Overnight Trade Setup From Gold

As they said from Japanese words, making money is like digging (in) a sand with a pin ( a needle? or words to that effect), so to make money in trading you need to do something like this trade setup from Gold in the overnight session. You need to stay awake to be a Gold 'digger', in this kind of market or trading business, as an ordinary participant where your own advantage is your observation against the well capitalized/well equipped/brightest market participants, all you have to do is to snipe when they are out. Most of the time you can't beat them, but with patience like that 'words' from the 'arigatus', you can still outsmart them!

Short Trade Setup From Gold

Gold was indecisive from the overnight session only to drop hard late into the market closing. It formed an 'h' pattern like, as Jamie from the Wall Street Warrior always posted from his blog. I wonder what's going on with Jamie these past months, I haven't seen any new post. Anyhow, this 'classic' pattern from Gold today is one of his favorite trade setup.

Hard Landing From Gold

While all the major indices made a nice upwards move in Friday's market, the Gold suffered a hard landing to the floor (ouch...) as shown from this 15 minute chart. The market last Friday were all positive because of encouraging jobless report. But for the Gold which is my/the main instrument in tracking/finding trades suffered the most. Not able to catch this encouraging 'short' due to some pressing matters, that could have been a slam. Been missing a lot of moves lately, will just bounce the next time around.

Stuck futures up on hopes stimulus to continue; Tesla stumbles

Reuters – 11 minutes ago

 

By Chuck Mikolajczak

 

NEW YORK (Reuters) - U.S. stock index futures rose on Wednesday on the possibility the Federal Reserve may keep stimulus measures in place longer than anticipated ahead of data key later this week on the labor market and economic growth.

John Williams, president of the San Francisco Federal Reserve Bank, said Tuesday the Fed should wait for stronger evidence of economic momentum before pulling back on its massive bond-buying program, but should then announce a definitive end to the stimulus.

Adding to speculation about a more dovish Fed, two of the Federal Reserve's top staff economists made the case in new research papers for more aggressive action by the U.S. central bank to drive down unemployment by promising to hold interest rates lower for longer.

Many market participants have expected the Fed to hold off on scaling back its $85 billion monthly bond purchases due to expectations that a partial government shutdown in early October has hurt the economy.

The S&P 500 (^GSPC) is up 23.6 percent for the year, putting it on track for its best yearly performance since 2003, boosted in large part by the Fed's stimulus measures.

S&P 500 futures rose 8.8 points and were above fair value, a formula that evaluates pricing by taking into account interest rates, dividends and time to expiration on the contract. Dow Jones industrial average futures gained 67 points and Nasdaq 100 futures added 12.25 points.

Tesla Motors Inc (TSLA) shares slumped 11.1 percent to $157.15 before the opening bell after the electric car maker forecast a weaker-than-expected fourth-quarter profit and posted third-quarter Model S deliveries that disappointed some analysts.

Microsoft Corp (MSFT) edged up 0.6 percent to $36.85 in premarket trading after sources familiar with the matter said the world's largest software maker had narrowed its list of external candidates to replace Chief Executive Steve Ballmer to about five people, including Ford Motor Co (NYS:F) chief Alan Mulally and former Nokia (HEX:NOK1V) CEO Stephen Elop.

As earnings season moves into its tail end, S&P companies expected to report earnings on Wednesday include Qualcomm Inc (QCOM) and Whole Foods Market Inc (WFM).

According to Thomson Reuters data, of 404 companies in the S&P 500 that reported results through Tuesday morning, 69.6 percent beat Wall Street's expectations, above the long-term average of 63 percent. However, just 53.3 percent beat revenue forecasts, below the 61 percent average since 2002.
European shares rose, erasing the previous session's losses, on better-than-expected results. (.EU)

Most Asian markets were little changed amid uncertainty over monetary policy in the United States and Europe, though Japanese stocks rose, thanks to gains in major car makers.

Halloween Market

It's the first day of November, a Halloween day, no idea if the market is conducive to trade or participate today, the way I can see from the market today is quite confusing. Maybe there might be a last 'minute' trade before the close, but I think lots of noise might happen early in the market. Though the indices are on the positive trend as of this posting, the futures are in quandary. We'll see how it goes, will just do net surfing for the day and do some/search other activity/interest for some diversion, sometimes we need to take a break/stay away from the market once in a while. Though it's so hard to be away from the market when you are so 'attached' to it (seems better than having a partner?), especially if you sleep and breath with the market, in bad times and in good times, in losing and in winning, love the market is what you do.

!@#$%^&*(+? Setup For Thursday

With this 15 minute chart from Crude, I don't know ever since I learned trading in '07, no idea if I can trade this s#$%@&*...

Addendum: I think it's for Halloween?

 

A Nice Triangle Setup ('Offense') From Gold

Spotted this pattern from Gold late in the overnight session and was able to capture the main move. As if it was the days of the Chicago Bulls era under Phil Jackson's 'triangle offense'. And it was a slam trade today from Gold. Nice triangle formation!
