Quick post, and just a reminder iam BEARISH, this is a bear market rally - a good one (as I predicted) but it is nearing its top. Sometime next week? Time is the hardest to predict (that's why you always give yourself some extra time in options) but mid August was my turning (market peaking) point (around the 20th).
Thelord : Good post. By the way, when you say gap closed, which MAs are you looking at
iamiam OP Thelord : lots of gaps those are mostly gaps between the candle and the MAs
iamiam OP : I'm actually upset the market is running again, I wanted to reposition
不忘初心方得始终 : if you are shorting means ur playing against the world richest group.
TinkerB3ll : Do you still think oil is still the play? ERX? Haha I have been out for awhile and noticing it going against the market oil sentiment. Wondering should I enter, in fact a couple of ideas came through like KOLD ERX XME wondering any advice?
Ben 23 : Wow. you are really spot on most of the time. haha. I think I am late in the game for the indices but I hope that entry to $iShares Silver Trust (SLV.US)$ at this point is still ok.
iamiam OP Ben 23 : i do ok I actually had my best day of the month so far. That silver spike mid day was awesome, I had just bought another 277 contracts and boom Silver shot up! it was great 20+% in a matter of minutes...
Silver is good, it may outrun the market, I'm not sure yet.
iamiam OP Thelord : now that I have a little time I can explain better.
When a candle (either the bottom or top) separates from the Moving Average(s) it creates a gap and gaps close. So when the bottom of the candle is separated from the 9,11,13(whatever your fast MAs are) that is a gap that must close... The reason is that the price is much higher than the recent average so investors sense a top and sell or just take profits. Either way eventually gaps close... it works both ways, if something gets sold past its average usually buyers sense a deal and buy and the profiteers come in.
Here is an example with QCOM
iamiam OP TinkerB3ll : ERX

XME Quickly not a lot of time left on it.
TinkerB3ll iamiam OP : Haha okay boss :) I thought the natural gas will be dumping but apparently UNG is gaining traction. XME will do, hopefully I can be back in green again was out on paternity duty for the past few weeks didn’t really actively trade. Thank you so much hope you have a great weekend ahead
