S&P 500 Futures Short daytrade!Morning Traders.
Let it be known I would NEVER consider shorting the S&P Index unless I had lower lowes.
On the daily I've got lower lows and lower highs. This market should be ready to give us 60 ticks. Which on a single futures contract is $12.50 a tick.
Entry 2240.00 Notice how the gap to the downside will be filled right when we take entry.
Stop loss (SET IN STONE) at 2255.
Target at 2220
Very risky and I dont like the thought of shorting the S&P AT ALL. But the setup is right.
No emotion. Just lower lows.
Cheers!

Gap Still Needs To Be Filled on EURUSDWe recently had a major gap in the markets after the first rounds of the French Election process. On EURUSD the pair gapped up nearly 200 pips. Price came down quite a bit over the last week, BUT the gap hasn't been filled yet. The market doesn't like holes, and it doesn't like uncertainty. Euro's been consolidating within a 100 pip range, but I believe that the next round of French elections will trigger a drop in EURUSD, filling the gap. This trade has a great risk reward ratio, and comes after multiple retests of the highs. Entry at 1.0910. Stops above 1.0950. Targets at 1.0850's, 1.0775, and 1.0730.
Short OpportunityWhat we have here is a double top at gap fill level while RSI is pointing downward. I think this is a great short opportunity with the whole sector being in a downtrend.
AAPL H&S Gap Fill ShortEDIT: sorry if the on chart text is small - essentially from left to right the text boxes on the chart say,
1) observe the gap
2) We assume the spike down in Sep is anomalous
3) Downward price target of H&S is the distanceof the neckline to head
4) NEckline retest confirms the pattern
People will laugh at you if you say $75 as a price target for AAPL. But there are some good technical reasons to believe it might happen, outlined in this chart.
WE have an unfilled gap at $75, and a confirmed H&S top with a technical target that takes us to the gap.
Sentiment has turned and while a move to $75 would be extreme for such a profitable company, extreme things happen in the market more often than we like to think.
Even if you don't like the short, if AAPL does freefall, the $75 mark represents an excellent target from which to buy and hold as an investor, if you believe the company is extremely undervalued at such a level.
Breakaway Gap From Mid-July Filled. Hammer Reversal FormingI am long KNDI here after filling it's breakaway gap form mid-july. After a heavy two week sell-off, the stock is finally showing some strength after filling that gap.
After trading down to a low of 14.79 today, KNDI rallied more than a full point to form a textbook bullish hammer reversal candle. I am long at 15.75 with a PT of 17.47 - Approximately at the pivot point (11% upside projection)
