Friday's Trade Setup

After Thursday's jumper trade, the market somersaulted last Friday's trading day.

After the euphoria, the market turn ugly and made a turnaround.

Probably because of Friday, a profit taking days for the traders.

Likewise of the Apple stock (AAPL), it went on a selling spree the past days and that affected the whole market.

It's like where the Apple goes, so the market too.

For last Friday's trade setup, the best entry is to short the market where it starts the signal below the settlement price as shown from the arrow below.

The moving averages gave the confirmation when its starts to crosses over and descends below the previous close.

Exit the trade before the market close.

Thursday's Jumper Trade

The market 'jumped' early in the market open last Thursday's market.

It continues to move upwards till the close.

I guess all the participants were eager to buy the market because of 'after effect' from Sandy (hurricane) that batters the east coast especially in New York where the market seats.

The best entry is to buy the market in the open and exit before the close for a no-brainer trade?

This trade setup is a predictable 'kinda' move considering the market was closed the past two days due to the storm and the market was initially opened last Wednesday.

Most participants were still out then (last Wednesday) that's why the market move erratically on that day.

Come Thursday, all participants were all pumped up to buy the market that's why it surge in the open.

The market is a study of human behavior, and it's important to monitor the market sentiments.

Read the minds of the market is all that matters!

 

 

Friday's Trade Setup

The market was on the downtrend for the past four days of trading and doesn't show any sign of recovery.

There lots of events that was happening from around the globe that affected the whole market and likewise the earnings report of the most notable companies that moves the market, i.e., AAPL, GOOG, and others.

And most participants are taking early profits prior to the coming December holidays.

They are taking profits early to get the most advantage in price while the market is still way up.

At  the same time they are taking position from other instruments, 'buying on the deep opportunities'.

For today's market, the Nasdaq index show some kind of late trading opportunity.

As can be seen from the chart below, the QQQ etf's, which is the equivalent 'kinda' of the NQ futures.

The best entry is when it made/show a reversal pattern above the S1 level.

It briefly consolidates/tested above that level and then vertically bounced up to the R1 level.

Nice catch if you were able to take this kind of opportunity/setup.

And the ascending MA's gave the confirmation for a long trade.

Have a nice weekend fellow traders, hope you were able to capitalize on this last trading setup opportunity, erasing all the losses (for the bulls) the past four trading days.

Monday's Market Action

The market bounces back at the later part of trading.

It opened above from Friday's close only to make choppy/volatile moves almost the whole market hours.

The participants are gauging the market sentiments due to earnings reports and vital calendar market events.

Let's see come trading days ahead if the market will prevail from today's move.

Not much volatility, all sell off throughout the trading day.

Tuesday's Trade Setup

Monday's Trade Setup

The market is on the verge of downward movement the past weeks.

For today's market, it gap up in the open only to lose its momentum after an hour or so.

The best entry if within the settlement price as the two ma's crosses over.

It formed a "u" pattern and a cup with a handle bullish formation.

Spotting today's market involves recognition of pattern which plays a vital part in finding a probable trade.

The most probable exit on this setup is when the market closes its session.
