Key supports in action


Hello,

finally stock markets are on key supports. And therefore stock market action is so choppy. Up, Down. No trend.

This week also will be FED decision on Tuesday and holiday in US on Friday.

So I am in very conservative mode now and I do not want to do a lot of trades right now. New short term trend has to start again.

As market consolidate near bottoms of last 4 week action, I think that new downtrend move will come soon. Then it will be good to enter shorts.

Till that time I will be mostly in cash.  One hedge fond manager I know says: "Cash is also position."

Happy trading,

Richard


Trader and analyst - do you cover both personalities ?

Every retail trader has to be 2 persons in one. An analysts who is preparing trade setups and trader who is actively acting on stock market.

It is not easy to work as 2 persons. I found that when I set my daily schedule, it helped me to handle this situation.  My current daily schedule I published on my web pages
