Episode notes
Wait For Confirmation
- Wait for confirmation before reacting to single-day moves because of whipsaws and headline noise.
- Use smoothing (like a 20-day moving average) to avoid reacting to short-lived volatility.
20-Day As A Noise Filter
- The 20-day moving average can filter noise better than MACD in a choppy uptrend.
- Weekly DeMarc and stochastics suggested a multi-week corrective phase despite summer breakout.
Use Support Levels To Gauge Risk
- Use the 50-day moving average as a first-line support gauge and the breakout point (~6130) as deeper support on the S&P.
- Watch indicators for better entry timing rather than adding solely at support levels.
