Things have been a bit frantic since the last Blog post, both for myself and the markets! As well as speaking at the IX Investor Show<\/strong> and the Trading Symposium<\/strong> I have also finished the first draft of my up-coming book; “Candlestick Charts. An introduction to using candlestick charts”<\/strong>. I just hope there isn’t someone round at Harriman House right now pulling their hair out wondering how the heck they’re going to make it into a book!<\/p>\n

The events were well attended and both pulled in a crowd of around 200 people to listen to my ramblings on Candlesticks.<\/p>\n

Having spoken in front of these sort of numbers in seminars, surely today’s appearance on CNBC<\/strong> would be a walk in the park.<\/p>\n

But my first appearance on TV turned out to be a rather nerve-racking experience! Let’s hope that was just because it was the first time, and let’s hope they invite me back again.<\/p>\n

The other thing I hope is that the calls I made work out okay!<\/p>\n

In the Eurostoxx 50 Futures<\/strong> I (rather nervously, with a waver in my voice) said that last weeks break of 3387 spelt trouble, especially since this level turned resistance and capped upside subsequently. This is a key line in the sand and if we can retake this level the hounds can be called off. Otherwise things still look very bleak.<\/p>\n

In CME Group Wheat<\/strong> (still called CBOT Wheat by most people despite the recent merger) we’ve seen a failure at a key Fibonacci level (955) in recent days and this now looks set to head lower to retest the year’s low at 730 (trading 845 at the time of writing). I had managed to gather myself a bit by this time and was even starting to make some sense!.<\/p>\n

Finally I looked at the Eurex Bund <\/strong>(by this time I was breathing normally and everything) where the short term has been a tad messy, but the Medium Term outlook remains firmly skewed towards the Bears.<\/p>\n

Overall I think it went well, and I’m looking forward to the next time I get on there, and this time I’ll tell people beforehand. Today I was more than happy to keep it quiet!!!<\/p>\n

Here’s a link if you want to view it…<\/p>\n
