Trading Comments

Tape reading skills - Seller identified at 16.10 and buyer identified at 15.95. When buyer dropped, I hit the bids adding to the position.
Big buyer was also identified at 15.91 which caused me to close half of my position. 

Evaluation

The trade was well executed, but I could´ve load up with 300 when it lost the 15.94.
Also could´ve waited it to reach my target to close the core position at 15.75 and not 15.82 as I did. Just need to correct these things to improve my trading.

MARKET CONDITIONS



SPY - Market is in a sideways movement above 157.25 suggesting that it is holding this level. The up trend line should also work as a support to this up move. As long we are above 157.25 the bias is bullish and since it consolidating now, neutral bullish. If we go below 157.25 bias will change to bearish. The break of this consolidation is too happen today afternoon, most likely tomorrow.
Bias: Neutral Bullish
Accuracy: 100% - market closed near the trend line. Did not do much in the afternoon.

Economic Calendar



SPY - Market has closed above the 157.25 on a stronger movement than expected. This meas the buyer are still present and the fail break high is likely to be a range expansion. The prior range was 157.25 | 153.75.  The range extension is likely to be 159.25 | 153.75. When it broke above this range, longer time buyers where in control. When it fails the break, long term sellers rejected the prices, since it was a strong move. This range extension actually means a change of control from Intermediate to Long term control. For today we expect the market to respect the trend line and test the upper part of the range new range. This will help to delimit the upper part of the newer range.

Bias: Bullish
Accuracy: 80% as market is holding above 157.25 is likely to confirm the range extension.
