IWM trade ideas

IWM Wed Swing Turtle Soup LongToday was one of the most difficult trading days many have seen. It had me thinking. Generated buyside liq above Mon and today's high. Also relative highs with last Thursday's high. The 4 day trading week generated some buyside as well, yet also comes with some bearish undertone. One could argue we have yet to make a daily lower low in this trend. You know how last week was a 4 day trading week? There's some unbalanced price ranges in the premium market that could go for some balancing. PMI is projected to release higher than prior. and that would carry volume. There is also intraweek buyside above the 4 day week's highs that could be swiftly repriced to. I'm thinking we may end up having a Wednesday weekly reversal to the upside. We have some bullish structures to base trades and risk off as well. 1hr OB provides decent upside targets considering the timeframe and relative risk. Market just feels like it's in seek and destroy. Might as well attempt to take advantage of volatility!

IWM daily sell, it's over for small capsIWM after it was rising up and hitting overbought territory there was a chance for small caps to have a beautiful bull pullback. But then yesterday, instead of a small candle on a small volume, after a small gap up, it start to drop and drop and didn't finish till market close. With it, IWM breaks a major support line from its channel and found its first support on 20 days MA. Will 20 days MA hold support it is yet to see, but chances are small. Volume is increasing but is still below 20 days average volume so this drop is not the best example of the breakout. RSI is dropping hard. MACD is full bearish with histogram ticking red and with MACD crossing below signal line signaling down we go. Overall: IWM could find some support at the dotted line, but will it hold? It was resistant 3 times and once support but it is below 20 days MA, meaning if drops below 20 days MA there is a huge chance it will just be blasted below that support line. The next major support line is a bundle of 50 and 200 days MA. Breaking below them small caps ETF is for sure going to test lows from 2022 and almost certain at new lows. However, from the bullish side of view, it is still not yet over. Bulls have to find power and start buying it but need to do it the right way. They still can have their bull pullback pattern and bring it too high but need to step in and start buying hard.

The Russell Riddle: which chart is 2008? ($IWM W) For the answer, scroll down to the comment section. Two charts of $IWM weekly TF. One chart is current (as of 2/4/2023). The other is 2008 ,up to 4 candles before the 50% drop. Which one crashed 50%? The conundrum: why do we assess current price action as bullish, when a similar pattern resulted in the GFC in 2008? There are many possible answers, none of them wrong. The one that interests me is the possibility that our bias is more extreme when we have experienced (traded) the price history. In this case it means experiencing the climb from the October 2022 lows. The alternative is basing our bias on the price history in a chart but *without* experiencing the returns themselves. For example IWM's similar price action in 2008. Any difference in sentiment would be consistent with studies showing that decisions made from experience often diverge from those based on description.

Opening (IRA): IWM February 17th 193 Covered Call... for a 183.77 debit. Comments: Since I still have broad market short delta hedges on in IWM, QQQ, and SPY, replacing a lot of the long delta I took off yesterday in one fell swoop here with covered calls. Here, I'm selling the short call paying around 1% of the strike price in credit. The 193 is paying 2.10 ($210) at the moment, and I'll look to roll it at 50% max. This isn't the best place to be doing this, since IWM is well off its lows and risk premium has collapsed here, but am just looking to keep my portfolio "net delta happy" for the moment.

#IWM Russel 2000 looking technically bullishSome real meaningful progression for the bull case in US small cap stocks. 50 dma > 200dma Price has cleared the critical resistance level between 187-188. Price has some short term resistance at the 38.2% fib retracement here, but it looks like we should progress to the next resistance level at the 50% fib retracement at 200. Chart is showing a clear formation of higher swing lows and higher highs. Hard to be bearish this chart. Opportunity here to buy the breakout with a relatively small stop as a close below 187.50 might put the bullish case on hold.

