Escaping KasterborousUtopia, The Sound of Drums, & Last of the Time Lords (Series 3, Episodes 11, 12+13)The end of Series 3 is nigh. The Doctor, Martha, and a stowaway Captain Jack Harkness find themselves at the end of the Universe, and the Face of Boe was right. They are not alone. Did this three-part epic close with a blund deus-ex machina? Do the Derek Jacobi and John Simm Master incarnations stack up well against Missy and Sacha Dhawan's Masters later on? Rich and Amy are back after a slightly longer wait (sorry!), and they're simping over Tennant straight out of the gate. Tune in next week for Voyage of the Damned, just in time for Christmas...

Let's Trade9/10/21 - Bon VoyageAnnouncement: I will be gone on a trip to Italy for 2 weeks starting tomorrow, so no shows until then, best of luck!
In the meantime looks like today the markets are trying to bounce after a week of sliding. Will want to wait for a little more confirmation though, perhaps in the form of a shallow pullback.
Best stocks I am watching with potential are NVDA, AFRM, and MU. Again, always important to wait for confirmation of a good pattern before jumping in.
Best of luck to you over the next couple weeks!
2021-09-1008 minLet's Trade9/7/21 - Down day to start the weekWeek starts with a slight day in the red, DOW is the biggest loser ay .75%, however the big loser on the day is crypto with a massive parabolic move down, bitcoin dropping over 10% in the course of an hour in the morning, only to recover about 50% of that drop. Interesting shakeout, now could be a good time to bargain shop on some cryptos.
PII also shook me out after what had a ton of potential on a good looking move today, CRUS was a less dramatic stop out today to end the day -2R. That is...
2021-09-0807 minLet's Trade9/7/21 - Disappointing labor news to start the monthAll 3 markets start flat in pre market but immediately start sliding down to start the day, likely due to a jobs report that showed new jobs added being way under predicted for August. Likely due to that being the last month of unemployment benefits, my prediction is that we will see a bounce back of jobs for September as people are forced to go back to work.
Since markets are sliding we of course want to look for stocks that have good relative strength to the market. Nothing super impressive so far, but a couple on my...
2021-09-0712 minLet's Trade9/3/21 - Roller coaster week overMarkets get whipped around this week all over the place, no idea which way they will start next week. We will need to wait and see what the pre market charts look like...
Bitcoin and Crypto end the week sliding down just a hair but for the most part holding onto some significant gains made over the week. Remember that crypto never sleeps and the market is open 24/7 so we could potentially see some more price action movement over the weekend.
Took 2 trades today, one worked one didn't which will have me end the week...
2021-09-0309 minLet's Trade9/3/21 - Unimpressive jobs report start markets uncertainWe see a huge swing both ways in the pre market chart, with a bit of a rise in the volatility indicator. Could go either way today so may be a good idea to wait a bit for confirmation of direction either way, or find some stocks with relative strength.
Bitcoin, Ethereum and the rest of the crypto market making big moves over night, could be a good play to jump in and trade those markets today.
Buy setups and breakouts are my 2 favorite patterns to trade. Here are the criteria for each:
Buy...
2021-09-0312 min
Let's Trade9/1/21 - Flat day to start SeptemberSPY and the QQQ finish in the green today, but only barely, to start September which as we mentioned this morning is historically the most underwhelming month of them all. All it will take is one or two FUD catalysts to start a slide, we will see if that happens, although there is nothing in the foreseeable future that could cause that.
Both trades stopped me out today on SAVA and SKLZ, looked like nice entries but that is the way it goes sometimes. This is why as traders we take protective stop losses so we can...
2021-09-0108 minLet's Trade9/1/21 - Historically underperforming month starts with momentumThe SPY and QQQ start up on the day, in September which historically is the worst performing month in the calendar year. However, this year and last are very unique so we will see if that trend continues...
Bitcoin and Ethereum seem to be on different paths, Ethereum continues to climb while bitcoin continues to consolidate out a bit. Will this trend continue? We will need to see how Ethereum reacts when it gets to 3.6k and if Bitcoin can eventually break above 50k in a meaningful move.
Definitely some opportunities out there to be...
2021-09-0111 minLet's Trade8/31/21 - Markets end down but nothing dramaticAll 3 markets end down today, but it is a pretty small loss. So, nothing to be concerned about, potential for another mild green day tomorrow as there is no major market moving news coming up this week.
Took one trade today and it worked out well for 2R on GDS. Great pair of entries but it took about all day to hit target. Sometimes it is like that, other times you hit target within 10 minutes.
Bitcoin looking ok so far, as long as we do not get too far below $46-46.5k. Ethereum seems to...
2021-08-3106 minLet's Trade8/31/21 - Uneventful optimistic dayMarkets start for the first 30 minutes sliding, but have since been in an effort to recover back to the upside. Tech and the Q's still down though for the most part.
Bitcoin showing off some of that crypto market volatility, looks to be in a little downtrend here so hopefully we get some buying activity. Ethereum however is showing good relative strength to the crypto market so that will be an interesting one to watch over the next few days.
Currently in GDS right now after a nice Buy setup, followed by a breakout formation...
2021-08-3110 min
Let's Trade8/30/21 Tech crushes, Financials slumpGreat day from the get go for Tech and the Q's, SPY also ended higher but the DOW not so much.
