Week 4 Trades, Spookywill

Recommended Posts

to strat the week, let us short the ES at 1402. Stop over the high of 1402.75 at 1403.50. This is a typical aucton market trade with a low probability of success, but a terrific risk/reward ratio if it is successful.

I am changing my target to two to one this week to look at scalping so limit in to sell at 1397.50.

 

Mis added, the stop was 1.75 higher than the entry, so the exit price for a two to one return should have been 1398.50 rather than 1397.70.

 

so we just got an execution at 1398.50 and a profit of 3.5 points.

There is resistance at 1395.75 which we have just hit. If that price can be exceeded, higher prices are likely. Our target is 2 x risk or 97.25, raising stop to 1394.

stopped out at breakeven

 

Prices got to one tick of our tagrget and failed. In a trade like that, if you are adroit, take the profit. We were at risk for bad economic news which we got, and prices drifted down before the release, so why not take a small profit. I was getting ready o scrub the trade at 1396 when prices dropped.

scrubb trade, go long at 1393.00

 

My bad, there was a longer term high volume area at 1391 which represented a good long entry.

 

 

Stop 1391, target 1397

We have a two hour balance area in the es between 1393.50 and 1391. current price is 1392.50. True scalpers take profits here at 1392.75.

 

Raise stops to 1390.75,

 

Be prepared to go with a breakput from balance in either direction.

there was a spike to 1392.75 and a reversal off that mini high. reverse and go short from 1392.

stop at1393.50, target 1388. if prices do hit 1388, I would be looking for lower prices from there.

this is a day to avoid obviously, a new low in range development, and rotational trade within a two point range. my bias has been to the upside, we retested 1391 and it held so far, and we are retesting 1391 again.

 

If it breaks here, maybe we will get some down movement.

this is a slow day, no movement, move stops to 1392, try and catch low of current pull back to exit short.

 

We likely will close at or near the high volume point of 1392.50.

    • Date: 28th March 2025.   Market Selloff Deepens as Tariff Concerns Weigh on Investors     Global stock markets extended their losing streak for a third day as concerns over looming US tariffs and an escalating trade war dampened investor sentiment. The flight to safety saw gold prices surge to a record high, underscoring growing risk aversion. Stock Selloff Intensifies The MSCI World Index recorded its longest losing streak in a month, while Asian equities saw their sharpest decline since late February. US and European stock futures also signalled potential weakness, while cryptocurrency markets retreated and bond yields edged lower. Investors are scaling back their exposure ahead of President Donald Trump’s expected announcement of ‘reciprocal tariffs’ on April 2. His latest move to impose a 25% levy on all foreign-made automobiles has sparked fresh concerns over inflation and economic growth, prompting traders to reassess their strategies. Investor Strategies Shift Market experts are adjusting their portfolios in anticipation of heightened volatility. ‘It’s impossible to predict Trump’s next move,’ said Xin-Yao Ng of Aberdeen Investments. ‘Our focus is on companies that are less vulnerable to tariff policies while taking advantage of market dips to find value opportunities.’ Yield Curve Signals Economic Concerns In the bond market, the spread between 30-year and 5-year US Treasury yields widened to its highest level since early 2022. Investors are bracing for potential Federal Reserve rate cuts if economic growth slows further. Long-term Treasury yields hit a one-month peak as inflation risks tied to tariffs spurred demand for higher-yielding assets. Boston Fed President Susan Collins noted that while tariffs may contribute to short-term price increases, their long-term effects remain uncertain. Gold Hits Record High as Safe-Haven Demand Rises Amid market turbulence, gold prices soared 0.7% on Friday, reaching an all-time high of $3,077.60 per ounce. Major banks have raised their price targets for the precious metal, with Goldman Sachs now forecasting gold to hit $3,300 per ounce by year-end. Looking Ahead As investors digest economic data showing US growth acceleration in Q4, attention will turn to Friday’s release of the personal consumption expenditures (PCE) price index—the Federal Reserve’s preferred inflation measure. This data will be critical in shaping expectations for future Fed policy moves. With markets on edge and trade tensions escalating, investors will closely monitor upcoming developments, particularly Trump’s tariff announcement next week, which could further dictate market direction.   Always trade with strict risk management.
