THE KOG REPORT:
In last week’s KOG Report, what can we said during the early part of the week we wouldn’t be looking to long the market, instead, we would look for a high to form and then short the market back down in to 2230 and below that 2220. We got the short into the initial levels which is where we suggested during the week that traders take the trades and wait for a RIP. We gave the bias level targets as bullish above 2220 and long trades to be take into 2250 and above that 2286 on the bounces, which as you can completed. Then came NFP and the long trade from the support level, again giving us a great capture enabling us to have traded this down and then up again level to level almost pip to pip entry and exit.
Please be aware, these levels are not small captures, you only need to look at the chart posted to see the distance that has been covered in this play.
Great week for us in Camelot, not only on Gold, but on the numerous other pairs we trade. Hit rate was amazing, pip capture through the roof!
So, what can we expect in the week ahead?
Quick and simple KOG Report this week. Caution again on going long too high up as any movement like we’ve seen in the opposite direction will not give you time to manage your trades. Keep your lot sizes in check and make sure you're risk model is up to scratch. This is no normal market, we're in unprecedented times and markets reacting in extremes!
For this week, we’re looking at a potential stretch on gold so please be careful! These levels are to be tested, but one more little move to the upside to get the ideal entry would be perfect for us. So, we have the initial resistance right here on the close 2230-35, if held there is an opportunity to short the market back down into support regions 2310-05 which is where we want to see what happens and look for a potential RIP. A break here is what is needed for the price to continue downside, otherwise one more swing higher into the order region 2345-50 could be available which is where the ideal short may come from! Longs higher up are risky as the turn can be sudden and will leave traders left hanging a region where data is lacking, so caution please unless you’re scalping for quick captures from the intra-day levels we posts as well as the red boxes.
Use the levels on the chart and use the intra-day levels, don't marry the trade, don't marry the position. When you trade like this, it doesn't matter where the market goes, you trade it, take what it gives and come back again when your set up is right.
It’s really as simple as that this week, price goes up into our levels, we want to test the shorts, comes down we’ll either test the longs, or wait for the potential stretch and then short it from higher up.
KOGs bias for the week:
Bearish below 2350 with targets below 2310 and below that 2280
Bullish again on break of 2350 with targets above 2365 and above that 2372
Range in play – Support 2255 / Resistance 2372