As predicted Bitcoin and the crypto markets bounce, going higher just about all day today. Hoping to see a significant move over 50k in the next few days to confirm strength.
CHWY did not work out for a day trade, however GDS did and in hindsight could have made a lot more than 2R. BUT, the trading plan is the plan and we ride or die with our trading plan, which allows us as...
2021-08-3108 minLet's Trade8/30/21 - Decent start to the week after great ending last week2/3 Markets rising to start the day (SPY/QQQ), with the Q's leading the way. Up pretty big already though so possible to see some choppiness in a bit or maybe a little bit of a pullback.
Bitcoin and crypto market consolidating a bit today still, as it has been over the past few days. No reason to expect any downwards significant moves below ~47.5k, so could be a good opportunity to trade some bounces.
The rip on Friday and the good day to start the day tells us that investors seem to be ok with...
2021-08-3007 minLet's Trade8/26/21 - Expected down day, telling action comes tomorrowAll 3 market indexes finished lower today as expected, as the Federal Reserve Symposium in Jackson Hole gets under way with investors expecting there to be news of tapering and a reduction of the fed's generous monetary policy.
Bitcoin and crypto holding steady in a consolidation range which is nice to see when compared against the market slide today.
No trades taken today and likely not tomorrow either. Will need to see what direction we go in to confirm a bias one way or the other with volatility indicators spiking up during the day.
2021-08-2604 minLet's Trade8/26/21 - Markets holding breathMarkets today start very flat again, likely will remain that way unless there is a little bit of a pullback depending on what the various Fed reserve chairmen/women say. Due to improving unemployment, a lack of obvious inflation and increased consumer spending it is highly unlikely there will be increased stimulus from the fed, so we are likely going to hear tapering talk which could spook investors and cause a bit of a downturn.
Personally, I will be SOH today and likely tomorrow as well as there is going to be a lot of uncertainty in...
2021-08-2610 minLet's Trade8/25/21 - Likely an uneventful dayMarkets open about as flat as can be, and there are not a ton of potential good gaps or stocks to be watched today. Likely will be a SOH day where we do not take any trades.
However a couple being watched are MU, TWLO and THO. Not super convinced on any of them though...
Bitcoin drops below our consolidation range overnight but quickly bounces back up into it. Likely will not see any significant movement here or in the rest of the crypto markets today.
2021-08-2505 minLet's Trade8/24/21 - Quiet day setting up rest of weekAs predicted it was a relatively quiet day in the markets with all 3 indexes closing higher but only just. Trading volume was roughly half of what it normally was. Investors are again likely waiting for the Federal Reserve symposium which is now only going to be a 1 day virtual event on Friday thanks to some COVID virtue signaling. What else would you expect from a branch of the government?
Bitcoin holding towards the lower end of a consolidation at 48k, looking for a bounce here otherwise we could dip back down to 46k more or less and...
2021-08-2406 minLet's Trade8/24/21 - Markets likely need to rest todayAfter a huge rally yesterday and the Fed's symposium coming up later this week which is expected to cause some movement in the markets, we are likely going to see a pretty tempered day today. This is good for us day traders as it gives us opportunities to find good reliable patterns that will not be pulled one way or the other unexpectedly by the broader markets.
Some stocks being watched are SAVA, TWLO, and LMND. Only taking trades if t hey present good reliable patterns though!
2021-08-2409 minLet's Trade8/23/21 - Huge rip todayThe QQQ blows by a previous record high, SPY sets a record high as well and the DOW finishes up by a pretty good margin. Great day all around for the markets, hopefully signaling a sign of strength for the rest of the week. Nothing is certain though especially with Jerome Powell and the Fed's symposium up in Jackson Hole later this week, so we will see what happens then.
In the meantime though, VLO worked out quite well for me playing off the momentum that the energy sector had today, MOS got about 60-70% to target...
2021-08-2309 minLet's Trade8/23/21 - Looking to continue momentumAll markets start up on the day by pretty good margins, looking to continue the momentum from a strong close last Friday. SPY and QQQ pretty close to record highs though so could potentially see some choppiness around the current range.
Bitcoin breaks above 50k as predicted without a ton of resistance on the way up, next stop would be around 56-58k, however expect some choppiness on the way up, very unlikely to be a straight line up.
Some stocks being watched today are COIN, CHWY, UPST, and MOS.
2021-08-2308 minLet's Trade8/18/21 - Markets start flat, looking to bounceMarkets open a little down but pretty flat for the most part, after a big slide yesterday into support there is definitely some potential today for a bounce. Keep an eye out for stocks that ended at support levels yesterday and are showing a quality pattern today at the open. Lots of opportunities out there.
Bitcoin sitting at 45.2k, near the bottom of the consolidation range we have been in for the past 10 days or so. If markets have a good day today we could see some of that flow into bitcoin and crypto which would be...
2021-08-1807 minLet's Trade8/17/21 - Stocks slide on a big down dayStocks gap down to start the day and don't look back, all 3 indexes ending the day pretty far down. However, we did end the day relatively close to a few levels of support so there is a chance we see a nice bounce tomorrow. Will need to see what the pre market charts look like to determine whether or not we are going to have a potential bounce.
