Trade the 30 Second Bars, There Is No Longer Term 5/6/21


Recommended Posts

First, the 2 hour bars. I mean, what is this? Meatgrinder? Veg-o-matic? Slice and Dice? Shake and Bake? Swing Trader's Nightmare? Day Trader's Delight?

I guess it all depends on your time frame. 

Today sets up bullish. 

No.

Wait. 

Today sets up bearish. 

No. 

Wait.

On the hourly bars, the dour Europeans have repelled the Asian Tiger rebound at the downtrend line.

We're right smack in the middle of this infernal trading range. It's 5 AM in New Yak. The hour of power. Decision time. 

Or not.

Bulls won yesterday's screen game with 34 buy signals and 12 sell signals. That reverses Wednesday's output. That score was 10 buys to 38 sells. 

We've had a couple days of 45 to 56 sell signals over the past 10 days, But that's still well below the the thrust of the 155 buy signals that started the 6 month cycle up phase back on March 28. That was the Big Kahuna. That wave has waned, but there's no big counter wave yet. 

The 5 day total is 101 buys to 127 sells. That's a slight increase in buys since yesterday. Overall it is weak, but not intermediate term thrust territory. Good chart reading and picking should allow for gains in both directions. Bad reading and picking will lead to two way losses.

That's the problem with rangebound markets. When it comes to swing trading, strong trends will cover for a multitude of sins. Trading ranges are meat grinders that can chew you up. This is when it pays to day trade, using very short time bars, measured in minutes.

I screen all stocks and ETFs from the NYSE and NASD, excluding those with less than an average of 1 million shares per day traded, and selling for less than $6 per share.  The table below shows swing trade buy signals and sell signals from yesterday's action. The numbered columns represent the time frame of the support or resistance trend around which the signals were generated.  

Every weekend I use the previous week's screens to select charts that have potential for a move, and I post them for subscribers.

Unbelievable bullshit market. Trade those 30 second bars like there's no tomorrow because that's the only time frame that works. 
 

Total bullshit.
