How are you?
Do you short the crude oil out of the bearish pin bar yesterday/
Hope you did.
If the momentum stays, she should continue south.

You have a way with words. Seriously sugar seems bullish and 18.07 area will confirm this. I hope to add then

I did not. 'cause I didnt see it I am jealous right now. However to compensate me I did short the 104 area but now wish I held it. You know how long I have been bleating about bearish crude. price is heading for 97 area at least imho. I believe I will still get a chance to get in again. Well done on the thrade. Why didnt you post the idea on the thread?

for crude oil.

Gold: No trade on me due to the lower tails of the last 2 candles (I see a favor in long)

A/U (and N//U) are ok to trade based on candle formations like pin bars. G/U and E/U are acting not - imho

No worry, pal.

There is always a chance for re-entry (pull back), perhaps on h4 / h1.

That hammer low on the weekly @1268 is seriously under pressure. If it goes we could see 1240 quickly before a meaningful bounce towards 1340 - if the massive weekly triangle idea plays out

Yes, looks like you could short a rally.
I don't short the grains so I'll let someone else make the $ on the way down :-)

I think so Olu, I think the bears are not yet over with gold. Letīs see the NFP today and whether or not we will brake the tail of the PB formed few days ago. (I donīt have a chart-I am travelling). On the other hand if gold holds today, I will close my short cause then the bulls will respond very well next week.

By the way 'Button' should have read 'Bottom' on the chart.

Pretty poor reaction considering the "good news" on the jobs data. I think there's much more to the dollar's move lower than the economic numbers.

Hi Olu, What do you think about these wedges for Wolfe Waves? As I understand it, we need to identify Point 2 as the "anchor" point, and it needs to be a very clear swing point. The other points then are built off Point 2. The completed wedge in Black gave Entry possibilities even tho Point 5 was Squishy. The current wedge in Blue, if true, is searching for Point 5 now. Point 1 was a pure guess based on congested Fractals and a possible slope to Point 3. Points 2 and 3 are more reasonable guesses with Weekly Fractals in place. In time Point 4 may...
Hi AG

I found what I would call a good WW in the eurusd 4hr chart and it appeared perfect. BTW I didnt trade it as I very much in the learning phase but I am getting better at spotting it

I agree with you Srt. Back to wait and see mode. it appears the ECB dont want the euro above 1.4000 though. they are jawboning it. They will probably fail in their attempts until they do something for real

Nat. Gas:

Still bullish but might wait for a little bigger pullback this time. Momentum seems to be slowing. The distance between swing highs is getting smaller so might wait for 4.57-4.60 area to get in this time. With my lack of patience though entry could be Monday :-)

Hi Olu,

Thanks for remembering me. I have a question, how did you pick Point 2? Or did you just like the look of symmetry as the pattern developed with a reasonable projection from Point 1 thru Point 4 to a Target.

Best, AG
Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind.

Very good question AG. I think point 2 can only be truly known when point 3 is formed. One can suspect that it is a possible point 2 especially if the pivot price action was sharp (ie price did not lust meander upwards and sideways. I had to put a paper on the scren and move it one bar at a time to see how quickly I would label it a 2. In the end it is just like when you suspect a falling wedge is being formed. The minute you see symmetry between the 1 and the 3 you are now on alert for 5. A line from 1 through the 4 peak will then give the target of the upmove if it materializes. Hope this helps