No trades taken today, but not losing money is better than losing money in uncertain conditions. Will be planning on looking for stocks that ended down today close to...
2021-08-1708 minLet's Trade8/17/21 - Big pullback to start the dayMarkets pullback to start the day, even more so than yesterday, so it is looking like it will be a down day. Over the course of a normal week, the major markets ALWAYS have at least 1 down day, potentially more, so if you see strong signs of a downtrend and there has not been a down day yet in the week then that may be the day. Look for stocks to trade today that have relative strength (going up/consolidating sideways while market is going down).
Bitcoin and crypto chopping around in a consolidation to hold onto...
2021-08-1709 minLet's Trade8/16/21 - Great turn around to start the week!It took quite a bit of patience to see the markets into the green today after gapping down and sliding to start the first 1-2 hours of the day. However once we reversed direction around 10-10:30 market time we never looked back. So markets do not seem to be too phased by anything going on in China, Afghanistan, with Delta, etc. Great news there.
Losing trade today was RKT unfortunately, however DLR worked out for about 1.5R which was enough to end the day in the green. Generally, you will see a surge in volume the last 5...
2021-08-1611 minLet's Trade8/16/21 - Gapping down, look for relative strength playsMarket start the day gapping down after a nice week last week, which ended at record highs for the SPY and DOW. So it is only normal we are due for a little bit of a pullback.
On days like today, you want to be looking for stocks that have relative strength to the market. What that means is that a stock is either moving up or consolidating near its daily high, while the market is moving down. These stocks tend to rip once the market turns around, so make sure to be scanning so you can...
2021-08-1609 minLet's Trade8/12/21 - Riding market momentumAll 3 markets close higher, with the SPY and DOW posting new record highs. Look for a pullback tomorrow as investors typically sell on Friday and we have seen quite a few days of gains this week.
SAVA worked out for a winning trade today on a nice breakout play at around 10:35 (breakout = consolidation in price near high of the day, buy when it breaks above the consolidation), however FLGT unfortunately went against us despite a ton of potential room to move up.
Bitcoin slid until around noon but has since recovered nicely to sit back...
2021-08-1207 minLet's Trade8/12/21 - Inflation goes both ways...Markets gap up just a bit but quickly start a pullback to begin the day. Biggest news of the day is the PPI (Producer Price Index) coming in higher than expected, basically signaling that it got more expensive last month for manufacturers/business to produce goods. This of course contrasts yesterday's CPI (Consumer Price Index) coming in better than expected. So we have one measure investors believe is leading to inflation, and one measure showing the opposite. This is why as traders we do not put too much weight into reports because it is impossible to know true market...
2021-08-1209 minLet's Trade8/11/21 - Markets set record highs as predictedWe called it this morning, the SPY and the DOW both closed higher (SPY with a slightly less impressive gain but a gain nonetheless). Likely due to inflation data coming back better than expected and the infrastructure bill plugging its way to passage.
Bitcoin looking real nice sitting around 46.5k, we could see another pullback to around 42-43k range before it continues going higher. This is about as much of a pullback as we would want to see to assume we are going to continue moving up.
Quick tip, look for a double bottom...
2021-08-1115 minLet's Trade8/11/21 - CPI better than expectedMarkets gap up nicely to start the day, largely due to the CPI (Consumer Price Index), an important measure of inflation levels, rising less than expected. Look for some new record highs in the DOW and the SPY when you pair that with the huge infrastructure bill working its way to completion.
Not a ton of good looking gaps to start the day just yet, need to be scanning for some patterns to develop here and then jump into trades.
Bitcoin looking really solid now sitting at 46.5k, still has room to move all the...
2021-08-1109 minLet's Trade8/10/21 - Dow/Spy end a quiet day at recordsDespite the Dow and the Spy ending at record highs, we saw a pretty tame day today aside from a little late morning choppiness.
ACI and DDD worked out today for day trades, MOS unfortunately was held past the closing bell on accident... Something I would NOT recommend doing as there is no way of knowing for certain what a stock is going to do at the open on the following day. Ended the day at support though so hoping for a bounce to start the day.
Bitcoin still holding steady around 45.5k, if it...
2021-08-1009 minLet's Trade8/10/21 - Tame start to the dayMarkets open pretty flat to start the day, no real news or events coming around today that could shake things up and provide a definitive move one way or the other.
Not a ton of opportunities out there just yet anyways, looking at COIN to maybe bounce after a big pullback to start the day, DDD looking like it has a nice gap up as well.
Bitcoin still holding strong right around 45.5k, solidifying the gains made over the past few days. Next significant point of resistance is right around 50k so if there is...
2021-08-1009 minLet's Trade8/9/21 - Week opens with a pullbackAfter 2/3 of the market indexes ended the week at record highs, we seem to be starting the week off with a little bit of a pullback. This is normal, how much we pullback though will determine which way we likely head for the day/week.
Bitcoin having a nice rally, and as we mentioned with a meaningful move above 40k we could see it move to about 45k, and right now it is sitting at 45.5k but still on the move for sure. Today is a good day to watch the crypto space for some place if...
2021-08-0907 minLet's Trade8/6/21 - all 3 indexes finish the week in the greenSPY, QQQ, DOW all finish the week in the green, however for my trades we finished the week in red. Not the best week but not the worst either, sometimes that is the way that it goes. It takes years to become a consistently profitable trader, and even then you can't avoid losing. Pick yourself up, take some time off to unwind and get back after it on Monday.
