A couple of exponential nodes overlapping on the $NDX on Monday, the 28th of December...

Looking at the bottom chart we have a set of overlapping nodes (a .5000 and a 1.000) on December 28th relative to the A-B-C patterns I have labeled. This is only occurring on the $NDX, nothing similar is happening on the $SPX. The $SPX has it's own story, covered below. The $NDX chart (the one in the middle), though, is more interesting anyway, as it looks like that index is attempting a breakout through the trendline that has contained it. Where it stands at the moment, it has not yet achieved… Continue

BullBear Trading Service Update

12/01/09 Update:

The recent setup was for a downside break and a potential rally in the dollar and that appears to have failed. It would then be appropriate to take the other side of the trade.

Recent relative strength in small… Continue

Options question

This question is for options traders:

Suppose you buy a put on a stock that is currently trading at $60 and you want to sell it when the stock is at $58. Is there any way to figure out where to set the stop limit for the option price?
