KCalhoun- I could see taking a long position on the Vix here. Check out the 30 min charts. Ascending bumps with the (just below) 50ma as support.. trigger on fast stochastic cross above the 20. Or when it trips over the 50ma(which would probably trigger at the same time anyhow). Climbing atr. That’s what I’m reading.


Also, a scathe pattern on the 5 min spx chart dating back to 2/16.. also the start of the vix bumps. I’m hedged short/profit taking- still net long. Gains need to be consilidated at some point(which may or may not be now- daily volume is a good tell).

Fair enough.. similar to reverse Adam and Eve. Upside down cup and handle dilly-ish. The word scathe means only 1 thing. Look at the 5 minute on the date I mentioned. If you don’t see a scathe, I don’t know how I can help.

Learn something new all the time.

Though I am a lost cause because I think patterns, other than price action and EW waves, suck.

BTW got a book on patterns years ago (Trade Charts Pattern like the Pros by a fellow TradeStation user Suri Duddella who knows that chit top to bottom) - neither are in it, but as I say it doesn't mean much to me one way or the other.
 
I’m not trying to convert anyone. We do what works for us. It looks like tomorrow am *might be the trigger I describe.

You mentioned EW. I’m looking for an ABC with downside potential to 3200 :o

it's interesting that the S&P pattern from today looks identical to that of yesterday. On a 2-day chart it's still in a slight downtrend. As far as inverses go, small-cap TZA is the strongest, SQQQ and SDOW are in the middle, and UVXY weakest. I've got small positions in all, it'll be interesting to see which ones move earlier. SOXS, the semiconductor inverse, has also been strong the past couple of days.
