Rick’s Dark Chart

✅ Today let’s look at my dark chart. The dark chart has three trend lines the 3-EMA (Magenta) and the T-Line (8-EMA with Green/Red Dots). As you can see 👀 four candles ago the dots went from green to red and the Magenta line (3-EMA) crossed below the T-Line (Red/Green Dots). Both the 3-EMA and the T-Line have also crossed below the 17-EMA (Yellow), all this with price action leading the way. The last meaningful time this happened was around October 5, 2018, and the SPY corrected about 20%. 👼 The trend is your friend, and this little 3-moving average trick might help you find a good friend. When all three moving averages are in the bear position, we might look for a weak or failing relief rally to short. And when all three moving averages are in the bull position, we might look for minor profit taking PBO’s to go long. Always looking at price action and support.

🎯 I use 3 of the best tools in the world for trading stocks and options. 👉TC2000 for charting, 👉LTA-Live Trading Alerts for real-time price action, candle and candle patterns, and western patterns. 👉TradeHawk for placing the trades. Crazy enough, not one of them are expensive.

👍 A good tool improves the way you work. A great tool improves the way you think. – Jejj Duntemann

Who Poked the Bear?

✅ As expected price broke through the lower T-Band, now headed from the 50-SMA. The Bearish Engulf on 5/1/2019 poked the bear, and now for the past five days, the bear has, well, being a bear. After the Bearish Engulf, we saw follow-through then a failed high, followed by a lower low and yesterday has now made a lower low. Lower lows and lower highs suggest there are more sellers than buyers. The LTA Scanner 👉 has been alerting of the bear poking with the following alerts. (Bearish Engulf), (Bear High Yesterday or Today in T-Bands Now Below) (Bear T-Line Band Breakdown). And the (Bear 3×8 Trap). The VXX has been full of fear the past 3-days, no an RBB setup. The VXX has also alert on the LTA scanner as it broke through the T-Line and T-Line Bands. Todays Challenge will be to monitor today’s candle (price action) using the current trend and yesterdays candle as a backstop.

Did The SPY Recover?

What a nice recovery in the SPY yesterday opened at $289.24 and closed at $292.82, also closed back in the T-Line Bands. Yesterday’s price action tested and bounced off the March 8, trendline. Here are a few of my concerns, May 1 was a Bearish Engulf with follow-through, then a challenge that failed and then there’s yesterday’s new low. So have a high/ low – lower high/ and a lower low. A close below the May 3, trendline and below yesterday’s low could trigger a bit more selling. No doubt yesterday’s candle (price action) was impressive but, it’s the following days that need follow-through that makes us money. THE VXX chart did close over the T-Line Bands and is in trend position to create a bullish pattern. Let’s all exert a little caution!

💰Yesterday we added to our SBUX trade on the pullback and bought ORCL. Both of these trades came from the LTA Alert Scanner Alerts

✅ 💰 Here are eleven tickers I am adding to a watchlist for consideration only. Trades may or may not be taken. VXX, SQQQ, XBI, SPXS, OLLI, ABT, SPXS, MJ, OECL, SBUX, AIG, GS.

So That’s How It Feels

So that’s how it feels when the DOW drops 500 points on a Sunday night. Sure glad we use Fridays as a day to delete a little of our inventory. If a trader has been following a T-Line strategy, you would have been making money from the first pullback after the December low. Overall a gap down this morning should not affect the portfolio that much. Yes, there may be some losses taken today but not to the extent of the gains the past 4-months. My plan of action today is brewed a cup of coffee and pick up a box of donuts on the way to work. Manage the positions I have to take a few profits/losses maybe. But the last thing I am going to do is buy new positions without the proper chart set up or because of desperation. Its times like this that your business decisions are the most important and your trading is your business. $287.00, $284.75, $281.75 will be important price targets for the bears to capture and the bulls to defend.

✅ Profitable trading takes time and education, and a trader must have the proper tools. Hope to see you in the trading room and our educational workshops.

✅ 💰 Because of the pre-market price action, we will wait for the market to settle and the LTA Scanner alerts for trade ideas.👇

Bearish Engulf Follow-Through?

The SPY printed a Bearish Engulf yesterday after making a new high, and the VIX closed over $14.25. I have mentioned in the trading room we should be concerned if the VIX can close over $14.25. Yesterday ended the T-Line Run streak by price closing below the T-Line. If you use the Red/Green alert T-Line you know that is has turned Red, follow through on price will drag the 3-EMA below the T-Line causing a 3×8 trend to start. Price action, trend and support will be very important in the next few days. If we see weakness and follow-through on the bearish engulf I suspect $288.40 could get tested. Of course, the bulls could eat a Snickers Bar and bring us back, a close over $293.40 might bring the die-hard bulls back in the game. Yesterday going into the close we bought IWM puts, Double Top, Evening Star, 2-day Bearish Engulf, Price closing below the T-Line and the 3-SMA following. We also bought VXXB long ending the day with 21%

Just Another FOMC Day

A typical FOMC day is usually dreary until the Fed decisions come out in the early afternoon. Before the FED decision, everyone scramble for a position and changes their mind 2-3 times while sitting on the edge of their seat. Stay calm and have a slice of pie is what I plan to do. It really is pretty simple, if the Fed news is to risky think about cash or nearly cash. If you are comfortable with your positions and they have proper stops sit back and enjoy the pie. And never forget you don’t have to trade every day and never trade out of desperation. THE SPY CHART had a hard morning yesterday thanks to GOOG, but by the end of the day the SPY came back above our T-Line making it 23 days that price has closed above the T-Line, (what a nice run). The bears are always sitting on the edge waiting for a sign to pounce on the bull in a bullish trend, and we will also be alerted with price action and candlesticks formations. Good trading traders!

✅ The following are eleven trade ideas I am adding to my watch-list for consideration over the next few days. CMRE, PG, JNJ, ADSK, ACN, ORCL, UNP, CSX, ECL, BMO, CCK

Bullish T-Line Run

GOOG was spanked last night at the earnings party, and the FNGU has dropped $2.00 in the aftermarket. I suspect today will a nail-biting day for some and others dance in the street. The difference is how the trade plans, quality of charts and allotment size that makes the difference. Either way, the SPY closed good, now 22 days in a Bullish T-Line Run. Yesterday’s close was in the form of a small-bodied candle and a small wick/shadow on top so we could see a little profit taking in the market today. Above $291.35 I will view a bullish and below not so much. Above $291.35 keep price above the 4/17 bearish engulf candle that the 4/23 candle broke out of. We close out our BAC trade for a cool 30%; we entered the trade because we liked the chart after the LTA Scann alerted us a 3×8 Trap Scan and it was a T-Band Breakout.

Crazy Wall of Worry

The Wall of Worry can make for crazy trading days and days of boredom as we have seen in the past few weeks. Friday was the 21st day the SPY has closed over the T-Line which suggest the market is happy with last weeks round of earnings. Today is the start of another full week of earnings and the sane can be applied. Each day we will have earnings and each day we will monitor price action and where it is in relationship to the T-Line. If the price closes below the T-Line but closes in the band, consolidation, and opportunity maybe around the corner. Closing below the bands altogether puts the sellers in the driver seat, and we may have to alter our direction. Let’s keep watch on the VIX- chart; price is curtly flirting with the 200-SMA on the 15-min chart, And the 200-SMA is tilted upwards because of the big move the VIX- did a few bars back.

📽 In my youtube channel, you will find hundreds of videos. It’s free and can be very educational. I hope you take some time and look them over.