Bitcoin and crypto market having a nice rally, we could really see some move to the upside over the weekend for bitcoin as it has made a pretty...
2021-08-0611 minLet's Trade8/6/21 - Mixed openSPY/DOW gapping up to start the day and QQQ gapping down, however they are moving against their respective gaps to start the market open. Wait and see which direction it is going to go after the first 30-60 minutes.
Bitcoin and Ethereum still continuing their nice runs and bringing up the rest of the crypto market with them. Great to see this uptrend continue, remember to buy on the way up as that is how you maximize profit on long term investments. Time in the markets beats trying to time the market every time.
...
2021-08-0608 minLet's Trade8/5/21 - Markets end the day with great moves up, TSLA eats up buying powerMarkets all end with great moves up, and the QQQ closes at another record high. Could be a pullback day tomorrow since we are near or above record highs so may be a sit on hands day. Remains to be seen.
Unfortunately TSLA did not move really at all today, finishing only 3.71 higher which is an extremely small move for a $700+ stock. Rode it up to a little more than 1R but ultimately it crept back down to break even and stayed there until the end of the trading day.
This caused some great opportunities...
2021-08-0509 minLet's Trade8/5/21 - Bullish bias to open the dayInvestors love seeing people work as it shows signs of a strong economy, and new reports out that show weekly jobless claims falling as well as layoffs at 21 year lows surely are making investors feel good about themselves and the economy.
PRICE and VOLUME are 2 very important indicators used in trading that help you gauge interest in a stock and whether or not money will keep flowing into (or out of) it. If you know which way money is flowing and by how much you can more reliably take better trades.
Bitcoin slumping just a...
2021-08-0512 minLet's Trade8/4/21 - Choppy day ends mixedSpy ends lower, QQQ ends higher, but no real substantial moves to close out a choppy day.
UAA ended up working out for a nice 2R gain, however DDD did not and the position was exited a little early because of how the market was doing, saved myself about .5R there to end the day at 1-1.5R.
Ethereum seems to be making a pretty nice run, however it is up for 10 straight hourly bars so may want to wait for a little bit of a pullback before jumping in to by some. Rest of...
2021-08-0410 minLet's Trade8/4/21 - Market will struggle to find direction todayAfter closing yesterday near the previous record highs, markets may pullback a bit but no way of telling for certain. Best to wait a bit and see.
VERY important to have a pre market routine if you are day trading which includes but is not limited to:
- Scanning for high quality gaps
- Going through trading plan and affirmation
- Taking a breather a few minutes before market opens and when it does open to get your mind right
Having a routine and a plan helps to ensure b...
2021-08-0411 minLet's Trade8/3/21 - Markets bounce as predictedAs predicted the markets bounced after a little slide for the first hour or so of the day to close up pretty high in the green. When you see on the charts a pullback to multiple points of pivot support, you can bet that you are going to see a bounce, which is exactly what happened today.
None of our early called stocks really worked out too well except SCCO, however due to constant scanning there was a nice buy setup that presented itself on C that made a nice 2R gain. Always be scanning, there are...
2021-08-0311 minLet's Trade8/3/21 - Looking for a bounce to start the dayAfter closing down yesterday right at a point with multiple pivot supports, we are looking for a bounce back to the upside. Should come through for us as investors have a lot of cash on hand as we have discussed earlier, and there is a large buy the dip mentality going around right now...
BTC still slumping a little bit sitting now at $38.4k. If we are right and the market does bounce up, then we should likely see a little move to the upside for bit coin and some of the crypto market as well.
2021-08-0306 minLet's Trade8/2/21 - Markets start with optimism, end with redDespite all 3 indexes gapping up to start the day, after about an hour we saw a downtrend that took us all the way into the red to end the day. Pretty modest losses though in the grand scheme of things.
Not a lot of concrete reasoning why we did see this slump, perhaps due to continued China FUD or the recent announcement that they have had drawbacks in their level of manufacturing, which of course the US relies on heavily.
Bitcoin continues a very modest slide now sitting around $39.2k. Not the end of the...
2021-08-0212 minLet's Trade8/2/21 - Starting new month gapping upAll 3 markets gap up to start the day, however Q's selling off the jump. We will see if it is a pullback or momentum as the day unfolds.
This week is being labelled infrastructure week, as the final proposals for the $1T infrastructure plan are set to be laid out. However there seems to be $730B of unexplained money out there in the bill so who knows what that will be going to (probably not infrastructure).
Earnings season continues this week with some big names across multiple industries set to report. Most likely a lot...
2021-08-0211 minLet's Trade7/30/21 - Markets end the month and week greenDespite a pretty choppy ride, all 3 major markets ended the month and week in the green. Still sitting close to record highs though, which has investors looking for any reason to sell and take profit. Can't say for certain that there will not be a pullback later in the year but right now investors seem content with sitting on cash and not partaking in massive sell offs.
Bitcoin staging a really nice looking rally, started the morning at 38k and as of now is sitting above 41k. Next major point of resistance is roughly 45k, so if...
