Hong Kong Stocks Post Five-Day Rout Hong Kong stocks ended lower on last Friday, extending the losing streak to a fifth session, as sentiment remained downbeat due to concerns over US-Sino trade tensions. The Hang Seng Index retreated 0.92%, or 176.60 points, to end the week at 19,064.29. Is the news helping?

waltzing within the boxPEPPERSTONE:HK50 timing markets is virtually impossible we don't have crystal ball🔮 and hence we don't predict or speculate. let's dance with the index From yesterday post, from the indicators we keep an eye to monitor as it may rebound... so is this the rebound ?(yes maybe short-term). A full reversal? again, we don't know! But, don't think so, always cross-check with broader tf - D Chart. It's still at bearish zone; oversold zone (continue to monitor....) From the 4H chart Both MACD & KDJ turned around giving reversal signs. MACD - although still below zero level but we can see the lines are curving up. KDJ - turned into bullish green zone, indicating uptrend signal. The 1H chart - the Index moving within the box. You may use BB indicator to get the range too.The previous range red box 19000 - 19200. Support : 19200 if breaks then next 18960) Resistance :19440 (if breaks then 19647, then 19945). For day trade: Same strategy, sell at resistance; buy/TP into support. Monitor the 1H,4H movement with confirmation using MACD & KDJ indicator. For swing trade : Set your tf, entry and exit plan. For slightly mid-long term trade (more than 9months - 36months++) : You may plan and DCA the Index. You may take a long position on HSI Tracker Fund 2800. HKEX:2800 The index is currently in a discount zone, check the historical price; there are ample of room to reach its ATH @33500. The law of attraction; we know that whatever bottom eventually rebound, it's the matter of time. DYODD. Plan your trade, do not listen to anyone including this post!

Are they waiting for the 2025-2026 budget speech in Feb; after CNY? News are distraction. If you are using chart pattern, technical analysis to forecast the price movement; stick to it! Although sometimes news can be catalyst to price movement, as long we stick to our plan and continue to practice and adhere to our own SOP, our trades will not go too far off. From D chart What we can see is the MACD,Signal is getting weak , histogram is weak the signal line is breakthrough the zero line. We should monitor close by end of today if it crosses down the zero line. Let's not go against the trend, trend is always our friend! ☺ However, for the index it seems currently is no trend...awkward. haha The 4h Chart - the pricing had turned bearish since 31/12/24 as marked (Dead Cross). Support : 19311 Resistance :20220 The 1H chart - the index dancing within the range bound as we noticed from chart.

2025 NewYear Party with severe Hangover again!PEPPERSTONE:HK50 Happy New Year everyone! 1h Chart From the chart we can see the 1h MACD forming Golden Cross on last 31/12/2024 0900; it was pumped to have a nice closure for 2024 and went for a heavy party. This morning, as we can see the hangover hits quite severely! The index plunged more than 500bps this morning. The MACD indicator now is forming Deadcross and in its bearish mode. The KDJ is also in its bearish zone. Today the index could find support at 19453 and resistance at 19753. D Chart Well, we wish we had a crystal ball. From the D chart, the MACD line crosses the Signal line forming a Deadcross. However, the Signal line is yet to cross below zero although the KDJ is already in its bearish zone. Do not be swayed by the news, stick to your plan and set your TP/SL. Do not anticipate and speculate how the markets move, we can only react with Buy,Hold or Sell. Let's monitor the movement and practice your zentrading strategy. Happy trading everyone! Wishing you the best coming to you this 2025! Let's continue 🧘‍♂️ Zen-ing with 📙 and 🍵.

POLKADOT- BUY HIGH, SELL HIGHERIn the midst of chaos, I've decided to increase my position in Polkadot, as I've been holding since $5.82. The structure continues to show bullish signals, and we’re still in a bull market. Moreover, the Christmas and New Year rally hasn’t even started yet. For traders feeling anxious right now, it's better to step away from the screen and avoid making impulsive decisions. For those focused on knowledge and strategy, there’s no better moment to consider opening a long position—fully aware of the possibility that your stop-loss might be hit. Trade Management: Entry: $7 or market price Stop-loss: $6.31 (keeping the previous position intact) Remember to control your emotions and avoid overtrading. Maintaining liquidity is crucial—don’t put all your capital at risk. Protect your psychology and trust your skills. Don’t let the market shake your confidence in what you know works. I’m sticking to my plan, as mentioned in my previous idea. Nothing changes if you follow your plan. May God bless you all. Jay

Too early to arrive at the party! Sharing my trading idea and experience for FX:HKG33 From previous post, the 1H chart has been bullish. I have taken the profit and thereafter trying to find re-entry position. However, without checking the shorter time frame 30m, 15m it turns bearish for the shorter time frame. Re-entered at 22500. As you can see from the chart. It's is a big Ouchhh! 😂 Well, was looking at the longer time frame of 4H chart & D chart showing the index continues to be bullish. (Question to myself: But on hindsight - isn't the longer tf chart based from the shorter tf movement?) Hmmmm.....well let's see. But this could cause the short position opportunities. Nonetheless, the party is there and I guess just have to wait little longer and hope it won't be too longer. This is going to eat into trading cost for the daily finance charge. :) Wish the party continue! (with the recent stimulus news and action) While waiting, let's zen with 📖 🍵 Good luck everyone!

