Description

NAZ rejected at Strong Sell Zone and back there now. The sellers in the zone will defend their turf. Today, Long on White and Short on Yellow. The lower white line is a lower target that I believe will need to be hit prior to a move through Box Top.

Comment

NAZ testing 12585 now, may not get passed 12615. If Not, look to Short the NAZ for morning Near Open or 1st 30M, slight drop/pop. The drop may go to 12525 - 00 level for test/bonce back up to Strong sell zone. The sellers in strong sell zone will return and push the NAZ back down, this is why I took the Close Trade with a Short, yesterday. However, the buyers may become stronger and the NAZ may get through. This is called trading, you need to execute the trade and let it fly. You will get an opportunity each way, both are correct. If you do not have bad trades, you are not trading enough.

Comment

Another Scalp Divergence Example, just look for these or project the next move based on Stochastic and Price Action position. Scalping effectively can generate more points each day than be 100% correct on each runner, in both directions. This is not possible and is "fools gold".

Comment

IDS 20, NAZ may try for 12500 at some point today. Needs to get passed 12600 - 25, if so then 12500 may be out until Dead Zone selloff.

Comment

5 Short at 12598, target 12550

Comment

NAZ will move, you decide direction. I am counter trend focused lately and playing move or the Snap or Flip.

Comment

Feeling move of Drop/Pop this morning. Stepping away and I have stop at 12630

Comment

As I stated NAZ did move at call of 12598 Short, 15 - 20 points Up. This is expected or you can take as Long. I feel the move coming and play the counter. The Drop will happen big soon as the 3-4 day grind is weakening. Do Not flip flop with your bias. Your 1st thought is usually the correct one.

Comment

Stopped at 12630 and back on at 12650.

Comment

Target hit at 12550 hold for more 12500

Comment

stop at 12650

Comment

Sellers are clearly in control at upper level mentioned.

Comment

Bottom 1st 30m hit.

Comment

Longs and short getting beat up, likely lower.

Comment

Closing at 12576

Comment

Back under curve, sideways in Dead Zone to lower.

Comment

Comment

Short developing, Under 12600

Comment

Need to see rally selling. Long is actually riskier as snap has not played out.

Comment

Shorting 5 at 12600 or near

Comment

Stop at 12620 or profit.

Comment

Snap or bust, my see some melt up. Low Grinder that may selloff.

Comment

Stepping away, NAZ needs to pass 12542

Comment

Short on at 12600 Stop moved to 12640 Break even.

Comment

Snap should play out to 12542

Comment

Stop at 12600

Comment

12542 hit, droping3

Comment

Closing 2 at 12528

Comment

Scalp Day and Rally selling is here.

Comment

12565 is Key Level for Next short or under. Stepping away and will scalp some.

Comment

Flat but you see the 65 stall. Next test.

Comment

Its like like walking up and down the stairs. 65 rejected needs to break 27

Comment

66 or 27 is next change.

Comment

Looks like rally SELLING is on ALGO's will follow or step in and it is 1 way.

Comment

The machines are locked. Do not fight this.

Comment

1 contract for 50 points or 5 for 10 points is 50. This is why I pick and choose and miss so much. Playing longer runs for 100 points is just not my style these days.

Comment

Now 12530 and under

Comment

Yellow arrow is the Selling Group that defended the level.

Comment

White is confirm and yellow are targets

Comment

Lower Fib Level hit, may want to close as NAZ may lift. Your call.

Comment

You can look Long at 12420 back to 12480

Comment

No trade call just Idea.

Comment

The Long trade is a retrace trap the will most likely sell back down. Use a stop if you take it.

Comment

Reason for 12420 Long, needs to play out or it will drop back under.

Comment

Scalp on previous and 12372 is next target and Outside day reversal

Comment

Long Trade at 12395

Comment

30 Top and let it run up 50 or so.

Comment

Stop hit look to reload

Comment

Reload the Long at 12370

Comment

NAZ should get back above 12373 for retrace trade 50 - 75 points back up.

Comment

1st target 12430

Comment

Stop at 12370 or entry. Let this run up some and trail.

Comment

Comment

Dip Buyers should show up, if they are serious.

Comment

73 is key, do not move stop, just reload.

Comment

Lat trade for me, 1 way NAZ is hard to trade. Thinking 2 way today after recent run up, then selloff.

Trade closed manually

Out, where are the buyers? Should go back up some.

Comment

NAZ got as low as 12350 Yellow Line (open drive) from a few days ago. Did now bounce to 12430. I would of stayed in, had some other distractions today. You can see the chart below and use of targets. Last trade sequence were just some try's as I believe the NAZ is changing direction and is why I have the Curve above.

Comment

Comment

Sellers that rejected the lift today.

respect you keep writing here and all I want to say is thank you no matter the outcome is good or wrong.
MAZing
@EasternSoros, Thank You.
semirazosman
Thanks @MAZing! I appreciate all the valuable information you give. I have been struggling with my STOPS and this week I learned a lot from you about putting stops and that losing is part of trading. Thanks for all you do and have a wonderful weekend!
jakslo23
No buyers, because this market is fully fake. I think we now go all the way back to 11600. The same way it grew on the invisible upward line, the same way it will now fall on a similar line, all due to the market being fake and decided by a few dudes.
MAZing
@jakslo23, Frustrating and hard to trade 1 way routes. It is so easy that it difficult as we are expecting some fight back. This is why I load up on sweet spots. Need to work on this.
jakslo23
@MAZing, yup, frustrating, but these dudes not gonna go anywhere, so if we want to trade and earn we need to follow this bs. I think it would be most efficient if you change your tactics, use the same indicators because they are great, but look for divergence points that align with the trend of the day, for example, we have bounced from a downtrend and you hunt where it will most probably end to join the trend - this would give much better rewards with less risk. Having said that I think now will be some bounce, or at least we are close to today's bottom.
jakslo23
@jakslo23, yup, that's the bounce, I would say it will go to 430 or so.
bonnenul
MAZing, How about next week ? Will naz up to 12800?
MAZing
@bonnenul, Most likely not.
jakslo23
Closed 650 short, expecting some bounce from sorry boys BTDs and reshorting.
