The yellow line is the high/low study in TOS, you can set for daily, or weekly, or monthly. Remind me to look up what it's actually called for you.AG 2000' said:You still using woodies?McInnis 03 said:Unsure if anyone besides me even cares, but just in the event someone else does......that support daily pivot was MONEY and BOTH ES and NQ rejected on yesterdays Low Of Day (LOD, yellow line).....Now we see if they trend it out for the rest of the day......McInnis 03 said:^^^ How it startedMcInnis 03 said:

vvv How it's going
I'm trying to figure out why I don't have the same yellow lines.
Got the blue but not yellow.
Thank you McInnis, will check it out.McInnis 03 said:
The study is called "DailyHighLow" and you can pick quite a few display options.
I like to plot the daily high low from the previous day as it's often revisited, and then on longer times (daily chart) i'll plot the weekly high/low because it can give directional clues. Retest the previous week high and reject? Could be a balancing week. Same on the low. Break previous week high or low, could be sign of trend.
Yeah I would only look for H&S intraday zoomed out. Irish isn't a 1 minute fan, but he plays further out expirations. I usually watch 3 minute when I scalp SPY or Q's, but I'll occasionally look at 1 minute to see volume or to see a reversal. I saw it bear flagging when you posted the mini H&S and the majority of it was sell volume and VIX was starting to curl upward.BaylorSpineGuy said:
I always get chided for this….but there was about a 2 min right shoulder on the 1 min candles. Not seen on 5 min.
Someone on here always busts balls for looking at 1 min candles but I see pattern recognition much easier on that
the negative news is still flowing unfortunatelyAG 2000' said:
Well, February OPEX is friggin' over.
And we got a three day weekend.
Will take those as positives.
Now if Putin can dunk on Biden and then pull his troops back over the weekend, we can get back after it next week.
Have a good one everyone.

I agree, I feel like it's 50/50 at this point that Putin just backs off completely or goes balls to the wall ground war. I don't know what to thinkBob Knights Liver said:
It really feels like the US media and US Government are trying so hard to make this fight happen. This might all be real, but it's very weird behavior by them.

Putin wants Ukraine to prevent them from ever being accepted into NATO and create a buffer zone. He knows Biden is weak and won't defend them. He has Germany under control because he can turn off most of their energy. This is the time to take it. This same scenario applies to China and Taiwan as well. I expect them to move on Taiwan within the next month once they see the world rollover for Russia. Weak US leadership has left a void. I hated Obama's policy but he was stronger than the dip**** in DC right now.BaylorSpineGuy said:
Coincidentally, there is a 6 mo H&S that just completed on the DJIA. I don't wonder if this is a headfake by the administration to gin up a war to cover for a massive market crash that is largely created by deficit spending, money printing, etc.
Would fit the narrative well. Convenient time for Russia to attack. All the while Putin denying anything. I'm
Not saying he is a respectable gentleman by any means, but to think our government is any less nefarious….I'd like some of that Kool-Aid please.

Putin is taking Ukraine
Not spidey sense, I'm a voracious reader of news. China has been violating Taiwan's airspace with multiple fighters and bombers, their last sortie was 39 planes, for the last 2 months. These were occurring weekly until the Olympics started. Putin and Xi had a very public event solidifying their mutual interests, allies. I think we have/had 2 carrier groups in the region but Xi knows Biden is weak and vulnerable politically. Once Russia rolls over Ukraine, I expect Xi to move on Taiwan, that's when SHTF for the markets. Olympics end on Sunday. I hope I'm wrong, but it's lining up the way I've posted.BaylorSpineGuy said:
Wow. You really think China is coming for Taiwan? Has long been rumored but never thought it would happen. US gonna have to fight for Taiwan though. We need those chips.
I did see someone buying 75P like 1 mo out on TSM. Maybe your spidey sense is locked in.
I disagree and I hope your right.gougler08 said:ProgN said:gougler08 said:I agree, I feel like it's 50/50 at this point that Putin just backs off completely or goes balls to the wall ground war. I don't know what to thinkBob Knights Liver said:

I highly doubt he takes Kiev, maybe the outer regions they always squabble about but I doubt he goes full invasion to take it all

Not that great of a week.
- Profit on CENX (about $170)
- Profit on TTD (about $230)
- Stopped on XSP and VXX plays (-$30 on VXX, -$150 on XSP)
- Collected premium on DKNG ($90 this week $155 total). Our net cost basis is about $20 on this, so not horrible. I'd like to exit on some gap fill retracement next week
- Collected premium on APA ($220). We are underwater still by about $1 per share or $200, we can work with this and I don't think the energy market is done
- Loss on $SHOP (-$400)
- KO is in profit, about $100
- NEM is in profit and we sold the 66C for next week. It will be about $300 in profit if we get assigned
- MTTR we are taking assignment on, so we will be underwater about $0.30 per share or $90 on 300 shares. That isn't horrible and we can work with that
- PLTR we are taking assignment on with a base of $11.68, which puts us about $120 total under water on that, but we can also work with that
Wins: $710
Losses: ($580)
Unrealized Loss: ($1,010)Unrealized Gain: $400
- $420 on DKNG
- $120 on PLTR
- $90 on MTTR
- $380 on APA
- $100 on KO
- $300 on NEM
Net position: 710 - 580 - 1010 + 400 = ($480)
I think the positive thing is we are getting bottom basement prices on MTTR and PLTR. They could go lower, but these are not bad spots to take entries. Secondly, having a net difference of <1% week to week in a week like this one isn't horrible, and we own the shares in all cases.
