The setups I include on this blog are used in conjunction with the 3/10macd and the criteria I ascribe to it as a way to alert me to an existing condition of price. The key concept to take away from this blog is that I try to anticipate what will happen on the higher time frame by using a faster time frame to trigger the trade setup. I do not trade a "system" I use two indicators to clue me in to price conditions. Please read the Disclaimer located in the sidebar of this site. I can be contacted via email at toddstrade@gmail.com
I am always open to questions, comments, or suggestions on how to improve this blog.

Worth Watching

Going into this next week or two I'll be watching for AMZN long entries.
The higher time frames have a strong trend in place, with trend line support.  The recent downside momentum was the largest ever, which could be an omen for things to come.  However, this shows itself as a reverse divergence on the higher (monthly) time frame which often leads to snap-back rallies (which may or may not form its first lower high).
Monthly:  Trend intact, reverse divergence (2c criteria).

Weekly:  Trend line holding on a small divergence

Daily & intra-day charts:
The daily has an inverse H&S pattern on diverging momentum (setting up a possible 3d setup).  Certainly wouldn't want to see it give up $170 below (actually wouldn't want to see it fail the 50% Fib retracement of the Head to right shoulder).  The first hurdle above will likely come from the $182.76 level.
Primary target $199, secondary $216.  Essentially I'd like to see a break of the overhead trend line on a strong momentum bar.
