Posted 7:01 a.m. The day began with a gap below yesterday’s close and 4 consecutive bear trend bars. However, the tails were prominent and there was a lot of overlap, and limit order bulls were able to make money twice in the 1st 5 bars. This increases the chances that this is a bear leg […]

Day trading tip is to expect profit taking
Posted 7:02 a.m. The Emini rallied for the 1st 3 bars and then had 2 big dojis. This is disappointing price action, and it increases the chances of a trading range day, like Friday. Today might trade both above and below Friday. If this opening rally continues, it will probably be a bull leg in […]

Learn how to trade climactic price action
Posted 7:00 a.m. The Emini broke above yesterday’s 2 hour trading range, but a trading range late in a bull trend, especially one with a lot of bear bodies, is usually the final bull flag.

Learn how to day trade a buy climax top
Posted 6:54 a.m. The early selloff made it likely that the 2 hours of sideways to down trading that I was expecting has already begun and that today will not have early follow-through buying.

Learn how to trade the markets after a buy climax
Posted 7:15 a.m. Yesterday was in a bull channel, but it contained mostly small overlapping dojis, which means that it was probably going to be a bull leg in a trading range.

Learn how to day trade an expanding triangle
Posted 6:54 a.m. Although today gapped above last yesterday’s high and traded above last week’s high, it opened with a tight trading range and small bars. This makes it likely to have limited upside.

Bullish price action for online day traders
Posted 7:02 a.m. The Emini broke above yesterday’s high, triggering the High 1 buy setup on the daily chart, but because the 5 day rally was climactic, the Emini might need to pull back and form a High 2 buy setup before it can have its 3 – 5 day rally. The 1st 4 bars […]
