BW,

this is right up your street. You were saying the path of least resistance is down. Price out in a double top on this 4h chart. MACD is turning down as well. I am leaving this one alone though..

Yes, struggling a little up here. I'll be passing on any shorts though as I don't want to fight the bullish fundamentals of cocoa. I'll be waiting for a bigger correction to possibly get back in long. I exited my last long around 2800 so would like to see it somewhere around 2600 to get back in.

Well done Srt on your cocoa trade. While you are waiting for 2600 to buy that same number will do me nicely. Somehow somehow I am thinking the very high is in and while we will get backs and forths from here the net direction will be down. If 2825 is taken out my idea is rubbish.

Nat. Gas:

I should have posted this one a while ago. I'd look to add if we get a decent pullback. I've been long for a couple weeks.

Yes Olu, on the weekly we're right in the area where previous support failed so could have a problem here. I'll just watch it if it should get lower to see how hard it's falling.

Nothing bullish yet in the chart but after the long fall, I'll be watching for any signs of a bounce higher.

Might get a bit bullish with a push above 3.40.

Hi Olu,

Great thread, do you mind if i post some of my 9-5'r charts here?

Also which broker are you using for uk spreadbetting?

Im wondering which is best for long term with rolling rates and things, I have noticed some have great spreads but when carrying a trade for days and weeks the costs can mount up!

Great thanks Olu. All my trades are based off weekly / daily with occasional analysis of h4 and monthly. I can't post a chart now (work) but I'm liking aud/usd for a small up wave around here.
