FCPO- No Straight Line Here
Market is full of surprises, at least for my case. There is no telling whenever the trend is coming or it doesn't at all. I am talking about the recent weekly upside break out on FCPO April which made the price break above from previous high at 2,384 level. According to most text book or trend trading manual so to speak, most of these medium term to long term trader would to place their bet if the price manage to break out from certain high. I believe previous Friday break out was at least one week high and those who was targeted to go Long on the next break out would likely went in to Long position. Unfortunately, these types of trade only bring out small percentage of winning ratio. Most of these kind of break out does not rally to the next significant resistance level, example for this case, 2,400 point. What we have now is a heavy profit taking, retracement or whatever you can call it. The fact is, all of the gain made last week was wipe out in a few hours when the April contract strike down to 2,298. It is futile to find out what happen in the background of that drop because market is always evolve and changing. What we can do now, would be charter our next direction, do we bet all out on this retracement or do we wait for further rally to go Long / Short. The best thing to do now will be setting your position to Long at the previous Friday low around 2,300, placing tight stop loss and wait for the market to rally the next hour and eventually hitting the previous high if lucky. If unlucky, we might just cutting loss on a small margin. Vice versa if the market is going up, resistance is pegged around 2,348 for the moment. Set your Short position around that resistance area, place tight stop when your Short position filled and wait. Just wait until your stop hit or hold overnight if the market is favoring you. That was part of the game plan if you wish to trade in this temporary ranging market.
