Probable Trade Setup

In this chart, I am showing a trade setup based from my own understanding in the market.

This is just for educational purposes and trading is about pattern recognition.

Once you learn how to recognize a pattern, you don't need those fancy indicators.

So let's begin a trade!

In this chart, I am showing the DIA, similar to the YM futures.

The market made a crazy move last Friday, even though it moves that way I find one probable setup that states below.

The two arrows are the entry and exit, and this is a short trade.

As you can see from the first arrow, it formed what they call the bear flag.

That's a sign that the market is now on a bearish trend.

The Entry: $129.65 - for a short sell

The Exit: $129.35  - for a cover

Gain: +$0.30 cents per share (that's a sure trade, if you sold short (you borrow from your broker) a 1,000 shares, that's equivalent to $300.00 in a span of half an hour?).

Not bad for a day's watching the market, isn't it?
