Continuation Trades

Recommended Posts

What are the pattern(s) we should be looking for to take a continuation trade? I know you mentioned that a continuation trade occurs - for example a buy - when there has been a large histogram on the V94 window, which is positive as price moves up, then on the retracement we want to see the histogram go to zero or only slightly negative. I was looking for this today on the ES, but wasn't sure how to integrate the multiple timeframes with this. Also, if one waits for the histogram to turn from moving in a negative direction to moving in a positive direction, one can be about 3 bars late from the actual turning point. How can we position ourself for a more timely entry? Thanks.

 

Mead,

 

Thanks for the query.

 

Most users of the TPS Indicator Pack look to make 3 kinds of trades - Reversal, Confirmation and Continuation.

 

Regardless of time frame, continuation trades look to take advantage of a trend. Using the indicator pack there are several indicatons both from price and from V94 and NNT.

 

The first indication of a trend is continuing Lower Lows or Higher Highs in both price and the indicators. Depending on the setting the price chart will indicate trend from either price and the center strip MA or from the RDot Pivots. Higher High Pivots as well as Higher Low Pivots along with higher changes from Red to Blue in the center stripe dots indicate an up trend in price.

 

As you will see in teh charts below, the V94Window indicates trend three different ways:

 

  1. V94Window indicates an up trend with a very small departure below zero after a much bigger excursion above zero

  2. V94Windo can also indicate trend with a series of readings, all of which are either above or below zero as shown below

  3. V94 can also indicate trend with a series of wither Higher Highs or Lower Lows

 

The Net New Trade indicator indicates trend with either a series of Higher Highs or Lower Lows or a continuous, steep, run.

 

If you are reading these indications of trend in the higher time frames you can get a more timely entry, so you will not be "3 bars late" by looking at the fastest time frame.

 

This first Chart shows continuation in an up trend via very small departures below zero in V94 and well as continuous higher highs and higher lows in both Net New Trade, Price and in Price Pivots:

It seems like this charts are good in hindsight.

 

Sometimes they even offer foresight as in the chart directly above - note how the spike foretells the extreme and the divergence confirms it.

    • Date: 28th March 2024. The US Dollar Strengthens As Economists Believe The ECB Will Struggle To “Hold”. Early this morning, the Fed Governor advised “there is no rush to cut rates” and “the data within the upcoming months” will be vital. The US Dollar Index rises to a 1-month high. The value of the USD will largely be based on today’s data on economic growth, consumer sentiment and pending home sales. Dollar and index traders are closely monitoring tomorrow’s Core PCE Price Index which analysts expect will read 0.3%. A higher inflation reading can potentially pressure stocks and support the Dollar. Strong declines in NVIDIA and Netflix stocks pressured the NASDAQ on Wednesday. Though, buyers entered late in the session to boost the overall price. EURUSD The latest comments from members of the Federal Reserve are supporting the US Dollar. The forward guidance between members of the Federal Reserve is mainly not aligned. The Chairman advises the Fed does not need much more proof for the regulator to feel comfortable reducing rates. Whereas the Fed Governor, Mr Waller, advises there is no rush, and he wants to see a few months of data before determining the next move. Therefore, the upcoming inflation and employment data will remain vital and could even push back rate hikes further. According to economists, the Federal Reserve will cut the interest rate on 3 occasions this year, but the timing of the first cut is less certain and may change depending on upcoming data. A positive factor for traders is that EURUSD exchange is not witnessing conflicting currencies. The US Dollar is trading 0.12% higher while the Euro is declining against most currencies. The Euro is trading 0.06% lower against the Pound and the Canadian Dollar and 0.16% lower against the Japanese Yen. Yesterday, the head of the Bank of Italy, Mr Cipollone, said that the authorities were confident that inflation would return to the target of 2.0% by mid–2025. He also supports the lower of interest rate and will use this as a basis for adjusting monetary policy. The Euro is generally under pressure as investors believe the European Central Bank will struggle to avoid cuts if the Fed decide to delay their adjustments. The US Dollar will be influenced by four major economic data releases. The US Final GDP, Weekly Unemployment Claims, Pending Home Sales and Consumer Sentiment Index. If these read higher than expectations with the weekly unemployment claims dropping, the US Dollar is likely to witness further support. However, investors should note the main release will be tomorrow’s Core PCE Price Index. Traders are expecting no major news for Europe and volatility levels may fall tomorrow as European markets are closed for Easter. Technical analysis currently points towards a continued downward trend. The price is trading below the neutral on the RSI and below the 75-Bar EMA. However, investors should note this will also be dependent on upcoming US data. USA100 The price of the USA100 was under pressure throughout the whole US session but was saved by an increased volume of buyers late in the session. However, a positive point is the components held onto their value. Even though the index fell in value, only 28% of the components declined. Investors will now turn their attention towards tomorrow’s PCE Price Index and the upcoming earnings season which will start in mid-April. The price is now trading slightly above the Moving Averages but slightly below the 50.00 on the RSI. Therefore, technical analysis remains at the “neutral” level and continues to indicate a larger price range. If today’s economic data is positive the stock market can witness confidence and support as this continues to indicate a soft landing. Though, if the data is too strong, it could also trigger a hawkish Fed which is known to be negative for the USA100. Always trade with strict risk management.
