103 Ticks Live Today! Hidden Divergence Lesson, back to BIG Winners in the Trade Room!
The Market Gives us clues today…
830am EST
– News about Portugal getting a downgrade, seeing news about Greece Riots, news about people fleeing financial markets in Greece and flooding the US markets….however…we MUST stick to those RULEs!!!
– Dollar Index futures continue to push through their highs
o We have a tight sideways range just below the highs, but we will wait to see if we need to worry about that.
– Euro futures continue to drop on pressure from the dollar
o Euro looks very appetizing to the short side, but we remind ourselves to follow those rules
Sometimes the BUY off the BOUNCE off the lows is the better trade, so don’t feel pressured into jumping in short
915am EST
– Gold futures were trading sideways with LOTS of support, however, they kept getting forced through the lows, and violently dropping to the next level of support
o This is very hard to trade b/c the VOLUME doesn’t show up until AFTER the move has started.
– Crude Oil Futures made us 50 ticks already today on a very easy breaker pattern short, which started the big move down
o We looked for the bounce off the lows, got a small winner there, but the BIG BOUNCE off the lows came @ 900am when the market was opening.
1115am EST
– Markets have been trading slower in the dead zone (1030-1130)
– We had such large drops in crude oil, crude is very tough to get a feel for right now
– Gold speed has dropped dramatically
o Use the pace of tape indicator
o Where are we right now?
