We're all watching 2955 so with a 30-40 gap opening Monday will
surpass that! 15 out 17 days now 30+point gaps. I have no interest
in trading overnight but I think most of my mistakes have been NOT
taking into account those big 'drops into support' zones are
happening many times on Globex to hit the targets then when normal
trading happens---notta! How many overnight sessions have we seen
the past month that were down 70-80-100 handles only to gap up the
next day? Very frustrating for those who don't trade minis or do
options. Gamechanger for sure!
profmel -yes markets gap all the time now, in fact big gaps are
just the new normal now.
anyway for myself - I take trades on ES or MES all the time in
the evening - whenever I see my trusty abc pullbacks after an
initial up move for a long, or a short if it's an abc move after an
initial down move.
Otherise I'll be going over this Trend type daily strategy with
rules I look at. I'll show you some simple tricks such as how
I use 60 and 34 length Stochasics buy very low risk areas and other
things. Otherwise despite the gaps, otherwise the daily trends
still are really unaffected. Now if you are trading short term then
yes
otherwise today Friday, I like to work on systems on these type
of days. And for my trading I'm simply buying small abc pullbacks
on 5, 3, 2, 1 min ES charts.
here's a couple things I use to buy a simple pullback - 60
length and 34 length Stochastics: as you know when trending over
50% market is uptrending. During corrections many times you get
pullbacks where the 60 or 34 Stochastic comes down and kisses the
50% area, I call it a 50% Kiss buy signal. you buy the
reversal bar up where %K crosses over %D and you place your stop at
the previous candle low.
and another example identifying ABC pullback in the market - use
a 60 Stochastic - see the last two images, typically it will have 3
waves down, then once it has C move down, buy the %K crossing over
the %D with stop at the previous candle low
those are some rules on the Trend system to get back in early.
Also methods like that are fractal work on any time frame
here's some early beta images of the daily DVT daily trend type
system where it can do entries and not just DVT stops.
Currently I have the very oversold condition working that I
showed the other day - so you can see the buy signal on Mar 25th,
and 2009 lows etc via the dotted green line - that's drawn in
automatically by the indicator system.
Currently I'm working on adding the 60 and 34 Stochastic buy
signals in as well - that won't be added until next week.
It's complicated but coming along, still a LOT to do, and
everything I have the programmer add some new logic rules seems
like something else breaks, so it's a lot of back and forth getting
all the rules added over time, checking, fixing bugs, then adding
new stuff
