Crypto Kong – Killing It On Cryptos And Weed

The purchase of both Bitcoin and Ethereum back on Sept 22nd has been incredible.

All about the same time most “financial gurus” where suggesting crypto currencies were finished – low and behold….a dip and only a dip as Bitcoin is set for higher highs….then higher highs again.

In Canada I use QuadrigaCX for my crypto trading and they are great.

I highly recommend starting an account as it only takes a minute / is so easy and connects directly to your bank account for deposits and withdrawals.

USD has floundered / not “crashed” to the degree that I imagined but…the trade there as well, having held for 3-4 weeks short = Killer.

Shall I go on?

How bout the Canadian Marijuana Stocks??

I bought Aurora at 2.15! ACB

I bought Canopy Growth at $7.50! WEED

And recently picked up THC BioMed ( a friends company in Canada ) at .40 cents. It was .99 cents yesterday!

You know I’ve got the newsletter, and you know how bullish I am on Canadian Marijuana companies. The last 6 weeks have been unreal, as I seriously doubt we will ever see these price levels again.

Jump on the mailer and you might just catch the next wave.

MAJOR TRADE ALERT! – U.S.D Bear Market Confirmed

The U.S Dollar has now confirmed what I’ve been suggesting for literally “years”.

The latest fall has USD generating “yet another” failed daily cycle, confirming that the United States Dollar is headed for the basement. Cryptocurrencies have now taken centre stage, along side The Euro, as the second most widely held reserve currency on the planet.

The U.S Dollar will be sold “even more aggressively” than in recent weeks / months and the trade is now “more than safe” to enter.

You get short USD – NOW…..and you stay that way until mid October. This is major, major, major serious news but not likely front and centre on your local news ( In the United States I wonder if it will be mentioned at all!) as you know my thoughts about that. We’ve only got one small support zone left to break, and it’s literally…..a loooooong way down after that.

USD - Bear Market Begins

USD – Bear Market Begins

Gold, Cryptocurrencies ( such as Bitcoin ) and The Euro will explode higher, as USD takes a serious nose dive over coming weeks. I’m even considering a target as low as the 85 area by mid October when “once again” the U.S Debt Ceiling is reached…then extended – as always!

We’ll get into specific trades here starting Monday, but in all…….( and I rarely say this in trading Forex ) this is going to be easy money / a very straight forward trade.

Get short USD now…..get long Gold, The EURO and most any cryptocurrency you can manage – then we’ll see how you feel come mid October.

Think about buying yourself some “weed” for more than a few reasons in wake of this USD Bear Market…now confirmed.

I am heavily immersed in the Canadian Marijuana biz ( more on that later ) and am currently spouting off everything I know – “and will know” as Canada moves towards federal legalization spring of 2018. Hit the newsletter sign up – you won’t be disappointed.

What If…..Kong Plays Devils Advocate

It never hurts to consider the “what if’s” – right?

Playing the devil’s advocate here, I fully understand the complete and total “retail euphoria” currently playing out in markets. Don’t get me wrong either….I’ve missed a couple trades here and there. Fair enough.

Shit happens.

Stepping back and taking a wider view…the SP 500 hasn’t “really” gone anywhere for a full month ( some 20 odd trading days ) as much as the general media hype would still have you think you’ve missed the boat.

“This” isn’t exactly what I call missing a large scale move:

SP 500 - 20 days flat

SP 500 – 20 days flat

Now the “what if”.

You all know I watch the Japanese Nikkei much closer than I generally do the SP so….

The weekly Nikkei is still suggestive of a considerable pullback on the horizon OR…..(and this is still quite possible) a major top / market reversal spanning several weeks.

Nikkei Looks Tough To Me

Nikkei Looks Tough To Me

There is tonnes of room below – on route towards both the 50 day MA as well the 200 ( and we all know I love that 200! ) but more than that…..the previous high back there in Nov/Dec has yet again proven to be a very strong area of resistance.

What if……the Nikkei does still lead? What if….this retail “blow up” turns dramatically dark / sinister on some kind of “nuke news” out of Korea? What if your newly financed car ends up back on the lot since you recently dumped your life savings into the market?

Personally…..and I’ll say it again….I don’t like it.

I’m looking for a good reason to jump off the fence so….. your comments and opinions more than welcome.

If it’s all just rainbows and butterflies…..why am I not buying stocks?

 

 

 

USD Update – Pot Stocks As Well

For those of you who’ve so “intelligently subscribed” to “Kong’s Pot Stock Watch” – I commend you.

Aurora Cannabis has shot up some 15-20% ( don’t quote me here ) over recent days…and is holding / looking good! I’m well into it / averaged in around 2.25 and Canada is still on track to get this stuff legal in coming months. The trade alert come out over the weekend….so don’t be a fool. Get signed up and catch the next one.

