Rick anything you see that pops out at you for copper here?January Contract HGJ26 a=4.67 tos.mx/!pZoXiOXQ

The pattern is nearly spent, is what pops out. Short d, perhaps, if you’re so inclined. Can’t fathom why you used the April contract when the March is doing 200x more volume.

I had neither the time nor patience for babysitting my 58.59 voodoo bid in Jan Crude. (13:41 post). The futures Whoopee-Cushioned from a penny below it overnight, reminding me once again not to write off a trade just because a potential turning point has been missed by pennies on the first pass. This is a crucial concern with ‘mechanical’ trades, where there is no valid signal on a pullback to x unless p has actually been touched. It also applies to using targets even if there is a consolidation just shy of them. That’s where the most deceptive head-fakes occur. If you have a good pattern that you’re confident few others see, trust the HP levels to do what you expect of them.

RickGood afternoon any pause for the silver tradable close by? {{{{ [[ Use a=59.90 (12/5) on the March 60-min to buy a $1.43 pullback to ‘p’ from any high. My minimum target is still 70.81 in any case. RA }}} ]

ZBH26/30yr Bond-not sure what caused 20pt break off of the 115’23 high but haven’t sold anything yet. Moved stop up to b/e 115’00.

That means 58,43 [{{ No. based on the current high at 61.055, it means 59.99. RA }}}

11:14

  Nick the Gre

Ok thanks All clear

11:18

  Rick

No, wait, I fucked that up with an egregious rickism. You should place your bid exactly $1.06 beneath any high. Right now, based on the 61.05 top, that means at 59.99. Be aware, though, that if that p support fails, we will see slippage to 59.45; or, worst case, d=58.92. My gut feeling is that if SIH26 falls to p=59.99 too quickly — say, in less than 90 minutes — it will crack the support and fall to p2=59.45. That’s why I would use a ‘camo’ trigger to buy at p or p2. ALL of these numbers wil shift upward if SIH26 betters 61.05.

Ok Rick thanks

Bitcoin players are getting viciously played today. I wonder if they know it’s going to 96.660, $3,000 higher? Microscopically non-sausage B=93,161 on the ’60’.

ZBH26-this 60min http://tos.mx/!gWT8hVby actually triggered another buying opportunity this morning 3am

11:55

  Rick

That pattern can’t miss, including a still-to-come short at d. You’ll already know that it triggered a profitable buy at ‘x’, then another, ‘mechanical’, one.

FYI, Been adding to my CAPTF position. Lots of drill results on their way. Chief GEO says to me it’s a “no brainer” this is going to boost the resource. Also this CTGO/DVS merger is little understood but great opportunity

Beautiful GCG26 ‘a’ at 4203.30 on 12/4 (15-min). Gotta love the way p=4241.40 precisely stopped an uptrend to d=4285.00 (that has resumed). The pattern also rewarded diligence with a painless pullback to x=4219.60. Can’t recall what I was doing when this $8800 ‘mechanical’ winner triggered, Eating a Jiimmy Dean sausage/egg/cheese breakfast sandwich, I think.

So many have feared a pullback that they pared down their positions. Another example of how scared money doesn’t make money.

The pattern also rewarded diligence with a painless pullback to x=4219.60.We can buy at 4219,6 if will go there then lets see.Also silver i am waiting the pullback to buy [{{ Has yet to even signal the minor sell at x=60.57, let alone the ‘buy’ at p=60.04. Did you notice that these numbers have changed with the new high at 61.11? As Sparty keeps reminding us, bullion is not making it easy for those who hesitate. RA }}} ]

Of course noticed the new highs