2021-07-3111 minLet's Trade7/30/21 - Trying to recover from overnight slideBig slide down continued into pre market trading, however markets opened trying to bounce. About 30 minutes in though we are seeing a pullback, so it could really go either way, although investors tend to sell and take profit at the end of the week so it may end as a down day.
Nice trades made on MAXR and FCX today. Looking like we will end the week in the green.
Speaking of green, barring any crazy turn of events today all 3 indexes should finish green for the month, helped along by strong earnings, optimism for...
2021-07-3007 minLet's Trade7/29/21 - Markets end green, post market trading looking sketchyAll 3 indexes end in the green today, however there seems to be a pretty sharp dip forming in post market trading. We will look to see how much of that can get bought back up in pre market tomorrow before the open before we can determine which way we will go to end the week.
New proposal is now in the works to have more federal oversight on crypto exchanges and businesses being required to report crypto transactions over 10k (misstated in podcast about the 10k rule, this is what it actually is). This could be a...
2021-07-3009 minLet's Trade7/29/21 - Small green openMarkets start the day in the green with a slight pullback, good sign that we will continue green momentum today. However the SPY/DOW are pretty close to record highs again so potential for a consolidation if we get to that point.
DE and SCCO were trades taken today on a buy setup and breakout, so far in the green, not looking to take a ton more while they are open in case market does turn the other way.
Bitcoin holding steady around 40k, great sign of strength that it is holding onto its gains...
2021-07-2908 minLet's Trade7/28/21 - Big volume on the day for FOMC statementQ's finished the day up, Spy had a very close break even day, however finished in the red and the DOW also finishes down about .36%.
Huge volume spike right at the time that the FOMC and Jerome Powell started talking, showing that investors really take into account what is said from them. Buy/sell volume was split right down the middle though meaning that investors are torn on which way to go, will be an interesting rest of the week to say the least.
Bitcoin hovering above 40k for most of the day which is...
2021-07-2906 minLet's Trade7/28/21 - Earnings continue, FOMC speaksMarkets start pretty tame today, so far Q's only index in green but not a lot of major movement.
FOMC and Jerome Powell both delivering statements at 2 ET after concluding their 2 day meeting on monetary policy. There is bound to be some reaction in the market as investors generally put a lot of weight into what those 2 entities say. Be careful if you are still holding intra day trades around that time.
Bitcoin having a nice chance at what looks to be a potential rally, broke above 40k to almost 41, and has pulled back to 39.7...
2021-07-2809 minLet's Trade7/27/21 - Rough day due largely to ChinaMarkets close down, with the Q's and tech leading the way in losses, largely due to China announcing sweeping regulations over tons of industries located there, which of course are powered in part by tech and tech companies. Could be looking at a continued slide tomorrow based on where the chart for the QQQ and SPY are resting as of now.
Bitcoin holding strong at 38.2k, great sign despite all the China FUD as they are intertwined with bitcoin miners and production. Having said that, I would not be surprised if we take a little slide down...
2021-07-2809 minLet's Trade7/27/21 - Big bitcoin rally!After a tame day yesterday, markets start the day selling off a bit. We will need about 30-60 minutes to see which direction the market decides to go in today.
Lots of big names coming out with earnings this week, especially in the tech sector, some of which include Apple, Microsoft, Google, Facebook, and Amazon amongst others. Investors are likely anticipating earnings that surpass expectations.
Asian stocks getting hammered as China continues to crack down on multiple sectors. Could be temporary FUD but hard to say for certain without knowing the full extent of the...
2021-07-2709 minLet's Trade7/22/21 - Q's up, rest of market choppingNot a lot of direction today so far from the market, however the Q's seem to be heading in a green direction, time will tell...
Bitcoin holding nicely around 32.2k, keeping its little bit of momentum going into the day.
Not very keen on taking many trades today, in the green for the week and will be gone tomorrow so sometimes it is a good idea to protect profit when you are ahead!
2021-07-2204 minLet's Trade7/21/21 - Momentum continues(Sorry for the noise from dog chewing a bone in the background...)
Another day in the green to make it 2 in a row, with 8/11 S&P sectors finishing in the green with pretty substantial gains. SPY/QQQ/DOW all finish up with nice gains of .81%, .77%, and .84% respectively.
Institutions and large cap companies are collectively sitting on around $2T in cash which is likely going to be used to boost the market in the way of stock buy backs and dividend boosts. Good sign for some bullish momentum in the near future.
Bitcoin has...
2021-07-2107 minLet's Trade7/21/21 - Markets looking to keep momentumAfter a big bounce yesterday from Monday's selloff t he markets are looking to keep momentum going heading into the middle of the week.
85% of S&P companies have beat earnings expectations so far which of course is a good sign for the state of our economy.
VIX volatility indicator is down, pair that with the good start we have for the day and a solid pattern and there are definitely opportunities to make money.
Bitcoin rallies a bit overnight to reach $31.5k which you love to see, looking to break above 32k...
2021-07-2105 minLet's Trade7/20/21 - Big Money Day!All markets make a pretty significant rebound after yesterday's slide to end the day well in the green. Seems that investors decided to buy the dip, which makes sense considering they have such a large amount of cash saved up than they have over the past few (pre covid) years.
Bitcoin holds right under 30, which is great to see. Likely due to the buying activity seen in the markets today.
