Dow Intraday Charts 20 Sept - 24 Sept

3 pk positive divergance on slow stochs and RSI.

shouldnt, stress, shouldnt, fall too much further.
 
probably my imagination, but volume seems to be picking up.
dow at 10,128-33 on d4f.

Is this the botom, and now upwards ??
 
dont ask me, im crap at forecasting....

looking for 10,200 by the close / a close above the day's midpoint..


hmmm..
 
I do declare - the upward move may have started !!
I am at break-even with the dow at 10,139-44 on d4f.

broadsword will be b/e soon.

next stop 10,200 ??
another 45 mins to the 7pm kick
 
stopped out at 10,105. for -34 points.

CANT BELIEVE I WAS TRADING WHAT I THINK, WHEN I COULD SEE THE DOW DROP !!!

Chuffin' eck !!
 
10,131 is break-even...

looks like the 7pm reversal is kicking in......


not confident until i see what happens when the bond markets shut at 8pm.....

Hi

Been out of action for 2 days with dead hard drive and other PC problems :(

Back now though :).... don't get rid of me that easy. he he!

Home after 5:0pm to see very negative sentiment. +-15 rules were abandonded more or less. Having missed the big move in the 1st few hours I was looking for shorting opportunities and decided that the ema touch at A would do. The move up never really bothered me and if it had gone any higher, to 100ema +15, I had left in an order to add to the short. Never happened though. Closed a bit early at B for +19. I was looking for another entry and decided the market had now turned sideways at C and decided a long would be a safe bet but it was a bit late in the day so I took the December price. Not looking too good at the moment with 10100 looking in danger of breaking. Stop is below 10080.

+19 today.

Regards

Bill :)

Note: Capital Spreads simulator prices traded were below the Dow cash price today in case you think they look a little odd.


+-15 ema Rules are

1. Short if price crosses 100ema and touches/crosses 100ema+15
2. Long if price crosses 100ema and touches 100ema-15.
3. Short if nd and/or price is 100ema +15 [or v close]
4. Long if pd and/or price is 100ema -15 [or v close]
5. Don't trade in the 1st hour
6. Stop losses above/below obvious SR

Note the calculation of T1 ignores the gap at the open..... Note also the sucessive failures of the PD's- the market only wants down...... The OS CCI signalled the bottom for sure, and 10 below T1. Not a signal to go long. 132 did us no favours today either....

How on earth did that come about?

A delayed reaction to Big Al’s efforts yesterday CM, I suspect – he likes to test his tanking abilities on a regular basis……. :(

(profit warnings and oil $ don’t help either imho)

Strange widths on the day breaks.Is that a glitch with Sierra or does someone know a fix?....

Version 52 SierraCharts recently released and ready for download – my chart for the same period is ok

Regards..

ps - there's a list of the upgrades functions/glitches on http://sierrachart.com/new.html

Nope, Ver. 52 makes no difference..... no mention of it in the version releases either.
 
Correction - my 15min chart has the same problem on max view - but the problem disappears when you zoom in a bit.........

pass...... :confused:
 
Jeez - at last we get a big trending day but a minor family accident (nothing serious thankfully) left me literally holding the baby and unable to trade. I hope I would have found a decent place to go short but the repeated PDs would probably have played havoc with my emotions!

Let's hope we are going to start getting some action now.

Wednesday

Hi,
Just a quick note to admit my failings!

Wednesday was NOT a good day for me.

I know not to but still tried to catch that falling knife. Must remember, the trend has stopped (but for how long?) when the 30 ema crosses the 100 ema on 5 / 10 minute charts for my purposes.

Reminds me of the adage ... keep it simple, stupid.

Anyway, after being up +214 from Monday and Tuesday, I'm now underwater -168 for 7 positions.

You don't make a loss until you close and it's not over till the fat lady sings ... but I'm not a happy chappy.

MA volume analysis says up, today / tomorrow / early next week (thanks for the timing guys!); EW says wave count finished so up. My gut say up today / tomorrow. I think TA says up but you'll know TA better than I.

So, I'm staying in; I see a low potential at 10070, with target upside around 240, 260, 280.

Good luck to everyone today.

Regards,

Graham.
