The DAX finished the week on a positive note and the DJIA did not.  So, f*k that sh!t.  :)

Well back due to popular demand (?), but weekends only. I am no fan of the forum platform IG has, which resembles Facebook.

This is the correlations with the Dow and Dax over the last ninety 1 minutes, ninety 5 minutes and so forth.

Since the high of the Nasdaq and the consolidation at the recent highs the Indices have been going there own way somewhat. The Dow and S&P500 as well as the Dax and FRA40 have had low correlations. Actually the Dax and S&P500 resemble each other more than they do the Dow. But this is something one can see on the charts in real time. The Dax pulling ahead on its own to make a high for the week leaving the Dow behind  (perhaps because upbeat information was due from China in 12 hours time). To my eye, the Dax visibly resembles the S&P500 more than the Dow for a couple of months.

But I am not going to dump the Dow in favour of the S&P500 because of a one day loss in the last twenty days.

I’ve started to look at Brian Watt’s videos which others have mentioned. Even if his 20 point boxes are better than daily pivots for the S&P500, I am staying with the daily pivots on the seven indices which I watch because I want my eyeballs on the same thing over and over. The area of most improvement for me is improving an assessment of market conditions anyway.

How about practicing Elliot Wave?  

I can see the usefulness of listening to someone with experience in price action and chart structure on a five minute chart, but I doubt Elliot Wave would be useful. I will brave the idiosyncratic lingo of Al Brooks.

Well good luck with that, five minute charts are no use to me.

Look at it another way. If someone can’t spot something on a five minute time frame (and the type of analysis is useful for longer time frames) how good are they really?

Is your 'Al Brooks' good?  And if so, why's he spending his time teaching and not trading on the five minute charts?

I am not going to answer that, except to say that I have seen some of his videos and am confident I can benefit from seeing more.

There is also Bob Volman’s “Understanding Price Action: practical analysis of the 5-minute time frame”.  There is a lot of free introductory  videos posted here that look alright to me, but I don’t think I have much to learn from.

One of the difficulties beginners have is they can’t tell what they may not benefit from and is probably ****, hence all the You Tube advertisements I am getting while watching Brian Watt’s videos.

I got censored. 😀

I'm not sure how or why, if you've already been profitable 1700 out of 1900 times.

A lot of TA education is cherry picking and showing you the awesome power of hindsight and isn't useful at all for trying to trade.

I imagine it's good money though, as you have lots of desperate and gullible people paying you money to receive 'training'.

FTSE 100 - now something like 53% of IG clients short, just a little while ago is was 60%+ long.  See how people get stopped out when it makes a false break down.  If they were looking at higher time frames and keeping deeper stops they would stay in their trades and make money.

OK I am probably done for the day so I will post.

I am looking at the S&P500 more than the Dow now.

    • FTSE 100 makes yet another record high while DAX and S&P 500 rally is slowing down Outlook on FTSE 100, DAX and S&P 500 ahead of Thursday’s BoE monetary policy meeting. Source: Getty Images Written by: Axel Rudolph FSTA | Senior Financial Analyst, London   Publication date: Wednesday 08 May 2024 13:37 FTSE 100 hits yet another record high The FTSE 100 has so far seen four straight days of gains with each making a new record high ahead of this morning’s, the fifth day in a row around the 8,350 mark. Further up beckons the 8,500 region. The tentative April-to-May uptrend line at 8,280 offers support. Source: ProRealTime DAX 40 trades in one-month high The DAX 40 has seen four straight days of gains take it to a one-month high around the 18,450 level with the April record high at 18,636 representing the next upside target. Potential slips should find good support between the 24 and 29 April highs at 18,240 and 18,238. Source: ProRealTime S&P 500 see five straight days of gains The S&P 500’s 3.5% rally from its early May low amid five consecutive days of gains has taken it to the 5,200 mark around which it may short-term lose upside momentum. A slip towards the 5,132 to 5,123 55-day simple moving average (SMA) and the late April high might be on the cards for this week. Were the recent advance to continue, though, the April record high at 5,274 would be back in the frame. Source: ProRealTime
    • Gold price edges down, while WTI crude price comes under pressure and natural gas price rallies to four-month high While gold is fighting to hold on to gains and natural gas has soared to a four-month high, oil prices have slumped through the lows of last week. Source: Getty Images Written by: Chris Beauchamp | Chief Market Analyst, London   Publication date: Wednesday 08 May 2024 13:22 Gold remains above recent lows The price continues to carve out a low, with buyers entering over the past week to ensure that, for now, the $2290 level holds. If this marks the low for the time being then we could see a resumption of the move higher, with the higher low helping to reinforce the bullish medium-term view. This then targets the $2400 highs from mid-April. A close back below $2280 negates this outlook, and could see the 50-day simple moving average (SMA) tested next. Source: ProRealTime WTI pushes to two-month low Oil prices have suffered further losses in morning trading, dropping through the lows of Monday and Friday and heading to levels not seen since mid-March. Signs of a lessening of tensions in the Middle East appear to be behind the move, which has negated the nascent indications of a low that appeared over the previous two sessions. The February lows at $76 now come into view. A close back above $78 and the 100-day SMA would be needed to revive hopes that a low has formed. Source: ProRealTime Natural Gas hits four-month high The past week has seen the price, finally, make serious headway, and it now finds itself back at the late January highs. Further gains would head towards the 200-day SMA. The price might yet create a lower high, though this would need a reversal and close back below 2100 to signal some near-term weakness is at hand.
