SP500 gapped open this morning but the rally failed at the declining 400ma (grey line) micro down trend. Its still above its neutral Pivot Point (brown line) and its possible that it may try another run at the 400ma. [SP500, 2 days, 5 minute candles, 400ma, Pivot Points]

The Nasdaq has consistently pulled back and rebounded off its rising 50 day moving average the past 3 months. I guess we will see if it can do it again. [Nasdaq, 3 months, daily candles, 50ma]

OI, I bought a few Sep (expire 9/21) 290 calls, bypassed Buy 1 at 1.35 and went straight to the programs Buy 2 level at 1.15. Lets see if they rebound. Sell half at 1.60, other half at 1.90, Stop at 0.95. [SEP290C (expires 9/21)

OI, any thoughts on a bounce or no bounce off the 20 day moving average on the SP500? SP500, 1 month, daily candles, 20ma, 40ma]

Closing daily candle charts on the SP500 & Dow30 for 8/23/18. The SP500 has a daily candle sell signal one day after the Dows sell signal, however if it only pulls back to its 20 day moving average, that would only be another 17 points. [SP500, 1 month, daily candles, 20ma & 40ma]...

The SP500 just dropped down to its 400ma. I believe that the Dow30 leads the market slightly ahead of everything else and when the Dow gets a daily candle sell signal (like it did yesterday), the other indexes will follow a day or two later. I could be off on this, but I have seen several other...

SP500 looks ok so far on the 5 minute chart, still above the 400ma (grey line) micro uptrend. [SP500, 2 days, 5 minutes, 400ma, pivot points]

OI, your right, on the 5 minute candle chart, the Dow closed right on the 400ma. [Dow30, 2 days, 5 minute candles, 400ma, pivot points] ________________________________________________________________________ Closing daily charts for Dow30 & SP500 for Wednesday 8/22/18. The Dow30 closed...

OI, it will be interesting to see if the Dow30 bounces off the 400ma (grey line) or fails? [Dow30, 2 days, 5 minute candles, 400ma, pivot points]

From the standpoint of pure daily candlestick reading, this chart says we may take another brief pause. 4 candles up & the 4th has a serious topping tail (COG: Changing of the Guard). For that to happen, the SP500 has to close below today's low of 2861.32, as its a trigger for technical traders...

OI, SP500 just set a new all time high of 2873.23 (previous high 2872.87). Two questions: 1: Can it close above the old record? 2: Will we get a sell off from here? [SP500, 2 days, 5 minute candles, 400ma, pivot points]

So far today, the SP500 has come within 4 points of the record high (2872.87). [SP500, 2 days, 5 minute candles, 400ma, pivot points]

I agree with both sides of the day trader/swingtrader coin: [Day trader] Pro's: Out clean at the end of the day and can sleep at night. Con's: Hectic in & out of trades, watching the screens all day. [Swing Trading] Pro's: Set up your trade and let it Profit or Stop over the course of...

Ophir, its refreshing to see an advisory service use a reasonable profit goal of 40%. It took me my first 9 years (of the last 20 years) of option trading to figure out that it is better to take a modest profit goal over and over again, then shoot for moon on every trade. Over the long term...

There is the SP500 bounce near the 400ma (grey line) micro trend. [SP500, 2 days, 5 minute candles, 400ma, Pivot Points]

SP500 closed above the 400ma yesterday and today it will be interesting to see if the convergence of Pivot Support Level 1 (red line) and the 400ma contain retracement. [SP500, 2 days, 5 minute, 400ma, pivot points]

OI your right, with earnings over, the tariffs and the turkish problem, there isn't any real reason for the markets to continue upward until the next earnings season. [Dow 30, 3 months, daily candles, 50dma (blue line), 200dma (violet line)]...

OI, today on the 5 minute candle micro trend chart, the SP500 didn't close above its declining 400ma (grey line). [SP500, 2 days, 5 minute candles, 400ma, Pivot Points] __________________________________________________________________________ On the daily candle chart, the SP500 is back...

OI, did you average down yesterday on AMZN?
