Read­ing the Tape

  • What is printing? 
    • 16:05
      • HTF
        • We had a HTF200MACAR just before open
      • TTF Over­bought before open into TTF R
      • Oppor­tu­ni­ty (if any)
        • HTF50MABO + PB
    • 16:35
      • HTF
        • Poten­tial 50MABO
      • TTF
        • TTF R AD long-bod­ied can­dles looks like mar­ket is load­ing up for pos­si­ble HTF50MABO?
      • Oppor­tu­ni­ty (if any)
        • HTF50MABO + PB
          • 1st effort — scratched
          • still valid oppor­tu­ni­ty — TTF R still valid
    • 17:05
      • HTF
        • Still above VWAP no rea­son to believe HTF50MA is not in effect anymore
      • TTF
        • TTF R AD test­ing 200MA right now if there is a BD I will stop out
      • Oppor­tu­ni­ty (if any)
        • Still HTF50MABO attempt
        • 2nd effort in process, no SO yet, if there is fail­ure then we might have a dou­ble touch HTF200MACAR mean­ing we could see a big­ger move to pos­si­bly HTFLKC
    • 17:35
      • HTF
        • HTF R with­in SD
      • TTF
        • TTF R still in process no clear signs on mar­ket direc­tion just yet
      • Oppor­tu­ni­ty (if any)
        • SO on HTF50MABO
        • Pos­si­ble HTF50MACAR to LKC, wait­ing for TTFLKCBD to start a TTF D NT or TC
    • 18:05
      • HTF
        • Pos­si­ble HTF200MACAR  and PA reject­ing 50MA
      • TTF
        • TTF R 50MA CAR into big drop from 200MA pos­si­ble BD 
      • Oppor­tu­ni­ty (if any)
        • HTF50MACAR with TTF R D NT
    • 18:35
      • HTF
        • HTF show­ing bear­ish signs espe­cial­ly after the TTF50MACAR how­ev­er we are still with­in TTF R
      • TTF
        • TTF R still in effect had a 50MACAR but still with­in bounds
      • Oppor­tu­ni­ty (if any)
        • HTF50MACAR with TTF R D NT through LKC BD
    • 19:05
      • HTF
        • Drop to HTF LKC as part of HTF R 50MACAR
      • TTF
        • TTF R 50MACAR to LKC BD
      • Oppor­tu­ni­ty (if any)
        • Even though PA dropped to HTF LKC in a very steep decline it is pos­si­ble that there is a rever­sal com­ing up. Rea­son for think­ing this is that VWAP is still above LKC and before we could have a TC we would need the VWAP to drop further
