Really like the trade follow up like you are doing with SPX Iron Condor and MCD set up adjustments. Looking forward to you having more active positions and the follow up adjustments for our learning.

Good morning, Dave. Thank you for your time and thoughts on the market. I definitely see the bull flag on the SPY right now but can you talk about bull flags on the SPY where the price action gaps up to start each day making the higher highs but then trades down for most of the day. Do you find that these tend to only go to the previous high or have any impact on reaching the flag target?

Thank you!

Steve

Thanks for all your efforts with your blog. I had missed reading it for a few weeks and when I looked at it, there were the video tutorials. A great addition!! Thanks so much for doing this. The ones I have viewed are about 30 mins and this seems like an excellent length.

Thanks again and good trading

Mike

Dave,

Great video, I love it when you say when, DIA hit the target
move on to another stock and deploy your capital there until
Dia set up for another trade and don't look back if it keeps going higher
just focus on the setup

Cheers
Mike

after close video last night is replaced by this morning's video, I think. Can you please check? :-)

Steve...SPY action is very typical in consolidation...this flag is morphing into a pennant...based on trend and a pennant being a short-term trend continuation pattern also...seems likely to ultimately resume with trend similar to the consolidation of DIA twice in July that led to trend continuation...DJ

Jun...I'm showing it was still there...sometimes a post rotates off the first page and needs to be accessed from the left hand menu post or the older posts link at the bottom of the page...let me now if it is still not showing up...DJ
