was a top , a bottom then a top and now another top, tops and bottoms are usuallly accompanied by large volume ,enough to turn the mrkt,..if i were long there i woulld love to unload ...creating resistance..trading 101
Yes, but why did it reverse exactly at 807 and not at, say, 803 or 812--which is where the previous support (now resistance) and the gap is, respectively? I'm of the opinion that prices don't EVER move in random. If you look hard enough, there's always a "concrete" (that is, not subject to ambiguity) reason for a reversal.

But thanks for your insight. :)

I am still trying to figure out why 807 was the turning point. Could it be that the trannies ran out of gas slightly ahead of 808?

It's been said that the market has difficulty in reaching long-side targets in a bear market.

We are still in a bear market...

after exp ,its hard to use tl's on new front month,better off using several indexes ,spx ,spy and djt are not futures so lines work more accurately on them
Your point is well taken, but I too have been trading for some time and exp has rarely ever made much impact on the futures (as far as I can tell). Seriously, I normally wouldn't raise so much ruckus over a few insignificant points before a reversal but this has been going on for some time long before exp and I'm getting unnerved by it. Is the market that I knew for the last 20 years changing? :eek:

Some of us live and breathe (as well as $hit) this stuff. Pun fully intended. :D

Just because we're in a bear market does not mean PA goes haywire. As I said above, prices don't just fluctuate solely based on traders' whims. These traders buy and sell at particular price levels.

because of the above mentioned gentleman who NEVER sleep, this journal is my first choice for reading/follow along material to help build a base for the feel of trading/confidence as they bring a lot to the table for a newbie like me. keep up the good work - great job!

807.25 was a Fib extension level off of the week's opening range (i.e. Monday's range). The other side of the range is 763.25, right around an open gap.
 
77-81 is becoming critical support. If we blow through that I see March 13 and 17 lows coming into play, 39-46 in the next day or so. This afternoon's action has me thinking sooner than later.

Here's what I was looking at.

Quote from Anna K.:

MandelbrotSet, thank you for the reply.

Do you ever post your trades here? Not trying to question you or stir up a fight here, just wondering because live trades is a good window into somebody's trading methodology.
I have before but don't do it anymore. I've also made live calls and post blotters on other threads that I had an interest in supporting

Posting live trades on the board is good if you want company while trading or if you have something that you want to prove-out, otherwise I don't see much point to it.

If you're good a side effect of it is that you get a lot of PMs, and I've discovered through experience that I don't much like playing guru or sharing detailed info that it's taken me years to figure-out and put together.
***
As far as learning anything from someone's live calls, I agree, you can learn some things if someone posts for a long-time and gives some insight into what they are watching to help them make their trading decisions.

Good trading
