Week 3 Trades- Spookywill

Recommended Posts

I was fading my market structure so I would be on the right side for a breakout. Effectively I am short from 1370.

Yes I see that. I know you were leaning short and was just making a cute remark about the dizzy part.

SPOOKYWILL TO GOSU,

 

I enjoyed the humor and I know you well enough to know that you are not mean spirited.

 

And we have no range today which makes for narrow margins, small trades, and frequent reversals. Hard way to make a living. But it can be done without inordinate effort.

I closed the short because I didn't see much downside potential and I wanted to open to for a long entry.

 

In retrospect, this was an error, so I am looking for a graceful way to get back short.

 

If we hold 1363, I will probably go long.

Apple is self destructing, therefore the NQ is also heavily down, and the trend in breadth is negative.

 

All say don't go long and favor shorts.

 

In particular, be very careful fading the trend of breadth in the last hour.Apple reports its earnings after the close today.

1363 did hold and prices fired out to the upside. However I re-entered short 1366.50. I don't see much either way, and "breadth is my frend."

We came back down to test the overnight high and morning low of roughly 1382 and prices so far have held there. I would like to see a double top structure form and have an opportunity to enter short above 1384. Be patient; we may not get a playable structure before the announcement.

 

Breaking the morning low would also give a sell signal.

 

Remember the FED, the trades today are liable to come after their announcement. I plan on being flat until the dust settles.

 

I was went short at 1382.25

makes life wrth living trade-I want to go short at 1385 or better, stop 1387. If I don't get stopped out by the Frd announcement, I will have a great reade. If I do, which is likely, I will reassess after the 1;15 announcement

we have divergences in the indices with the ES being the only one to make a new high. And breadth is no where its earlier high. and the risk reward ratio is very favorable. Very high risk as Bernanke is just staring his remarks. Stop at 1388.50

lower stop to 1386 so we are playing on Bernanke's money. 1380.25 breaks prices to the downside. Big whipsaw potential, would not go short here.

 

Bernanke's remarks last til 2:15 CST.

 

There are 4 longer term tops in the 1389 area, so going through that area would produce a strong buy signal.

stop 1367.25

 

I am very late coming to the party, I just woke up.

 

We have a mature balance area of 12 day's duration and a potential failed breakout to the upside.

 

We should initially retest 1382.75 and see if that area holds.

 

Either way, we are due for a strong move.strong move. Based on yesterday, I think the most likely ultimate direction todayis up, but we willl see what the market says.

    • Question: To those that had/have cancer, what were the signs that made you think “something is not right here” to make you go see a doctor? Answer: So, 5/25/2018, I woke up, got ready for work, and as I walked to my car, I started gagging. Like something was stuck in my throat and I needed to clear it. And then it went away.   But 10 minutes after that, I was T-boned at 40mph on the driver side door. But what made me see a doctor was while my muscles felt better and bruises were going away, the gagging still continued, I started having fevers, my neck felt swollen, I was having such a hard time breathing, and I'd have random sharp pains in my chest, but not from where the seat belt saved me.   2 weeks after the accident, I finally see an urgent care doctor, who looks me over, tells me I'm fine, but luckily requests a neck X-ray. And I ask for a chest X-ray, which he rolls his eyes but let me have (most of my pain was in the neck, so I understand).   The very next day, he calls and says “So, that chest X-ray shows there's a 4 inch mass on your heart and lungs, and your lungs have been filling up with fluid, as well as in your pericardial (heart) wall. We need you to come in tomorrow.”   Turns out the big mass, due to the accident, caused my heart and lungs to tear and fill with fluid, the swollen neck and gagging was caused by 2 metastasized tumors, and the fevers and weight loss were symptoms. Stage 4b Hodgkin's Lymphoma.   But thankfully, we went very aggressive with chemo (and had a lot of bad side effects that don't normally happen to patients), and now I'm about 16 months cancer-free. Yay lucky X-rays!

    • As a man, the reality of life is the harshest part. I don’t mind looking older or becoming weaker over time; it’s nature.   Have you ever heard that the only people who will be loved unconditionally are women and children? Men will only be loved as long as they can provide until they are no longer needed. It doesn’t matter if you already did your best to get your kids to the best school or get the best things for them, if you stop before they’re done with it, there will be no thank you. The only thing they will remember is that they have to quit school at 15, ignoring all the previous 15 years of life you provided for them. The only people who will accept you, no matter what, are your parents. But in this situation, you might be that ungrateful child.   EDIT: Wow, I didn’t think this would get so much attention.   For those who disagree, I can only say that everyone has their problem. If you don’t get the chance to face such a thing, be grateful.
