  • Trading Strategy: Trading Notes: It's the first of the month, and often times you get a decent rally on those days. Following back to back +3% rallies in the Nasdaq, chasing this market here is a high risk/low-reward endeavor. $SPX is down less than 6% on the year, and the question begs to be asked,

  • Trading Strategy: Trading Notes: Massive rally in the final 1.5 hours of trading on Friday. $SPX is showing some willingness to hold support off of the October lows.

  • Trading Strategy: Trading Notes: $SPY is attempting to hold the October 2020 lows for the fifth time this week. Right now I don't want to short anything in addition to the $TWM position that I already have, as a bounce remains in the cards  so long as those October lows continue to hold. If I do

  • Trading Strategy: This is a tricky open. For starters I don't want to chase price action to the downside with new bearish/short positions. Chasing 70 point gaps lower, gets complicated from reward/risk standpoint. Also, experience has taught me that shorting a 1-day bounce on $SPY is a dangerous move, as more times than not, the

  • Trading Strategy: Yesterday's reversal across the board in the stock market was one for the ages. Yesterday was the first signs of panic that I have seen in the market since the selling began earlier this month.

  • Trading Strategy: $SPY broke the rising trend-line on Tuesday and followed through on Wednesday by also breaking key price level support from previous all-time highs established in September. Now the next two support levels exists with the December lows and then October lows. Break the latter, and that is where real panic sets in.  Trading
