Happy Tuesday, Happy PMI Day,

NASDAQ is now sandwiched between 10 DMA at 13 374 & 100 DMA at 12 659. Headwinds are getting stronger for NDX since it has broken below June 3 high. Bears want to bring it below 12 700 to regain control and bulls would like to push it back above 13230 to continue rally.

Welcome to an unstable market. Those who are old enough to have experienced or wise enough to have studied the market of DOT COM burst will know exactly what I am talking about

註釋

I stopped trading NASDAQ after one losing trades and two stop outs at entry with no loss on profitable trades. The range was not there. The decision was right. NASDAQ covered just 54% of ATR with only two moves large enough to give 6:1 TPs

My trading plan works on 3:1, 6:1 & 9:1 basis

Overall 3 trades. 2 Winning trades + 1 losing trade

240 - 60 + 60 = 240 pts on 4 positions. That's 60 pts per position with 20 pts risk giving R/R of 3:1

The levels played out well. Here is the zone chart
