There are some AMAZINGLY large divergences, so much so I'm having trouble scaling the charts, this looks more and more like it could become a 1-day key reversal, but even if not, the charts are way more bearish than the fade of the open might even begin to suggest.
I am that impressed that I have to get this note out in case you are considering action in any particular trades and need a quick read on the market, the charts are following as I'm almost done compiling them, although several updates will be needed. The Nikkei 225 futures don't look like they'll disappoint either, their divegrence more than suggests the original expectation of a dead cat bounce followed by Sunday night's bearish trend reasserting itself, in fact probably the macro bear trend finally taking center stage.
If I had any extra dry powder, I would be using today's strength, the pinnacle of the warning just before the October rally when we knew by the charts a monster up move was coming and it would be useful to short in to, but (with my challenge to book mark that post warning in advance of even the start of the rally-just a day before) it would be emotionally terrifying.
I'll have as much evidence as I can get out to help you make your decisions, hopefully enough evidence for you to make an unemotional decision, which ever way you see fit. For me, as I said, if I had more dry powder which I may depending on MCP's action the rest of the day, I'd be using it here and now SHORT , for as strong as this move up has been, it had one purpose, to be convincing enough to not only dissuade the rampant bearish opinion at the time (mid-October) and numerous calls of a bear market, but to be strong enough to get retail to chase and provide demand that could be sold in to. This move was always seen as a means to an end, not the end itself. This move was always seen as a monstrously strong move, but before it even started, the next pivot move to the downside has always been expected to be significantly bigger and all indications are off the map with little precedent suggesting EXACTLY that.

My Charting Software
3C Quick Start
Many of the charts you see here at WOWS are my proprietary indicator 3C which reveals underlying institutional money movements and often contradicts price. To understand the annotations made on charts, you must first understand that 3C has no numerical value, it is a pure divergence indicator. Positive divergences represent accumulation by smart money, negative divergences represent distribution by smart money and when 3C trades with price, that is trend confirmation.
The chart annotation system is simple; white arrows represent relative positive divergences, red arrows represent relative negative divergences and green arrows represent trend confirmation. When 3C is in a white or red box, that represents a leading positive or negative divergence, leading divergences are the most powerful.
We analyse 3C in multiple timeframes, the longer the timeframe the stronger the accumulation. 1-2 min timeframes represent intraday moves, a 5 min timeframe can represent a day or two and 15 min timeframes average trends of a swing trade nature. 30 and 60 min charts can move the market for a month or more and daily charts can be over a year.
You'll get use to seeing the charts and understanding how the multiple timeframe analysis works and works well.
Welcome to Wolf on Wall Street.
The trades featured here are meant to maximize returns with the least risk and highest probabilities. Unless otherwise mentioned, all trades are meant to be executed at market. I prefer long-term trending trades which perform well in rising markets, but really stand out in declining markets. However, we get occasional one day gifts 30,40,60% 1-day gains. I'd urge you to consider taking some or all off the table in such cases, the markets don't give gifts like that often or for very long. Most of the returns that make the system outperform so well come in short-entry trades. If you are opposed to short trades, this is not the system for you, unless you are ok with buying an inverse ETF. If you would like more information about the truth about shorting stocks, just email me.
Risk management. I recommend a specific and consistent risk management approach to all positions. In most cases we try for 2% risk money (2% of portfolio) unless such a position size exceeds 15-20% of overall portfolio in actual position size. Each trader is different and each has a different allowance of open trades. I like to keep the overall money in the trade around 10-15% of portfolio per position in case of gaps against you. Stops are generally executed at the end of day and I personally never place a stop order, all my stops are mental; remember, the middle man gets to see everyone's cards. When you are not in tune with the market or opportunities just aren't that spectacular, I take my risk per position down to 1% or even half a percent of portfolio value.
Each trader is different and must determine their own level of comfort with risk. I do have a channel stop which I provide to TeleChart/StockFinder users for automated stops, I appreciate you using my links to sign up if you do. The Trend Channel catches trends and works well as it automatically adjusts for each stock's volatility. Arbitrary exits based on nervousness about the markets WILL decrease the portfolio performance dramatically. This system will not ever get you in at market bottoms or tops. The recent 1 year performance against the Russell 2k buy and hold had the system beating it by 3:1. Ultimately it is up to you as to how you proceed, but I'm always available to help you determine what might work best for you.

I do use other scans and systems when market conditions warrant their use and may change strategy with market conditions.
The MOST IMPORTANT tool you have to bring you long term success is RISK MANAGEMENT. There are plenty of articles linked at Trade-Guild.net on Risk Management. We can be wrong 75% of the time and still outperform the market with solid, consistent risk management.
Position Sizing
The position sizes noted in the positions @ 2% risk of portfolio are based on a $20,000 portfolio-adjust as needed. Due to tight stops, there is the possibility, even probability that one position could take up the entire portfolio. You need to decide how many positions you want to trade and reduce the position size according to that. For instance, if you want to trade 5 positions in a $20,000 portfolio, no one position should be valued at more than $4,000-not risk money or 2% rule, but share price entry x shares.
