Testing Uptrend Support

Both major
futures index markets are green yet off their early highs

as we approach midday, with the Nasdaq once again
showing relative strength vs. the S&Ps. Our key intraday three- and 13-minute
trend indicators reversed to the south about 11:00 a.m. ET, and both markets are
showing potential bearish cups with handle short supports at about 933 and 1128
on ES and NQ, respectively. As a result, stops on current intraday shorts on the
late-morning 3- and/or 13-minute triggers could be considered on any market move
north of such levels.

The relative weakness in the S&P market can be seen by the price probe south of
60-minute support, while the Nasdaq remains slightly north of its hourly
threshold. Regardless, both markets are currently testing key hourly uptrend
support which has been in place for much of the last four days.

As the shortened holiday week progresses, traders should be alert for periods of
low volume and liquidity, which will further emphasize the need to scale
profitable exits into retail supply before reversal air pockets surface.

I am a new student of yours and of TradingMarkets.com and a novice trader. I
just now successfully applied your method of trading NQZ2 for the very first
time!  As I gain more confidence I will increase my contract size and learn to
scale out, but for now I have limited funds and need to get used to order entry.
Your simulation is a revolutionary learning method, and

I can truthfully say that the light
went on when I completed your simulation the second time around.  –S.S.

Good Trading!
