Real Time Wot to Do

[barjon]

Following suggestions on the Wot to Do thread here's a real time one for RBS. As anyone comes across this thread do your analysis from the thumbnails before you look to see what the latest state of play is. the daily, M15 and ftse included to help.

You're working from H1, entered long with stoploss as indicated with a target area in mind. Good move yesterday but opening down gap and we're here shortly after 11am. What are you going to do?

 

[Purple Brain]

exit.

 

[Purple Brain]

Rationale for exit is that the gap down bar closed in the upper region of the HL range which was bullish, but the subsequent bars 'filled in' that lower shadow and has traded below the opening bar's low.

Barjon - you've really cornered the market with your 'WOT' threads. So much so I'm thinking of basking in your glory by starting my own for less experienced traders titled - Wot Have I Done!

I'm holding her long! Balls of steel.
I think it could go lower down to around our entry, but I'd expect another leg up and I think our stop will be safe.

RBS looking to divest it's $800m loan to Eagle Bulk. I would have thought the move to reduce balance sheet risk would have been interpreted in a positive manner - unless the perception of their intent is seen as being born from a position of relative weakness. I guess it depends on how much is being bid to take that $800m off their books - probably hugely discounted.

Personally, I think your initial target was perhaps a little ambitious
I am with you on the entry, but short term targets have been met and slightly exceeded. The retrace could be going as low as 323 and with a sell signal I'm well out of there and looking to get back in.
Thats my rationale anyway

 

[Triggerfish]

What are you going to do?

Let it ride with a target of £3.84.

 

[Purple Brain]

Interesting to look at a different asset class to forex.

Is there any basis for suggesting 332 is a technical s/r level, currently acting as resistance?

 

[barjon]

Three hours later and it's looking like this - a little worse for wear

PurpleBrain shouldn't be worrying about target since he's already gone

See if US wakes things up one way or t'other

Stop now under the hourly swing at 329, first profit target at 340ish.

 

[Shakone]

By the way, is there any expected news out for RBS soon (coming days)? I don't trade stocks, but you wouldn't give us a chart right before earnings or some court hearing for fixing would you Barjon?

I was unable to get in on the start of this so I will just say what I would do right now which is not how I would have played it from the start.

EXIT HERE
Look at the daily chart, trend is currently down. The green candle looks like a blow off top from the rally from the low and the next day opens much lower. Hourly gap down then some consolidation. All signs point to a retrace all the way back to the entry and most likely lower.

I take no pleasure in being the only one to have taken a profit in a timely manner after a masterful analysis.






That's a lie - of course I do.

 

[barjon]

Here we are just after 9am today

Shaky gone now as well

Buy it all now, roll it up a few pts, fill or kill each time, spook the market.

Now, I must go and finish my morning bottle of grande cuvee on the terrace and make some calls with my enormous mobile.

 

[barjon]

All profit gone now and into the unforgivable for the balls of steel pair.

Fear not, dear boy.
All going to plan.
Got my drop back to entry, and now for lift off!
