Chart Signals Strategy Guidelines

When the market is trending up Chart Signals looks for support bounce and resistance breakout entries.  

When the market is trending down Chart signals looks for resistance pull back and support break entries.   

When the market is sideways in consolidation Chart Signals will look for support bounce, diagonal breakouts and pull backs at resistance where price action stays between support and resistance.   

Technical setups for short-term option trades be in and out by earnings release.

Over earnings release use earnings option strategies such as straddles, strangles, OTM calls or puts.

After earnings look for bullish setups in positive reaction stocks and bearish setups in negative reaction stocks. 

The Market Forecast Green Line and is in the upper zone.