In other news…

The U.S Dollar is a dog. You know my longer term thoughts / views on the money printing and the chaos that will one day ensue. Regardless….still looking for a near term bottom here ( as seen in previous charts of USD/CAD ) and a likely move to the upside.

Today we see a “swing low” on day 17-18 of the daily cycle so…..don’t get out the red panties but I assume USD will take a bounce here.

That’s it – I gotta run. It’s summer and I’m busy doing things that make sense….not staring at charts / watching paint dry, but don’t think for a minute I’ve taken my eye off the ball.

I know everything. I see everything. I am thousands of years old……

I just can’t remember most it.

Trading Patience – Summer Doldrums Almost Over

Anyone who hasn’t already learned their lesson “this summer” can simply file it away for next year. You’ve learned something right? You’ve learned that you just can’t “make” markets move…no matter how badly you are scratching to hit those buttons! Markets suck during the summer, and I don’t care what anyone else has to say about. I know. I continue to survive – picking my shots when most likely to see reward….staying out of trouble when volume is low.

Summer is no time for big moves / big trades or big expectations. Take it. Learn from it…and consider yourself a better trader.Done deal.

Looking ahead….as much as it pains me to admit it…..this thing continues to pull in retailers at an incredible clip, and has every likelihood of blowing expectations “TO THE UPSIDE”.

All the pieces are in place really….as I receive more and more inquiries from old friends across the planet asking me for investment assistance “scared shitless” that they’re gonna miss out – as their broker just called with another hot deal.

All the makings of one incredible “blow off top / blast for the stars rip” as the last of the retail gang get’s off the couch with their 2k nest eggs. Sad in a sense as……these poor folk are very often buying the top and unable to act quickly enough to book profits before the fall. Seeing it s many times in the past…..it’s a cycle and it ALWAYS repeats.

I got bumped ( obviously ) on the last lil trade with The U.S Dollar ‘s continued fall. Certainly didn’t expect another daily cycle down, but that should be the last before both USD and U.S Stocks pop to the upside.

Charts? I got nothin……short of wishing I could chart my continued boredom / lack of participation vs some idiot out there pushing buttons all summer. Profits dick-head? I think not.

I will plow you in the face – the next dumb ass giving me a hard time in the comments section believe me. I’ve gotten on planes to “make things right” for a lot less.

Cool your jets kiddies….I’m back, and will be lighting it up again here shortly.

Chill.

 

 

 

 

Dollar Finally Bottoms – Flip A Coin On Stocks

Well well well…..it looks as though USD has finally, FINALLY found its bottom.

I can pull out a number of fantastic correlations / trades in the currency market ‘specific to USD’ but at this point in time…..the general market movement / usual correlations will be saved for another day – as we’ve all seen a number of these fall apart as of late.

Gold has fallen consistently “with” USD which in most cases makes no sense, tech stocks have been clobbered and considering the buoyancy in markets in general….have NOT been actively participating.

EUR/USD pretty straight forward here: SAFE TO SHORT

safe to short EUR

                                                                                  safe to short EUR

Markets continue to trade in “good ol summer fashion” leaving most traders scratching their heads looking for direction.

It’s nuts out there! You know it, I know it.

You’d think an intermediate bottom in USD would send Gold decidedly lower…but even there….gold has landed near an area of support so…..we’ve got some “rotation” going here, and need to take the time to figure out –  WHERE IS THE MONEY GOING NEXT?

Risk trade in AUD/JPY would appear to have hit resistance but…..nothing to write home about.

Risk Trade in AUD/JPY

                                                                                Risk Trade in AUD/JPY

It “almost looks to me” like a bottom in USD might amount to more U.S stocks being sold, and in turn US dollar reserves moving higher, while gold stays flat but….that’s pure speculation.

We need another day er two to see how things unfold from here. I’m short EUR/USD – and that’s it!

 

 

 

EUR/USD Chart – Gold Chart – USD Chart

Personally….I rarely look at this pair as any, “ANY indication” of larger market moves or global appetite for risk as – these are they two most widely held reserve type currencies on the planet, and their comparable  movement does nothing for me / my analysis or for the most part….my account.

Regardless….

The general “forex media / forex industry” promotes the trading of this pair like there’s no tomorrow, and new traders tend to love it. Don’t ask me why. Well ok ask me why…..cuz they don’t know anything about forex before they start trading it!

So if the coming move in forex markets “in general” can be at all illustrated for you “new comers” via this pair – take a look at the weekly chart of EUR/USD:

Resistance Ahead For EUR

Resistance Ahead For EUR

See that big red candle back near the first part of October? The one with the tall “wick” on it? High of 1.1305? Then looking back…..see the confluence area surrounding this price level “rough and nasty”?

