For anyone remotely interested, today was an Oops day - the market gapped up above the highs of the the last two days. This setup was made famous by Larry Williams, I believe. The reasoning, supposedly, is that newbies jump onboard the rocket assuming she's going to make 10,000, only to find that the big boys have other plans, and down she tanks trailing burnt newbies in her wake.
I have read about oops in his book " how I maade a million bucks trading bla di bla diblakj
CJ, you still there )))))))) :cheesy: :cheesy: :!:
I was just tidying up the notes for some stuff I have been working on, and on a little sticky note I have written : 24th July 2003, watch for intraday reversal on 1 year anniversary"
Boy, my secretary is gonna pay for that one....it is of course exactly last year the market made a low in July....AAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH...
oh, well the bulls will have their work cut out for them, this harmonic cycle is going DOWN
the 268 rule ( well spotted, you are the first one to ask ) is the result of studying 7 years worth of data...the market has a tendency to reverse on the 268th minute of the day....
that is indeed 268 minutes from the open and a LOWER high from a morning high,....I am giving too much away here....
CJ, How is my Caroline doing? :cheesy: :cheesy:
tomorrow should be a tricky day...if we follow the path of the 24th last year the market should retrace 50% of the move down today....the path is up but very choppy...
I've just looked back, and 24 July 2002 on ES was one of those rare days when it was pure bliss to trade - opened near the low of the day (773.25) then just rose to close near the high of the day at 847.50.
Yep, one long ride up of an incredible 74.25 points on ES.
in trouble now...back to the pool....orders are in and so are stops...
I am highly suspect of this today, because my VIX and TRIN indicators gave me sell signals last night, but it would tie in perfect with the action last year
well, I went against the path due to the VIX and TRIN. I may regret it, but that sell-off last night, whatever those idiots at bubblevision are telling you it was a mistake, I dont think so,,,it coincided with a VIX sell signal
