8/19/24: LIVE Identified Trade Opportunities and Insights

Speciale Analysis

Hey Trader,


Your Trading Journey Must Serve A Greater Purpose Then The Money


In the world of trading, we’re often focused on managing debts and investments. But there’s one debt that remains invaluable, no matter what the markets are doing:


"Let no debt remain outstanding, except the continuing debt to love one another, for whoever loves others has fulfilled the law."

  • Romans 13:8


This verse reminds us that while financial obligations are temporary, the commitment to love one another is everlasting.


Just as you manage your trades with care, remember that investing in relationships and showing kindness yields the greatest return of all.


Wishing you success in all your endeavors, both in trading and in life!


Be Relentless In Pursuit Of The Will 

Which God Has Set Upon Your Heart,

Anthony Speciale





8/19/24: Daily LIVE Futures Market Analysis Room Session Recap


This morning was all about capitalizing on key opportunities across Gold, S&P 500, Nasdaq, and Crude Oil.


Below, I’ll break down the trades we identified live, the strategies we employed, and the outcomes we achieved. Let’s dive into the details and see how the markets played out.


Gold: Quick and Profitable Downside Push


Gold offered a textbook setup this morning.


We initially saw a strong push to the downside, followed by a retracement towards the rolling Volume-Weighted Average Price (RVWAP).


Key Levels and Strategy:


  • VWAP Reaction: I advised that if Gold got caught up at the rolling VWAP, we might see a revisit of the earlier lows, possibly testing the pivot.

  • Target Zones: We specifically eyed the 1925-1927 range as a potential downside target.

  • Outcome: As anticipated, Gold quickly moved down to our target zone, providing a solid 66-tick move in just about 30 minutes.


This setup highlights the importance of patience and precision, especially when trading around key intraday levels like the VWAP.



S&P 500: Two-Timeframe Momentum for a Clear Push


The S&P 500 was another market we closely monitored this morning.


Despite a somewhat choppy start, we identified a solid opportunity based on two-timeframe momentum coming out of the opening range.


Key Levels and Strategy:


  • Opening Range Break: We saw a push into a pivot level, which, combined with strong liquidity at the 4500 level, offered a promising setup.

  • Momentum Continuation: Should the fast-moving averages hold, our target was set towards the 4516 level.

  • Outcome: As I recorded this, the S&P 500 was testing session highs, potentially setting up for further upside momentum.


This trade was a perfect example of how aligning multiple timeframes and key levels can provide high-probability opportunities, even in less than ideal market conditions.



 

My Trade Entries At The VWAP's


Crude Oil: A Quick and Profitable Dip


Crude Oil presented a classic shorting opportunity right off the morning session. Despite some initial chop, the market moved decisively after reaching a key level.


Key Levels and Strategy:


  • VWAP and Key Support Levels: We saw an aggressive bounce early on, and I advised taking a short as we approached the VWAP.

  • Target Zone: The 74.90 level was identified as a key support zone, where I expected a potential dip.

  • Outcome: The market dipped exactly as predicted, and I managed to take profits within five minutes. The move was quick and efficient, showcasing the importance of quick decision-making and trade management.

Nasdaq: A Choppy Ride with Mixed Signals


Unlike the S&P 500, the Nasdaq struggled to find clear direction. While it did attempt to participate in the morning’s moves, the action was much more erratic.


Key Observations:


  • Lack of Congruency: Typically, I prefer to see the Nasdaq and S&P 500 move in tandem, but today that wasn’t the case. The choppiness in the Nasdaq made it difficult to commit fully to any position.

  • Takeaway: On days like this, it’s crucial to recognize when a market isn’t offering clean setups. Sometimes, the best trade is no trade.


Key Takeaways from Today’s Session


Today’s trading provided some valuable lessons:


  • Gold and Crude Oil: Reacted perfectly to our identified levels, reinforcing the importance of planning and discipline.

  • S&P 500: Showed how aligning timeframes can help identify high-probability setups.

  • Nasdaq: Reminded us that not every market will offer a clear path, and it’s okay to step aside when conditions aren’t right.


Despite the quiet summer Monday and lack of significant economic data, we managed to find and capitalize on clear opportunities.


Stay informed, stay focused and stay disciplined ! ! !

God bless, and have a wonderful day!

U.S. Government Required Disclaimer Stock, Futures, Forex & Options trading has large potential rewards, but also large potential risk and it is not appropriate for everyone.

CFTC RULE 4.41 Hypothetical or simulated performance results have many inherent limitations, some of which are described below. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those shown. In fact, there are frequently sharp differences between hypothetical performance results and the actual results subsequently achieved by any particular trading program. One of the limitations of hypothetical performance results is that they are generally prepared with the benefit of hindsight. In addition, hypothetical trading does not involve financial risk, and no hypothetical trading record can completely account for the impact of financial risk in actual trading. For example, the ability to withstand losses or to adhere to a particular trading program in spite of trading losses are material points which can also adversely affect actual trading results. There are numerous other factors related to the markets in general or to the implementation of any specific trading program which cannot be fully accounted for in the preparation of hypothetical performance results and all of which can adversely affect actual trading results.

IMPORTANT NOTICE! No representation is being made that the use of this strategy or any system or trading methodology will generate profits. Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results. There is substantial risk of loss associated with trading securities and options on equities. Only risk capital should be used to trade. Trading securities is not suitable for everyone.

Cryptocurrency Trading Cryptocurrencies on margin carries a high level of risk, and may not be suitable for everyone. Past performance is not indicative of future results. The high degree of leverage can work against you as well as for you. Before getting involved in Cryptocurrency trading you should carefully consider your personal venture objectives, level of experience, and risk appetite. The possibility exists that you could sustain a loss of some or all of your initial deposit and therefore you should not place funds that you cannot afford to lose.

Hypothetical Results Hypothetical or simulated performance results have certain inherent limitations - unless noted otherwise that an image or any material discloses live money was used, results displayed or openly discussed are to be assumed simulated for educational purposes only. No live money brokerage accounts will be traded or displayed by request or otherwise.  Unlike an actual performance record, simulated results do not represent actual trading. Also, since the trades have not actually been executed, the results may have under- or over-compensated for the impact, if any, of certain market factors, such as lack of liquidity. Simulated trading programs, in general, are also subject to the fact that they are designed with the benefit of hindsight. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those shown.

ONE OF THE LIMITATIONS OF HYPOTHETICAL PERFORMANCE RESULTS IS THAT THEY ARE GENERALLY PREPARED WITH THE BENEFIT OF HINDSIGHT. IN ADDITION, HYPOTHETICAL TRADING DOES NOT INVOLVE FINANCIAL RISK, AND NO HYPOTHETICAL TRADING RECORD CAN COMPLETELY ACCOUNT FOR THE IMPACT OF FINANCIAL RISK IN ACTUAL TRADING. FOR EXAMPLE, THE ABILITY TO WITHSTAND LOSSES OR TO ADHERE TO A PARTICULAR TRADING PROGRAM IN SPITE OF TRADING LOSSES ARE MATERIAL POINTS WHICH CAN ALSO ADVERSELY AFFECT ACTUAL TRADING RESULTS. THERE ARE NUMEROUS OTHER FACTORS RELATED TO MARKETS IN GENERAL OR TO THE IMPLEMENTATION OF ANY SPECIFIC TRADING PROGRAM WHICH CANNOT BE FULLY ACCOUNTED FOR IN THE PREPARATION OF HYPOTHETICAL PERFORMANCE RESULTS AND ALL OF WHICH CAN ADVERSELY AFFECT ACTUAL TRADING RESULTS.
