Why Equities Are Going To Be Choppy ES1! & MNQ1! When the Indices are working together we get clean moves. When there is divergence in the technicals between the E-mIni S&P 500 and the E-mini Nasdaq 100 we get a very choppy environment and it usually frustrates a lot of traders. March is setting up for a bumpy ride as there is no clear path for the Indexes right now. In this video I explain why the S&P and Nasdaq will remain choppy in the near future, why traders need to keep an eye on the 10Y1! and the 2YY1!, and what we need to see happen on the charts to give the bulls or bears control of the market. I use Bollinger Bands, Auto Anchored VWAP, RSI and Moving Averages for my technical tools.
Past Performance is not indicative of future results. Derivatives trading is not suitable for all investors.

Marlo's Going To Hell NQ Swing Strategy I know it's so simple you can't believe it! Is it magic? Is the Devil running the Stock Market!?!
Nope, what you're seeing is the all-pervasive 50% Principle in action!
www.investopedia.com
"It states that if an asset drops after a price increase, it will lose between 50% and 67% of recent price gains before rebounding. "
So over any given range, the retrace will test the thirds for support and resistance. NQ counts in the thousands so xx666.00! You'll see similar across smaller TFs and ranges as well using 33.34% and 66.67% retraces.

Trading Series – The ManagementMost of us will spend about 90% of our time thinking of what to buy and at what price we should get in. In fact, that is only 10% of work done.
Focus on this scenario instead - “After getting into a position, how are we going to manage it with either a calculated loss when market go against us or how should we take profits when market perform better than our expectation?
As usual we will do a few case studies on how I manage my positions for this year.
Today’s content:
1. 90% of us – Spending too much time on “Getting in”
2. Steps to manage our trades after an entry?
If you have been following, today’s is the 7th tutorial in our Trading Series:
1. “The buy strategy”
2. “The sell strategy”
3. “Developing long & short-term view”
4. “Choosing between the time frame”

Specific Trendline to Determine the Direction of any MarketHow to identify the specific points for trendline to determine the direction of the market? In this example, I am using the Nasdaq index.
You can use this trendline technique to any markets because its principles in this tutorial are applicable throughout whether to an individual stock, indices or even commodities.
I am going to introduce the primary and secondary trendlines, I hope after this tutorial, it will bring greater clarity in how you can deploy them.

Intra-Day Trading TheoryTrading opinions can be made in a very concrete or a structured manner just like how investors study into the financial numbers of the stock they are about to invest into.
Short-term traders also have its numbers they study into, it is the price behaviours or the price data of the instrument they are trading. When these data are converted into a pictorial format, it becomes a chart.
And I am going to share with you a simple illustration on intra-day trading using trendline and divergence, to derive entries.
You will find how this can be done in a very structured manner and you don’t have to guess too much into it.
I have included some links below on my previous videos on trendlines and divergence.
The first rule:
The first about intra-day trading theory is we have to acknowledge the word “intra-day”, meaning all trades are done within the day itself, and we will have to square off all our positions before the market closes. This is Because we do not wish to carry any risks overnight with unexpected gaps.

Nasdaq: Bear is In-ChargeA typical characteristic of a bull market as seen is its significant highs are higher and its lows are higher.
However, the market has confirmed moving into bear when the market broke below the major uptrend on the 3rd week of 2022.
Now we could see the Bear is in-charge. And a typical characteristic of a bear market as seen is its significant highs are lower and its lows are lower.
Before 2022, my strategy was to buy on dips. However, starting this year when the major uptrend line was broken below, my focus now is to sell into strength when opportunity arises. Of course fundamentals also play a big part when Jerome Powell mentioned in December 2021 that U.S. inflation is "not transitory". Then we all know the Fed was preparing the environment for more interest rate hikes in 2022 and maybe beyond.
When things change, our strategy changes.
Why I am shorting the Nasdaq? Even when the trend is upCommon mistake made using trendline

NQ/MNQ Breakout or Breakdown?Bulls have had a nice and surprising push after fomc to the upside this week. Will be watching if price respects the DT line and will consider this an uptrend day in a bear market instead of an official uptrend reversal period until DT line is broken and value created above. I like longs above 500 as there is plenty of space for bulls to prop this up above there and short below 340, however, closed the day in key supply zone. Currently also sitting at 61% fib and will see if it can create value above 61% and push to 50% or reject below 61% going into next week. No bias, following the price/momentum and playing what the market gives us going into next week. With fomc, recent geo-political events and simply no news for this run-up, next week will should bring more volatility as well.
NQ1! - Nasdaq Pitchfork Short ExampleJust study the chart and you see the process.
The scene of the crime as my mentor always said ;-) is where price broke down hard the first time. Often than not, price has the tendency to come back to these levels. As it did today.
Price ran into the "Scene Of The Crime" or the "KillZone" and got hit on the head several times. Here you had 3 chances to short the market, with a decent stop, giving you a perfect RiskReward trade.
The target was obvious. The centerline.
Price got there to the tick and turned on a dime.
That was a perfect pitchfork trade.
As for a filter I like to use the RSI or even the MAC and/or the AO. What ever makes me feel good for a trade, I'l take it if I have proof that the tool helps me in my trading.
So, go and study the pitchforks, but don't think its easy. It's simple, that's true, but it's never been easy, at least for me.
The most important part in this trade for me was the Stop. The phrase "Never loose money" is kinda dumb. But it carries a truth. By only risking very less, you are never exposed to loos your "soldiers" in a fight/trade.

NQ / MNQ - Ready to climb and here's whyThe red pitchfork indicates the ongoing downtrend is intact.
The Overshoot below the lower medianline parallel is acting now as support as we can see at the green circles.
The 1,2,3,4 numbered channel (which has nothing to do with the pitchforks btw.) is up-sloping. Point 4 is projected from the slope of 1 & 2, and the attached handle at 3. This gives us the inflection point 4, which converges perfectly with the red L-MLH .
This is a good time to draw a new (grey) pitchfork. And we see how wonderful even the handle touches the prior convergence (green circle & L-MLH).
RSI has already crossed to the upside on the 24th and seems to hold now the critical oversold level to go north again.
To me, these are nice indications that NQ will move to the upside. A superb Risk-Reward Trade.
Nasdaq Going bearish target 14400
