Observe & Trade

Watching the market and at this point it is a selling exodus from the participants.

We'll see if it will stabilize and will consolidate.

It's a short market at this moment.

Will look for a good location to find and form a trade idea, if not, no trade at all.

MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY TRADING TO EVERYONE!

Observe & Trade


Showing this chart from QQQQ which is identical to NQ from e-mini.

Notice how the pattern look like.

Pretty much similar to Russell 2000 (TF).

Showing these two similar charts from DJ-30 and DIA which is identical to e-mini YM.

YM is the only clear tradeable I can see from the e-minis today.

It has a nice consolidation above the ascending 20MA.

And also it's way above the previous close.

If you are looking for a breakout, this is the one.

And this can be exited from the R1.

Got stopped out from TF today to break even.

It went down a bit and trail my cover stop and I got hit.

Looking at the chart conclusion, it is not for an ordinary discretionary trader to fight/trade this kind of pattern.

Unless you are a risk taker or scalper.

I'll leave that to the computer or the pros.

That's why I stop trading after that and just stay idle.

My reason for the trade in TF is "I traded my beliefs not the market".

Got stopped out from TF.
