Sometimes the simplest trades are best and today was once such day. I had a support line drawn at the lows as you can see in the chart below and as the price hit it for the third time, I went long at 3153. My stop was at 3145 so only 8 points away and I took profit at the previous top. A nice and easy 30 points!
Today I got into a couple of nice setups, very clean trading day. I like it when this happens, makes it very easy to trade. This was my second trade today, this time on the DOW. If you look at the longer timeframe charts you can see that the DOW is in an uptrend.. this means that I'm looking for long trades.. areas where I can buy cheap! Anyway, I was watching the DOW as below and drew a support line as the market was creeping upwards. Higher highs and higher lows though you can see that
As I progress with my trading, I'm finding myself more picky with the trades that I trade. I also like to take the trades off the longer timeframe charts as they are less stressful (though I use the shorter timeframe to enter). Anyway, have a look at Crude Oil today... I post the 1 hour chart below: What was interesting to me from this chart prior to the fall (as you see in the price bar one previous to the current price bar) is that the price had lingered around 10700.
