PTG Trading

Prior DTS Briefing stated: “Today is Cycle Day 1 (CD1)…Normal is for some magnitude decline with average measuring 2447.32.” Actual LOD = 2445.50 so simply a perfect CD1.

Today is Cycle Day 2 (CD2)…Price has rebounded a bit off of yesterday’s low (2445.50) and currently trading 2460 pre-cash open. We would anticipate early resistance to develop between 2462 – 64 zone with buy response redeveloping closer to 2454 – 56 zone.

STAY NIMBLE and ALWAYS USE PROTECTIVE STOPS.

Today’s Hypotheses: September 2017 (U) 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:  Bulls will need to continue with strong buy response near 2454 – 56 zone to stabilize and absorb any renewed selling.

Scenario 2:  Bears will look to “cap” price no higher than 2462 – 64 zone and respond aggressively to any buyers.

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!
