Trading with point and figure

It can be very frustrating when they drop the market to retest pre lows out of USA trading hours.

Will the present lows hold..

will they rerally it.. or just a bit... then retest lows again come USA open....

it will seem a long wait to 14.30 to 15.00 hrs UK time awaiting US markets..

Upon the US open..I wouldnt count out something of importance around 16.30 hrs UK

One thing about the present low test at least on the Dow, is that its a Low risk trade to consider buying ...if one has their stop at the prior lows..

even if attempting a short term buy...until the early 8 30 am UK lows get taken out.

(As long as we do not get a GAP down) which generally is rare...but can happen in extreme conditions....then Stops will get taken out unless they are guaranteed ones..that if spread betting on the Dow is often 50 to 100 points away Minimum if I recall..)

The Issue I have now is generally the Cycles I use... I expect the pivots to occur in Main US cash market trading Hours (9.30 to 16.00 EST or 14.30 to 21.00hr UK)..(although this does not always work out) sometimes lows and highs come in before...

If say their is major resistance.. and the big boys are looking to buy call Options...
I think they have to wait untill 14.30 hrs before they can do so..

so they cant close out their January to March Puts until then or buy Calls while the markets at present / earlier lows...at least on the main US Option Exchanges..

Spread betting sometimes they can..buy or sell US Indices options prior the main US market opening.

China / Mid East Issues occurring again ! but they halted trading...

Not fair on the bears..but may favor the Bulls...

Should they be able to do that is my question ?

but no one wants really wants a melt down!


China halts trading after stocks plunge 7 percent
The sell-off was blamed on weak manufacturing data and Middle East tensions.

On the Dow it broke the 21st Dec 17113 Low and has dropped to new lows since the Nov 15th Low..that was at about 17020..

Will they try to test the November low or play their games and rerally it..before the US open just to be awkward ? :)


If the Dow breaks below 17020..

I wonder if it will test the 38.2% retracement of the Aug 24th Low to Nov 3rd High..range that was 17978 - 15370 = 2608 point range on the Dow..

that I estimate at about the 16982 level.


Afternoon all, what have I missed?
