Homework for Monday, 2009.06.01

Monday is the first day of the new month.  Therefore, as per my trading rules, I will avoid gap plays tomorrow.

We are very close to the 200 dma once again.  It is currently at 925.50.  This is also right where the daily fork's median line is.  The ES is close to a double top, but the NQ is already at a double top (thanks for the heads up Oscar).  The rule goes, sell a double top, buy a double bottom.  Even though the ES's indicators are bullish, the NQ leads the ES, so we can't ignore that situation.

Based on the resistance I'm seeing, I feel we are at a "do or die" area. If we fall from here in the overnight action, I am going to expect resistance if we return up here at the 925 area again.  If we rally above 927.75 (Friday's high), then I feel that opens the door for an even higher move.

Rally UP resistance areas: 929.50 (recent pivot high), 933.25 (1.272 fib extension 3/06 lows to 1/28 highs), 942.75 (1/06 high)

Dip DOWN support areas: Gann levels outlined below, 903 (descending fork), 894.50 (ascending fork) 

Below are the relavant Gann Levels for tomorrow.  Since we are so close to the top pivot (929.50) there are not many Gann levels between here and there.  Note, my script is saying "5/32", which should be "6/01".  Looks like I have a bug! 

 
 
UPDATE: Pre-open.  I completely missed this as one of the targets.  We went right to the fib ext target of the most recent rally (937). So far. The next res above that (as mentioned above) is the 1/6 high of 942.75.  Then the 1.618 level (from chart below) at 952.75.

Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results. The risk of loss in trading commodities can be substantial. You should therefore carefully consider whether such trading is suitable for you in light of your financial condition.  
 
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.
  • The high degree of leverage that is often obtainable in commodity trading can work against you as well as for you. The use of leverage can lead to large losses as well as gains. This brief statement cannot disclose all the risks and other significant aspects of the commodity markets. Before you trade you should inquire about any rules relevant to your particular contemplated transactions and ask the firm with which you intend to trade for details about the types of redress available in both your local and other relevant jurisdictions.
