Index Futures Week 7

Recommended Posts

Seeing alot of activity and popularity in the Forex forum I decided to do a similar thread starting with Week #7 for the emini futures.

 

I want to begin with the YM starting from a daily chart. On the daily, we are still in a uptrend but the steam is clearly running out. We are still respecting the trendline and the 12600 level will be extra key.

What concerns me is the decreasing volume on the past couple rallies. We are seeing more volume on the sell-offs. This is a warning signal.

 

The chart below is a 30min YM chart. We did see a nice double top around the 12730 level. Friday met resistance at a key level of 12700, also a gap fill from 2/7/07.

A couple of levels I will be looking for from Fridays sell-off. The chart below shows the fib retracement levels. 12633 shows the 50% retracement and 12648 shows the 61.8% retracement.

Also want to point out a few VPOC from a market profile chart. These areas will be ultra key to watch until they get violated.

 

Open VPOC's

 

12722, 12687, 12547, 12501, 12450

My reference point for the week will be the key 12580 level. This was a VPOC from January 31st, 2007 which got filled last Friday. The monthly pivot is also at 12583 and will be a good level to watch.

 

Quick plays at the open for the YM:

 

Overnight session meet resistance at the PP/daily pivot at 12630ish. The weekly pivot is at 12640. Anything to the upside will need to take out this 12640 level. I will most likely go long above this level as I do not see any resistance until the POC and R1 level at 12687 - 12688.

The daily chart shows us that we met our support at previous resistance (for many weeks) at the 807 level. We dipped a little below, but no follow through and buyers snatched up the opportunity to grab ER contracts at that low low price! I’d look for price to have trouble breaking down through there, and if we do find ourselves into 804 land, then we’re back to some rangebound (20 points or so) trading.

For our Market Profile guys and gals…there was a nice double distribution day on Friday. A couple areas to watch in the coming week…798.9 which is a VPOC and also a psych level at 800, and 786 (another VPOC) if we head down there. We may be in for some more upward momentum as people could be feeling it’s a good value at it’s current price.

We are still outside of the monthly value area to the upside. Interesting to note is this…the 2 low volume nodes of 805.3 and 814.4 provided some great levels recently for support and resistance. What is VAL for today? 805.6…..So if price happens to come down there again, look for more buyers to quickly bring it back to 809-811. This could happen over the next couple of days, provided we don’t, for some weird reason, come down and start filling that vacuum. If so…801.8 is monthly VAH and 794 is monthly POC and the high volume node.

Larger profiles are great to see a bigger time frame and where we might be heading. 814.4 is going to be a tough contender for a resistance level today (I assume we’ll see it today as price is at 811.80 right now). With the amount of range ER is having lately, we could certainly see a rotation from 814.4 to 805.3 happen today. Something to keep in the back of you mind.

We had a very interesting continuation gap on Tuesday. Feb 13th, 2007. YM gapped approx 40pts and took off to close at 12687.

 

Here is an interesting YM 10 minute chart using fibs:

YM gapped and tested the 50%-61.8% zone which held as support. This tells me that the decline from Friday is no longer valid. However, this could actually be a short squeeze. The next line of resistance will be Fridays high at 12703. This will be a key price level.... if it can not break, it will probably reverse back down to fill the gap at 12585ish or at least to the VPOC at 12595.

 

Now to the upside, the ceiling gets thin and I find it hard to design a trading plan when it starts making new record highs.

We have a VPOC at 12722 and also the high from 2/7/07 at 12736. Anything above this level and.... I would start looking at daily, weekly, and monthly pivots.

 

Couple key levels to watch for at the open:

 

Resistance

 

12703: watch for reversal here.. will be BIG

12725 - 12735: I may fade the first attempt to 12735. But any valid breakout above this will be strong.

