Great start to my weekend analysis! I appreciate the calm, positive attitude, which counteracts all the hysteria in the media.

Dave: It is great to be able to monitor your thoughts processes again. I enjoyed your insight into the price action of the $SPX. It was spot on and I have monitored it each day since your video. To be able to interact with an excellent technician is a great blessing. Just know WE appreciate your efforts and pray they continue. Just finished monitoring the "before the close" video. Quite helpful in preparing for Monday's trading. Thanks for all you do. "The Beat Cop"....missing you in Chicago this weekend...

I am still learning something new and getting valuable reinforcement every single time I listen to you. Thank you for providing this resource for us.

Particularly enjoyed listening to the differentiation between short-term and intermediate-term analysis. The weekly candle comparison versus daily candle is helpful as well.

Dave Johnson said...

Tenora, Thank you...calm, objective reality is what I do...others are trying to hook people by using an emotional subjective opinion...glad you see the difference...DJ

Dave Johnson said...

Bobbypin, thank you...someone said "for things to change, I must change," it was my time to change so I could step up and do what I was capable of for the benefit of traders who want to take their trading to a higher level...DJ

I enjoyed the insight of using the intraday chart to help see that support was potentially established on the SPX. Looking forward to seeing next week's videos.

Thanks, Dave! You are a saint!!!

Hi Dave
I really like your videos, especially giving us insights at the beginning of the trading day, before the close and post close. The bonus video for bull flags is very helpful to keep an eye out for next week. Great to see so many setups.
Thanks,
Mary

Dave,

Thank you for starting the videos and continuing the Chart Signals blog. I sincerely appreciate your positive, objective and accurate, information rich perspective. You make it look easy … although I know it certainly is not. Thank you for continuing to share your insights into how to analyze the trend of the markets from a broad as well as more nuanced, subtle nuts and bolts view on the finer points that only a seasoned professional would know. Appreciated the nuances on bull flag patterns, and intra-day basing or reversal patterns following sell offs as indicators of patterns worth considering in the “weight of the evidence,” as well as potential set ups for bullish trades. Insights into intra-day volume in selling and buying pressure on the VIX. With so much that is negative or misleading, I appreciate your positive, grounded and accurate perspective. It is great to hear your voice…over time teaching us how to navigate the charts for ourselves, and demonstrating set ups. I struggle now to follow other coaches who are not as rich in content, are less clear in articulating content, speak to their opinion, and use small price action charts with lots of larger study sets underneath. I’ve grown to appreciate your practical/simple and focused approach.

Sincerely,

Warren

Thank you for the "weekly wrap-up" video. It was very informative, and I am still picking up new concepts, tactics and techniques!

Unknown said...

Dave,
Thanks so much for the videos.....It is especially helpful to hear your take on the intraday market activity, and to get your thoughts about what it could mean, in real time.

This format works especially well for those who have access to the computer throughout the day. It seems you always find a better way to provide the direction we aspiring traders need to get us to the next level!!!

Thank you!!!

Tenore Primo said...

Dave, as I finish my setups this morning, I am looking at TLT, which you list as a divergence trade. It does look like a good swing trade, with the previous high as a target, but I don't understand the divergence. I see higher lows. What am I missing?

Michael Hayes said...

Tenore Primo do you have the MACD on your chart if you look at july 10 or 11 it have a roughly the same low as july 27 but when you look at MACD the blk line is at -.75 for july 10 and for july 27 the blk line is at -.25

Dave Johnson said...

Tenore...divergence occurs with similar or lower lows...in the case of TLT it is a similar low...however always trade what you see...DJ

J. A. Bruhn said...

Great info and analysis.
Thanks Dave!

Tenore Primo said...

Thanks, Michael and Dave. It was the ""similar low" that I was having the trouble with. Now I'm pondering whether a potential gain of 1.60 (the 125.8 area looks like some strong resistance) is worth the risk of 2.60.
