chip chop

Bit grumpy and mixed signals – maybe traders are looking for sell in May excuses:
– main OSC confirms Buy Signal
– T volume oscillator – potential sell warning
– potential bearish engulfing reversal signal

Watch 2103 for confirmation either way.

triangular trading

The triangle continues.

The character of the market seems to have changed from last years straight on up to a more jerky version, and i suspect it may continue through the summer

This favors selling credit with protection until a breakout is fully confirmed.
Watch the bollingers for confirmation of a squeeze and then get ready for direction.

still working

Still working off this triangle which will most probably resolve to the upside (if T structure is correct ?) and perhaps place a high early May at say 2180.

Yesterday is a good example of keeping the stop at the close or a bit loose (eg -5 pts or more) and below mid-point, S1 etc.
