PTG Trading

S&P 500 e-mini (ES) Average True Range (10) continues to contract, currently 13.15, which has made for lackluster trading with sub-par daily volume. This type of trade action keep traders on the sidelines only perpetuating further low volume and range. 

Today is Cycle Day 1 (CD1)…Normal Decline measures 2375 should this occur…Price has tested lower range edges twice and each time has been rejected…Price still needs to cleanly clear and convert 2386 – 88 zone to get some spark above 2392.

Range Projections and Key Levels

HOD  ATR Range Projection: 2392.15; LOD ATR Range Projection: 2374.10; Cycle Day 1 Low: 2381.75; 3 Day Central Pivot: 2384.00; 3 Day Cycle Target: 2400.16; 10 Day Average True Range: 13.15

Today’s Hypotheses: June 2017 (M) Contract

*****The levels outlined below are more general framework within a larger range…They are to be used are reference prices from which to consider trade opportunities, not hard trade levels.

Scenario 1:  IF price converts 2386 – 88 zone to upper support, THEN initial objective is to push through 2392 and convert, thus setting up further upside targeting 2400 handle.

Scenario 2:  IF price violates and converts 2378 – 76 zone to lower resistance, THEN downside measures 2372 – 70 zone, followed by 2365 cycle range low.

Trade Strategy: Our tactical trade strategy will simply remain unaltered…We’ll be flexible to trade both long and short side from Decision Pivot Levels. Continue to focus on Bull/Bear Stackers and Premium/Discounts. As always, remaining in alignment with dominant intra-day force increases probabilities of producing winning trades.

Stay Focused…Non-Biased…Disciplined  ALWAYS USE STOPS!

Good Trading…David
