The Market Gives us clues today…
800am EST
– Dollar Index Futures trading right in the middle of the sideways range from 87.600 down to 86.00
o We’re trading in the middle
o We have dropping average true range
o Pace of tape is VERY Slow
What does this mean?
• Dollar leads the other markets, so concern on the dollar = concern on other markets we trade
• Trending dollar = trending EVERYTHING else
• Choppy slow dollar = disaster for a day trader.
– Watching for a DX-pattern @ 825am EST, we see the Dollar is in the middle, so we need to wait for the dollar to test its extremes
o Also notice the NARROW trading range on the dollar. From high to low is a VERY NARROW trading range. We want this to be as WIDE as possible, giving us the room to let the trade run.
830am EST
– Euro Futures are looking very similar to the dollar index
o Trading off its recent lows, we’re sitting in the middle of a very narrow sideways range on the fast timeframe
o Also in the middle of the wide range on the slower timeframe
o Pace of tape indicator is NOT showing GREEN like it usually does, so euro has a slow speed
845am EST
– It looks like most of the markets are sleeping this morning ahead of the holiday weekend
– We can chose ANY market we want, so what should I look for?
o Overall Volume = use your market analyzer
Trade the market with MORE volume
o 6E = 131k
o 6A = 56k
o 6B = 41k
o 6C = 30k
o 6S = 29k
945am EST
– We watched as the DX-Pattern sets up for a high risk entry
o Dollar has too much support
o Euro has too much resistance
o Both the Dollar and the Euro are trading @ their open of the day and prev close of the day
Remember the loss we took last week?
• No big money!
• Trading around the open/close of the day
• We want to avoid trading around the OPEN/CLOSE of today or yesterday.
