Mar­ket Prep

Intraweek Fun­da­men­tals

  • API report
    • Tomor­row
  • EIA report
    • Wednes­day, August 7th

Intra­day Tech­ni­cal Analysis

  • HHTF
    • What is the mar­ket narrative?
      • After we had an exhaust­ed drop DTT we moved back into KC with pos­si­ble LKCCAS
  • HTF
    • Lev­els
      • Prev. High 56.034
      • PVAH 55.912
      • PPOC 55.338
      • PVAL 54.929
      • Prev. Low 54.167
    • What is the mar­ket nar­ra­tive and bias?
      • HTF Could go into R after we had a UKCCAR we would be look­ing for a LKCCAS to con­firm the R
      • Bias in LKC ter­ri­to­ry is Long
  • TTF
    • Does the Asian ses­sion show clues that align with mar­ket narrative?
      • PA has trad­ed with­in HTF VWAP and could remain above this with­out actu­al­ly going for the HTFLKCCAS

Trade Idea

  • Hypo 1 Long
    • HTFLKCCAS
    • Entry around 54.75
    • Tar­gets 55.20, 55.65
  • Hypo 2 Rotational
    • 54.90 — 55.70
  • Hypo 3 Long
    • HTF R 50MABO
    • Entry around 55.40
    • Tar­gets 55.70, 56.- , extend­ed 56.50
  • Hypo 4 Long
    • HTF R Oversold
    • Entry around 54.50
    • Tar­gets 55.30

My goals for the day (Dai­ly Report Card)

  • Define win­ning
    • Only trade A/A+ trade ideas
    • For­ward test exper­i­men­tal trades

Read­ing the Tape

  • What is printing? 
    • 15:35
      • HHTF
        • PA not clean­ly respect­ing LKC, poten­tial for short to medi­um term downside
      • HTF
        • What is the mar­ket narrative?
          • TTF R not entire­ly con­firmed, small PA slop­ing down no clear rejec­tion of sup­port lev­el as of yet, poten­tial for more down­side first
      • TTF
        • Bounce off 54.80 but no clear rejec­tion yet
      • Bias
        • If this stays the same my bias is towards the short side for now unless we find some support
      • Oppor­tu­ni­ty (if any)
        • What set­up am I going to stalk?
          • HTF LKCBD
            • short
          • But stay open for signs of a HTF R Over­sold to go long
            • Long 
    • 16:05
      • HTF
        • What is the mar­ket narrative?
          • Small PA slop­ing down still no clear mar­ket move­ment yet
      • TTF
        • Bounces going down test­ing LKC at the moment
      • Bias
        • Short 
      • Oppor­tu­ni­ty (if any)
        • What set­up am I going to stalk?
          • HTFLKCBD
    • 16:35
      • HTF
        • What is the mar­ket narrative?
          • No evi­dent rejec­tion of HTF LKC on the HTF yet
      • TTF
        • Push back on TTF from LKC to VWAP
      • Bias
        • Long if we can hold above TTF50MA
      • Oppor­tu­ni­ty (if any)
        • What set­up am I going to stalk?
          • Con­fir­ma­tion of long bias as TTF R 50MABO+PB
    • 17:05
      • HTF
        • What is the mar­ket narrative?
          • Still small PA slop­ing down with a doji can­dle that doesn’t look too valu­able at LKC, now if it were up at a resis­tance lev­el than it would have been
      • TTF
        • TTF R has kept below 50MA hence the still short bias for the moment, PA still slop­ing down with a rejec­tion at 50MA and some sup­port in TTF R over­sold posi­tion at 2.0 SD. Look­ing for some­thing more defin­i­tive though. Although the last swing high aws a short one we could see some con­dens­ing of pres­sure build­ing up for a poten­tial 50MABO
      • Bias
        • Short unless we break 50MA
      • Oppor­tu­ni­ty (if any)
        • What set­up am I going to stalk?
          • TTF50MACAR
          • TTF50MABO+PB
    • 17:35
      • HTF
        • What is the mar­ket narrative?
          • We made a move away from LKC but no real CAS in my opin­ion, pos­si­ble HTF50MACAR
      • TTF
        • 50MABO which turns my bias into long but will wait for a prop­er PB before con­sid­er­ing hop­ping on long. There could be a UKCCAR instead which would be in line with HTF 50MACAR
      • Bias
        • Unclear, wait­ing for con­fir­ma­tion of a hold above 50 or per­haps a CAR of TTFUKC or HTF50MA
      • Oppor­tu­ni­ty (if any)
        • What set­up am I going to stalk?
        • TTFUKCCAR/HTF50MACAR
          • Short 
        • TTF50MABO+PB
    • 18:05
      • HTF
        • What is the mar­ket narrative?
          • Test­ing 50MA pos­si­ble BO
      • TTF
        • Test­ing 200MA pos­si­ble BO
      • Bias
        • Long even though I took a short @ TTF200MA HTF50MA
      • Oppor­tu­ni­ty (if any)
        • What set­up am I going to stalk?
          • Wait for BO
    • 18:35
      • HTF
        • What is the mar­ket narrative?
          • We made a HHTF HL and have moved to HTF50MA how­ev­er no BO (yet)
      • TTF
        • Lots of AD @ 200MA and even though I took the CAR play it looks like there might be more upside
      • Bias
        • Long since we held above 50MA
      • Oppor­tu­ni­ty (if any)
        • What set­up am I going to stalk?
          • Wait for con­fir­ma­tion of TTF200MABO+PB to go long
