ES (S&P 500 Futures) - Day Trading Analysis With Volume ProfileOn ES (S&P 500 Futures), it's nice to see a strong buying reaction at the price of 5616.50. There's a significant accumulation of contracts in this area, indicating strong buyer interest. I believe that buyers who entered at this level will defend their long positions. If the price returns to this area, strong buyers will likely push the market up again. Uptrend and high volume cluster are the main reasons for my decision to go long on this trade. Happy trading Dale

ES Futures Initial Balance with Fib Extensions approach.In this example, I used different Fib Extension levels off the ES INITIAL BALANCE high and low between 8:30 and 9:30 am. In the previous example, GC Initial balance was calculated between 7:20 and 8:20 am CST. I came across these very odd-looking, but VERY promising Fib Ext levels that is getting me very exited to start testing them asap. So It's actually not traditional Fib levels. We'll just use the drawing tool for this. It's basically adding increments of 0.3 from 0 to 2.9 and from 0 to -2.9. Here are the levels : . Firstly. I'm going to suggest that you "grab this chart" - www.tradingview.com - or from options menu below and opening it up on a lower timeframe like the 3 or 5 minute and note how price not only reacts at some of those levels but also how it serves as some great SHORT TERM RARGETS. This seems like a great tool to add to my Day Trading style because I generally execute my ideas on my 1 minute trigger chart , aiming to participate on 3 or 5 minute timeframe movement. Secondly, try and extend those levels after the US close, to remain visible through the Asian and European session right up to 30mins before the next US session. You'll find that on most days, during the 'Overnight' they seem to remain tradable levels or targets. Obviously, just like when using any other tool/indicator - it needs to fall in line with your trading plan/ approach

#202436 - priceactiontds - weekly update - sp500 e-miniGood Evening and I hope you are well. tl;dr sp500: Current bullish leg looks more like a leg in a trading range than something of a new bull trend that breaks above the previous ath. It’s 50/50 if bulls can print a new ath or this stays a lower high. It’s too high to buy for anything but intraday and too early to short unless you short small and have a stop above 5800. It’s a bullish structure but you would be buying very high in a potential trading range. Bad R:R. Quote from last week: comment: Not much difference to dax, just that this market was a tat stronger even. Bulls almost reversed completely but 7 consecutive bull bars is as climactic as it gets. A pullback is due but that does not mean you can short it at 5578. Could go further since the obvious pain trade is up. comment : Are we that much smarter than last Sunday after past week’s price action? I don’t think so. Still a lower high. Bulls closed the month extremely bullish but we are at previous resistance. Can’t be anything but neutral. Clear invalidation prices though. Above 5670 it’s bullish for ath retest 5721 or higher high. Below 5550 bears can generate momentum and convince bulls this was just a climactic retest of the highs and we go down again. Bulls still do have better arguments than the bears as long as they stay above the daily ema at 5565. current market cycle: Bull trend inside bigger trading range. key levels: 5000-5700 bull case: Bulls need to break above 5670 if they want a new ath and it look’s very good after Friday. If they fail on Monday, I have my doubts that they can get it. Bulls are still clearly in control of the market or we would have been trading below the daily ema already. Will be interesting to see how many bears come around above 5700 and bulls taking profit, if we get there. Invalidation is below 5550. bear case: Bears see it as a big trading range and we are at the highs again. They start scaling into shorts above 5600. Same observation as last week. Until bears print consecutive daily bear bars or stronger 1h bars below 5650, bulls remain in control. If bears somehow manage to print a bigger engulfing bear bar on the daily chart, especially if it closes below 5600, that would probably be enough to make many more bulls exiting their longs. Interesting week ahead of us. Invalidation is above 5670. outlook last week: short term: Neutral af. Want to see a pullback and also how market reacts to 5600. → Last Sunday we traded 5652 and now we are at 5661. 9 points off. I do think that was a perfect outlook. short term: Neutral again. No interest in bigger buying above 5600. Will scalp long if bulls make it clear that they want a new ath but mostly looking for signs of bear strength over the next week. Bulls closed above 5660 so it’s a buy signal going into next week but my outlook has not changed. I wait for bears to come around and will only scalp longs. medium-long term: Very much like my outlook in dax. Trading range on the daily chart and we are at the highs. We could make higher ones or not. Does not matter much. I expect 5000 to be hit again in 2024. current swing trade: None. chart update: Big ABC correction is pure speculation. Don’t bet on it. I do think the climactic bull rally is over and market is going sideways before the next bigger breakout. Only above 5750 can bulls dream about a breakout above the big bull wedge.

EWT Diamond Pattern, Bearish new ATH's over!?!The last time I remember seeing this pattern was at an all time high January 2022, that over a long time creating this same diamond pattern. There were, and are, many new ATHs created just like in the recent past... other similar features were, and are, Head and Shoulder patterns, many of them, attempts to crash the market and new att time... The head and shoulders is actually my Batman Pattern i discovered, instead of a head above the shoulders, it looks more like the bat ears, and wings above the head... I have posted Ideas about it going back 8 years. In one sentence a EWT diamond top pattern. I think we may not see any more new all time highs for a while. If fact we are at a lower high. EWT: after 3 sets of 5 waves up, and ABCs down, followed by a lower high is called an EWT "tripple thrust pattern", to signal we go down.

