Hello gentlement. This 200sma seems to be a strong support area right now. Am I using the right input data (Last)?

 

There are several ways to do it. None are "right." But last is probably the one you want because it is the most common. It just means use the close of the bar, I gather.

 

Not sure whether the 200 has much of an effect on a 5 minute chart. Not saying it can't, I've just never heard of anyone using it.

 

 

The price action is so schizo now. :eek:

Thanks Gary. That's what I meant, the one that was most often used. I notice some of the old timer floor traders they interviewed on CNBC they metion the 200 sma several times. One said that, I think he said S&P went below the 200sma, so I figure some floor traders pay attention to that. And today I noticed that the 200sma was a major support area:

The big move up at the end started with extreme versions of your jackhammer candles on the 5 and 15 minute charts. Keeping cool and waiting for your set ups works well in this environment I find.

I think that was due to Disney.

 

I love this quote:

 

``At some point people finally decided unless everything in the world suddenly goes bad here, this is a good time to get in,'' Ernie Ankrim, who helps manage about $200 billion as chief investment strategist at Russell Investment Group

 

Who needs a reason?

Abe - first, it's nice of you to share your charts with everyone for a visual. Second, GET SNAG IT already!!! Seriously, it will save you so much time!! You should be able to take your screenshot, draw your rectangles (and clean looking ones) in about 30 seconds. I have a feeling it's taking you a bit longer with whatever software you are using.

 

I know how time consuming chart annotating can be and just trying to save you some of that precious time!

Thanks Brownsfan. It is $40 though. Once I become a successful professional trader I will be able to purchase such luxuries, but until then I have to be careful how I spend my money.

What's wrong with using the save chart as image functionality built in to most charting apps?

 

Depending on the amount of annotations, notes, etc. SnagIt can be a very nice tool to have for 40 bucks. And the uses beyond just trading are impressive with SnagIt.

Most charting packages have something; however my point is that most are clunky and not user friendly. And for a quick chart annotation, Adobe is way overkill where you can hit your printscreen button and SnagIt takes the screenshot and off you go. It's quick and easy. That's it. It's 40 bucks and it does so much that can make documenting trades, etc. much easier. And if 40 bucks for SnagIt is expensive, Adobe is going to be way out of the question.

    • Date: 18th November 2024. Monday Market Analysis and the Week Ahead! The NASDAQ inches up ahead of NVIDIA’s upcoming earnings report. NVIDIA will release their earnings report on Wednesday. Analysts expect NVIDIA’s Earnings Per Share to rise from $0.68 to $0.74 and Revenue to rise by $3 billion. The US Dollar remains strong as investors contemplate whether the Federal Reserve will pause in December. The Fed Chairman advises the US economy remains strong and the employment sector stable. The GBP was the best-performing currency in the Asian session, but will this continue as London starts trading? NASDAQ – Investors Turn Their Attention To NVIDIA Earnings! The NASDAQ fell for 5 consecutive days last week due to the US consumer and producer inflation striking fear amongst investors. The US inflation rate rose from 2.4% to 2.6% and the producer inflation from 1.9% to 2.4%. In addition to this the Federal Reserve advises the US economy remains strong and the employment sector stable. As a result, only 65% of investors expect the Federal Reserve to cut interest rates in December, particularly lower than the previous weeks. Though, certain key events could prompt higher demand and investors to contemplate buying the NASDAQ at the lower price. The higher demand is also in line with what many price theories would suggest. The NASDAQ’s average resistance point from October is at $20,511.29. The price has now dropped below this level and many price theories indicate that a retracement will end around this price. However, analysts would also urge investors to consider what else will drive investors to buy, not solely the price. For this reason, investors will be closely watching NVIDIA’s Quarterly Earnings Report on Wednesday. NVIDIA is the NASDAQ’s most influential stock holding a weight of 8.69% and is already up 0.52% in pre-hours trading. The market expects NVIDIA’s Earnings Per Share to rise from $0.68 to $0.74 and Revenue to rise by $3 billion. If the company beats these expectations, the stock is likely to rise and can support the NASDAQ. On Monday, investors will keep this in mind while trading. Besides the upcoming earnings report investors are also monitoring the volatility in the Bond Market and the VIX Index. Bond yields continue to rise which is a concern for the stock market. The US 10 Year Treasury is up 14 points, however, the VIX index is 1.45% lower which is known to be positive. Buyers will be hoping for the VIX to remain low and for bond yields to drop. Whereas, sellers will be hoping for bond yields to rise further and the VIX to correct back upwards. GBPUSD – Will The Cable Retrace After A Seven-Day Decline? The GBPUSD has declined for seven consecutive days which is a price movement which has not happened before in 2024. In addition to this, the exchange rate has fallen back to the support level from June and August 2024. Therefore investors are considering whether the GBPUSD will retrace slightly higher on Monday. A retracement in the short term could potentially take the price to the resistance level at 1.26810 or 1.27190. A retracement is possible according to analysts as the GBP is the best performing currency of the day and due to the low price. In addition to this, the US Dollar is not expected to be influenced by any economic releases until Friday, when the US as well as the UK will release their Purchasing Managers’ Index, whereas the UK will release the Monetary Policy Report tomorrow morning and their Retail Sales within the week. In terms of potential areas to consider speculating a buy, some traders may take into consideration the breakout level at 1.26270 or once 65% of the previous swing has been made. This would be at the 1.26314 price. Always trade with strict risk management. Your capital is the single most important aspect of your trading business.
