07:17:06 Pete | Good morning. We should see another leg higher in /ES. Bullish cross and holding overnight high. Long green candle M5 holding after testing half way point. |
---|---|
07:17:33 Pete | Long ES 3985 1/2 position |
07:27:01 Pete | I only did a half position because the SPY is at the overnight high |
07:31:05 Pete | Irelia wrote: Question @Pete In this article: https://oneoption.com/the-system/market-first/long-term-technical/price-action/applying-our-lessons-1/ you mentioned at point 7 that "as long as the mid-point of the long red candle is preserved for a few days we can take short swing positions". Isn't the mid-point already violated since both green... |
07:32:00 Pete | Thanks for providing the link to the article. It helps those who reference this question and it helped me pin point your question. |

07:47:27 Pete | That was what I was leaning on. If /ES does not advance in the next 10 min I will exit. I was looking for follow thru and we have stalled. |
07:48:45 Pete | Right now we are testing the mid point of the long green candle. OK with that, but it needs to hold. |
08:00:32 Pete | Exit $3982.50. That was a 2.5 pt loss on 1/2 position. I am losing the mid point of the green candle and 1OP crossed back down. |
08:01:37 Pete | Had to repost. Typo on price. 3982.5 not 3882.5 |
08:03:45 Pete | I also did not get the movement I wanted. If we get a bulllish cross in here and hold this price I will consider re-entering. No econ releases at 8:30 AM of importance so would hold thru that time. Most... |
08:04:44 Pete | @JayP 1OP does very well catching those moves. The last few weeks I have posted trades pre-open |
08:06:04 Pete | I missed this move by a couple of minutes. I do like the breakout and 1OP still has not crossed so I am bidding lower |
08:06:25 Pete | It will cross soon in here. |

09:09:19 Pete | PRE-OPEN MARKET COMMENTS FRIDAY – Since the breakout a week ago on a lighter than expected CPI, the volume has dried up. The SPY checked the 100-day MA yesterday and that support level held. This morning the S&P 500 is... |
09:10:27 Pete | Exit ES 3988 for scratch. |

09:41:44 Pete | Two long red candles closing on their low to start the day. That is bearish and it tells us that sellers are smacking this move down. 1OP is close to rolling over. Another long red candle would suggest the gap... |
10:07:10 Pete | Short ES 3962 |
10:14:00 Pete | There is some overlap and retracement on this gap. That means I am not expecting a meltdown. 1OP bear cycle is just starting so favor the short side and expect a gap fill. If we get through the another 20... |
10:15:05 Pete | Volume is ave during this gap fill and that means I can trust the move. |
10:26:49 Pete | LMT is a nice long. Good rel str and bull flag D1 likely |
10:27:52 Pete | CSCO follow thru on D1 breakout and > 200-day MA |
10:29:00 Pete | Exit ES 2 pt gain $3960 |
10:29:33 Pete | We filled the gap and I do prefer the long side. |
10:31:20 Pete | I am going to wait for 1OP to see if it flattens out and possibly crosses bullish. Seeing some tails here and signs of support. |
10:40:13 Pete | Not my kind of stock, but ARDX strong ($2 stock). Heavy volume |
10:41:46 Pete | We are getting a 1OP cross. Blue (dotted) line still falling so will wait for that to flatten out. The gap was filled and we are seeing signs of support |
10:44:29 Pete | RYAN in D1 gap with room to 200-day. I don't like the D1 chart for swing, but could be good day trade. M5 heavy volume |
10:53:05 Pete | I am going to record a video. LMT and CSCO are favs. I believe we are going to get a bounce here. 1OP ready to cross. The half-way point of the last red candle is holding. I want to clear... |
11:19:49 Pete | Long ES 3968 |
11:38:14 Pete | Exit ES 3968. Scratch. This is light volume right now. I needed the move higher and I did not get it. |
11:39:46 Pete | I did the trade during the video. It should be posted soon. I needed follow thru on that last green candle. If we sit at the top of those long candles for 3 bars without follow thru they retrace. |
11:40:45 Pete | @lilsgymdan Perfect. |
11:43:38 Pete | With the exception of the first candle today, the long candles have something in common. Every one of them had retracement. Most of them were completely retraced. |
11:44:30 Pete | That tells you that if there is a long candle, don't chase it. You will have a better entry when it retraces if you still favor that side. |
11:45:50 Pete | I have two articles to finish my long term market analysis section. 1OP and volume. I think I will work on those today. Then I can start on the short term market technicals section. |

14:59:40 Pete | There is a new 1OStudy study (Key Bars) and a new study in All Studies (LRSI). If you do the beta you can check them out. |
15:02:23 Pete | This is a pretty big stepping stone for us because it provides us with more flexibility to build other components. For all of you it is a major PITA to have to configure OSP each day so we wanted to... |
15:04:56 Pete | This breakout looks good just like the others. There is no #$%^ volume so you can't trust it |
15:20:25 Pete | This is a poor backdrop for lottos. If anything I would favor the short side |

15:55:29 Pete | Tick, tick, tick higher.... blam. shut the door. |
15:57:00 Pete | The D1 chart is setting the tone here. Since the CPI rally we've done nothing and the volume has dried up. |
16:04:20 Pete | Very light news week next week. |
16:05:43 Pete | [email protected] Send us an email if you want to beta test the new version. |
16:06:13 Pete | I think it is working fine, but I want to make sure. |
16:14:52 Pete | Get ready for more of this low volume chop next week. The holiday will really slow things down. |