 

Support

 

12663: as always the POC

12640: any break below this will probably take it to the VPOC at 12595 or a possible gap fill

    • How's about other crypto exchanges? Are all they banned in your country or only Binance?
    • Be careful who you blame.   I can tell you one thing for sure.   Effective traders don’t blame others when things start to go wrong.   You can hang onto your tendency to play the victim, or the martyr… but if you want to achieve in trading, you have to be prepared to take responsibility.   People assign reasons to outcomes, whether based on internal or external factors.   When traders face losses, it's common for them to blame bad luck, poor advice, or other external factors, rather than reflecting on their own personal attributes like arrogance, fear, or greed.   This is a challenging lesson to grasp in your trading journey, but one that holds immense value.   This is called attribution theory. Taking responsibility for your actions is the key to improving your trading skills. Pause and ask yourself - What role did I play in my financial decisions?   After all, you were the one who listened to that source, and decided to act on that trade based on the rumour. Attributing results solely to external circumstances is what is known as having an ‘external locus of control’.   It's a concept coined by psychologist Julian Rotter in 1954. A trader with an external locus of control might say, "I made a profit because the markets are currently favourable."   Instead, strive to develop an "internal locus of control" and take ownership of your actions.   Assume that all trading results are within your realm of responsibility and actively seek ways to improve your own behaviour.   This is the fastest route to enhancing your trading abilities. A trader with an internal locus of control might proudly state, "My equity curve is rising because I am a disciplined trader who faithfully follows my trading plan."

    • SELF IMPROVEMENT.   The whole self-help industry began when Dale Carnegie published How to Win Friends and Influence People in 1936. Then came other classics like Think And Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill, Awaken the Giant Within by Tony Robbins toward the end of the century.   Today, teaching people how to improve themselves is a business. A pure ruthless business where some people sell utter bullshit.   There are broke Instagrammers and YouTubers with literally no solid background teaching men how to be attractive to women, how to begin a start-up, how to become successful — most of these guys speaking nothing more than hollow motivational words and cliche stuff. They waste your time. Some of these people who present themselves as hugely successful also give talks and write books.   There are so many books on financial advice, self-improvement, love, etc and some people actually try to read them. They are a waste of time, mostly.   When you start reading a dozen books on finance you realize that they all say the same stuff.   You are not going to live forever in the learning phase. Don't procrastinate by reading bull-shit or the same good knowledge in 10 books. What we ought to do is choose wisely.   Yes. A good book can change your life, given you do what it asks you to do.   All the books I have named up to now are worthy of reading. Tim Ferriss, Simon Sinek, Robert Greene — these guys are worthy of reading. These guys teach what others don't. Their books are unique and actually, come from relevant and successful people.   When Richard Branson writes a book about entrepreneurship, go read it. Every line in that book is said by one of the greatest entrepreneurs of our time.   When a Chinese millionaire( he claims to be) Youtuber who releases a video titled “Why reading books keeps you broke” and a year later another one “My recommendation of books for grand success” you should be wise to tell him to jump from Victoria Falls.   These self-improvement gurus sell you delusions.   They say they have those little tricks that only they know that if you use, everything in your life will be perfect. Those little tricks. We are just “making of a to-do-list before sleeping” away from becoming the next Bill Gates.   There are no little tricks.   There is no success-mantra.   Self-improvement is a trap for 99% of the people. You can't do that unless you are very, very strong.   If you are looking for easy ways, you will only keep wasting your time forgetting that your time on this planet is limited, as alive humans that is.   Also, I feel that people who claim to read like a book a day or promote it are idiots. You retain nothing. When you do read a good book, you read slow, sometimes a whole paragraph, again and again, dwelling on it, trying to internalize its knowledge. You try to understand. You think. It takes time.   It's better to read a good book 10 times than 1000 stupid ones.   So be choosy. Read from the guys who actually know something, not some wannabe ‘influencers’.   Edit: Think And Grow Rich was written as a result of a project assigned to Napoleon Hill by Andrew Carnegie(the 2nd richest man in recent history). He was asked to study the most successful people on the planet and document which characteristics made them great. He did extensive work in studying hundreds of the most successful people of that time. The result was that little book.   Nowadays some people just study Instagram algorithms and think of themselves as a Dale Carnegie or Anthony Robbins.
