Opportunity to short S&P 500 Short

S&P 500SP

Description

Every one on the Street talks about incoming crisis and 5%+ downtrend for main US indexes. I suppose every trader should use such opportunities and open corresponding short positions.

What we have for S&P today? 2017 and January 2018 made it extremely overbought - RSI was on 86, the last time we saw these levels during 1980 rise, and it was followed by 21% correction. Bad news from Apple (3.5% of the whole S&P) and unjustified tax expectations made the trend line breakout, with a wide gap. RSI has approved the signal by breaking through 70 (the most reliable RSI signal). Combing these factors all together I see a safe trade opportunity and open a short position.

The best tactic for TPs is to close step by step. I am going to do it in three steps, as I show on the graph. I also put my SL very closely, because we still have a bull market, and I don't want to take additional, very possible risks.
