Done for today

20240212 pre market



News
Several fed speakers!

Condition
Market is otf up on all timeframes

What to stay away from
1) Do not fight the otf, do not anticipate liquidation
2) If you want to buy, buy breaks, do not be the laggard

I could have imagined more traction on the short-side as they started to liquidate, but they did not continue
Staying objective we have to say: We are still otf up on the daily

20240213 pre market



News
price index coming in a bit higher

Condition
We open with a huge gap down
Gap takes out 3 days of risiing prices, closes the up-gap, falls below monthly vwap

What to stay away from/thoughts
I have no idea what will develop from this gap
A quick liquidation? A bigger liquidation? Buyers coming in buying this?

Overnight inventory is short
We are coming in near the lows
I do not follow large gaps early
Check volatility and size

Have a look how the open (yellow line) was a good line in the sand today

News
-

Condition
Strong pullback in M-period that continues in the on session
We open with a small gap up

What to stay away from / thoughts
If we see acceptance above y range there could be more buying
If we see acceptance in y range there could be a continuation of selling pressure or some Balance
Yesterday sellers became clearly visible relatively late (with the "roll over" in E-period)

20240214 post market



trades 0214



I was maximum bullish at the white ellipse
We filled the gap (which also was vwap) and then showed strength
But the market made one big hook in c,d,e,f and shook people out
I donīt know if that was by design, news driven or both :-)

I called it a day early as i felt that it is too wild/random/indecisive

Trading is very timeframe dependent. Sometimes your timeframe benefits sometimes it would habe been better to be a bit smaller or bigger in timeframe. For me the most relevant trading timeframes are
  1. Scalp
  2. Day-Swing-Trade
  3. Overnight Swing-Trade (maximum 2-3 days)

I mostly operate in no 2, sometimes no 1.
At the moment i do not take overnight trades

20240215 pre market



News
fed speakers ...

Condition
For now the market seems to stabilize after that rough dip
We had very volatile intraday movements in both directions the last two days

We had a spike up yesterday
The on session traded within or above that spike and we open near rth h

What to stay away from / thoughts
I would be careful with shorts unless we see a clear sell off
If we continue with strenght pullbacks are buyable

trades 0215



volume peak 15



Done for today with target at virgin poc
That was a great buying opportunity in that context
These AMT sayings are very powerful. In that case: Sometimes markets have to break before they can rally
Chart would look better if i would not have let me shaken out in that last trade
