FCPO- No Clear Direction
There was no clear cut direction for the moment trading in FCPO market. None, not even a 100 points rally or retracement. The downside about trend trading would be its slow to re-act as most trend following system only went in to the market when a trend is already established few session ago. But ironically, that slowness of re-action is trend following is crucial to filter out most fake outs trend before that rally or retracement can confirm as a uptrend or down trend. If you think this would in time turn out to be an advantage or a better system, think again. Every trend trader will have certain entry and exit rules depends on their system, and if market only move within a certain points range, that trend trader will be scratching his head as most of the position will turn out to be a stop losses, break even or worst whipsawed. No system can be perfect, it is the trader job to implement risk management that will work along with the system, maybe the profit and losses expectation will deviate from the system testing environment but that is something we need to deal with and not to discard it. Back to palm oil outlook, palm oil benchmark Feb is making U turn recovery after it break below 2,196~2,193 major support level, this level was also a break down after a significant congestion area. I bet most of the break out trader would Short around that level too. If you look at the hourly chart, there is no conviction or promising sign for this recovery either. The Feb contract need to breach above 2,150 level and keep going for another 40 points to shine out as a strong rally this year. Other than that, the Feb contract is likely to hover within 2,180~2,286 level until the end of year.
