23/12/2012 ; FCPO 60 min chart ; 2409 ; BULLISH. This week ended up 100 pts after opening gap-up also 100 pts ( coincidence?) Monday, then consolidated mid-week but recorded a higher high and a higher low. Ended the week with a positive note forming a 'rising wedge' chart-pattern after making a 'reversal divergence' earlier. BULLISH as long price is within the wedge. BEARISH if breaks downwards.

3/9/2012; FCPO -3073; BULLISH; Fcpo opened  gap-up today & broke above the 'bearish pennant' and continue to close near the highs of the day. From a pennant it now formed a 'bearish flag'.

Prices are now at a 'neutral' position, in between the moving averages. It now formed a 'bearish pennant' which usually breaks down. If price breaks down its bearish. If breaks up, its bullish. In the meantime soybean oil is also consolidating. 

15/8/2012 ; FCPO 2862 ; SIDEWAYS to downside biased. Fcpo sideways the last 3 trading days with not much movement forming a 'pennant' within a bigger 'BULLISH FLAG'. Not much excitement is expected in the coming days ahead of an extended weekend due to public holidays where FCPO is expected to find a neutral point to park. Bullish if breakout upwards from the pennant. Bearish if breakdown. 

8/8/2012 ; FCPO 2864 ; Turned bearish. Breakdown from the falling wedge and back into the bigger bullish flag formation.The breakup from the falling wedge didn't materialize.  Next support will be the critical 2840 level. If that is breached more bearish momentum is expected. Meanwhile the reversal divergence still persist which suggests that some upside correction is expected.

8/8/2012 ; FCPO 2907 ; SIDEWAY  still. From a pennant now formed a falling wedge which has to breakout. If breakout upwards it's bullish. If breakout downwards it's bearish. Meanwhile in the 60min chart formed a reversal divergence.

4/8/2012 ; 2918 ; Sideways still. Not much movement for the last 2 weeks. From a falling wedge, turned to a rising wedge. Now forming a pennant which is a confirmed sideway pattern until it breaks out. Bullish if break upwards and bearish if it breaks downwards.

29/7/2010 : FCPO; 2927. Formed a 'falling wedge'. Bearish  as long price in the falling wedge. Bullish if break up out of wedge. Very bearish if break down. Meantime last friday's movement has  formed a 'reversal divergence'. 

10/5/2012 ; 3349 ; SIDEWAY ; closed up 6 points with no clear direction whatsoever. Formed a reshaped pennant from yesterday's pattern. Sideways if price is within pennant, bullish if break up, bearish if break down.

9/5/2012 ; 3335 ; BEARISH STILL - FCPO  unable to continue bullish momentum even though break up from the bullish flag. Instead it formed a pennant and it broke down before closing today due to weakness in  fundamentals and commodities.

1/5/2012 ; 3471 ; SIDEWAY STILL

FCPO is in sideway mode confirming the formation of a 'pennant' from a 'bearsh flag' earlier. It will stay sideways until it breaks out. If it breaks out above it's bullish. If it breaks out below it's bearish.

30/4/2012 ; 15min chart ; stopped out at 3495.

25/4/2012; 60 min chart; 3511 -BULLISH

Bullish? yes - but not out of the woods yet until market closes above 3523. FCPO broke out above the 'falling wedge' near closing today and closed at the highs of the day. Still lower than monday's high of 3523 which until then, market may not confirm yet that its bullish ( correction over ). It's now within the 'bearish flag' and as long it's within it, it is bullish. If breakdown, it is bearish. If break up, it is strong.

24/4/2012 ; 60min chart ; 3463 ; SIDEWAY

Nothing much I can do for now. Since I was stopped out, I'm staying aside for the moment until clearer directions are given. I am not even sure which formation the market is going to follow, the 'falling wedge or the 'bearish flag'.

23/2/2012 ; 15 min chart ; 3475 . SIDEWAY TO LOWER

I was stopped out again this time at 3499 when 15 min chart gave a sell signal. FCPO went sideway to lower after opening higher but lost the upward momentum and closed near the lows of the day. I guess correction is not over yet until it closed above yesterday's closing.

21/4/2012 ; 15 min chart ; 3500 ; BULLISH

Correction over? Seems market correction is over due to 50 points push up during last 30 min before Friday's closing. Market is bullish after a week of pull-back. I even had the opportunity to add another long position when it broke-up from the wedge.

19/4/2012; 60 min chart ; 3477 - A typical whipsaw day for a trader.

A typical day of reversals as a result of trying to catch the bottom of a market! From a long, reversed to short, then reversed back to long. I guess this is what real trading feels like.

19/4/2012 ; 60 min chart ; 3479 ; Sideway to higher.

Consolidation phase ; market made some correction this week after surging quite strongly the week before. It has formed a ' bearish flag' which if the price is within the flag, it's bullish. If it breaks down, it's bearish. If it breaks up, it's strong.

16/4/2012 ; 3510 ; BEARISH.

I was stopped out last Friday when it broke down the major support line after quite some time in the market [ since 23/3/2012 ]. It also crossed over below all moving averages. For now it's not sure whether it's going to do a reversal or just a major correction. Maybe today it will confirm the next market direction.

13/4/2012 ; 15 min chart ;Stopped out - 3548

11/4/2012 ; 60 min chart ; 3621; Bullish - still holding longs.

FCPO made some correction the last 2 trading days but recovered all the losses and in-fact made a new high in the process. It 'broke down' the 'rising wedge' formation monday 2nd session but recovered and recorded a new higher high tuesday 2nd session. It now formed a 'bearish flag' which if the price is still within the flag, it's bullish. If it breaks down, it's bearish.

9/4/2012 ; Soyabean oil daily chart ; 56.94

Soybean oil made a new high this morning, in fact it broke above the 'rising wedge' formation indicating signs of a renewed strength in price movement.
