Management

Trading Comments

It was clear that there was a buying pressure when watching the tape. Could see the offers getting taken faster. I saw a catalyst that drove the first up move above 56.00 when a big buyer came in.

Evaluation

Must not double down. I had justifications to it, but still is a trade mistake. The only good thing about this is that I had my risk under control. Even know I was doubling down I followed the position to see if it was within my risk parameters.
Did a good job in adding into the other positions, Including the last add that got me stopped out of the position and broke the up trend. If the stock were to continue in the up trend I would´ve have a great and strong position. Besides the trade was already in the positive side. The target would´ve been the top of the pre-market range. 

Daily PM Prep - April, 23

** Preparation for Closing Session **

MARKET CONDITIONS



SPY - Stronger move than expected, which is good for buyers. The range extension is possible. A close above 157.25 would be a confirmation of this extension.The bias will only change today if the up trend is broken. Since it has made a strong up move, some sideways action is possible. If we close back below 157.25 than we wait til tomorrow´s open to re-evaluate the overall market picture.
Bias: Bullish
Accuracy: 80% - fake new about a bomb in the White House caused an explosive move down and the market was acting carefully after that. Less liquidity after the fact.

Daily AM Prep - April, 23

** Preparation for Morning Session**

MARKET CONDITIONS

World Markets News: Asian markets finished broadly lower today with shares in China leading the region. European markets are broadly higher today with shares in France leading the region. Core Retail Sales in Canada and New Home Sales in the US to be released before market opens.

Economic Calendar



SPY - Market is trading in range. Europe is up and Asia is down, hard to pick a side, so the mostly like is to go nowhere and trade around the point of control. It may try to make a new high, going to test the top of the range at 157.25, where sellers should appear. If we test the high of the fail break at 159.50, we could have a range extension (unlikely). Yesterday low should hold prices on the way down, but if it doesn´t as the up trend is broken a stronger leg to the bottom of the range at 153.75 or even lower could happen.
Bias: Neutral.
Accuracy: 50% Market is holding above 157.25. This move was stronger than expected.
