Look at the Floating P/L on this strategy!
This is a zero-lag oscillator based on a 'smoothed' Bollinger PercentB and 'smoothed' Slow Stochastic using a rainbow data series.
DMI Stochastic Extreme Signal
The DMI (Directional Movement Index) did a fantastic job, capturing the entire move down.
If you were hesitant to jump on board initially, the Stochastic Extreme gave 5 opportunities to get back into the trade. When the Oscillator is in a downtrend (red) and the stochastic comes up to the top (100 level) & prints a red arrow, you cannot get a better invitation. It is telling you that there is prior resistance there and supply is going to overwhelm the buyers.
The only time you disregard that signal is when the DMI Oscillator and Stochastic Extreme are of conflicting signals. If the Oscillator is green you cannot be that aggressive, and vice versa.
This is an 8 Tick Rangebar chart.
FOO-BAR & StopLight Signal
All the credit here to Mobius and Lar from the thinkScript Lounge.
The FOO-BAR showed a squeeze building just prior to the move (yellow dots between blue) indicating a coiling of volatility (the Bollinger Bands went inside of the Keltner Channels)
Once the squeeze fired, the StopLight indicator showed: Trend All Down.
PFE
MOMENTUM
CCI
RSI
MOBO
CI (Choppiness Index)
ADX
Notice the Cyan dots on the FOO-BAR after the move down, just prior to the StopLight turning green...
These indicated an oversold RSI, and the White arrows indicated oversold stochastic.
Two indicators working beautifully in tandem! Also, the MESA Sine Wave showed an ideal reversal level on the string of red dots above the down move. Price came up to it, to the tick, before proceeding lower.
This is an 8 Tick Rangebar Chart
Double Stochastics/Ergodic Signal
This may have been the clearest signal of all...
A 25 Handle Move...on 1 /ES contract valued at $50/per. That is big money!
The Ergodic Oscillator breached the zero line.
Price breached the Double Moving Average (60 SMA & 110 EMA)
Double Stochastic BB's (White & Red Dots Painted on Line) indicating extremely negative sentiment.
This is an 8 Tick Rangebar Chart.
Woodies' CCI Signal
A picture perfect 'Slingshot'
The 14 period Turbo CCI (TCCI) climbed all the way up over the 150 level, while
the 6 period CCI was rejected at the zero line.
...Then the CCI trendline was broken
...Add that to the fact that price had breached the 34 period EMA (Cyan Exponential Moving Average) and Woodies' LSMA (Least Square's Moving Average [Linear Regression]) was forming an apex with the 34 EMA from underneath...
And you have Pretty easy money.
This is an 8 Tick Rangebar chart.

U.S. failed to see much growth as the Producer Price Index came out dead flat
and was even negative when food and energy are removed. The numbers show that
the economy is falling short of Fed target rate of 2% annual inflation which
could spike more taper talk. Crude oil has been range bound and gold has seen a
slight recovery but both could see significant moves once the Fed's true stance
on we tapering is revealed.
The EUR/USD dropped further against the dollar even on a day when it should have rallied. The flash GDP came in at .3% growth which officially ends Europe's longest recession in decades. The problem Europe still faces is high unemployment which, like we have seen in the U.S., can lead to an agonizingly slow recovery. (see EUR/USD below)
The USD/CHF continued to rally, enhancing our gains despite the fact that the Swiss ZEW report showed increased confidence in the Swiss business outlook for the next six months by institutional investors. Though the rally doesn't allow us to tighten our stop loss we can't complain about the gains. (see USD/CHF below)
The USD/CAD bounced around before closing slightly lower. We are watching for a bounce off the trend line or a rally to past resistance and currently there is more bearish pressure so we are watching for a support bounce however it needs to occur soon because the bearishness momentum is beginning to wane. (see USD/CAD below)

