Hi FW.
What you have stated is worth a lot, imo anyway. The other factor i look at is the Nasdaq, i think that will retest it's highs tomorrow so it may drag the S&P and Dow with it, unless there is divergence.
Do you ever find that if the dax opens up it takes the US futures up with it, basically taking points of the table?
Thanks.
lurkerlurker,
I've used CMC in the past and still do for some charts. What must be remembered your watching CMC's "version" of the market, i.e their price, therefore the indicators are based on their prices.
Can I ask why you're using 150 as the setting for CCI? Are you following the system detailed by Chartman on the KB?
Hi everyone,
Here is my pennies worth for the next couple of days at least...
According to my Uncle Oscar's two pin reversal bars there is a two day upward movement in the DOW.
In the past couple of times I have traded these they have been spot on. Thank you uncle Oscar
Tomorrow the plan is to watch for a while and go long. SL @ 12290.
I'm thinking with this level of strength 13500 will be tested this week by Wednesday.
Downside is that we may still have fib 23% retrace to 13150 somewhere by end of week.
Prediction for the week is a 200 point rise till midweek and then a big 350 drop.
Good luck everyone.
With the greatest respect, why on earth are you considering a long entry at current levels with a stoploss 350 points away? Won't a long be shown to be incorrect around the many strong support levels between here and 13000? Since you seem content with a 350 pip risk, may I ask how where your target is, and how the risk / reward compares.
Furthermore, what timescale are you trading, and how long do you intend to hold the position with the -350 stoploss?
My twopennies - I'm waiting for a retracement to near support levels, followed by a continuation north, where I intend to buy and hold with a SL around 10 pips below local support. That's a maximum SL of around 30 pips, with an upside just over 50. Maybe more longer term.
Am I missing something?
Speaking of which, do you still feel like the horse? Or are you back to wanting to knock of the ES and YM?
Cheers

Considering it purely based on TA and Oscar's two pin bar reversals. They are good for couple of days or time periods you see them on.
I've circled it for you have another look.
Sorry - SL @ 13290 - 50 pips.
Target @ 13500 ish...
Leave FA out of this and as they say trade what you see.
PS. Do agree DOW is totally over rated but we'll find out by end of week.
...
Depending on the strength of DAX in Monday's AM (however DAX likes to fall in AM sessions...) I think DOW can break the resistance.
Another scenario is that DAX retraces slightly so when US opens it will be on support and we can buy there. I'm definitely looking for longs with Monday or Tuesday a trending day where I'll try to maximise profits by staying in as long as possible!
I dont know about you guys but my new super whizzo system definately favours short !
