Seems like often the best strategy in trading is - not to trade.

Most of the time yes, if you are a longer term swing trader.  You have to wait for the right moments when all your rules are met, likelihood of success is high and risk exposure is low.  Once you are in a trend then buy the dips (or the opposite) is the way to go, leveraging your previous in the money positions.  Then you need to be clear on exit strategy so you don't follow the trend off the cliff edge with the other lemmings.  

Right now I don't see a trade on stock indices for longer term swing traders, only for day traders.  Gold/Silver may offer something Short if Stocks fly, NFP will be a key for that scenario as the reverse may be true.  The only market that seems clear (ish...) is USD up, for now.  Commodities seem to be back into a bear market, the reflation trade being cancelled (or suspended maybe).  I don't trade Copper but the turn I spotted was the right place to go Short if you wanted to.  May get a retest of the breakout point, which could offer another way in to a Short as down seems to be the way of it.  Oil is at a critical point and may go either way; Oil marches to the beat of its own drum.  Softs are also back in bearish territory for the moment.

So if you are a day trader then in and out quick, don't leave a position open over night and certainly not over a weekend.  If you are a long term trader, wait for the fog to clear.  Maybe today with NFP, although possibly not immediately, depends on the print.  Will bad news be bad again or a signal for the Fed to get out the printing press?  Will good news push the melt up to even crazier levels?  Will a mediocre print cause an initial move one way followed by a reversal?  Who know in this crazy market?

Are we there yet?  Not sure.  Won't be until after the fact, like everyone else.  As we come to the last of the big ticket economic data releases and people wonder what a big miss means or hope for a big beat to drive the crazy gang higher I wonder what a near miss would mean.  ISM manufacturing was a decent beat and back above 50, for now, but ISM non manufacturing was mixed, a sign of things to come..?

Apple is at an interesting point now as it looks like a decent shout for a final wave 5 of 5 is there with strong NMD on Weekly and Daily charts.  Tesla has blinked, will probably retrace back up a fair bit before any capitulation but the case for the Top is there.

Can't trade it Short until there is a clear signal to.  Wouldn't trade it Long because of the risk of a fast and major reversal, hmm what's a trader to do..?  Wait for NFP I guess.

I think we are concluding a 5 thwave traingle , It might hit $333 , but given that it is now ex div , it might not make it that far,,,,expect Tesla style collapse soon !

I guess after such a ramp up it will drop like a stone when it does go.  I expect Tesla to retrace to between 850-900 before the wheels really come off.  Of course I wouldn't bet on it given the current levels of euphoria but that will change for no apparent reason...

Ten years of stock market gains for the bulls ... almost makes you wonder if perhaps buy-and-hold people have the right idea, and that 'trading' is a very unprofitable thing to do?

Depends what you hold ....Ford   GE    Connoco Philips  IBM ........All lost out over 10 years,,,,  In reality its the tech sector that are the out and out winners...Everything else is just catching up....

Guess what the strategy will be after prices fall for a bit :P

Quote

“A lot of advisors and institutions, they jump in the bandwagon because they don’t want to trail,” said vocal Tesla bull Ross Gerber, president and chief executive of Gerber Kawasaki in Santa Monica, California. “If Tesla goes to $1,000 and they don’t own it, what are they going to tell their clients?”

Gerber trimmed his fund’s position in the stock as the company’s valuation soared. He hopes to buy more if the stock falls and said a fair valuation would be around $550.

Apple warns of revenue miss due to coronavirus

Temporary, right?

So, what are the things we know?

- Big investors have gone on record as saying that they want to buy at lower prices

- Hits to profits etc not expected to last forever

What do we draw from these conclusions (which are facts, I suppose, and not opinions)?

There will be buying demand after prices fall to a certain level.

What are the trading/investing conclusions?

Buy the dips.

Do we know how long the dips will last?

No.

Therefore, buy and hold.

Save yourself six grand, and don't try to be smart.

Why are you assuming its temporary....?  

Cv2019 may have impact now....lower foot fall etc etc....

Medium term....World economy....? Japan,. Indonesia, Italy all struggling with recession.  USA GDP indicating around 1.4 %.  All depends on consumer sentiment.  That changes like the wind.....

Chinese banks were under intense pressure in 2019 with the slowing (6%) Chinese economy then.  Phase 1 was supposed to cure all world ills....Chinese economic growth as estimated by J P Morgan is 3% at best.  

Us/European manufacturing is struggling ....demand for money to invest in real things like plant and machinery is weak....What does 10 year money at 1.55% say to you.....big demand for investment in the real economy (not iphones...thats just add ons) . Int rates say it all....The world economy is on its back and Cv2019 was the last straw.  

So short term .....No I do nt believe so,,,...  Chickens will come home to roost they always do,

Most of the world's money is in the hands of a few, and they've chosen to use all of it for the purposes of inflating asset prices.  The rest of us are reduced to neo-feudalism, creating relationships of dependence (sometimes in a really servile and degrading way) on others in order to scratch out a living.

The virus will be temporary even if causes recessions all over the globe ... at some point it'll come to an end unless you think it's going to last forever?

Yes i hope it will be 'temporary', but I believe the effects will be longer lasting than the 'quarter' results that brokers would like you to believe (and therefore buy shares). 

The world economy was under stress prior to Cv2019....Wall st has hung its hat on 2 things....Cheap money from the Fed (they will always bail you out right????) and new trade deals....Phase 1 has been lack lustre ....look at Soyabeans/wheat...agri products to see what is actually happening....The Chinese are nt there any more than they ever were.....