10/11 S&P sectors finish higher (Consumer staples ending in the red but by a very small amount), and we are now up about 72% year over...
2021-07-2007 minLet's Trade7/20/21 - Coin toss on which way we go todayMarkets gap up in post market yesterday, but starting to pullback a little bit in pre market today. Remember that fear in the markets is much stronger than greed so we could see a continuation of yesterday's selling.
Having said that a lot of stocks gapped down to support yesterday so we could potentially see some bounces and opportunities to make money as well. Give the market some time to play out though.
Bitcoin goes below $30k, likely some pain ahead as next support level is not until mid $20k range. Now is a good...
2021-07-2006 minLet's Trade7/19/21 - Red day, don't check your index funds.All indexes end down in a pretty sizeable red day, however there is hope as post market trading is gapping up quite a bit.
The pullback today is likely due to the fact that the market has been so overextended for many months with no real pullback or corrections. This is normal and part of the game.
BTC basically flatlines for the day and doesn't move after hovering right above 30k. Really do not want to see it go below 30.
3 trades today, 1 stopped us out (D), and 2 made a little money (WORK, RKT...
2021-07-1908 minLet's Trade7/19/21 - Gapping down but very volatileAll 3 indexes gap down to start the day, however the VIX volatility indicator spikes overnight to put us in an uncertain state starting out the week. Will be SOH for a bit after market open to see how it starts to play out.
Remember, number one job as a trader is to MAKE MONEY, you do not do that by trying to force trades because the market can and will do anything at any given time. Let the patterns develop that put the odds in your favor.
Bitcoin dancing on the edge of a pretty...
2021-07-1906 minLet's Trade7/16/21 - Slide down ends the week in the redAll 3 indexes finish lower on the week capped off by a pretty good slide down today, after what looked to be a bullish gap up in the pre market.
Energy continues getting hammered and is now officially in a down trend (multiple lower highs being set). Despite great earnings reports the financial sector fails to get any momentum going.
Personally, it seems to me that investors this week were trying to price in inflation as multiple comments from Powell and Yellen were made that suggested inflation is coming, however it would be temporary. So investors...
2021-07-1610 minLet's Trade7/16/21 - Looking to end the week on a high noteAll markets gapping up today, perhaps from news out of the retail sector where sales rose in June .6% despite economists expecting a .4% decline.
Bullish bias on the day, long play favorites as of now are RKT and FOUR, but we of course need confirmation when market opens to see if we want to jump in.
Bitcoin bouncing off support as expected, hopefully we can see some continued upwards momentum with the bullish bias on the day.
2021-07-1606 minLet's Trade7/15/21 - Chopped downMarkets struggle to find any real direction but eventually end the day down, except for the DOW which creeped up to a very small gain on the day.
2/3 trades did not go as planned today despite what were pretty solid entries, but that is the way it goes and we will be back at it tomorrow.
Energy sector continues to decline, is this the start of the green revolution or temporary FUD?
Bitcoin close to the edge of falling off a cliff below our major support level. Looking for a bounce otherwise we...
2021-07-1509 minLet's Trade7/15/21 - Another sloppy messMarkets chop around again for another hot mess, struggling to figure out which direction they are going in.
Took a trade on C to make 2R, however we were stopped out of SPCE and SCPL unfortunately.
Unemployment claims hit a pandemic era low last week of 360k, definitely a nice sign that the economy will continue to move forward.
Financial and Industrial industries doing well today, tech not so much and energy continuing to get hammered.
2021-07-1506 minLet's Trade7/14/21 - JP saves the dayAfter an extremely whippy day with a slide leading up to Jerome Powell's remarks on the state of the economy and the Fed, we had a sharp recovery to close a little higher after he said they are not going to ease up on easy money policies anytime sooner than expected as of now. There was of course a lot of chop on the way back up to that higher close though...
Energy sector absolutely hammered today and down almost 3%, likely due to the EU and China pledging sweeping reforms to limit greenhouse gas emissions and fossil...
2021-07-1409 minLet's Trade7/14/21 - Another CHOPPY dayMarkets gap up, in the green so far but extremely choppy and struggling to find direction one way or the other. SPY looks to be in slight downtrend though.
Every large cap company that reported earnings well above expected today are tanking so far. Goes to show that the CHARTS are the best indicators of market sentiment as opposed to news, earnings reports, press conferences etc....
Bitcoin bounces off the 32k support range, can it keep the momentum going up? Not feeling too optimistic but we will see...
2021-07-1407 minLet's Trade7/13/21 - Wild start, Wild end...Markets all close slightly down on the day, most likely due to a 5.4% YOY increase in the CPI index. This however seems only natural to me as money velocity was significantly lower in June of last year due to lockdowns, and we now have a much larger amount of money in supply due to multiple stimuluses' since then.
Tech is the only S&P sector out of the 11 to end the day in the green. We were able to make some money trading JD though in the morning before the afternoon slide so good day overall.
2021-07-1309 minLet's Trade7/13/21 - Wild whippy start to earnings weekMarkets gap down to start the day but within 30 minutes have recovered to either green or around break even.
First set of earnings for big players come out, some move up some move down in price despite all of them beating earnings estimates. Great example of why investors and traders need to look at charts to gauge market sentiment as opposed to news and other reports.
