UK Bullish - Validated trend lines?Hi, folk were too bearish hence my abandonment of my bearish scenario and placement of these bullish trend lines pre-US election. The push up seems to have put many traders onto the wrong side of the trade. These lines look valid, check out how they may be confirmed by the last few weeks of price action at the higher end of the channel. It's still looking bullish to me. There is always a potential for it to snap back I'm not expecting this (at least until March).Next event to trigger a move will be the EU Deal. This of course will be done but my expectations are: - Deal may keep UK in range if not further decline - No Deal potential to drive market to previous highs and beyond I'm not a fulltime trader and not in a informed position to be making calls about the UK market but been looking at charts long enough to read the markets.

ridethepig | FTSE Fundamental FlowsHere we are more or less back to square one as to where we were in July and testing away at the resistance. Buyers are showing a lack of tenacity! If after the Brexit fact (does not really matter if its a deal or hard brexit deal) we can see the possible outflow pressure really start to make itself felt. The strong counter here should immediately come under pressure with the initial loss of market access and broader global slowdown. Once again (and with slow and steady pace) start to build some sell side exposure, abandon the overweight UK equities position and employ the following manoeuvres. A test of the centre looks rolled up and ready to take. Make excellent use of the flow towards 5,600. Thanks as usual for keeping the feedback coming 👍 or 👎

UK - Alternative view to 4900: Ascending Channel upI think most are bearish following this descending channel. I had a previous target of 4900 which I hope for. Experimenting with an alternative as the market promises a decent upside. I have particular interest in this exact level: Hypothesis Investors are waiting for the Brexit outcome from the EU talks and US election which will weigh heavily on UK's fortunes. I'm expecting this point to hold to add weight to the being in a UKX larger ascending channel. - Is the ascending channel TA accurate - probably not but I want to at least identify a path upward.

This is what global indices are showing us : Part 1 In this part I have looked at the nasdaq, S&P 500, UK, EURO & GermanDAX. nasdaq is showing distribution signs after a parabolic move to all time highs. This is a clear sign of a sharp reversal in the coming weeks. S&P is seeming like a false breakout and/ or short squeeze on a very conveniently timed vaccine news. Euro, UK & GDAX are at very critical supply zones and it would make the most sense to turn downwards from here. However, a violation of these levels means bear thesis is probably off the table. I welcome all sorts of feedback ! thank you :)

+10% on the FTSE trade from last week, great moves ! UK100 OPEN TRADE IF FOLLOWING TREND BASED ON 1% RISK IS RUNNING + 10.4% OUR STRATEGY EXPLAINED: The entry price, SL and multiple TPs are shown on the chart. Our back testing and money management strategy itself is holding until a reverse signal to ride a big trend, but as you will not see the next signal - manage the trade as you wish should you decide to enter. What is our strategy? Our strategy is a trend following strategy, can be used on any instrument and time frame. However, we have hard coded specific parameters for when trading the H1 time frame, so we can back up over 4200 previous trades to confirm our edge from previous data. This gives us confidence in execution and belief in our trading strategy for the long term. The strategy simply sits in your trading view, so you will see exactly what we see - the trade, entry price, SL and multiple TPs (although we hold until opposite trade as this is the most profitable longer term plan), lot size, etc. This could be on your phone trading view app, or laptop of course. The hard work is done, so we have zero chart work time, no analysis, no time front of the chart doing technical analysis - technical analysis is very subjective - you may see different things at different times - how do you have a rigid trading plan on a H&S shoulder pattern? Your daily routine, diet, sleep, exercise can affect what you 'see' and your decision making, this doesn't happen when a strategy is coded like this; what we do have is a mechanical trading strategy... What does this mean? It means, we are very clear on our entry and our exit and use strict risk management (this is built in - put in your account size, set your risk in % or fixed amount and it will tell you what lot size to trade!) so we have no ego with our position and we are comfortable with all outcomes - its simply just another trade. This free's our mindset from worry and anxiety as we take confidence from knowing our edge is there and also that we have used sensible risk management. The strategy itself can be used as a live trading journal too - how cool is that? The strategy will confirm and support every open and closed position - so its quite easy to follow. We just have to do what Percy does. Please see our related ideas below for more information to explain what we do and how it can help you.