Market LookBeck
(Reuters) - The euro traded little changed against the dollar on Wednesday
despite data showing the euro zone had emerged in the second quarter from its
longest recession since its inception.
The euro initially jumped on the news but elevated U.S. Treasury yields and growing expectations the Federal Reserve will begin to scale back stimulus as early as next month continued to bolster the dollar, and the euro's gains faded.
As the New York session began, the dollar's strength against the euro was blunted by a report that showed U.S. producer prices were flat in July, pointing to very little inflationary pressure, which could add to worries at the Fed that inflation is running too low. The dollar fell against the yen.
"The recent weakness in the euro is not so much a function of any fundamental problem in the region but rather a reaction to the strengthening dollar as the market continues to price in the prospect of a taper (of Fed bond buying) in September," said Boris Schlossberg, managing director of foreign exchange at BK Asset Management in New York.
The euro was last little changed at $1.3257, off an earlier high of $1.3278. Traders cited stop-loss sell orders below $1.3230 and a break there could see it slip to $1.3155/85.
With stronger-than-expected growth in the currency bloc's largest economies, Germany and France, hauling the euro zone out of six consecutive quarters of contraction, analysts said a fragile recovery was probably taking hold.
The euro zone economy grew 0.3 percent, beating the 0.2 percent forecast of economists in a Reuters poll, but this failed to push the euro much higher than its level after the numbers from the two big economies were released.
"Today's improvements in second quarter, 2013 GDP across the board - French, German, and broader euro-zone figures all beat expectations - failed to produce a positive reaction in the euro despite the implications of a rebounding Europe," said Christopher Vecchio, currency analyst at DailyFX in New York. "Certainly, failure by the euro to appreciate on strong data may be a warning sign that further weakness is due."
With recovery in the euro zone still fragile and some of its peripheral economies still struggling, the European Central Bank is expected to keep rates at record lows for an extended period.
By contrast, expectations that the Fed will "taper" its monthly $85 billion in bond buying from September were gaining momentum.
Atlanta Fed President Dennis Lockhart said on Tuesday he could not rule out the Fed reducing stimulus from next month but added that U.S. economic performance was too mixed for the U.S. central bank to lay out a detailed plan.
The dollar was down and off Tuesday's one-week high against a basket of currencies, a high that was hit after upbeat U.S. retail sales data sent Treasury yields sharply higher. Ten-year Treasury yields last stood at 2.71 percent on Wednesday, just shy of July's 23-month high.
The dollar index edged down 0.07 percent to 81.712, having climbed more than 1 percent from its Aug. 8 trough.
Traders reported steady corporate demand for dollars and said further gains would hinge on upcoming U.S. data. Attention now shifts to Thursday's release of U.S. industrial production and consumer inflation reports.
Sterling rose 0.4 percent against the greenback to $1.5507, however, as market participants brought forward expectations of a Bank of England interest rate hike on improving UK data and a surprise division among policymakers over the bank's rate guidance. The pound is the best performing of the 36 most actively traded currencies against the dollar month-to-date with a 2.1 percent gain.
The dollar was down 0.1 percent at 98.10 yen and traders said a move above 98.50 looked difficult in the near term.

Twenty two of twenty five ShaddowTrader Sectors closed lower on Wednesday. The three sectors that ended higher were $DJUSSW, $DJUSCL, and GOX. Another broad based close lower by the broad market has a good chance of bringing in into oversold territory. BTK has closed lower seven consecutive days. Behind this, both UTY and XNG have closed lower four consecutive days.

SPY swing trade parameters
Good morning traders. Approximately 70% of individual stocks trade in the
same direction as the broad market which is good enough reason to discuss it
here. However, today's analysis of the S&P 500 Index (SPY) could also
be viewed as its own swing trade setup. Please observe the chart below.
The bears have had two solid opportunities to push the market lower since mid-July, but failed to do so. Most recently, no "real" sellers showed up either Monday or Tuesday of this week when prices were at daily lows. As a result, anyone who did position short on either day ended up trapped (last two green price bars). This is the market clearly saying it wants higher. The parameters for a long broad market swing trade entry via SPY are noted on the chart above.

