Corn : Taken Partial Profit @ 677

  • Short 3 units of CZ1 at 739 average.
  • Taken partial profit on 1 unit at at 677.
  • Expect some support at 668.75. Maybe wait to see reaction from there and then look to re-establish short during/after period of consolidation. 
  • Target 575.5 on weekly chart.

Hi Taichiseal,

How did you manage to hang on the S&P when it rocketed upward last week? (last week was like unbelieveable, all the bad news just evaporated. Now it just come out again ..lol). I would not be able to hold out like you. Last week rally killed alot of shorts.

Now i believe you are in the green? Since you shorted at 1192. :) Kudos.

Hi Kris

It's back to basics for me after a very bad August.

That means remembering that what has worked best for me in the past is - 1. trading long term chart patterns in small/optimal size so that I don't get shaken out by noise (such as last week's price action). 2. forget about trying to profit from short term non-trending opportunities.

I agree with you.

I don't really like it especially towards the market close (usually the last 1 hour around 3am APAC time), the market goes a different position than mine :(

Btw..what until what time at night do you watch the market??

I normally go to bed around 1 am. But my body is programmed to get up around 4 am for NY closing.
