    cuqui69- I was hoping more of you would have taken note of the bearish patterns on XLE and OIH we were pointed out last week and on the weekend and on Monday, or bought some ERY because that sector looked like an easy short vs waiting for a system.  

    Otherwise if you were not in it, I'd avoid chasing it now - looks bounce to a resistance level or allow the indicators to get overbought on time frames that you are monitoring such as 60 min charts etc

    again without knowing what kind of trader you are and experience it's hard to suggest exact triggers for you at this time.

    the reason i did not

    the reason i did not take it is because we could have had one more push higher!

    there was a slight chance

    there was a slight chance for that, but sectors can break down before the market, like the RUT and Semis did. Also XLE started to break a trendline on Tues, also I pointed on on Monday the low risk short on XLE based on the BPENER kissing the underside of the 9 EMA. Remember one can also scale into trades, here's that video from Tues where I discussed the BPENER testing the underside of the 9 EMA as a lower risk short

    anyway that is what makes a market and what makes trading difficult, the emotions and possibilities and there are many ways to trade a market depending on ones time frame and objectives.  

    Anyway don't worry about missing a trade, there will always be new trades, I am far from perfect and miss a lot of trades that I should catch.

    Matt I will do this

    Matt I will do this next time. Anyhow is there a short term bounce probably i will scale into it

    cuqui69...please don't try to time

    cuqui69...please don't try to time exact tops. Consider scaling into such positions. Does that make sense?

    OK steve! thanks