Programming Pinescript for an EMA IndicatorThis is a tutorial on how to program a simple, EMA indicator in pinescript. I use pinescript heavily in my day to day trading and, as I am not a coder, I struggled at the start to try and find resources on how to program using it. So I thought I would provide a brief video tutorial on very basic, fundamental aspects of pinescript by having you create your very own, functional indicator! At the same time as creating an indicator, it will give you a sense of the fundamental basics of pinescript that will hopefully make you feel a bit more comfortable in tackling projects on your own. Of course, I can't cover all of the functionality and all of the options in a 20 minute video, but this will give you a strong foundation to perform basic to more intermediate tasks with pinescript, if this is something you are interested in. I do plan on doing more quantitative based tutorials this year, and many of my methods utilize pinescript heavily. So before I do that, I figured its good to give you a basic understanding of pinescript before showing you more advanced stuff of what I do. Please note, I am not a coder and only started learning this stuff last year. Coding was very scary and I perceived it as "impossible" for me to learn. But here I am, not even a full year later and have been able to learn a ton, with much thanks to the tradingview community! If I can do it, so can you! If you would like to see more tutorials on pinescript functionality and more advanced functions, please let me know and I am happy to continue to build on these fundamentals for you to develop more advanced skills. As always, take care, thanks for watching and safe trades everyone!

RUT @ the gate of "Havens", if rejected only "Hell" is the ALT !Golden Cross vs. Death Cross: An Overview Technical analysis involves the use of statistical analysis to make trading decisions. Technical analysts use a ton of data, often in the form of charts, to analyze stocks and markets. At times, the trend lines on these charts curve and cross in ways that form shapes, often given funny names like "cup with handle," "head and shoulders," and "double top." Technical traders learn to recognize these common patterns and what they might portend for the future performance of a stock or market. A golden cross and a death cross are exact opposites. A golden cross indicates a long-term bull market going forward, while a death cross signals a long-term bear market. Both refer to the solid confirmation of a long-term trend by the occurrence of a short-term moving average crossing over a major long-term moving average. KEY TAKEAWAYS A golden cross suggests a long-term bull market going forward, while a death cross suggests a long-term bear market. Either crossover is considered more significant when accompanied by high trading volume. Once the crossover occurs, the long-term moving average is considered a major support level (in the case of the golden cross) or resistance level (in the instance of the death cross) for the market from that point forward. Either cross may occur as a signal of a trend change, but they more frequently occur as a strong confirmation of a change in trend that has already taken place.

I'm still fascinated by the small cap crashI continue to be fascinated by the fact that small caps once retraced their entire post-Covid move. What I mean is, the Russell 2000, which is 2,000 companies that are identified as small cap stocks, had such a terrible year in 2022 that they went BELOW were they were before Covid was ever a thing. But why is this interesting? Because roughly $5 trillion was spent to stimulate the economy in various ways after the first Covid panic occurred. So let's quickly think about that: the Russell 2000 was, at one point lower last year than it was before an extra $5 trillion hit the economy. I continue to wonder what this means: did the market overreact? Is it stagflation? Did the recent rise in interest rates suck that $5 trillion back up? The money supply is shrinking again? There are tons of questions to consider and I also think it's important to wonder if this is still not the end. The following assets have still not yet retraced their covid highs: • Tech stocks and the Nasdaq 100 • The S&P 500 • The Housing Market • Inflation • Price of food • Price of average goods Keep in mind, several other assets have retraced and crashed quite hard including: • Vehicle sales and car prices • Crypto market • Treasuries/bonds So the question remains: is there more carnage ahead or will the market stabilize from here? The Fed does seem to be on a mission to crash food prices, inflation, and by extensions soaring housing. So one must wonder if the policy toward that eventually makes its way back into markets, including the S&P 500 and Nasdaq-100, or if indeed the worst is over and now we are plateauing. Part of me thinks its possible the Fed will get inflation under control while also preserving some of the market gains in tech, S&P 500, and more. Time will tell. So much more to think about.