Books on trading and Profitunity strategy by Bill WilliamsIn this article, I will share books that were useful for me in the process of studying trading and the Profitunity trading strategy by Bill Williams. Bill Williams "Trading Chaos 1 and 2" ♡ The first and third books by Bill Williams contain complete and up-to-date information on the Profitunity strategy. The second book "New Trading Dimensions" is intermediate and less relevant. The book Trading Chaos 1 includes trading psychology (an integral part of trading), the basics of understanding the markets, candlestick patterns (divergent bars and determining the trend based on a pair of bars, the market facilitation index, volume and squat bar), Elliott waves (characteristics, determining waves using the MACD 5/34/5 indicator, an analogue of the modern Awesome Oscillator, and the Fibonacci ratio), fractals, trading in waves (impulses 1-3-5 and ABC correction). And also very important topics — how to work with your internal structure and how our brain functions (Chapter 11). The book Trading Chaos 2 (co-authored by Bill Williams' daughter Justine Gregory) includes a description of the Alligator indicator in combination with the Awesome Oscillator, divergent bars and fractals. And also tools for working on yourself - morning pages (Chapter 13, from the book by Julia Cameron "The Artist's Way") and autogenic training for traders by Johannes Schultz (Appendix 3). Tom Hougaard "Best Loser Wins" ♡ The book greatly expands the perception of markets, the approach to trading and deeply describes the psychology of trading. The book was first published in 2022 and perfectly complements the books by Bill Williams. John J. Murphy "Technical Analysis of the Futures Markets" A basic book on classical (linear) technical analysis, which also contains up-to-date information on Elliott Wave Theory in addition to the corresponding section in the book by Bill Williams "Trading Chaos 1". Alexander Elder "Trading for a living" (How to Play and Win on the Stock Exchange) A book on the psychology of trading and classical chart analysis, includes a detailed description of popular indicators and a description of the basic strategy "Three Screens" (analysis of the chart on the senior and junior timeframes), as well as an important topic "Risk management". Steve Nison "Japanese Candlesticks" A basic book on classical candlestick (bar) analysis. Thomas DeMark "Technical Analysis - a new science" Constructing trend lines based on the support price minimums and maximums described in the book led me to search for an indicator that displays such bars, as a result, I first became acquainted with the Bill Williams Fractals indicator, even before I became acquainted with his strategy. Theodore Dreiser "The Financier" ☽ A novel published in 1912 based on the life story of the American millionaire Charles Yerkes (1837-1905). The book shows how the financial and economic environment surrounding the main character (Frank Cowperwood) already from childhood forms in him the psychology of a businessman and stock dealer... Robin Sharma "The 5 AM Club" ☆ This book is not about trading, but about healthy habits. But for me the book became useful, including in trading, because I made the following conclusion for myself - it is important to rest (take breaks) every day, and not only on weekends and vacations. And it is worth starting with the fact that after waking up there is free time (about 1 hour) before business activity begins, i.e. either wake up earlier, or move all things forward, so that you can start your day easily. And taking breaks in trading is very important, so I recommend paying attention, for example, to the algorithm for removing limitations using neurographics. (◉ ‿ ◉) There are many good books, as well as good strategies, but I am sure that only independent deep study, practice, good concentration and self-control will allow you to find your own understanding of the markets and your own approach to successful trading.

The Setup, More than NVDAE-mini S&P (September) / E-mini NQ (September) S&P, yesterday’s close: Settled 5637.00, down 15.00 NQ, yesterday’s close: Settled at 19,591.25, down 199.25 E-mini S&P and E-mini NQ futures consolidated lower on Monday in a healthy manner. Despite a dovish Fed Chair Powell at Jackson Hole Friday and bursts of strength across the indices in response to his tone, nothing really changed; the odds of three and four rate cuts this year have not budged, and the market is essentially right back into range. In addition, our opinion is little changed; the CME’s FedWatch Tool signaling 100bps worth of cuts through yearend at a 70.5% probability is overzealous and the rebound from the August 5th volatility event is too clean. Most of our readers are familiar with our style, so for those of you who are not, we are rarely negative on the stock market, but right here, right now, outside of one binary factor (NVDA earnings), we believe the risks are skewed to the downside as those probabilities are to be reined in and volatility will have a gasp at the least. Yesterday’s opening bell range in the E-mini S&P was a classic stop sweep, trading to a new swing high of 5669, just shy of our major three-star level at 5672.75, before reversing 40 points. We now have major three-star resistance at 5669-5672.75 and a new line in the sand in which a close above will reinvigorate bullish tailwinds. Remember, we still have a critical line in the sand for the E-mini NQ at 19,925. With some early weakness, the most crucial level for each the E-mini S&P and E-mini NQ comes in at 5599.25-5603.25 and 19,462-19,495, where a break below is likely to invite heavy waves of selling. Bias: Neutral Resistance: 5637-5646.50***, 5652.50-5655.25**, 5661.75-5665.25**, 5669-5672.75***, 5717.25-5721.25**** Pivot: 5631 Support: 5618.50-5624***, 5614.25**, 5599.25-5603.25****, 5593.25-5594.50***, 5573.50-5582.75***, 5558.50-5560.25**, 5547.50-5551.75***, 5526.75-5536.50*** NQ (September) Resistance: 19,643**, 19,680-19,705**, 19,783-19,801***, 19,832-19,867***, 19,904-19,925****, 19,981-19,995*, 20,025-20,085**, 20,150-20,180***, 20,355-20,371** Pivot: 19,578-19,618 Support: 19,514-19,544**, 19,462-19,495***, 19,394** Check out CME Group real-time data plans available on TradingView here: www.tradingview.com Disclaimers: CME Real-time Market Data help identify trading set-ups and express my market views.