Narrow Escape! Trust what you trust.FX:HKG33 Entered too early before the pullback. Has to hold over the trading closed day. Was intended to SL the positions if the downtrend continue. However, the market reopen with strong bullish volume. The short time frame (tf) turned uptrend and the index gap-up. However, the MACD + KDJ showing uptrend for 1H chart. Hence, decided to continued to hold the position. ∴ Continue bullish for HSI based on W chart and try to look at Long position for 1-3 weeks tf. This ain't a get-rich-quick scheme, folks.

Update on GBP/CAD utilizing FXCM chart instead of OandaI came across one of my GBP/CAD thoughts and and saw a pattern that was screaming at me. I don't think I saw the pattern on Oanda's charts because the data only goes back to 2003 on the Monthly Charts and on FXCM it goes back even further (1976). With his added data it is clear the price is showing an inverse head and shoulders, which adds to the probability of price pushing lower, maybe 1.40. So my conviction on this pair pushes even higher and I am highly likely going to get back into this pair with the NZD/USD. If I look at the technicals some more there are lower higher also that have happened. A high made in the 80's around 2.90, then another high in 98', around 2.67 (lower then the previous), and finally in sometime in 2015, around 2.10. A huge drop from 2.67. Price is also in a descending channel, which if price does push higher, can it really reach past the 2 lvl. Highly unlikely. Price since 2016 has attempted to push higher (which coincides with BREXIT) pushing above the 1.80 lvl in 2018, and retracing, and attempting to break the 1.80 lvl, only to fall back lower. Last year price came close to hitting 1.40 with the issues going on in the UK Government. If I am correct and price does push lower, the 1.40 will be a safe level to chose. Price could hit the 1.30 lvl. Another pair that is throwing me off though is the GBP/CHF. The pattern on the GBP/CHF is showing a strong descending wedge, which could spell out price pushing higher, and pretty significantly. The way I see this happening is if the BOE goes Super Sayian Blue Ultra Instinct and starts pushing rates up aggressively at 0.75% to 1% in succession. But this is highly unlikely as their economy walking a tight rope that has a cut in it. Additionally, it also might be a possibility if the BOE just keeps rates at 4%-5% throughout the possible recession. If so, this will line up with the BOE Governor saying that there may be the longest recession in history for the UK.

BTC TA - Bullish scenario 4h timeframeI opened a Long yesterday around at the 0.618 fib level. Let's see what will happen 🚀. Just remember: Stick to your plan and have a good risk management 👍 And that's the main reasons I decided to take a long on SOL : ► Confirmation of the retrace and breakout of the falling triangle (yellow lines) ► Retrace of the 0.618-0.65 fib level ► Bounce from the support line (blue) ► High risk reward ratio Trading setup: Entry: $29544 SL: Moved to breakeven ($29544) It was at $29200 TP1: $32100 (60%) TP2: Let it run till 40k area if this scenario plays out and move your SL above TP1 level ⚡Just to notice. We ar right now in a very volatile market phase in the crypto. Crazy and unpredictable things could happen. That's why you should use a stopp loss. ⚡ Disclaimer: DYOR. No financial advice.

The importance of sticking to the plan 👊👌As traders we are our own worst enemies! A common theory with trading is as follows. 10% is having a good strategy, 30% is having good risk management and the final 60% is psychology. If we as traders fail to address the final psychology part of the sentence above then we as traders will fail in the markets. The chart shown in this idea is EURGBP working the 30 minute time frame. The strategy is a rules based mechanical approach working a 1:1 RR to fixed stop loss and take profit targets. I know I have a proven edge with this strategy as with all my ideas the built strategy tester report is at the foot of this idea shows the strategies credentials. Position sizing is correct I trade this strategy on a stand alone account for this pair and I'm happy to risk 2% per trade of my capital from said account. So where does the psychology part come in to all this? The emojis on screen show the emotions I would of been feeling with this trade once upon a time! An emotional roller coaster! The chart shows three trades. A short which hit TP followed by a long which hit SL. Then the trade I'm using for this idea which lasted a full 13 days! But this is where sticking to the plan and the rules I set help remove that emotional roller coaster. Not sticking to that plan could of created many outcomes. I could of closed for less profit than intended as part of the plan or worse still could of cut my losses only for the trade to go on and hit TP target. The above would of then led to more emotions thus effecting my future trading decisions and choices. With each trade I enter I am comfortable with said outcome whatever that maybe. That comes from trading a proven strategy, having correct risk management and then by sticking to the rules of the trading plan for the strategy. Sticking to a plan removes any subjectivity and helps take care of the psychological side of trading. I even automate my strategies now and not checking trades every minute of the day has helped removed all those up and down feelings the emojis on the chart represent. I'll end with one final thought patience has to be part of your plan. The markets take from the impatient and give to the patient ones among us. ------------------------------------------ I try and share as many ideas as I can as and when I have time.

BORING But According To Plan - DT RECAP 04/23/20 (& Today's WL)Hi traders, Thursday was really boring for me since I'm still on my "recovery" plan I discussed in yesterday's recap. So I only trade the best shots and try to stay green at the end of each day albeit very little. Thursday could be a prime example of this approach. Just one, slow-moving trade that I had to get early from due to massive SPY spike down. Half a percent, but still up! Just one lonely trade: 1) NYSE:HAL - LONG @8.68, it lost steam and I exited prematurely when SPY dropped 4 points. +0.5% *In my ID trades, I risk 1% of the account per trade and go for 2% (2:1 RRR ). Sometimes I adapt a little bit as you can see in the trades' description.* Total PnL for the day: +0.5% Total PnL for the week: +2.94% Good trades, Tom | FINEIGHT
