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.

short setup
V looks to be setting up on the short side as it flags at support. On previous tests of $70 price has bounced, here it seems as though buyers are disinterested in this price.

base breakdown example
Thursday, July 29, 2010
a recurring theme
On the heels of a previous post...Short setups in RIMM and FCX
First, we have an established range with S/R which will give us potential targets on the breakdown move (also worth noting, the overhead Supply in this case is an earnings miss gap down):
We get a few bounces off of support, only to see buying interest wane before the breakdown:
Same situation in FCX

How fast the tide turned:
RIMM ended the day in a long-legged doji after tagging it's 50-SMA

short setup
Along the lines of a previous post, here's a similar setup in VMW today:
Price is within a range with established Support/Resistance levels
Price broke down once buying interest waned, ideal entry is on a mini bear flag
end of day update

failed short
Shorted JOYG and got stopped out, but I still love this pattern where you can just see buying interest just die.
The Support-turned-Resistance zone was working early in the day, but the more it comes back to test it and the more the buying interest wanes, the higher probability it will break down from support.
I entered on a little bear flag setup and got whipped out (stop too tight), had I stuck with it I can see the potential of where I would have gotten back in with much cleaner price behavior within the later bear flags at support
