Covid becomes our friend - 2021 wrap upDear all,
It's time to wrap up 2021 and outline what has happened based on an analysis of S&P500 as a major index.
At first glance (and as the title suggests) covid stayed with us throughout the whole year causing volatility in the market. Average correction caused by C19 and its new variants equaled 4.95%, with the biggest decrease of 5.7% caused by the Delta strain. Overall the S&P500 returned close to 30% which taking all the worrying events into account gives an excellent result. When it comes to non-C19 events, Evergrande problem
Now, as we less outlined major events of 2021 (regarding us500) let's cover a short prediction of what may/ may not happen in 2022. Without any doubt, 2022 will be exceptionally interesting. Firstly, we will experience already announced tapering, which is supposed to end by summer 2022. Secondly, the current (i.e. 4th) wave of C19 caused by the Omicron variant is widely believed to be the last one as the kids have been infected. Moreover, at the beginning of 2022 (what we can already see) 3 billion people are said to be infected including many. This fact may suggest a pullback from record highs and more corrections caused by C19. However, on the other hand, as a vast number of people will get infected, they will build global resistance and thus a bad environment for C19 to develop new variants, not to mention medicines produced by Pfizer, etc. Worth mention is also rising tension between Russia and Ukraine, where the former one is expected to attract Jan/Feb. These possible initial events will shed a light on the rest of the year. Diversification and liquidity (including differentiation) seem to be the key to uncertainty and thus volatility on the market in 2022.

GBP USD Setup - 23-08-2021Hi traders,
As per the 4hr chart GU is showing downward trend and the hourly chart is also indicating the same.
In the 30 Min chart price is in a retracement phase breaking the 23.6 retracement level, So we have marked the Golden zone.
Since the higher time frames are in an extension, we have marked the recent lows for a breakout trade.

Daytrading Summary 04/06/20 - 4 Trades and +2.34%!Hi traders,
Let's do a daily recap!
In my ID trades, I risk 1% of the account per trade and go for 2% (2:1 RRR)
.
Sometimes I adapt a little bit as you can see in the graphs.
I had 4 trades, 2 winners and 2 losers . If I were to point out the least interesting it would be the W short. I had literally zero emotions towards that trade. It was going to either drop dead and make some fast profit or fail, which it did. No problem, move on...
My "Italian marriage", however, was definitely EBAY. I was staring at the screen watching all the stocks (previously weaker) grow steadily, while EBAY was just stuck. In the end, however, I got paid a little extra for my troubles and ended Monday in solid green.
How was your Monday?
Please let me know if you'd enjoy this format from now on as well!
Good trades,
Tom from FINEIGHT

Our daily market summary is now available (for free, no registration or credit card required).
As can be seen from the chart levels, our trading plans published this morning have done very well (will be publishing the detailed results later).
THE GIST (“THE WHAT”)
The S&P 500 index extended gains for the fifth straight session in today’s shortened trading session ahead of the July 4th holiday. Weaker-than-expected economic data revived expectations of a Fed rate cut, sending Treasury yields to their near 2-year lows. High-dividend paying stocks extended their previous session’s solid gains to lead the index higher to hit a yet another record daily close for the third straight session at 2995.82, up 22.81 points and gaining 0.77% over previous session’s close.
