April Monthly + CDV Scenarios

 Bigger moves can start from HTF MA coil/catchup.

Save add for pullback?

How far best wins went days after. Max MFE, DD, what kind of PB do I have to tolerate. On 1hr 20ma? 30min 50?

5min CDV

Themes must scan through sector. 





Ive been having trouble getting down what each cumulative delta volume scenario means. There are 9 possible situations. 

But first, some rules about CDV

CDV is equal to market buy minus market sells. 

If its moving up, there are more aggro market buy orders, down, sell orders

Generally, CDV moves with price. When it doesnt, that is the divergence to pay attention to.




If Price is....

Flat and CDV Down


The up moves are weak. Buyers did not have to try hard to get price higher. Sellers are willing to sell at higher prices, and with buyers weak move, it is a reversal opp.


Flat and CDV Up


Buyers are aggressive, but sellers limits are absorbing the market orders. 

This is bearish IF price reverts lower and buyers are unable to break through,

This is bullish IF price can finally break the range high as it shows buyer aggression.


Down and CDV Flat


Selling pressue is light. Price maybe making new lows, but is not with aggression. Buyers waiting for dips to buy lower. Reversal Opp.

Bearish if, CDV breaks and price acts the same moving lower

Bullish reversal if price reclaims higher as sellers trapped. 



Up and CDV Flat


Buying pressure is light, price moving but with no aggression. Sellers waiting to sell higher, Reversal opp.

Bullish if CDV breaks higher and price goes with.

Bearish if price reclaims lower as buyers trapped. 



Flat and CDV Flat

Up and CDV Up

Down and CDV Down

Are all converging signals. No divergence so we expect price to keep following. 


Up and CDV Down

Down and CDV Up

Are opposites and very rare. If it does happen, reversal opportunity.

Trading Plan

Time is a thief for the impatient. And a gift for the patient.  Do I need to think about selling options?  It makes sense to sell puts, internals clearly strong, but the market is not in clear position to make that a good trade yet. Wait until its clean and clear. I would rather not sweat, than risk more money in uncertainty.  BEFORE THE BELL -Premarket Checklist. -Is the market Trending, Chop, or turning? -Is Sentiment making any significant trend breaks? -What are best/worst performing sectors?     -Are any breaking out or down? -Do I need to make adjustments to my investments? -Does yesterdays action look likely to continue today? -Have we gone in a straight line to S or R?      -Do I need to be cautious of an overextended market and look for reversal instead of continuation? WATCHLIST PREP -SPY/QQQ FANGMANT+ always in play.  -Monthly/Weekly watch always in play for VA breaks.  -Proper boxes and Anch vwap charted.  -Scan through ...

11/30 DRC

 Last day of the month. Not much trading exactly to talk about. Big issue last week was speed. I was slow in almost all cases. Trying not to look too much into it. Took a few weeks off, its expected to take a bit to get back into the swing of things. Risk was main focus as a goal going forward. Correct size, consistent risk throughout every trade and setup for consistent results. That I did good with. Main things to focus on 1. Following entry criteria, making sure I trade what I am supposed to 2. Using correct size to reflect risk already determined by setup 3. Must be faster with ^^^ 4. Cut losses fast on adds. In and out, dont wait. 5. Follow management rules, up 1R/2R etc. 6. Take profits in 3rds.  7. Enter trade with small size if it is leaving without me. Big adds come in only if core is at price and action I want to see.  Market looks hot. Nothing but breakouts around. Gapping down a little, recovering already though into the open. SPY at and holding above prev lo,...
