SPX is about to form a bearish ABCD

446
Hi pros!

ABCD pattern suggest that the price need a small pullback
after reaching the first PRZ (red)
and pullback to at least the EMA's or maybe
on the second PRZ (blue)

Of course we are in a bull market so
a confirmation in 4H or daily
is recommended before entering short

seems interesting to look for
an opportunity to short at 3260
Note
an other bigger ABCD pattern aim for the same PRZ

Trade closed: stop reached
for the reason. there is two possible reason for this loss:

1) Maybe I was chasing the price, the signal wasn't consistent enough

2)I don't respect the rule of the minimum R:R we fixed. (2 or 3)

third possible reason I was thinking but refuted it, is that the trade was just before Asian close and EU open so a lot of volatility (especially on EU open) but this reason were refuted like I told because I think when you are right the price move in your direction faster and when you are wrong price make the contrary of your plan faster. so the volatility is a double edged sword but for what I saw for the moment not so a disvantage when you take a trade

Next week we will test to add a strategy to our panel (the aim for this is to know where you have the more consistent entry point and the most consistent exit point)
This strategy seem really powerfull in backtest.

Let me explain how to use it. First you have to configurate two EMA's (one on 10 and one on 20 and make it bigger to see the crossing point)

The principles is to use the same strategy as always to make our plan (and know the trend) but now we will readd when the price touche the ema's and rebound on it. It's just simple like that (and the best is to accordate it with pinbar/inside bar/engulfing bar), that's for the entry points to duplicate the winning rate and make more money.

Now for the exit point (and possible trend reversal), we just wait for price to close below both EMA's , then they have to cross and theprice have to pullback and confirm the temporal trend reversal. In this case or in a case of a gap in the contrary of our position, we can take all the profits floating. and try to change direction of our trade

That's simple like that. but this strategy isn't to determine long term trend, only for mid-term. I repeat I will use it only to add some position more (with more safety/security) and to exit all the profit when the trend seems to change.

The reason for me to implemente it , it's symply because I have problem to see where the trend could reverse. and there is time where the price reverse strongly and take a lot of the profit.

this method seems to work on all timeframe but for me the most profitable is 4H and daily
