NAZ with U Turn at the BOX Bottom. On a Friday, Options Expiration and the lift takes care of the weekly loss. Eight sessions and NAZ has been in 400 point Box. Long Term Channel is lower and has NAZ at Channel Top (4HR Below), notice the Stoch in Mid (not great).

4HR Chart

YTD Daily
This one is looking at 12,000 at upper target

Monday play may be, NAZ drops back between 2 yellow lines, sideways and break out with white or yellow arrow. TLX at 11835 (reversal target) and TLX at 11170 (Strong Long).

Note: For those that follow, after 3 years and nearly 500 Daily TV Post's, I will be ending the Daily Forecast & Intraday free service. I am moving to a private service that will use TradingView Charts, including my IDS Indicators. Message me if you have interest. I will continue some usual post's through the end of January or so, until new program is ready. Thanks for following and all your support.
Comment:
Recent pattern, EKG looking Stoch/lift is usually followed with Scalp Drop Trade. 11500 is estimate here. With O/N being next session, this may get pushed up even higher so wait or look Long, Stall and Drop.
Comment:
Last week had 3 major moves that generated 1,000 points. On the week the NAZ was flat. The NAZ will have a Major move day in the next few sessions and I would expect that this will most likely happen in the O/N just after a Tech Fang Earnings Report. Last week appears to be the Drop/Test that I had been mentioning. Look Long at strange times such as O/N, Dead Zone, Weekends, Holidays, basically any strange time of day when you would least expect it. These will offset the Open session selloffs.
Comment:
Something that I have been testing, pretty reliable. IDS50 system.
LONGS: When Stoch is above 50% and price is near or above Thick white MA, stay long and place a stop under Blue Pivot value. Both MA's should be white and take profit upper peak stall as price will usually come back to MA.
Shorts: White MA's turn Red and Stoch is under 50%. Take profit near 1st blue value, under Red MA after MA retest.
Reversing: Price will usually switch to Long trade when Stoch is above 50% and Red lines turn White.
IDS50 is late entry as compared to IDS20, more reliable and less noise or false moves. Good luck and let trades run. Best trades are at Stoch 0%, 50% and 100%. Depending on Long or Short trade. I will provide this and other IDS settings to any members of new private system. Until, you can see how it plays out in the days ahead. Review prior post's, only miss was halfway through Friday. I was using IDS20. Depending on the day, IDS20 will work better than IDS50 and vice versa.
Comment:
KL's (key levels) for Monday and start of week. Yellow's Weekly POC, Grey's Mid of prior daily 1st30m and Yellow dash Daily ending POC.
Comment:
O/N into Open Drive potential plays. Most likely white arrow as Stoch will need to drop some. Either way, these two KL's will most likely be hit by 9AM CT.
Comment:
IDS20 Short with Stop above Blue value, most likely trying for Pivot 11575. Bounce off white line IDS20 (11648) may try for 11720. This is where IDS20 is early signal to IDS50. Anyway, Short from Blue value 11686 is in the money for now. Scalping is any trade until break out. Back in morning.
Comment:
Just no movement in O/N lately, very odd. Then when does is usually up.
Comment:
Flat and not much movement to evaluate. NAZ did try for 11720 after after 11650 hit, mentioned earlier. This is how you need to see/plan the price action and pick out the trades. Here I see not much as we get near Open and some release of various pre open. The "air pocket" (left circle) sticks out like a "turd in a punch bowl". This may be retested prior to next attempt higher.
Comment:
Diagonal TL Is developing (white), yellow TL is support and yellow line is Long above and potential Short below. Depending the the turd strength. Hard to trade anything that moves like a snail. So the snail speed does not match up with Friday's bounce. Friday may have been all option's expiration related movement. This week may be all O/N earnings related 2 minutes blast's up/down depending on each report.
