Don't listen to other people or let the news influence your trading decisions.

I know it's difficult, because I've made three mistakes outside of my plan already this evening, being influenced by people on Twitter.

Sh!t.

so what are you gonna do next time?  ignore news?

my biggest mistake today was to miss that this last move was actually the close...!  completely forgot about time.  I would have expected to have made that mistake 20 years or so ago - but well, instead it had to be today.  went long extremely fast - and of course too early...  embarrassing - and not cheap..

was a genuine question, but I guess the answer is yes?

Well the answer is yes ...

If you are backtesting a strategy, do you look at historical news events or do you just go off your system?

So if you don't do it historically, why do it in live trading?

Yes, I agree.  If that is your approach, then it would be inconsistent to deviate under any circumstances.  ...which some cynical, ignorant loser might btw label an inherent weakness of strategies that can be back-tested....

strictly speaking its also wrong, of course one could maybe try to come up with a scoring system for the news - e.g. Covid outbreak in China eight bearish points...  Mnuch meeting Nancy one and a half volatility point...  something like that.  for sure there are algos/AI which do that and backtest it constantly... 

 

As a human you can only ignore it... ;)

Who, me? :D

The premise of TA is that everything gets reflected in the price (and to a lesser extent volume).

Knowing of upcoming 'events' helps to prepare you for potential spikes of activity, but that's it.  And there will always be events that you are not aware of and that you cannot prepare for.

no, it wasn't you I had in mind with that characterization - but someone much closer to me...

obviously you today saw reasons to deviate from the strategy.  now you say you never want to do that again. 

an alternative would maybe be considering this as an experiment, that confirmed (even) under today's circumstances, you should have stuck to the plan - so you've learned something about your strategy which is an improvement.  and accept that you might be doing similar experiments in the future, and fine-tune your strategy in this sense.

in my case today was the opposite - it was probably the first time that I managed to stick to one rule of my relatively recent plan.  I had already managed to stop chasing losses, but today I think was actually the first time I managed to not chase lost winnings..  

so don't be too harsh to yourself - if occasionally you deviate from the plan, consider there are people for who sticking to the plan is still a rare occurence...

(I completely got carried a way the last ten minutes - made like 50 trades with stop distance 2...  and then 4 with 10 - all hit.  stupid, but could be worse, at least small sizes.  I need to avoid the last hour or something, when I turn into a slot machine player...  2nd time in an otherwise okay-ish week.)

you were right - why were you short?  I expected a bit if a rebound after this underperformance

 

I don't go lower than 15 mins chart (where you can clearly see the bearish turn).  1 minute seems to be for extreme scalping and for people who can afford to bet £10+ per point, so bagging 5 - 10 pips is worthwhile

When?  Oh I let it run out to my stop loss.  :(. When my stop loss got hit I was spooked and closed my Wall Street trade, but that trade would have made me money if I'd left it :(

 

good NDX trade - forget about the Dow trade.  you had your reasons to close it, if they are usually valid, it was right

    • Let's see. The market general market is in a downtrend though.. but some memes are not so bad. Been accumulating BOBO, APECOIN, BOMB after sighting them on Bitget memezone. Let's see how his unfolds.
    • Dear @IanClayton, Thank you for your post. Please note that these are not the same. The ETF with the ticker symbol NUSI (available on the platform) you are referring to is an actively managed exchange-traded fund that seeks to achieve its investment objective principally by investing in a portfolio of the stocks included in the Nasdaq-100® Index and an options collar (i.e., a mix of written (sold) call options and long (bought) put options) on the Nasdaq-100. We do not have NBS on our platform. Thanks, KoketsoIG
    • GX Uranium ETF (URA) Elliott Wave Analysis Function - Counter trend Mode - Corrective Structure - Impulse for wave A (circled) Position - Wave (4) of A (circled) Direction -  Wave (4) is still in play Details -  A bearish impulse from 33.69 is emerging for wave A (circled) and we should see further decline. Overview of GX URA ETF   The GX URA ETF, also known as the Global X Uranium ETF, is designed to reflect the performance of companies operating within the uranium industry. This ETF offers investors a diversified portfolio that includes firms engaged in uranium mining, exploration, and production on a global scale. As nuclear power is increasingly recognized as a cleaner energy alternative, the potential for increased uranium demand grows, making the GX URA ETF an attractive option for investors looking to capitalize on the sector's growth.   Daily Chart Analysis Analyzing the daily chart, the GX Uranium ETF completed a bullish impulse wave cycle in May 2024, reaching $33.69, up from $17.70 in July 2022. This represented an impressive gain of over 88% in 26 months. From an Elliott wave perspective, such a substantial rise is typically followed by a bearish correction. Since peaking at $33.69, the ETF has been undergoing a downward correction. Ideally, this would involve a three-wave bearish correction. Currently, the ETF appears to be completing the first wave of this correction, known as wave A (circled). After this wave concludes, a corrective bounce is expected for the second wave, followed by another downward move in wave C (circled), which will complete the corrective phase.   Alternatively, there is a possibility of a bearish impulse wave decline that could drive the ETF price back down to $17.70 or even lower. This scenario is plausible because the initial impulse sequence to $33.69 marked the completion of wave (c) of a supercycle degree within a larger bullish corrective cycle that began in March 2020. Given that both forecasts indicate a further decline, it is reasonable to expect the ETF to fall to at least $25 in the coming weeks.   H4 Chart Analysis On the H4 chart, the bearish impulse wave from $33.69 is still unfolding and is currently in wave (5). There is potential for further extension towards the $27-$28 range, where wave (5) is expected to conclude. Following this, a bullish correction for wave B (circled) could occur, providing a temporary relief before the next phase of the bearish correction sets in.   Summary Overall, the GX URA ETF's recent performance and technical analysis suggest that investors should prepare for potential downward movement in the near term while considering the long-term opportunities presented by the uranium sector's growth potential.
