Observe & Trade


Showing this 5-min. chart from Russell 2000 (TF), one can easily observe that this is a candidate for a short trade.

From the previous close, it opens up but stay below the pivot from thereon until it offers a short confirmation two hours before the close.

Monitoring the market the whole trading day needs a lot of patience, that's how in trading.

Observe & Trade


As observed from this 5-min. chart from Russell 2000 (TF), a low risk short trade is probable.

From the previous trading closing area (the previous arrow), and from the opening with a new high of 799.50 points.

By observing this chart pattern and by combining the previous closing chart, you can conclude that this is an HS pattern.

Likewise the descending 20 ema is a short trade confirmation, plus the previous close was broken at the last hour of trading.

By taking a last hour short trade is a sure fire to bank some money (777.00 - 773.00 = 4 points). TF moves 0.10 points per $10.00, that's +$400.00 bucks profit.

Not bad for the last hour trade.

As the great trader say, "waiting and sitting" coupled with Observing is the way to Trade!

Observe & Trade


Almost flat market day today, and this 5-min. chart from QQQQ which is identical to NQ from the e-minis shows a short trade at the last hour.

By observing the pattern one hour or two before the close, you cannot make a conclusion where it is heading.

But the 20 ema is descending, so the confirmation is to short this index with a tight stop.

NQ moves $10.00 per o.50 points, so if it moves 10 points, you have a gain of 20 points for a profit of $200.00.
