Double top has formed on the daily Bund (March). The second is looking like retracement bar too. Will keep an eye on the hourly for a possible entry

3 links for you.

1st Link is where the Bund Trades:
It tells you what it is what hours it trades and all the details
Eurex - Fixed Income Derivatives


2nd Link Make sure you are in the correct month:
This link also from Eurex site gives you the different months, you look for the month with the higuest volume, and trade that one!
Eurex - Fixed Income Derivatives

3rd Link is a chart of the bund (its in german):
The CHART here is much better than at the Eurex site.
You can use this site (onvista) to look at a good Live Chart of the Bund(only 20m delay I think!!)

50% fib set up with inside bar
s/r flip
green shade area target 1

Agree the SuperSpurs trade above.

Also check out CADJPY, another 240min pin off the lows.
And EURNOK, double top.

 

[xtraderx]

wedge on the hourly cable?

 

[omni]

Careful on cable, it is very "bity"....... medium term is unclear (i think...)

Try Eur/usd, much better state of possibilities.

head and shoulders on 4h dow jones, also if you look at the volume on the options going south it tells the same story. potential short at the break of the neckline (ive already got my options in place)

 

[montmorencyt2w]

By 'pivotal point' he means areas where price action has a tendency to return to ad then either move away/break, not the calculated pivots. Although these will give pretty good levels for the US equity indices.

If you look at the first post in the thread that level he has drawn in is a pivot drawn in to fit the price action, not calculated.

Thank you (belatedly) for the comment Choc13. Having worked a little further through the "Making Money Trading" thread, I have now come across a statement by TD which pretty much answers my original question. It is here:

"One thing I tried was calculated pivots. I downloaded the calculator, input the numbers and marked the areas on my charts. But they just didn't work for me. i didn't get a feeling for them. So I put them to one side and concentrated on what did work for me which was S/R and fib levels."

So that's it. In the context of the overall posting, I do not think he is saying that calculated pivots do not work, just that they did not work for him. (The implication being that they might work for others).

Genics

I can see that 4hr DOW H&S on the chart. Looks like it may test the Lows again then.

 

[N Rothschild]

tested trend line today and bounced, will be looking to short a decent pullback before we hopefully head south again

Good drills on that eur/gbp trade troops!!
Making a lovely weekly pin too, so should offer some pips on the way down should it form; the rise has been rather too steep so it needs a breather; I still think it may mount another attack on 'parity' as most people seem to want it to go that way? May see a fall back to the 23% fib at 9000 region?
Good trading all,
Grim

Surely there were heaps of phenomenal patterns to be taken at the resumption of normal trading this week - or if you were on the ball, around xmas ...

Did anyone manage to ride the whole moves in eurusd and usdchf in particular that i was watching ?
Or did u make the rookie mistake i did and take your profits WAY too early

I love this time of year.

I've not been involved in the FX much for a while...been hammering the oil with Spanish89 and the Bund has been soooo good to me in the first two trading days of this year.

I took 150 ticks out of it yesterday and 94 so far today.