Lets not talk about the US budget deficit.....nobody is,,...but Can Trump really conjure up another tax cut to please Wall st ???  They ll become Italy mark 2....and the crash of 1987 (when I was a young dealer) was caused by 2 things....a US trade deficit out of control and a budget deficit out of control.  Last week the US announced their burgoning Federal deficit.....All fine when the suns out and wall st is sailing along.....But ....drop in demand??  rise in unemployment ???  Something will have to give...wont it?  

The US feel good factor is based on the equity market where it is.  If Wall st fell even 5%....Consumer confidence would stop dead....

You should consider being an author on the side. Quite amusing rant. 😄

    • GBPUSD Elliott Wave Analysis Trading Lounge Day Chart,     British Pound/U.S.Dollar(GBPUSD) Day Chart   GBPUSD Elliott Wave Technical Analysis FUNCTION: Counter Trend                               MODE: Impulsive as A                           STRUCTURE:  red wave 3                           POSITION:  blue wave A                               DIRECTION NEXT HIGHER  DEGREES: blue wave 4                             DETAILS:red wave 2 of A completed at 1.17096 , now red wave 3 is in play . Wave Cancel invalid level:  1.27096       The GBP/USD Elliott Wave Analysis for the Daily Chart explores the British Pound versus the U.S. Dollar using the Elliott Wave framework. This analysis provides a structured view of the market trends, focusing on counter-trend waves and their implications for traders and analysts.   ### Function The function of this analysis is identified as "Counter Trend," suggesting that the observed wave patterns represent a phase that moves against the prevailing longer-term trend. This could imply a corrective movement within a broader trend, indicating a temporary reversal or consolidation before the primary trend resumes.   ### Mode The mode is categorized as "Impulsive as A," indicating that the current wave structure represents an impulsive move typically found at the beginning of a new wave cycle. This mode generally suggests a strong, directional movement, often indicating the initial stages of a larger trend shift.   ### Structure The structure is noted as "red wave 3," highlighting an impulsive wave that typically denotes a continuation of a broader trend. Red wave 3 within this context could signify a strong push in the counter-trend direction.   ### Position The position in the Elliott Wave sequence is "blue wave A," indicating that the observed pattern is part of an impulsive phase. This position often aligns with a larger correction within a broader trend, suggesting that the current impulsive phase is still part of a counter-trend movement.   ### Direction for the Next Higher Degrees The anticipated direction for the next higher degrees is "blue wave 4," indicating that once the current wave completes, the structure will likely transition to a corrective phase. Blue wave 4 typically represents a temporary retracement within a broader impulsive pattern.   ### Details The analysis specifies that red wave 2 of wave A completed at 1.17096, with red wave 3 now in play. This implies that the current impulsive wave is expected to continue, potentially leading to a broader counter-trend movement. The Wave Cancel invalid level is set at 1.27096, indicating a critical threshold. If the price crosses this level, it would invalidate the current wave structure, necessitating a reevaluation of the Elliott Wave count.   In summary, the GBP/USD Elliott Wave Analysis on the Daily Chart describes a counter-trend movement with an impulsive mode, focusing on red wave 3 within blue wave A. The structure is expected to continue its impulsive trend, with a Wave Cancel invalid level serving as a key point for determining if the current analysis remains valid.         GBPUSD Elliott Wave Analysis Trading Lounge 4 Hour Chart,     British Pound/U.S.Dollar(GBPUSD) 4 Hour Chart   GBPUSD Elliott Wave Technical Analysis FUNCTION: Trend                               MODE: corrective                           STRUCTURE: black wave 2                           POSITION: red wave 3                               DIRECTION NEXT LOWER DEGREES: black wave 3                             DETAILS: black wave of 2 is in play and likely to end between fib level 50.00 to 61.80 . Wave Cancel invalid level: 1.27096       The GBP/USD Elliott Wave Analysis on the 4-Hour Chart provides insights into the British Pound versus the U.S. Dollar within the framework of Elliott Wave Theory. This analysis helps traders understand the underlying wave structure and anticipate potential market movements.   ### Function The function of this analysis is identified as "Trend," indicating that the overall market movement aligns with a broader trend. In this case, the trend reflects a continuation pattern where market waves are forming in a way that aligns with the primary direction of the trend.   ### Mode The mode is labeled as "corrective," suggesting that the current wave structure represents a correction within a larger trend. Corrective modes typically signify a temporary pullback or consolidation, indicating that the price is currently in a counter-trend phase.   ### Structure The structure in this analysis is specified as "black wave 2," which represents an intermediate-level correction. This wave generally appears within a larger trend to correct an earlier impulsive movement, signaling a potential retracement before the larger trend resumes.   ### Position The position in the wave pattern is "red wave 3," indicating that the corrective structure is situated within a broader Elliott Wave framework. Red wave 3 represents a key point in the corrective phase, suggesting an ongoing retracement that could lead to a shift in trend direction.   ### Direction for the Next Lower Degrees The expected direction for the next lower degrees is indicated as "black wave 3." This suggests that once the correction completes, the wave pattern will likely transition to a more impulsive phase, potentially indicating a continuation of the broader trend.   ### Details The analysis details that black wave 2 is currently in play and is expected to conclude between the 50.00 and 61.80 Fibonacci retracement levels. This range often indicates a common end for corrective waves, signifying a potential turning point in the trend. The Wave Cancel invalid level is set at 1.27096, suggesting that if the price crosses this point, the current wave structure is invalidated, requiring a re-evaluation of the Elliott Wave count.   In summary, the GBP/USD Elliott Wave Analysis on the 4-Hour Chart describes a trend with a corrective mode, indicating that black wave 2 is nearing completion, with a potential transition to a more impulsive black wave 3. The end of this correction between the 50.00 and 61.80 Fibonacci levels might suggest the resumption of the primary trend, with a critical invalidation point to consider for risk management.   Technical Analyst : Malik Awais   Source : Tradinglounge.com get trial here!
