Feb 02 2011

Some setups are not only profitable but also elegant - almost aesthetic joy to play them. Today's Catch of the Day is of this kind. Let's look in the anatomy of this chart, to make the play clear. First, look at the big yellow area marked CUP. That's, umm, a cup of a Cup and Handle setup. Smaller yellow area marked HANDLE is, unsurprisingly, handle of the same. $32.90 is C&H's rim - resistance to break and trigger long. There is however one element of this setup that is not exactly right - look at the volume configuration. While cup's volume is more or less correct (repeating price configuration by rising toward the rim and drying up toward the bottom), handle's volume is all wrong - last test of the resistance occurs  on lower volume. Thus, instead of playing setup directly we went for fading it - shorting setups failure. Handle's bottom is at 32.70 but using it as a short trigger would give us too wide stop, so we went for aggressive entry at .80, with stop above .90 (you remember the difference between 3 kinds of entries, right?) The rest is history.


Other than that, beautiful day with 5 wins out of 5 calls.
