Yes and no - some drama here. The trade should be here but
it's not showing up on Tradestation. The reason why is
because TS and Stockcharts are showing a funky candlestick with a
crazy spike low. See images. That spike causes the
trade not to appear on the chart, HOWEVER once the candlestick is
fixed and that spike taken away it should show back up. Never
saw this before, so it's a bit odd.
Because of this - use your discretion if you want to enter or
not.
This weird candle also shows on Stockcharts - see the second
image where I show the daily chart of SPY as well as the 5 min, the
daily shows a spike $10 lower than the 5 min, it's BS
That crazy spike is called a STOP RUN. One of the humongous
hedge funds bought all the sell stops between the projected close
and some spot below the 200-day avg., then sold them at/near the
real close. The fund pocketed a $zillion; the rest of us
bupkus.
Yes and no - some
Possible SPY System long entry today
