Emini and Forex Trading Update:
Tuesday October 8, 2019<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I will update again at the end of the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pre-Open market analysis<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

After 2 buy climax days, yesterday was likely to have a lot of trading range price action. The Emini rallied for a few hours and then reversed down below the open. Yesterday is therefore a sell signal bar for today. But after last week’s 2 strong bull days, there will probably be more buyers than sellers below yesterday’s low.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Emini oscillated around the August ledge top today. That means it is still important. It might oscillate more around it for a few days. However, the odds favor at least a small 2nd leg up after last week’s bear trap and strong reversal up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overnight Emini Globex trading <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The Emini is down 18 points in the Globex session. Today will probably gap down. Since Friday gapped up, there would then be a 2 day island top after last week’s 2 day island bottom. Island tops and bottoms are minor reversal patterns. This is especially true when they come in the middle of a trading range, like the one on the daily chart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With all of the trading range price action on the daily chart, day traders expect continued trading range price action on the 5 minute chart. That means that there will likely be at least one swing up and one swing down today. Also, there is an increased chance of several swings and a trading range day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yesterday’s setups<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Emini<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Here are several reasonable stop entry setups from yesterday. I show each buy entry with a green rectangle and each sell entry with a red rectangle. I rarely also show limit order entries and entries on the close of bars. Buyers of the Brooks Trading Course and Encyclopedia of Chart Patterns have access to a much more detailed explanation of the swing trades for each day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My goal with these charts is to present an Always In perspective. If a trader was trying to be Always In or nearly Always In a position all day, and he was not currently in the market, these entries would be logical times for him to enter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

EURUSD Forex market trading strategies<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"EURUSD<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The EURUSD daily Forex chart has reversed up for 6 days from the bottom of a wedge bear channel. The rally so far lacks consecutive big bull bars closing near their highs. Consequently, the reversal is weak. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The EURUSD is now testing the 20 day EMA. The bears expect the rally to be like all of the other rallies over the past 2 years and form a lower high and then lead to a new low. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

While they are probably right, there is no top yet. Furthermore, the prior lower highs are magnets above. Also, sometimes a 200 – 300 pip rally begins slowly like this and suddenly accelerates up. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally, the rally is so close to the top of the channel that the EURUSD will probably get there. It can get there by going sideways or up. The next resistance is the September 13 lower high, which is only about 100 pips above. It is therefore within reach. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unless the bears get a strong sell signal bar or a big reversal down, the odds favor at least a test of the top of the bear channel. But even if the rally continues up to the September or August highs, traders expect the pattern of lower highs and lows to continue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overnight EURUSD Forex trading<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The EURUSD 5 minute chart has been in a 50 pip range for 4 days. Day traders are therefore looking for small reversals and scalping for 10 pips. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is no sign that this is about to end. But 4 days is a long time for a tight trading range. Consequently, traders expect a breakout this week. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The bars on the daily chart are small and have prominent tails. Also, there have been many reversals over the past month. Therefore, a breakout on the 5 minute chart will probably not get very far. Until there is a strong breakout up or down, day traders will continue to scalp.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Summary of today’s S&P Emini futures price action and what to expect tomorrow<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

End of day summary<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The Emini gapped down and created a 2 day island top. After a reversal up to a new high today, the Emini reversed down to a new low. It closed on its low, erasing much of last week’s rally. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The bulls need a reversal up and a buy signal bar tomorrow. If not, then the 2 day rally will have been simply a pullback from last week’s selloff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
