ES - We broke out of the lower trendline last week.  If we can re-test the bottom, we may have a good entry for a fall.  I estimate the lower trendline to be around 890.  In the levels below, we have some confluence around 892.75.  Lucky us!  However, the market may be too weak and only reach 887.75 before continuing the fall (see levels below).

 

 

6E - The Euro was hit hard on Friday and seems to be continuing downward (as I type this), however, I am cautious around these levels it is coming upon.  1.3340 and/or 1.3305 may hinder the fall.  Not to mention the levels in my homework below.  The more I study the Euro, the more I like it!  It seems to behave very well to these major levels and, in particular, levels I can generate on the fly on lower timeframes for more precise entries.

UPDATE - 12:08 CST: Homework updated with more accurate intra-day pivots. It's a bit after the fact, but selecting the correct daily and intra-day pivots (that get fed into the homework script) are critical.  The new levels line up SO much better with today's action.  A single tick difference from a major turning point in some cases.

Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results. The risk of loss in trading commodities can be substantial. You should therefore carefully consider whether such trading is suitable for you in light of your financial condition.  
 
In considering whether to trade or to authorize someone else to trade for you, you should be aware of the following:
  • If you purchase a commodity option, you may sustain a total loss of the premium and of all transaction costs.
  • If you purchase or sell a commodity future or sell a commodity option, you may sustain a total loss of the initial margin funds and any additional funds that you deposit with your broker to establish or maintain your position.
  • If the market moves against your position, you may be called upon by your broker to deposit a substantial amount of additional margin funds, on short notice, in order to maintain your position.
  • If you do not provide the requested funds within the prescribed time, your position may be liquidated at a loss, and you will be liable for any resulting deficit in your account.
  • Under certain market conditions, you may find it difficult or impossible to liquidate a position. This can occur, for example, when the market makes a "limit move".
  • The placement of contingent orders by you or your trading advisor, such as a "stop-loss" or "stop-limit" order, will not necessarily limit your losses to the intended amounts, since market conditions may make it impossible to execute such orders.
  • The high degree of leverage that is often obtainable in commodity trading can work against you as well as for you. The use of leverage can lead to large losses as well as gains. This brief statement cannot disclose all the risks and other significant aspects of the commodity markets. Before you trade you should inquire about any rules relevant to your particular contemplated transactions and ask the firm with which you intend to trade for details about the types of redress available in both your local and other relevant jurisdictions.
