excellent trade wsj

I forget who asked, but I checked the daily chart, it was a 90% down day about an hour ago, but at the close it is no longer a 90% day.

LOD was 1109 i.e. sq nine exactly....

Thanks pt_emini.

1009

KoolBlue - great call
CharterJoe - great call using square of nine

Man, im freakin exhausted... i consider my self very lucky today! Still have an outstanding 15 min proj . around 1083(maybe tomorrow?) Cant understand whats holding up the fed from a surprise rate cut! Surely they wont wait untill the 30th? WE could be at zero by then!LOL(PS, DOWN SIDE PROJ. IS AROUND 1040)

Joe how do u calculate those square of 9s? THEY DO SEEM UNCANNY!

seems like every time we approach one my work says the same area!... seems like too much for pure coincidence to me

Note also, again the 'round number ' turning point.(1109 even) . Isee that time and again in these market crashes.

You "could" figure them down so close to where there only pennies apart. But thats not the way they are used by me and also Gann. Here are the numbers I use, these are about 19 points apart, some more some less....

Some common sense should be used...like don't trade these alone mix them with something good like $TICK, Market profile or RSI, If a market is doing a breakaway gap don't expect much on a counter-trend trade instead go with the trend after the number is broken. Treat them like everlasting pivots....


A good ex for a scalper would be the ES right now 10-7 at 2:30 the ES hit a high of 1042.5 thats close enough to my sq nine at the same time the 1 min RSI is overbought and the $TICKS are at the highest levels of the day, so it falls and falls to where? the next sq nine 1025 at that time the $TICK is reading -1000 time to get out of the short and go long. I have never seen them go from sq nine to sq nine so fast 2 years ago it could have been up to 3-4 days before hitting another sq nine and we would play the ES to death off that single S/R number using only a few other simple tools.

P.S. I trade front month until there is less than 5 days of time left then I switch to the next month and I only trade those exactly in the money.
