hey guys we are officially oversold.
$NYMO McClellan Oscillator = -304.69.
-250 or below means oversold
remember oversold can get more oversold. does NOT mean to buy now, only means not to start NEW shorts. keep current shorts and trail

Post a pic of your charts... let me just see...

Yeah, the breakdown is in motion. On a LT chart, SPX target is at 1346 before confluence of 2 fibs. And oversold RSI.

Let's look for a reversal signal... but do remember that equities have been uncorrelated with anything else for the past month or so. I'm going to see if HA flattens out with Friday's assumed holiday rally start... looking for that dead and blue HA candle.

Remember holiday rally is just a statistic and 80% hitrate. Doesn't have to happen. Should only consider it if other indicators confirm it.

This is for nat gas, playing candlesticks patterns only. Don't expected a sustained drop, just a break lower for tomorrow.  ach we don't have enough cash... anyone want to put in their opinion?

Rsi will not trigger until we hit a market bottom.

Gotta run it through Tech Trader.  Both are flagged as sell-offs and not valid for RSI2 plays (it might still bounce but not due to RSI2).
I would look for overbought bounces to short instead in these market conditions.

Comprehensive strategy added more short on SPY this past Friday.  I was out of town all weekend so I only just saw it.  Getting interesting since it seems to be coming out of the gate quite strongly (first live trade in October) and coincides with the onslaught of recent trendline short signals.

Every short signal I've been getting the last couple weeks basically played out.  Need to really take myself out of the picture and stop interfering with the trades.  Updated charts on the ones I posted before:
IWM Trendline Break from Oct.26

IWO Trendline Break from Oct.26

SPY Short via Comprehensive Strat from Oct.25


Just a ton of more trendline short signals today on the scans.  As usual, have to watch the close near end of day to confirm breaks, but just very disappointed at the moment.  Probably going to just stay on the sidelines until I have more time to actually watch the markets (lot of midterms + projects these few weeks until Thanksgiving).

Post screenshots screenshots you have a chance so we know what you're looking at. Hard to read phone app charts here to gauge. Good luck with the trade though

Also helps if you start the chart on the next line - too much scrolling when the screen goes wide.  But good luck with FB - it's right in the middle so personally leaning bull nor bear on the direction.

Interesting to see more trendline breaks finishing their plays.  If you remember MNST's break a couple weeks back - today they just missed earnings.

I say no new positions until the elections clear out. Confirmation is better.

Yeah - going to close out positions before end of today.  Premiums might fall after election results.

Currently holding SPY 143.5x weeklies at $1 though - think we close near highs before election.

Nice - yeah, I was expecting a bounce.  Just was impatient and tried to short for the pullback instead.

I'd start getting rid of the calls we have and stick with the puts only. Current momentum is still to the downside, resistance is at 1400.

GNW calls currently at $.30 from $.20; going to get out at either a break below $6.08 or a test of $6.60.

Picked up Dec. 45x calls on PCAR at $1.70

Picked up a few Nov 90x calls on ORLY at $.90; see if this weird volume spikes leads to anything.

Got out of ORLY at $1.30 from $.90.

How is ORLY related to AAP news though? If it's just sector movement, probably not sustainable.
