This is daily chart of Sesdaq. Nothing much has changed. There is no sign of recovery for small cap. Directional analysis shows a continuation of downward movement. Negative sentiment is still hanging in the air for now. Trend characteristics analysis shows intact downtrend with no sign of reversal.
I am not interested in any stocks trading for the time being.
Chart Eye: SIMSCI daily chart Snapshot: Ended 09-June-2006
Before a new week get started, it is necessary to have a view of Futures market movement retrospectively. It is beautiful, I would say. A downtrend channel has not been violated at all since it was formed weeks ago. From daily chart, short term time frame, I would say, ‘Downtrend is still intact’. There was a small rebound at the end of last week. I am not optimistic about this jump. Very interesting to know that, DJ sank into negative territory last friday, again. Yes, again. I am looking at area between 280 and 282.4 as resistance zone while immediate support level is around 270.7. This is to provide me a bigger picture during day trading.
Here is what my chart eyes see
Directional analysis:
Downtrend intact, possibility of some rebounds exists as it reaches extreme area.
Sentiment analysis:
Remain Negative. Bearish for the time being.
SIMSCI 09-June-2006: Second trade: Long: Trade closed
[photopress:simsci_full_day_1_2.jpg,full,pp_image]
I am twisting my mind again. After closing a lossing short position, I established a long position at 277.3.
I did not expect this as a strong run, my profit taking order was set at 278.2 which was triggered around 230pm. with strong presentation in 9-min chart, most likely I am missing out some bigger profit again. However, I did have some worries when looking at the spread of SIMSCI futures, it got a little bit wild sometimes with 3 ticks different, intraday volatility is strong. My initial profit taking target was day high 278.7 (which was hit after I closed my trade at 278.2).
Second trade of the day with +0.9 gain. I closed the day and the week with positive note.
I am facing a problem with profit target calculation. More works need to be done.

Before SG market went for lunch break, I have decided to close my SIMSCI short position with a loss at 275.7 even though planned trailing stop was at 276.2. There were signals that contributed to this exit decision. From 9-min chart of SIMSCI, a positive divergence was observed, and it was , in fact, getting stronger. I was very uncomfortable to see positive divergence when having a open short position.
Nikkei225 Futures

Another strong reason to exit short position was from Nikkei225 Futures. Again, a positive divergence was observed. That was a scary scene. It was preparing to run up. In the event that intraday upward movement started, SIMSCI futures is likely to have a gap up in the afternoon session.
I might be missing out potential profit, but, safety in the market is my objective. Fast decision made. One lost trade with -0.6 loss.
After trade analysis:
SIMSCI Futures

In fact, my short position was not supposed to be established. This can be proven when doing analysis retrospectively. Before Short position was established, from 9 min chart, a positive divergence was formed. This is a sign of strength, and no short position should be established.
RE: SIMSCI 09-June-2006: Potential short
Short order is set at 275.1 level and it was triggered. Lower highs are observed with flat HangSeng. I discounted chances of strong rebound today. Market sentiment shows a flat with negative biased. Intrady Nikkei futures shows a downtrend is being formed as well.
SIMSCI 09-June-2006: Potential Short
DJ made a come back and closed +7 point after early loss. Some analyst starts calling bottom. I am holding a different opinion. It is still to early to define bottom. Back to day trading business, I am not bullish about SIMSCI today. In fact, it opened high, and subsequently trading below day high in the first hour. Nikkei futures behaves in the similar way. and it is almost flat at the point of writing this posting.
I am interested in looking for SHORT opportunity for now.
