IWM: EW Forecasting Posting this publicly as part of an ongoing challenge to myself to improve in forecasting using Elliot Wave principles in conjunction with some other tools I've picked up along the way. These are not trading ideas - just having a little fun with charting how I see some interesting moves playing out
ES - S&P and Russel futures experiencing pressure by 10 year YDespite the really bearish technicals on both S&P and Russel 2000 as well as many considering those indexes highly overvalued — there more than 1T sitting in Treasury being ready to go into the financial economy.
We can assume that support lines will hold the bearish pressure to some extent.
As well we can assume that the 2020 asset crisis will not repeat due to the full support of central banks on markets to function with the least volatility possible.
Patterns can evolve into next week, but be aware not to overhold short positions.

About me:
Hi, my name is Jacob Kovarik and I´m trading on stock exchange since 2008. I started with a capital of 3000 USD. My first strategy was based on OTM options. (American stock index and their ETF ). I´ve learnt on my path that professional trading is based on two main fundaments which have to complement each other, to make a bussiness attitude profitable. I´ve tried a lot of techniques and many manners how to analyze the market. From basic technical analysis to fundamental analysis of single title. My analytics gradually changed into professional attitude. I work with logical advantages of stock exchange (return of value back to average, volume , expected volatility , advantage of high stop-loss, the breakdown of time in options, statistics and cosistent thorough control of risk). At the moment, my main target is ITM on SPX index. Biggest part of my current bussiness activity comes from e-mini futures (NQ, ES, RTY). I´m trader of positions. I´m from Czech republic and I take care of a private fund (over $4.000.000 USD). During my career I´ve earned a lot of valuable experience, such as functionality of strategies and what is more important, control of emotions. Professional trading is, in my opinion, certain kind of mental training and if we are able to control our emotions, accomplishment will show up. I will share with you my analysis and trades on my profile. I wish to all of you successul trades.

Markets enter the consolidation phase: Russell2000 still bullishI perceive Russell2000 as being in a still bullish phase, however, it might need more time to settle. Today we might see mild pressure to the upside with light volume. Remember, today is a short day for CME. US Stock exchanges are closed.
Another short term hedge opportunity #stocks After the huge run in the Russell I am using the index futures to hedge against long equity exposure in the portfolio. I am not bearish on the market on an intermediate term (weekly) basis but in the short term I think its a prudent time to protect against any potential volatility spike or profit taking in the market especially going into a long weekend. My stop will be above yesterdays high and if the hedge works, price should be heading back into the range (rectangle) from last week

How much more of a spread can there be?Since the lows in March the Russell 2000 index has out preformed the SP500 by almost 40%! It is even up over 20% from the range highs in October. It has been a truly historic run but is now a good time to hedge or take profits? We are long equities broadly but have been hedging into the new year to preserve gains. You can never lose by protecting yourself. The Russell might be the best instrument to use give its huge outperformance. Yes financials and other key sectors in the index have been strong and yes their strength may continue but nothing moves in a straight line forever.
IWM Bullish LongIWM is an Exchange Traded Fund (ETF) which follows the Russell 2000 Small Cap Stock Index. I purchased call options (just regular, no spread) Strike 200 expiring Jan 2022 because I belive IWM has shown consistent bull market uptrend since November, and consistently uses the 10 Day Exponential Moving Average (EMA) as Support. IWM has shown better consistency, in my opinion, than SPY (ETF following S&P 500), and while QQQ (ETF that follows the Nasdaq 100 index) has outperformed most other major indexes in the past few years, IWM's lower prices made it more attractive to me. The growth may be slower than some other indexes; but as my first trading teacher stated, "You don't go broke making money." This may be a boring strategy, but I believe it will still be a profitable one. My stop loss plan is set below the 20 Day EMA. The yellow dotted line is the approximate price per share of stock when I purchased my calls earlier today.

IWM, Russell 2000 retracement?The Measured move of this triangle has been reached. I had a good strangle trade on IWM with calls/puts purchased before election. Strangles are terrific strategies when you know a big move is coming and the leverage of options can 5-10x or more in these type of moves. I'm now hoping for a pivot down in the market.. it could be mild- I don't know. We could melt up until end of 2022 but I'll be patient for retracements.
