PIVOT MAGIC JOURNAL - EXCERPT

Good morning,

Besides getting practice scratching, we did manage to squeeze a couple of profitable trades
out of yesterdays swinging Price Action.

When the Bulls failed to take charge, things went as we expected in yesterday's PERSPECTIVE,
leaving the tape nicely set up for a continuation of Friday's Bull plunge.

Be prepared.

[SNIP]

5 = Full-sized Double top of the Close stalls in the "green fog", but then pushes off the underside of the PL with a 123 "S" (red arrow).
Entry below the Pivot (blue arrow), as the BBs finally return from drinking lunch (pink arrow). Initial stop is gratefully advanced
above the Pivot.

F = Giant red candle puts the position in violation of the PMT Maximum Profit Giveback rules. Mental stop at Giveback level. Notice
that this is also a 2-candle 123 and take the opportunity to add contracts!

G = Large red inverted (Bull) Dragonfly (exhaustion sign) through the LowW. Twin Towers (pink arrow) adds to the warning. A
stall/sag is next. Briskly move the profit-locking stop above the LowW and prepare to exit.

H = Doji spike and Black Volume Bar of Death. That, plus to the previous 2 exhaustion signs, and we must conclude that the end of
this dive is nigh upon us. Exit on the first signs of white.

J = Much to our surprise, the next candle is a large red one. Per our Pivot Magic Trading stop rules, move the profit-locking stop
above the high of the candle.

Still alert to the exhausted Momentum signs, warning of a Pivot retest coming soon, experienced readers of the tape exited as the
next (white) candle retraced 62% - Fibonacci) of = J. +/- 5.25 points

This reversal is mid-air, so we watched as Price Action move north for the Pivot retest without us.

PERSPECTIVE
(Daily, bottom right chart)

The Bulls didn't have enough strength to drive through the plum line (Historical S/R) leaving us with yet another breather day candle.
This time it's a red spinning top/Dragonfly. Once again, the breather closes at the southern tip of the large red candle from Friday.
Unless the Bulls really manage a powerful rally at the open, the tape is again set up for a continuation of Friday's massive charge south.

REMEMBER: Trade the Tape, Not my Prognostics!
