Oct 21 2010


Let's discuss the methods of bottom fishing once again. TNA chart shows two long entries of counter-trend kind. Interestingly enough, both trades have exact same structure - 51.70 break for a long trigger with stop under 51.60. The setups, however, are different. First entry is pure "capitulation" play. Sharp drop with volume spike indicates selling exhaustion, and exact entry is being determined by a)volume drop-off on the last red bar or two and b)little pause, couple quick moves between the support .60 and resistance .70, thus giving us the structure for the setup. TNA went to 1:3 r/r, then mercifully returned to re-test the support and give us second play. This time around it was double bottom setup confirmed by lower volume on the second low. We went with aggressive entry. In total deja vu, .70 break, stop under .60 and 1:3 r/r once again.
Notice one similarity in both entries, and keep in mind that this is extremely important one. We do not try to catch the bottom on the "left" side of the V-shaped bottom. We are trying to get in on the "right" side, AFTER the actual reversal. Details of each setup are different but this part is the same: entering on the "left" side is merely guessing, "right" side gives you some indications to build the structure of the trade. Sure, you will miss exact bottom but good luck to whoever tries to catch those.


Later on we played TNA once more off 50 for 50+ cents. All in all, pretty nice day.

[14:01] {davd} just quoting it from fidelity news - get it every morning.  i did not calculate it,
[14:01] {nemo} they give you support and resistance levels?
[14:02] {davd} yes the top was 118.94
[14:02] {nemo} cuz it looks like spy wants to test .01 level
[14:04] {davd} might be.  here is the quote "Pivot Low: $117.370. These were calculated using the DeMark method. It is generally believed to be bullish when price breaks out above the pivot high or bearish when price breaks down below the pivot low"