CPI is up .9% for June, a potential indicator that inflation could be around the corner.
Bitcoin on a little bit of an extended slide, down to $32.5k...
2021-07-1307 minLet's Trade7/12/21 - Playing the waiting game...Markets all close in the green, however we had roughly half the normal amount of trading volume.
Likely due to investors waiting for a slew of earnings reports set to come throughout the week, and the adjusted CPI for June that comes out tomorrow morning.
Multiple bank stocks had nice gains for the day, investors likely anticipating they are going to beat expectations. If they do there is definitely room to move up for the banks.
Bitcoin slides down throughout the day, now sitting at $32.7k.
2021-07-1206 minLet's Trade7/12/21 - Earnings season incomingWe are sure to be in for a wild week as earnings come out for some big names, JPM, Goldman Sachs, Delta, and Bank of America to name a few. Depending on how these do they could definitely swing market sentiment one way or the other.
Favorite Long trades today are NYT, and MPW if the buy setup shapes out.
Bitcoin has a little early morning slide down to 33.5K, will be looking to see what it does as market opens up and starts to move.
2021-07-1205 minLet's Trade7/9/21 - All 3 indexes close at record highs!Great day today in the market as we saw gaps up to start the day with no signs of slowing.
The exception would be the Q's and tech, as it started a little choppy as investors digested news of a new executive order aiming at cracking down on big tech companies monopoly over their respective market. Investors did not seem too fazed though as most mega cap tech companies finished higher, albeit with very small gains.
Financial and Energy sectors finish way high, investors may be anticipating good news from earnings by large banks coming...
2021-07-0906 minLet's Trade7/9/21 - Tech under scrutinySPY and DOW gap up and climb to start the day, QQQ extremely choppy as presidential Executive Order looms that would potentially limit big tech's market dominance.
Investors seem to have mixed feelings about where economy is going. On one hand since there is so much pent up supply it can be said that a ton of cash will flow into economy. However we are over extended so some investors say that the next large pullback could turn into a correction.
IMF and world bank come out in support of digital currencies, which is great...
2021-07-0908 minLet's Trade7/8/21 - Market tries but fails to recoverAfter a huge gap down this morning, the markets gave a valiant effort to recover but were not able to, with all 3 indexes ending the day in the red as well as all 11 S&P sectors ending the day red.
Don't expect a big move one way or the other tomorrow as investors likely wait until next week when Q2 earnings reports start coming in, specifically from banks. Likely to see banks doing well as there has been an extremely high amount of auto and credit loans to consumers over the past few months, and of course...
2021-07-0807 minLet's Trade7/8/21 - FUD causes gap down for the openMarkets gap down to start the day, with all of them about %1.5 down. This however was largely due to a sharp dip a few minutes after the close yesterday, markets consolidating for the most part now which means buyers are stepping up.
State unemployment claims for the last week came in at 373k, 23k over expectations with 200-250k being a benchmark for a healthy labor market. This of course comes on the heels of June being the best month in the past 10 for businesses hiring, an interesting contrast for sure...
Market volatility has made...
2021-07-0807 minLet's Trade7/7/21- Uneventful Fed notes lead to record daySPY and QQQ both end at record highs for the day, DOW finishes green as well.
Investors did not seem phased by what came out of the Fed today from its June 15-16 meeting, likely because there were a lot of "we might" statements that did not definitively signal early tapering of asset and bond buy back programs. The US10Y rate also fell today against expectations, which certainly makes investors feel better.
Market buoyed by various sectors today, however one noticeable absentee was the energy sector, as it took a nice little slide today...
2021-07-0704 minLet's Trade7/7/21 - Waiting for Fed meeting minutes...Markets start the day gapping up but quickly start sliding, perhaps anticipating what the Fed is going to say with their meeting minutes notes from June (released at 2ET). Would NOT recommend being in intra day trades at that time as markets will most likely react one way or the other.
Crude oil price/barrel continues to slide, likely due to OPEC stalemate on how much oil should be produced and exported in the near future. One can only hope this will cause gas prices to go down a bit....
Gold dips a little below $1.8...
2021-07-0709 minLet's Trade7/6/21 - Whippy day closes mostly redNASDAQ closes higher at .17%, S&P/DOW finish lower at .2% and .6% respectively, S&P breaks 7 day winning streak. Seems to be normal profit taking from investors as no substantial news is out today and the FOMC is coming up tomorrow.
DIDI shares plunge on news from the Chinese government, goes to show how much governments affect stock prices quickly.
Lighter volume tends to increase trading volatility, which we definitely saw a perfect example of today.
Bitcoin stays around 34k for the day, definitely nice to see it not being heavily affected by the...
2021-07-0609 minLet's Trade7/6/21 - Tech leading the way at openQ's start up for the day, while S&P/DOW start down. Big names such as Apple and Amazon leading the way so far.
Oil peeks above $76/barrel overnight, back down to around $74 now, with the volatility likely due to differing opinions on rate of production between OPEC powerhouses. Energy sector down to start the day despite brief spike in oil prices.
US10Y and Volatility index both down to pretty low levels, making this a favorable day for intra day trades.
Gold creeping up over past week, now sitting over $1.8k/ounce...
2021-07-0607 minLet's Trade7/1/21 - Choppy day ends in the greenAfter a very choppy start to the day, all 3 indexes close higher with the S&P setting a new record high for the 6th straight day.
