Last entry before 3 weeks at sea.

Gold –
What a ride! Exited short for a loss and felt gutted. Still had long in place. However, got scared and was not sure enough to trust gold rally and exited for moderate gain. Noticed that the gold move seemed to catch a lot of traders out (bugger). Plan to spend some time at sea looking into additional indicators.

Lesson learned - move up stop next time and don’t sit and watch markets (Not my style - prefer getting out of house).
Spotted a good after close market gold pattern- Can be played for 1-2$ moves. Will begin next time home.

Still watching market predictions: Alot seem off at moment, although indicators are weekly so can be delayed - should have clear indication if trend predictions come through in 3
weeks.

Return home March 19th -(Not trading until after 28th). Come on the Sun and sea!

Quick spy

Checked some markets today.
Not much in the way of strong trend indications. My hardest commodity, Soybean has signs of a price drop setting up. Maybe end of this week?

US Dollar looks like it may have a slight increase in price end of this week and next.

Crude oil, tricky one although looks up – However given the recent news that’s an easy on and may swing big time in one day.

Another short holiday break up north – then more market jive to continue starting Friday

SP500 Kiss Kiss lol

Still watching with interest three week predictions below. (A bit boring).- No orders on these ones.
SP500 profit target got hit- so smiles all around.
Spent rest of day reading trading books and setting up laptop.
Trying to get my research down to only an hour before bed 23:00hrs. Then spent next day doing hobbies getting out in sun and check on order progress around 23:00 following day.

Will hopefully be faster soon and post any orders before bed with prices.

Re-Think

Re Think: 26th July 2007
Dollar did begin its rise 3 days after 3 weeks after prediction made 9th April.
Soybean did drop a fews day later after the 9th although seemed to be in a bull market.
Cocoa did hit big low 16 days later.

Thoughts:
Understanding more that the trend change will occur , although mistake in the past was buying /selling before second indicator got hit.

Thoughts on Thursdays action:26th July 2007
US Dollar may set off 2nd indicator for rise in price - Todays action may hit?

Crude Oil has looks set for a drop in price awaiting second indicator to get hit?

Feeder Cattle : Seems to have a bit to got before 1rst and 2nd indicator is hit - then drop expected?

Gold : Nothing major flashing - price drop may continue although 50/50

Heating Oil: May have been missed- drop in price may continue

Copper HG : 2 Indicators hit - expect price drop - interesting one i never play Copper.

Soybean: God i hate it:devilish: - Looks like a drop - although only today i would say as im sh%te with this market.

DJIA : Just a small play today -short if 13770 is broken.
Right thats my thoughts - Will play a one that 2nd indicator gets hit - Although have Music festival to be at tomorrow so Small plays (Less stress).

Today 31rst July

Canadian Dollar looks like a bear for a while - Missed 2nd indicator when i was away (boo)

Wheat getting close to 2nd indicator - Im getting ready to go short.

Pork bellies set off 2nd (price rise)although not 1rst so im not playing.

Will play DJIA today with expected price rise - although i'm not using 1rst or 2nd indicators (just gonna try an old system i check out time 2 time).

Here we go
Regs
 
Sh%te

DJIA ahhhh 80 pts loss bugger bugger. Hmm Will only stick to 2nd and 1rst indicator.
Bugger bugger boo boo lol
Regs
 
Dollar

Dollar hit 2nd indicator on the 27th a day later than i posted and has risen in price since then. Strong fundamentals are at work now so would expect dollar to rise more.

Wheat near 2nd indicator for drop in price.
Cotton : Interesting as its shown a rise in price - yet would expect it to be dropping (will watch )

No markets played today -
Regs
 
Looking

Heating Oil /Crude Oil: ah getting close to 2nd indicator for price decline - ah so close.

Silver slowly creeeping towards a rally in price later on though: 1-2 months wait for action.

Will look for some plays today.
Regs
 
Crude Oil play

Crude Oil struck 2nd indicator and looks set for downward prices.

US Dollar hmm?? Did rise from the 27th after setting off 2nd indicator, although it was a small rally. The dollar then hit 2nd not first indicator although going downward?
Setup still says rise in price , although waiting for 2nd to be hit again- would expect rally once its hit.

Soybean- has hit 2nd indicator - although as always i'm not very good with this market at all. Lesson from past (sit and study it).

Watching Silver for small price rises?
Eurodollar: started watching for possible downward price setup.
Cotton: still looks down
 
Work calling

Crude Oil down down yeee ( Target limit set - going to sea on Monday).

Missed Nautural Gas hit 2nd and head up - would expect higher prices (not playing).

US Dollar Come on Come on im waiting for rise!!!! So close to 2nd indicator maybe this week will see it crosse with small price rise?( Holding off- not playing - wont be able to get an entry before i hit the high seas ;-(boo).
 
Time starts again

Back again - Good trip at sea (Nice weather most of the trip).

Crude went as inidcated with target hit;->

Lol ah i knew the dollar would go up and guess what? The bloody day i packed my bags it starts it climb and sets off 2nd indicator lol rahhhh .

Noticed that Soybean has been playing well . 2nd indicator hit both times and it followed correct path? (Maybe ill finally win this market lol).

Spent last few days sleeping - will check markets now.( Tried a few system ideas at sea - fancy playing with them alongside others.!!!.
Regs
 
Markets

Away Sat and Sunday.
Markets i like:

Lumber would expect higher prices - will wait for 2nd indicator this week.( Expect to play).
Wheat ( Been waiting ages for this market - still not near 2nd indicator , although set up for fall).

Soybean ( Hmm not feeling it - may get small drop - not strong enough to play - will stay away and learn).

Heating Oil (Set up for drop in price - waiting for 2nd indicator maybe this week- expect to play).

Feeder Cattle ( Not sure?? May drop will study and learn).

Have some currencies ill be watching although mostly Jap Yen for price drop.
So only expect to play two markets when set up complete.