Great.

Now check Gold:

Resistance For Gold

Resistance For Gold

Now USD:

Support For USD

Support For USD

These are the kinds of “large time frame” areas of support and resistance where you can start considering some “serious” trading . Not getting bogged down in the short-term flutters, if you can just manage to keep your friggin hands off the mouse for a day er two!

Not much more to be said here. You know what I’m getting at as this trade is getting very close.

It’s the “knowing ahead of time” and the “recognition” that these levels and correlations exist that will elevate your short term trading as you should “already know” the levels to watch for reversal. THEN pop down to your 1H charts and plot your entry.

Eur set to top. Gold set to top. USD set to bottom for a solid “medium term trade” so……start eyeing these charts for their reversal on the 1H at the bare minimum before even considering entry.

You owe me big time.

 

Kong Back In Cash – Markets Going Nowhere

As per my previous post – I have absolutely “zero expectations” for the next few weeks / months of trading.

I’ve seen this kind of market activity many, many times in the past. Dead money just sitting there doing nothing. Staring at it……not the way I choose to spend my days. Now, there is always the possibility that things may change…some major news event, or large-scale geo political scenario where markets react but seriously……in the current environment, the “Trump environment”?? One can only assume something impactful leading to further “downside” if anything.

This “summer thing” is for real, and rightfully so. People are out throwing frisbee’s with the dog – not hunkered down in some dingy basement pouring over charts.

Best recommendation I can make for trigger happy traders –  keep a close watch for news / anything that “might” provide opportunity to move the needle but otherwise..take this down time to do two things:

  1. Practice your entries on a one hour chart.
  2. Continue study on “macro markets” as opposed to “day to day activity” in a single market.

The one hour chart is where I generally make my entries “after” I’ve established a reasonable area of both “price and time” to do so. This generally dictated by daily cycle counts.

Getting a handle on “how this entire thing works” is extremely valuable. Once you’ve included Japan in your analysis, currencies and their roles on a global perspective “and” the relationship with bonds / stock prices and gold. You’ve got a very good platform to form your trade analysis.

If you only approach this as a technical exercise ( trading that is ) …..unfortunately you’ll struggle longer term.

I’m cashed out, short of small holdings in ACB ( Aurora Cannabis ) having blasted out my few “USD long trades” entered some days ago –  flat / break even / boring as hell / stuck in the mud.

I don’t waste time on this, when markets go on holidays.

Curb Your Expectations – Summer Has Arrived

I’ll make this short and sweet.

Just because you’ve got your fancy new monitors set up, and all your charts / bells / whistles / lights ‘a flashing – doesn’t mean you’re gonna find a trade. Human nature would have it that you “expect” amazing things to happen. You’ve got all the tools, you’ve even gone a little overboard on that “extra screen” and you’re hell-bent on sitting down every morning at your trade terminal, and conquering the world.

Sorry buddy…ain’t gonna happen.

I can’t tell you how many times in the distant past I was 100% completely “jacked” to jump on into markets based on some over night news release, or some new article I’d found. Like a kid on Christmas morning I’d be up well before the crack of dawn, hardly able to contain myself sitting there in dark waiting……waiting…waiting for that opening bell.

Then summer came along and spoiled the party.

Hours on end sitting there staring at charts now frozen. Pacing the floor in anticipation of “hitting my exit” only to find the trade moving sideways for days……then days ‘n days more. Finally one year it got so bad that I almost gave up. I just couldn’t understand. There it all was right in front of my face…lights flashing, news running, bing bing – bam bam! Let’s do this!!

ZZZ zzzz zzzz…….zip…nada..zero – nothin.

You can’t make markets move, and as much as it’s a difficult thing to do when you’re just so excited to just get in there and kick ass…you’ve got to understand.

There is a time to step on the gas, and there are times to pump the brakes. Summer has arrived baby.

Get ready for whole lot o’ nothin.

Looking To Buy Volatility – Volatility Has Crashed

Market euphoria has now lead to a complete and total collapse in volatility.

Volatility rises when people get scared. No one appears to be very scared as volatility is now at an “all time low” ( obviously correlation with markets being near all time highs ) – Get it?

Isn’t this about the time one starts thinking…hmmm….no one is scared, volatility at all time low, markets at all time highs….hmmm…..thinking, thinking….hey! Let’s start looking at buying some volatility around here!

Volatility Has Crashed

One can only assume we are getting very close to a reasonable bounce in volatility as – markets never change. Just when you think it’s safe…..boom – things head in the opposite direction.

Watch that Nikkei. Watch that AUD/JPY as well USD/JPY and add volatility to your short list ’round these levels.

A lil bit of UVXY here over coming days? I like it.
