Summary:
SPY opened with a 60 minute mini inverse pup AGAIN but the 15 minute stochastic grinded up a mini pup to cross the 60 minute stochastic back up through 20 bands. We hit LVS LONG at 54.92avg against a perfect storm breakdown for a reversion back to the 55.18 super fib but had to bail with a small scalp at 54.99 and 54.91, out +.07 and + .01. We hit FSLR SHORT at 51.21avg scaling into the pops for a reversion again off the stinky 2.50s area to the 57.07 fib, to scalp out 57.11, 57.09 and 57.35, out + .10, + 12 and - .14. We tested HPQ SHORT at 35.01 but stopped out at 35.07 on the algo chop, out - .06. When HPW finally cracked 35, it triggered a perfect storm breakdown. We added 3 times on bounces to SHORT HPQ at 34.95avg to scale out into the rug pulls at 34.82, 34.79 and 34.83, out + .13, + .16 and + .12 on heavier size and great liquidity. We weren’t going to trade TGT this morning as it’s usually chock full algos and games, but I spotted a VERY COMPELLING set-up with the DAILY mini inverse pup AND 60 minute mini inverse pup, which is like having pocket aces in hold’em poker.  The 15 minute also formed a mini inverse pup which gave us 3 lane perfect storm, however, the 5 and 1 minute also formed mini inverse pups along with WMT trading at lows convinced us to scale in three times as we hit TGT SHORT at 76.92avg to scalp out the leans to pivot at 76.51 and 76.42 into liquidity, out + .41 and + .50. We chopped around with FB as it was forming a 5/1 minute mini inverse pup but SPY was so damn resilient that we chopped out flat on too many trades before it collapsed despite the SPY, doh. We closed out the day with + $1,158 profits.
