SPY still consolidating 

SPDR S&P 500 ETF TRUSTArca

Description

Good, now come back down and continue your consolidating work.

It's one option to trade inside the triangle, that shooting star does make a decent reversal candle for its location & big volume. The other option is to sit on hands, or sell some calls.
If the price breaks below 198.5, SPY can easily move back down to 196, 194, then around 192.

To me it's a no go because of poor RR ratio.
Great setup, poor RR = no go.

Hint: You wanna compare the chart with Jan. 2008 which ended up a bearish market. Also compare with Aug. 2011 which ended up continuing the bullish trend. You'll find them interesting... :)

Plan ahead and trade your plan. Happy trading to all!
