    Sounds like the market will either be up or down today. I bet one of those is right   

    This is the part that I always crack up at, nobody knows until it happens. All these guys on tv saying this, saying that, looking right one day, and/ or wrong another. Sometimes both on the same day. Totally worthless. 

    The only thing that matters is someone's personal plan in order that they don't get whipped by the noise. Staying focused on my plan.

    no man - it's not

    no man - it's not like we are saying the market will either go up or down like we are not saying anything.

    The market is at an inflection point!  Either this wave C is completing here and the market rallies hard. Or it begins a new hard leg trending move down - beginning a trending move, not some consolidation wave again - infection points are places where traders can place bigger bets with risk set

    we are waying it's AT AN INFLECTION POINT - that's useful, not some useless info that the market will go up or down come on

    the move should be a STRONG MOVE - not some consolidation move. these are areas where you look to place a trade with a tigher stop

    This is the information that

    This is the information that needs to be clear for me and is actionable aka "the takeaway":

    the move should be a STRONG MOVE - not some consolidation move. " these are areas where you look to place a trade with a tighter stop"

    Some may miss the point for planning purposes if it isn't stated like this. I know I did when I was newer to trading. I can still miss it if I'm not focused on where the market is and how my plan responds to that. Lots of distractions out here. 

    Thank you for sharing .

    I think that's quite evident if you examine the recent range which we have pointed out for the last several days.  I was one of the very few that presented a bullish option after yesterday's close.   Trade YOUR PLAN and don't worry about prognostications.   

    The VIX also supported a bounce with 5 waves down (from resistance pointed out in advance) followed by an abc bounce yesterday which supported a bounce.  With that being said, price is still within the recent range.

    Exactly, I ignore all of it other than my personal plan. I'm betting this conversation helped someone or more than one person today and that is a good thing. 

    yes follow your plan, but

    yes follow your plan, but also instead of worrying about BS - one could have bet set to play futures or UPRO after the report - that's what I did. With the 2 scenarios I favored the up move, but I didn't have any position overnight -after the report I entered both ES and UPRO at good prices

    you guys should have your own personal plans - what you pay us for is ideas and things you can possibly incorporate into your plan as well as trade ideas, market analysis, system trades etc - going into today was an obvious big inflection area and those present the best trading opportunities - not the consolidation days like we've had

    okay move on - let's see what goes on today

    Glad to hear it worked

    Glad to hear it worked out! I played it too. 

    We made it very clear

    Posted by matt on 6th of Jan 2023 at 08:45 am

    We made it very clear - Wed and especially yesterday when we shows the counts and patterns and said that this is an inflection point where the market either dumps hard or reverses hard and is a bear trap - which leaned more to.
