NQ Targets (10-13-22)

1764
NAZ looking like double bottom. Today's hold was much like circle (day) to the left. Knee jerk with release and potential bounce, 2 way day tomorrow. Do not expect much in O/N, may see sideways with drop and pop after Open. When bearish tilt is full, many times a bounce will follow. Today was a wide MOP and a big move will follow.
Note
To help IDS 27 users, White is Long above Blue, Red is Short below line break and Yellow is Short zone. You can set trades at levels when price breaks these lines.
snapshot
Note
White is mid MOP above and Yellow is mid MOP current. Should be range on any lift.
snapshot
Note
Reviewing the day, today (10-12) was a narrow pancake. Just not much to work with. Tonight O/N may lift some (not much), this will offset some of drop at release and NAZ should test higher. May want to set buy limit orders below to catch good pricing. The proceeding hour to final hour today had some strong buying until the 908 level stopped it out.
Note
Example of how to use IDS 27 with 30M chart
snapshot
Note
3 Leg Long set up
snapshot
Note
KL's (key levels) are needed. NAZ currently KL inside moves. At KL the NAZ will move inside or away from KL. Down trending PA. When NAZ begins to pass KL's, the trend changes to KL target with passing PA. 10837 will move either inside and try for 10806 for bounce, should NAZ pass KL 37, it will try for 56.
Note
Red circle is 1st short, White is add and yellow would be buy zone or reverse. Stop on short would move to White circle until lower (lowest) KL's inside bounce creates a KL pass.
snapshot
Note
White line is likely support for Long or Good Entry. Many times the NAZ will move 50 points or more above or below GE to clean out stops prior to move. Above for Short and below for Long.
snapshot
Note
Blue line shows distance away from orange and white line above shows bullish divergence. This suggests a Snap or strong move higher.
snapshot
Note
Short from 10870 is reversed to Long at 3rd hit of GE. Adding additional Long should GE drop near lower KL. Stop is the profit you made on the short. Or you can wait for IDS to show the Long confirmation before adding or taking Long.
snapshot
Note
You also need to look for stalling near KL's this is a warning of head fake or inside move at KL. Stalling is bad and Spikes are good, the NAZ had 3 spikes at white line but is stalling at 37.
snapshot
Note
10837 head fake and now in stop clean out from GE.
snapshot
Note
10806 is inside move and is what you want to see, this must hold. All this is early to IDS Long Signal. Expecting that to follow. 10772 could be clean out bottom.
snapshot
Note
Circle is clean out of all the stops under GE. This may continue as stalling continues. Repeat Repeat until we have inside pass at KL.
snapshot
Note
Whites are Long signal.
snapshot
Note
Good take profit or raise stop, Blue dots are trend change signal (to Long).
NAZ may retest 20 on stall.
snapshot
Note
Hopefully this helps. NAZ is flat and the 2 trades produced 75 or so points, so far.
Note
KL 56 is back to inside and divergence above, take profit signal.
Retest near 22 needs to pass 56.
snapshot
Note
Retest to 22 is most likely a stop clean out for try to 80. Notice Blue dots are gone, orange is leveling and turning up, Once Blue is back, most likely 80 is target.
snapshot
Note
Circles are great add signals and upper white arrow is Mid MOP and target should NAZ pass 80. 22 just turned into a TLX and this is good. Blue line and should next.
snapshot
Note
No blue no go, 22 should hold. Place stop on add. Back near Open.
snapshot
Note
TLX held and 80 hit
snapshot
Note
TLX Long hit Mid MOP>
snapshot
Note
This recent move up had to do with UK Tax Plan U Turn, it seems. Not actual just an idea and everything pops. Risk is to up side at this time, if so the stall will be interesting. If you are Long you may wan to close and reload, your call. Back after Open.
Note
It took all night, NAZ passed 908 the hard resistance level from yesterday. Mentioned that the Riggers would try for it. This is KL and above is Long, below is Short.
snapshot
Note
Lower target is hit and this is exactly what we want. NAZ should float higher near or after Open.
Note
Drop expected and did not play it. O/N most likely setting up drop test or Long set up. We shall see, bottom day would come on heavy selling and this type of move. Recently when O/N is lower the Open picks up. Need to let it play out.
Note
10650 is 1st test on lift.
Note
snapshot
Note
VIX is lower?
Note
Long at anytime. NAZ will rally higher. 650 is target
Note
snapshot
Note
Target hit
Note
My lower target was Good Entry, NAZ went lower to get stops. Typical. May revisit GE 10600.
Note
snapshot
Note
VIX is dropping.
Note
Developing a MOP. 10675 to 10500
Note
NAZ down 220, you should be up 150, plus any O/N action earlier. Play the MOP.
Note
Block the noise and play the movement, stepping out.
Note
10600 retested and held. Long above and short below. Retesting now, again. may see 2-3 of these.
Note
KL's inside or pass is the indicator.
Note
Long day, NAZ will rotate some. Drop/Pop likely. Take your time and trade at KL's.
Note
10600 to 10700 looks like head fake, most likely will retest 10600 again. Trail with stop.
snapshot
Note
What I am seeing, as NAZ lifts higher the drops are taking out stops and then going higher. Wide stops and let it climb. Or trail wide. DZ is flakey. Hard stall at KL is the key signal.
Note
10700 and 10650 to 10600 are levels to watch. NAZ is double the drop of others.
Note
30M wicks are not good. Needs to pass 706 and retest from above. if not will drop.
snapshot
Note
Today was a perfect Edge Trade and is why this is working. Others are Flat now.
Note
Still under yesterday low and not clear until we pass.
Note
KL's
snapshot
Note
TICKS at 2,000 Close Longs.
Note
908 again. NAZ may drop some at no pass.
Note
Let this play out, quick drop is likely or trail I am good on points, stepping out.
Note
CAPITULATION, trend is changing may see some serious whip here.
Note
Sorry for bailing, I was playing 5 contracts.
Note
Crazy day, both targets are hit.
Note
NAZ tested Top 1st 30M, twice.
Note
Clean out from 10940 to 11100, Under 10940 is bearish. 908 again.
Note
Mid MOP Zone, NAZ should stay in and will shoot big out of
snapshot
Note
11044 is target from 10920
Note
Long to Top MOP, Close or trail.
snapshot
Note
NAZ may shoot out or come back in MOP Zone.
Trade closed manually
Great points total today. I know we missed the initial drop, although the day is playing out as predicted. Not sure the NAZ gets much higher. Could see wild run up in final hour or see a drop. Getting to the point of unknown. From here my calls will be higher risk and you may disagree. May or may not make anymore, depends on what I see.
Note
NAZ is stalling at Monday's high 11135, passing that is "Air Pocket" back to Box Bottom 11529
Note
11000 is O/N High, KL.
Note
NAZ is on 5% run from bottom and was 37% YTD at Low. Could we really see an 7,8,9% day? Really.
Note
NAZ needs to pass 11075 this time. No pass, it may drop to 34
Note
The NOISE, how could so many analysts and such get it wrong and not see the 6% range of the NAZ? We only get a few of these days a year and need to run them FULL with multiple contracts. 11080 retest here is final test, next trade should be 1 way off result or direction.
Note
NAZ stopped at old low. Break out follows arrow.
snapshot
Note
Low bounced off mid channel.
snapshot
Note
Not impressed, NAZ at Monday high and past 2 days were pancakes. I liked the dip/bounce but was looking for more on the lift. O/N will most likely be a Rocket Rigger Rally to play off this. 10950 (the 2,000 plus tick level) will defend any drop.
