No Intraday, Swing Trading Only. All Markets.

Ideally a place to try to call and ride the rare and fat trades that take days to weeks to unfold completely.

Bold calls hopefully beyond noise, hiccups & micro flows.

====================================================================

Stating probably the obvious but

Each call should come with an entry, a target, a stop, and a reason based on FA and/or TA.

Min R:R = 1

PEGI 18 thread so trolls etc. not allowed.

NYSE:UBER

UBER has probably done more for the economic empowerment of people living in underprivileged districts than any random social plan from any random government, but it is now facing everincreasing competition in the sector, legal issues (in particular with local labour laws) and growing demands from its contractors.


TA wise

IPO last May 2019 --> little up --> stall --> freefall -50% --> up


Current leg up was capped last week by last August 9th rejection. Price has drawn a SH at this level which has been rejected.

Trade's idea is just to sell the pullback to this rejection - pullback that occured today - to aim the nearest SL and last reversal up as second target. That's for the ST play.

MT wise, play is to aim the same reversal up + 2 more targets near the bottom of the range.

Natural stop is few ticks above current high ; tight risk - $1 per share - as current high taken will probably unlock the top of the range.

In other words :

ST Sell UBER 41.0x TP1 36.7x TP2 35.0x STP 42.01

MT Sell UBER 41.0x TP1 35.0x TP2 30.2x TP3 28.3x STP 42.01

From this perspective, 1.068x is the natural target for bears riding current swing down. I don't believe in the "fill the gap and up we go" fairy tale thing we see everywhere as it looks too "easy".

In any case, profit taking, wherever it happens, will trigger a sharp and deep retrace as some hands are riding the swing down from 1.12xx/1.11xx.

It's either now (as price filled the gap) or later (1.068x imo).

Here having a pending long 1.068x TP1 1.078x TP2 1.088x STP 1.058x

(R:R wise, last part of the swing down to 1.068x not tradable imo)

Yeah I always wondered if anyone is able to exploit much money from SWING... I knew some traders that did so.... but with important detail.. they SWINGED before the SWAN... The smart ones, in my belief, know what it is, SWINGING.. some that confuse SWINGING with "real" trading might get burned eventually since market(s) doesn't swing forever, depends on the timeframe of course, but you get the idea

Anyway, would like to see some SWING style TE if possible...
Can you afford to take that chance?

Good numbers today from EZ, especially from Germany manufacturing sector (still contracting but it's coming from 41.xx), recovery seems to continue, and Bad numbers from the US, ugly print from the services sector (the only sector that was holding worldwide !) now contracting ... EURUSD looks set to build a ST bottom ..

=> Time to track CME FedWatch tool, probability for a cut in March was 10% before todays number, probability of a cut in June was 50% (40% 2 weeks ago)

ST Map I have in EURUSD :

As it stands :

-> 1.0866 and 1.091x are nearest resistances

-> If price takes back 1.092x, we will have a ST Bottom confirmed.

Probably of a FED cut in June jumped to 60% last friday but it is now at 75 % (!) via covid19 news.
Probably of a FED cut in March has jumped to 25% (not meaningful levels yet (probably too tight timing wise, unless an emergency cut (FED bias is neutral since Oct FOMC))

On ECB Side, despite covid19 news, there is not a lot to expect, ECB has runned out of ammo ; at last two meetings, their call for fiscal stimulus was unanimous. 2 weeks ago, EZ finance ministers agreed fiscal expansion if things get worse on macro front.

=> Fiscal stimulus in EZ would be Euro positive & Obviously Fed Cut expectations will give EURUSD a double boost.

The only problem is current risk off environment triggered by this week-end covid19 news. EURUSD has to digest, first, current risk off flows fueling USD.

TA wise in EURUSD :

As long as we don't have a ST bottom confirmed (ie. 1.092x taken back ), it's super risky to go long at these levels as we don't have TA bottom in the area. The nearest bottom I have is still at 1.068x where I have my only pending long :

We could move 200 pips down via risk off flows and 400 pips up via FED/Fiscal stimulus in EZ
=> Sideline here, waiting for FED flows/EZ fiscal stimulus flows to take the upper hand on current risk-off flows

EURUSD looks set for another failure to take 1st resistance : Last SH's rejection keeps capping the flow ...

That means some hands are still selling/adding shorts at that break down point and they are weighing heavier than those preempting FED / EZ fiscal stimulus flows.

=> still not interested by longs (swing wise) as long as 1.092x is not taken back or 1.068x touched.

To the downside, I still feel it's too risky to try to ride swing 1.086x --> 1.068x as FED members can pop up at anytime, which will probably wipe out all short positions in a flash move.

Sell off continues today
I'm still thinking week will be saved, especially in US equities as it's far too early for a MT reversal macro wise especially with current FED monetary policy (very aggressive). But my trades were awful, in particular timing wise as it was only Tuesday and end of the week was far away.
