ES - After a very interesting day on Thursday (as detailed in this blog entry) I feel more downside coming.  I'm looking to short 850.50.  If this level doesn't hold, we have the diagonal trendline and resistance at 858-861 area.

UPDATE:  I'm not sure why I didn't completely write my thoughts down, but a 90° pullback from the close was at 949.50, which is concluence with the 850.50 mentioned above.  So enter 849.50-850.50 with a target was the full 360° move down at 832.  We got very close to both of these enter and target areas (enter price within 2 ticks, and target within a point).  Even though these weren't exactly touched, I will treat the price movement as completed the 360° cycle.  Thus, I am looking for a pullback to the 180° line (858.75) which is also in the area of the diagonal trendline mentioned above at the 861 area.

 

6E - A full 360° move down is at 1.2863.  We got within 5 ticks of this level and now floating sideways.  A 45° pullback from the current low is at 1.2925, where we may find some resistance for a push further downward.  However, the big downward level to break is 1.2860 area.

In considering whether to trade or to authorize someone else to trade for you, you should be aware of the following:
  • If you purchase a commodity option, you may sustain a total loss of the premium and of all transaction costs.
  • If you purchase or sell a commodity future or sell a commodity option, you may sustain a total loss of the initial margin funds and any additional funds that you deposit with your broker to establish or maintain your position.
  • If the market moves against your position, you may be called upon by your broker to deposit a substantial amount of additional margin funds, on short notice, in order to maintain your position.
  • If you do not provide the requested funds within the prescribed time, your position may be liquidated at a loss, and you will be liable for any resulting deficit in your account.
  • Under certain market conditions, you may find it difficult or impossible to liquidate a position. This can occur, for example, when the market makes a "limit move".
  • The placement of contingent orders by you or your trading advisor, such as a "stop-loss" or "stop-limit" order, will not necessarily limit your losses to the intended amounts, since market conditions may make it impossible to execute such orders.
