The downside scenario posted last night played out well today. ES broke below Thursday's Low of Day in the overnight Globex session, which increased the probability of a range extension to the downside. The 1042 area was identified as Range Extension Extreme. The NFP reaction was pretty mild, and couldn't even tag the Globex High or Overnight Resistance. I wasn't expecting an end of day short covering rally of this magnitude, but as I posted last night, anything can happen at any time! Overall, a great trading day. Have a good weekend!
ES 5-Minute Chart for 02/05/10
Hello, I have just recently been receiving your analysis, must say, I like it a lot, the charts and the explanation. Thank you very much!

ReplyDeletePaulie, I've answered this question several times in the past. Perhaps I'll write a quick FAQ post answering some common questions. The arrows are manually plotted by me in areas that I perceive as Low Risk, High Reward areas to initiate trades. Only some of the arrows are my actual trades. For example, I was Long at 1051.75 around 11:00 AM (green arrow pin-points the entry). Then there are several trades that I took but are not marked up on the chart because they were 1-3 point scalps based on reading very short-term price action, and not structural setups based on the Key Levels.