Comment:
11720 60 stall or reject will bring NAZ back to white arrow. No Hold will go to 11600ish. O/N range usually is retested during Open Drive (1st 30M). 100 point moves continue, 11720 - 11620 is idea for Long set up or Short drop.
Comment:
Trade here was short at 11720 and add at 11703 add. Scalp.
Comment:
11825 is resistance
Comment:
May retest top 1st 30m
Comment:
12000 is Fib Level. May go there.
Comment:
Today is moving to target of a turn, doubt it get's through Fib and yellow line above without major pull back.
Comment:
NAZ will move another 100 or more in either direction from the 11930 level. POC is here and may rotate around 50 on both side prior to move.
Comment:
NAZ is 50 points above upper Long Target. I was not looking Long today, however we are above the target and would expect a pull back.
Comment:
1st sign of short trade is no pass at 49, the 57.
Comment:
Short may be decent Pull to 11900, 11880. May bounce and reverse to Long on hold.
Comment:
Strong Short is no pass at 12000
Comment:
Can play Long to levels if you want.
Comment:
IDS50, pretty wide distance, usually will pull back near or to.
Comment:
11980 is Fib Level.
Comment:
50 above POC, may drop now.
Comment:
Rejected at Fib
Comment:
11957 is KL
Comment:
Should drop under 11940
Comment:
11800 is target. Next 100 may be lower. Only play since missed short. Short at 11980, Scalp.
Comment:
KL is Key Level.
Comment:
Best trades are at KL in opposite direction at rejection.
Comment:
NAZ up 500 in past 2 days. Drop offset is likely.
Comment:
Comment:
Stall here and down we go. Stop at 11985
Comment:
Adding 5 short near/under 11980 or 60 on way back down. Stop at 11985. Edge Trade here.
Comment:
If you want to post trades, do so but prior to move. I would love to sit back and just press buttons. Nobody would have a problem with that, at all.
Comment:
11940retest, lower stop.
Comment:
11900 next, lower stop
Comment:
dropping 5 for 250 points 11902 hit
Comment:
11824 is Top 1st 30 Minute, likely. May bounce.
Comment:
11940 retest and lowered stop from 980
Comment:
11923 is POC, 50 radius.
Comment:
passing radius going to 11825
Comment:
Closing 5 at 11880 plus 500
Comment:
Flat looking for bounce at 825 or above hold.
Comment:
Rigged
Comment:
11880 retest to 825 or back up.
Comment:
Long at 80 after retest from above.
Comment:
NAZ will not go quietly.
Comment:
Post prior to move, please, please, I am getting tired.
Comment:
So there is the next 100, lower and now back up.
Comment:
Chase ME, Mr BTD and I will drop again in final 2 minutes. Trail it, they will follow. You should have points to work with and may give some back. It is OK. No long if goes below 11860
Comment:
This is a Drop Test and a major one.
Comment:
Fake drop believe or not. Super powers. Circle is usually a BUY Zone. Problem is the Zone is wide. No Long yet, Shorting is only with Neg Ticks.
Comment:
Long stop at at 11870
Comment:
Move it up, going to POC.
Trade closed manually:
Prior to the move and we all can beat the Riggers. Final trade for me and will let it run or get stopped. POC is Point of Control. 11923
Comment:
Comment:
As long as NAZ stays above 11870 ish, should be fine. 11894 is KL
Comment:
94 needs to bounce, this is stop clean out looking. This is why I rarely trade the close or final 30m, too whippy and they play games.
Comment:
See how went to, below and now back up from 94, games.
Comment:
Target is POC or Blast rally that should go near top and into O/N.
Comment:
Comparer price action of prior move vs this close, terrible and the will fly in 1 direction in minutes.
Comment:
If anybody knows the close, post it now.
Comment:
Lines are tight and Stoch in middle, horrible with only 20 minutes to go. Flip a coin.
Comment:
Anyway 11980 will be retested now or in O/N. I use IDS50 POC.
Comment:
11926 is good, I will take it.
Comment:
100 point from 11861, recent low is most likely the close or next pivot in O/N.
Comment:
11926 Nailed it, will hold for 960-80 retest or get stopped.
Comment:
Program closed the Long at 3am Chicago, 11920. Did not get the Short.
