About Alex - Chart Freak

I’ve been a full time trader for well over a decade and began trading in the late 1990s while working in management and sales at a well-known aerospace company. As my style evolved, so did my success, and it allowed me to leave corporate America to pursue my passion and trade full time.

Nov 15 – Winds Of Change?

November 15, 2017 /96 Comments/in Premium /by Alex - Chart Freak

I would say that we were seeing a normal correction in Oil on Tuesday, and we are heading into the Oil Inventory reports Wednesday, so nothing really changed there. So why did the Theme become "Winds Of Change?" It is because OIL stocks started to pick up in their selling, The Euro situation changed, Biotech broke down further, and a couple of other minor changes also became evident. I wanted to discuss these areas a bit more and the changes that I noticed...

SPX - Each sell off lately is still being scooped back up, but I'm still seeing the divergence that I pointed out a week or so ago as Price went higher. The RSI & MACD are still drifting lower. There is still room to drop on the stochastics, so this time price may want to also drop to the 50sma, or even continue sideways to that 50sma. Why? ...

The TRAN, RUT, BKX, etc., broke below their 50sma. Let's take a look.

11-11-17 WEEKEND WRAP UP

November 11, 2017 /56 Comments/in Premium /by Alex - Chart Freak

This weekend we'll discuss how the markets behaved last week, and at the end of the report, I want to also touch on daily cycle strength. Visuals may help things to stick in our minds

SPX - When looking at past ICLs ( deeper meaningful lows), we can see that the dips have not been as deep as they used to be. This is showing the markets strength over the past year. I now can draw a middle line as recent support. Please excuse the type on the chart 🙂 We do look due for a dip down sooner than later though, don't we?

Nov 12th – Still No Change Here

November 9, 2017 /107 Comments/in Premium /by Alex - Chart Freak

SPX - 'No Change' from yesterdays report. Just keep riding it until a trailing stop takes you out. This can keep riding the upper line higher for a while too.

November 7th – More Of The Same

November 8, 2017 /147 Comments/in Premium /by Alex - Chart Freak

Again, not a whole lot has changed, but I am expecting some changes as we move forward. Let's discuss our current market set ups...

SPX - This looks the same as we have expected, but please notice the recent divergence. This usually calls for a pause , a sideways move, or a dip. Let's take a look at the NASDAQ and see what is happening there...

Weekend Report – Things Are Still Lining Up Nicely

November 4, 2017 /182 Comments/in Premium /by Alex - Chart Freak

The various Market sectors acted as expected this week, so let's take a look and see how things continue to line up in a way that we can profit from.

SPX - The General Markets put in another high DCL, and we've discussed how the pull backs are more shallow lately and what that implies. This would only be day 7 of a new daily cycle. That dip was sharp , but shallow, so 'longs' may not have even been stopped out with a trailing stop. If one was stopped out, this sideways stall has allowed many to re-enter long positions.

November 3rd – PULLBACKS

November 3, 2017 /142 Comments/in Premium /by Alex - Chart Freak

It's Friday, there is only one trading day left in the week, so I want to cover a couple of questions that I get from time to time in todays report. I will do a short review of a few things first, and then I will just cover everything else in greater detail in the weekend report. For now, this report contains a brief review, a couple of trade ideas at the end, and a lesson or two in the middle.

SPX - No change here from our expectations. This looks like day 6 of a new daily cycle.
