... frustratingly, the silver shortsetup did not work out - two losses in a row in silver. Bitcoin I'd trade with an SL that, if hit, would wipe out 0.5% of my equity. Despite Buffett's warning, it looks so great from a pure trendfollower's perspective. I'd now go long with the stop loss...

GBPUSD has reached the profittarget of 1.3100 .

... SL would have been triggered in the silver long setup. It now is actually a short setup ! I'm late, should have posted it when the first bar closed below EMA34 (see chart). I'd go short now with a 80 cent SL above entry, 210 cents profittarget below entry. Silver now trades around 23.33 .

Silver exploded in the last week(s), now trades @ around 24.19 . It may continue it's upward trend after some crazy recent volatility. I'd be a buyer here with the stop loss placed at around 23.30 US$ . Profittarget would be 27.00 US$.

Update on the setups I posted . The Bitcoin short would not have worked out - the stop loss would have been triggered. From a pure trendfollower's perspective, BTCUSD is now actually a longcandidate (10,600 US as of now) - but I have Warren Buffett's harsh verdict in my ears, would not go long...

Olive1989, ever thought about using Schwab in the US ? They offer an index fund on the S&P 500 with a superlow 0.02% expense ratio ! https://www.morningstar.com/funds/xnas/swppx/price

I'm not satisfied with the way € / JPY has developed, would close this long position with a slight loss (it now trades 123.092) - and switch back to a long position in € vs NZD (EURNZD), NZD is sometimes called kiwi. Why ? Strong chart on weekly, bar just "creeped" above the EMA34 and I think...

EUR vs JPY (EURJPY), this I believe is a clear longsetup, but the holding period may be long as I think it could advance to 132.00 or even higher. It as of now trades @ 123.58, I'd place the SL a full 260 pips below entry at around 121.00 .

The long setup in the DAX/GER30 did not work out, SL would have been triggered.

And the winner is EURNZD, profittarget 1.7500 was reached for a 2R winner in this pair. Every trader's dream - fast movement in a clear direction.

.... EURNZD now trades @ 1.7463 ! I'd move the SL to breakeven (the bid/ask spread should be included, as it is quite wide in this pair), hope we'll see 1.75 .

This may be a strong long setup, I see the FX pair € vs NZD possibly advancing to 1.75, currently trades @ around 1.74 . SL I would place 50 pips below entry. A potential 2R winner.

I'd now place a long bet on my native german DAX/GER30 index, it now trades @ 13,165 points. SL 230 points below entry (at around 12,930 points), profittarget 13,800 points .

FX pair USDCAD now trades @ 1.3462 ... looks to me as if it may go straight down to 1.3000 now, I don't think it'll see 1.3600 again but of course can't say so for sure !

For a trendfollower, oil is now a clear candidate for a long trade, but I'd choose a wide stop loss (3 US$ below my entry), on the upside I now see a price of 52 US$ or even higher. It as of now trades @ 43.97 (OIL_BRENT on tradingview).

GBPUSD short did not work out, would close it at a loss ! It now trades at around 1.2690. To me it now looks as if a valid uptrend has been established, I'd go long with a wide stop loss of a full 200 pips (around 1.2490 would be the exit level) and profittarget around 1.3100. "Only" a 2R trade...

Natural Gas may reach the profit target, I'd now pull the stop loss in this short position to breakeven (1.79) .

I'd give Oil (Brent) another shot, currently trades @ 42.98 and I'd initiate a short position now, SL @ 43.25, TP @ 42.05 .

May this be a long term downward trend in the currency pair GBPUSD ? Nobody knows, of course, but I think it'd be worth a short position. I'd initiate a short position with the Stop loss 120 pips above my entrylevel. The currency markets are closed as of now, but the pair might open around...

I'd now close the EUR CAD long position, a 4R winner. Current price 1.5500 . The short position in Oil I'd now close at a slight loss, doesn't look anymore as it'd break out on the downside anymore.
