Quote from coolweb:
I covered all,
strength coming into earnings,
Probably gap up tomorrow, who knows.
definately won't hold through earnings, no gambling here.
So saved
But it was an intersting play,
personally , I did not see $INDU flying up 200 points here today.
I was looking forward to further downtrend
But price action for GOOG on MONDAY (9-10:00 GAP UP) was a huge bullish sign AKA <b> Change of Trend </b>
I didn't know what will happen on TUESDAY/WEDNESDAY
I didn't even know YHOO was reporting today,
but price action usually tells us all this before it happens. (Insiders already know)
So as traders, one must forget the news and watch price action.
GOOG Will gap up on earnings as well 70% of that happening.
But you must also keep news in mind, so you don't really get surprised.
Be sure to automate your price action indicator, so you don't 2nd guess yourself.
People talking about oil, Iran, FOMC minutes, will find it hard being a consistent trader, because you are infused with multiple ideas.
You just need to know WHEN its happening, and then refer back to
ONE IDEA: your own custom price indicator.
