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.

Mon 04_29

A key for the above (5-min) chart to define the horizontal lines and dots.  For further explanation, see this link:  

First hour:

Breadth - started out pretty strong in the morning, rermaind so throughout the day

Volume profile coming into the day

The weekly SPY has been showing this divergence for some time now (similar to the "overbought can remain so for a long time" a divergence can see price continue to go contrary to the divergent signal).  The daily is clearly showing a cycle environment.  While it could be a topping pattern a move out of this INX 1600 ceiling on momentum should result in a measured move higher.  So far the SPY is in a double-top with potential for a complex Head & Shoulders pattern.  Wednesday is May 1 (sell in May cliche) AND a Fed day FYI