Consumer Price Index is up 3.5% from 1/21-5/21, which is a pretty substantial increase but that number drops to 2.4% if you take the food and energy sectors out of the equation.
Employees seem to be content with being unemployed short term while they either switch career fields or negotiate for better benefits (think higher pay, remote work arrangements), which could spook investors as a sign of increased unemployment.
...
2021-07-0111 minLet's Trade7/1/21 - Roller coaster ride to start Q3Markets all gap up to open, but immediately start whipping up and down perhaps signaling some mixed feelings for investors.
Energy sector leading the way in gains, with prices going up due in part to crude oil jumping up overnight to $75 a barrel.
Last weeks unemployment claims came back at a pandemic era low of 364k, perhaps a good sign to come with investors waiting for the monthly jobs report for June set to release tomorrow.
Bitcoin drops overnight to around $33k. Not below our support level of $32k but definitely not in...
2021-07-0105 minLet's Trade6/30/21 - S&P sets record high for 5th straight dayA small gain for the S&P puts it to a new record high, with the Dow also making a nice gain but tech having a tiny loss on the day.
Institutional investors are sitting on larger than normal piles of cash, ready to be deployed, which further adds to the summer bullish sentiment and will hopefully keep any dips from turning into larger corrections.
Home sales in May reached their highest prices since 2005, however the mortgage demand over the past month has gone down. With materials starting to not be in such short supply...
2021-06-3008 minLet's Trade6/30/21 - End of Q2, investors in wait and see modeMarkets open down but quickly start to recover, showing mixed sentiment on the day for investors as we finish out Q2.
Bitcoin hovering around $34.6k, a nice support level has been formed around 34k so as long as we don't fall below there that will certainly be a sign of positive momentum for crypto market.
Private payroll reports an increase of 692k, more than the expected 600k by economists, potentially a sign that businesses are coming back and will be able to entice workers to come back as well.
Hospitality and leisure industries...
2021-06-3009 minLet's Trade6/29/21 - Uneventful closeAll 3 indexes close higher today, albeit very flat for the most part, Q's had the largest gain of .36% to set another record high.
Bitcoin holding out above 36k, slight drop below after hours but again nothing too dramatic to see here.

2021-06-3004 minLet's Trade6/29/21 - Market starts in the GREENAll 3 major indexes are up in the green today, with Dow leading the way and S&P continuing to push higher into record territory.
Industrials, banks, and energy leading the charge so far.
United airlines and Boeing putting in HUGE orders for new aircrafts, in what has to be seen as a big bet that the travel sector is going to have a big bounce back this summer as consumers venture back out into the world and spend some of their record savings.
Halfway through the year we see the S&P up 14...
2021-06-2906 minLet's Trade6/28/21 - Spy and QQQ close at new record highsSpy and QQQ close at new record highs, buoyed largely by Tesla Apple and Microsoft all gaining well over 1% on the day. Dow finishes slightly down.
US10 year down to 1.47 from 1.54 on Friday, helping tech sector rally as this usually means cheaper borrowing for tech, a sector that relies heavily on borrowed capital.
Some more events that traders are looking at in the coming week are the June jobs report due Friday and the OPEC meeting on Thursday.
Commerce department inflation indicator was up 3.4% in May, largest jump for a month since 1990's...
2021-06-2810 minLet's Trade6/28/21 - Market opens with rotation back to techQQQ up a decent amount to start the day, with Spy and Dow both falling, likely due to uncertainty around the president's comments going both ways on the fate of the infrastructure bill.
Bitcoin peeks up above 35k again, holding in the range of $30-35k is a good sign but of course we need a significant break above $40k before we declare real signs of strength.
Slow week on the news front, with the most significant development coming on Friday as investors wait for labor market data.

Bitcoin still hovering between $32-34k, relatively uneventful.
2021-06-2506 minLet's Trade6/24/21 - Markets end on a high noteSubstantial gains today for all 3 indexes, with the Spy and QQQ setting new all time highs led by the Financial, Energy and Tech sectors.
Big news of the day comes out of DC, where a bipartisan committee has come to terms on an agreement to move forward with President Biden's infrastructure plan. Total cost is agreed to be around $600 Billion and will focus on items such as power grids, public transportation, electric vehicle charging stations, high speed internet in rural areas, and replacing lead water pipes.
Bitcoin crosses above 35k and holds out right below...

2021-06-2307 minLet's Trade6/23/21 - Continuing weekly momentum?Dow, Spy, and QQQ all open relatively flat but up, looking to build on record closes yesterday. So far energy sector is buoying the Spy to gains on the day.

2021-06-2209 minLet's Trade6/21/21 - market starts week strongThe DOW rose about 500 points today to start the week to completely erase the sharp dip we saw last Friday. SPY follows close behind with a good gain and NASDAQ has a more modest gain. Crypto markets still taking a beating, with Bitcoin down 10% over last 24 hours and other large cap cryptos not looking good either. Travel stocks up, vaccine rates up, and unemployment rate lower could be leading to a summer of big gains for the market.
2021-06-2105 minLet's Trade6/21/21 - Market opens flat but risingMarkets opening near last weeks close but looking to rebound from worst week in months.
