Trading Comments

The stock had opened below the reference prices and I was looking it trade around the 18.00. It should´ve drop this level, but did not. I could see the buying pressure on the way up. It tested the 18.25 once and failed it. On the second test, it broke above with good volume and I got in at 18.26. Tape reading skills helped me to take the trade on a momentum setup.
When momentum was over I closed the position.

Evaluation

The entry and execution of the trade was fine. This is how I like to trade, stocks with fast prints and momentum. Lately the market is not showing this movements pre-market, so I´ll need to adjust my opening strategies.
Also I could´ve stick to the stock and find other entry points in the stock.

Economic Calendar



SPY - Yesterday we had the level of the previous range tested at 160.25.
1-) Neutral (40%) - I don´t see the market gaping (up or down) today. The references for this scenario are the 159.50 and 161.25 level. Before moving to scenario #2 or #3 it has to start inside this range. If I am wrong and it gaps up, look for a gap fill to the down side. If it gaps down, then due to the bearish long term bias, go with the move. On low volatile scenario around the 160.25 level, stay away.
2-) Bearish (35%) - The long term bearish bias and the fact that we are testing the brake down zone, suggests buyers will not hold this level. If we start trading below 159.50 favor short trades.
3-) Bullish (25%) - If the bulls are stronger and decide to move prices higher, we have to possible resistances: the gap area and the down trend. Favor long trades, but don´t be too greed on the profits.

Long Term Bias: Bearish
Short Term Bias: Neutral
Accuracy: 75%
