a second possibility to consider.




Daily trend is up but slowing. But I need to see another candle or two because I'm not going to put a lot of weight on a candle that doesn't break the previous candles high on the lowest volume day of the year.

Zooming out, nat gas got the correction it needed to base and explode higher. Whether that move is started or not yet really doesn't matter to me. We're far closer to a bottom than any potential top. But we are definitely heated in the short term. I'm waiting for an entry point.

If you'll humor me on this. I don't use Heiken Ashi candles and never have. I get the basic premise of it, but just have never used.

What is your philosophy for how you identify trend with it?

In theory you want to see the last two days right?

For up - I want no lower wicks and multiple candles finishing above previous candle. Two in a row can provide an entry, but usually have to shift from daily to hourly to perform maintenance and set stops. 3 candle uptrend is ideal.

If you get a massive candle far above the previous.. good chance the next one will either be a brake check (slowing monentum) or straight reversal. A candle that still shows trend but doesn't make a new high is a caution candle. Not necessarily an exit, but time to watch closely and be ready.

If at any point you get a wick counter to the trend or a double wick, it's an indecision and bull/bear battle. Better to let them hash it out.

Decent uptrend that is followed by either indecision or reversal that doesn't retrace more than 50% of trend.. and then re-emerges with uptrend, great place for entry. Don't exit until you see a lower wick.

Can get really good when you start to notice nuance of moves and can switch to different timeframe candles and start stacking trends.

There will be a ton of failed setups. 2-3 candle uptrend. Boom. Enter. Next candle is indecision. Exit. Try again. Same thing. Try again. Trend reverses. Wait for setup. Try again. Indecision. Exit. Try again. Boom. Finally caught it.

In your chart above, I'm a strong hold. Need more then 3 candles to enter. That setups shows that nobody has control. Bulls get a trend and lose it. Bears can't form a trend. Bulls keep losing it.

Not worth my effort. Move on to something showing a potential trend.

Thought this chart was enlightening. It compares returns if you hold a position overnight vs day trading. Pretty clear it shows that most of the movement happens after hours.

100%. Intraday is for short term trading only.

I think it also shows why I read day trading is so hard. You have such a small margin of error to deal with.

Thanks for sharing that. Yeah I wouldn't doubt it's a double top, going down in December. But then, I'm a pessimist about this market.

That's a crazy SKEW gap up. Typically shooting stars on SKEW are followed by a market pullback days to week out. Was on a half trading day of the holiday weekend though so have to keep an eye on.

Ok now we're ready. Decided it was time for a new rally hat to get us through about March. Bull or bear we're ready.

Already have. Been scaling in VIX calls for Dec monthly on the VIX suppression.

If those (SKEW, macros and VIX) end up correlating this time around there will be plenty to play short on.

But we will have to watch price and volume. I still think we can go a little higher before that happens.

SKEW shooting stars like that usually have a market pullback days to about a week later. Chart wise anyway if you overlay them.

Appreciate this. I feel vindicated for buying those VIX calls two weeks back out to February. Looks like need to load up some OTM SPY puts soon out a few weeks.

Looks like reversal may be close indeed. Curious to know if Santa will be visiting this year or not.

It's possible for a pullback. Tricky trading. A few indicators do align for it but nothing is certain regardless.

Tuesday - Consumer Confidence Index Report
Wednesday - GDP Report
Friday - Monthly Jobs Report

Any one of the three perceived as negative could spark a sell off, I bet.

Oh yeah! Now we're talkin' mister. Good looking hat!

I have a Stetson El Campeon 50X Silverbeaver and been satisfied with; however, I took the plunge last week for an El Presidente 100X Mist Grey, we'll see how it compares. But I tell you, I got a Resistol Diamond Horseshoe 15X Mist Grey that's been with me for many decades and has never let me down....had a lot of luck with that hat.

No such thing as too many hats, boots or buckles. Just sayin'..
FJ43
How long do you want to ignore this user?
Sounds like we both have the same problem. You've got good taste in hats! I think I'm the same boat. Have nice Stetsons and Resistols but it's the old beat up worn one that keeps heading out the door.

Totally agree there is no such thing as too many. It's kinda like a good rifle. There's always the one you should have bought.

Mrs FJ doesn't even blink when it's hat time.

Tomorrow is likely a down day, but my sense is we don't get a huge move. They'll wait for Powell for that.

USO will probably open near $64.

Don't be dumb but I think there is a possibility of a mean reversion up.
