Market began to trend lower aggressively. I was eager and entered a short on CAT with a tight stop. Reward:Risk was 10:1, so the loss is not unexpected nor a 'bad' thing.

Pre-Market Analysis

Overnight, ES tested the POC from two weeks ago. ONL falls right on Y_High meaning we have tested the Y_High in the overnight session. My bias is neutral and I will wait to see how the session...

Traded my Plan Today (mostly)

Once the market opened and internals turned positive, my plan and expectation was for ES to trade up to the ONH and Y_VWAP. I began looking for long trades and found this entry in MO.

Pre-Market Analysis

ES poised in a range. Overnight low tested the POC from two weeks ago which happened to coincide with a RTH low from last week Wednesday. We now have three important levels all stacked within 1 point...

Good Selling Area

When I have the long basket in play, this is where I'd be selling a SPY call. $ADSPD divergence in the area of interest to sell, at the recent high.

My Short Today

FDX gapped down big and then started moving lower aggressively off the open. The broad market advance-decline was moving lower as well. I only consider shorts at this point. Price hits my target line...

Potential Long

This is a potential long setup. Approaching Y_low with good a good ADSPD divergence. Target mid-day around 3000-3001.

Let us see if this plays out before FOMC.

Applying Internals:

Today we opened up, and traded lower to test the ONL. We then traded up, past the RTH open to test ONH. The interesting part is that less stocks participated in this move up as the $ADSPD...

ES Analysis for 9.9.19

Longer-term

If we break ONL I bet the next stop would be the top of that long term range around 2940-2950.

I am still not day-trading, but considering easing...

Russell Leading the Way!

Russell is making the most convincing case for the bears. Good thing that is my long-term short!

A very balanced day! If I had to bet, I would guess that we break to the downside out of the range today sometime during the overnight session or tomorrow RTH.

Zimmer's Journal: Naked Chart Reading

Big gap down! What happens next? To me, the Russell chart looks far worse than S&P’s which is fine by me as I am currently long S&P and short Russell.

Any thoughts on projections for this week?
