cup and handle breakouts mentioned by ken calhoun and dan zanger
tape reading ken calloun.
when speed up of tape. When bigger number of bids for15- 20 seconds then there is a signal
dont trade when something inside previous day range. Ill take positio.
number one rule is don't trade when something's inside the previous days
We look for imbalances of buy and sell pressure at or near previous days high. With a small buffer above that to keep out of false breakouts, when the tape is strong when there is a speed up of the velocity of transactions that are being printed on the tape.
Dont trade within previous days range because institutional HFT programsand biocells usually don't activate until you are out of previous day high low range. Ill look at tape as it is nearing previous day as it is nearing previous day highs . See how fast chew 10cents actions. The faster it it cuts 20.1 and looking at buy if breaks 20.18.. like to see how fast it nudges 10cents, but if it backs down that tells me to stand clear. If it reaches new highs and cutting through these 10 cents decimals quickly, then I would scale into it on size.
See institutional interest in the tape[time and sales] then see if there is interest in the level 2 for those
beginning and end of the cycle best times to trade pre market/after hours and first 20 minutes of the open.
