It took all day but the S&P 500 finally has broken below the NYSE opening price. That big gap? That was money made by overnight bots. Tonight we'll probably fill the gap back to Friday's close with a nice smooth overnight trend. Then tomorrow, ...

This is in my own account and not one of the prop accounts I am trading. This is short 1 little MES contract. Incide candle on the hourly chart, and the tick below the low of the inside bar was the open of the mother bar. Failed breakout of ...

"seems" and "expect" are subjective. My goal has always been to write rules based on the indi's I am using so I don't miss trades because the market "seems" about to do something or I take a trade I shouldn't have taken because I "expected " the ...

Had one been using the 34 ema, then this would not have been a long trade at all, but yet another short entry.

Tracking where the entry level would have to be placed. I would rather we see a red H-A trned candle print first, rather than enter with just the doji. The reason is that there is only 10 points between the current entry and yesterday's high. If I ...

So long as the short ema is > the long ema, and the long ema is trending higher with each candle, I would now be looking for long opportunities. I would wait for a pullback to the ema's and then use the bar status tool to set long entry buy stops ...

I am not married to any set of ema's. My only requirement for myself is to use a shorter ema and a longer ema, and use the longer ema for trend. Today, for example, I've been showing the NQ 21 renko H-A with 9 ema and 18 ema, a combination I have ...
