Here is why I am shorting the QQQ. Check out the chart attached to the post. You can see the market is tightening up. I am betting we will break down and be good for atleast a $1 pullback on the QQQ. Right now I am short a few thousand shares and continue to add to my position. This trade is a multi day swing trade. --MIKE
If we do break down out of the pattern shown in the chart above.. I will add my final leg of the position.. I am looking to short around 3000 shares total. The reason I am using QQQ.. is because of its scalabality as oposed to NQ. --MIKE
A DAILY CHART that goes back over a full month, with trendlines that really don't add any value to the 1 Point SCALP that you are positioning yourself for? Doesn't make much sense.
Either way, it doesn't add a lot of value when you are simply trying to SCALP 1 point out of the QQWQ's. I can understand your point regarding "tightening-up", but the trendlines leave a lot to be desired. How about some moving averages on a smaller duration chart, say 15 - 30 minutes?
WHats more desiring ... Moving averages? stochs? macd? And all the other bullshit that never makes any $. To me its all about the price action. On the 60min chart the QQQ is forming a rising wedge and is tightening up. I am anticitaping a breakdown of atleast $1 point. --MIKE
Yea, I set up also correction type trade for QQQ and SPY but entry is after breaking last days consolidation supports.