Dollars & Cents
Equities dropped again to test the near-term support level seen over the past
2 weeks but were able to rally and close up slightly by the end of the day. The
dollar continues to gain as bonds are being sold off again. The dollar
strengthening could also be an indication of money leaving other countries and
moving to the U.S. as a safe harbor.
The EUR/USD continues to move lower. As we commented yesterday, we expect a test of 1.31 and then potentially a move to 1.28 for a longer term horizontal support test. (see EUR/USD below)
The USD/CHF continues to move in our favor. We are watching for a small pull back to reset our stops and to watch for an opportunity to take profits on one of the contracts. We will continue to monitor this position. (see USD/CHF below)
The USD/CAD bounced today, creating a higher low. Combined with the lower high from last week, we are seeing continued consolidation. We are still going to watch for a buy limit potentially near 1.02 and a sell limit near 1.0450 or 1.610. (see USD/CAD below)

(Reuters) - U.S. Treasuries yields approached two-year highs and the dollar
rallied broadly on Tuesday after a gauge of U.S. consumer spending rose at its
fastest pace in seven months.
World equities markets edged higher. U.S. stocks rebounded after a Fed official said the economic picture is too mixed for the U.S. central bank to detail its exit strategy from massive stimulus. European shares hit 2-1/2-month highs after data pointed to an improving economic outlook across the euro region.
The benchmark 10-year U.S. Treasury note was down 29/32, its yield at 2.7244 percent. The rise in bond yields hurt dividend stocks like utilities, while homebuilding shares also underperformed because higher rates make mortgages less affordable.
Atlanta Fed President Dennis Lockhart said recent data does not present a clear picture of the economy, even as he did not rule out some kind of decrease next month in the current $85 billion monthly pace of bond buys.
U.S. retail sales outside of cars, gasoline and building materials rose 0.5 percent last month, the biggest gain since December. Overall retail sales rose 0.2 percent during the month, just below analysts' expectations.
Strong U.S. data will encourage the Federal Reserve to trim its purchases of bonds, perhaps as early as September. Such a move will boost U.S. bond yields and bolster the appeal of dollar-denominated assets.
"For the next five and a half weeks every U.S. statistic will be measured by its impact on the September 18th (Federal Open Market Committee) decision," said Joseph Trevisani, chief market strategist at WorldWideMarkets, in Woodcliff Lake, New Jersey. "By that standard today's number should keep the Fed on track to curtail quantitative easing purchases in September."
MSCI's all-country world index, a measure of 45 equity markets around the world, rose 0.3 percent.
The Dow Jones industrial average gained 35.17 points, or 0.23 percent, at 15,454.85. The Standard & Poor's 500 Index was up 4.32 points, or 0.26 percent, at 1,693.79. The Nasdaq Composite Index was up 15.22 points, or 0.41 percent, at 3,685.17.
The FTSEurofirst 300 rose 0.6 percent to 1,236.99, within sight of its 2013 peak at 1,258.09. The euro zone's blue-chip Euro STOXX 50 ended up 0.5 percent at 2,841.61 points.
A jump in Germany's ZEW economic sentiment survey dovetailed with a rise in euro zone industrial output and the fastest rise in UK house prices in seven years, bolstering a renewed sense of optimism in the region.
"It is not only Germany that is moving in the right direction," said Deutsche Bank economist Mark Wall. "There is a general improvement taking place in Europe and in the context of this being a debt crisis one shouldn't underestimate the importance of getting back to a position of growth... The $64,000 question is whether this is sustainable."
The dollar index, which measures the greenback versus a basket of six currencies, gained 0.6 percent to 81.787.
The euro fell 0.3 percent to $1.3257, while the dollar rallied 1.4 percent to 98.26 yen.
In Asia, Japanese shares jumped 2.6 percent and the yen fell after a media report that Prime Minister Shinzo Abe is considering a cut in corporate taxes to counter the pain of a planned sales tax increase.
Brent crude oil rose toward $110 per barrel after oil exports from Libya fell to their lowest in two years, heightening supply worries ahead of scheduled cuts in output from fellow OPEC member Iraq.
Brent crude oil futures for September rose 60 cents to $109.57 per barrel, while U.S. light crude oil gained 48 cents at $106.59.
Spot gold fell to $1,322 an ounce, retreating from a three-week high as the dollar strengthened. A new hike in Indian import taxes also undermined sentiment.

There will be more CSTA's added to the site in the near future-- for a complete list of available studies, strategies, scans, & watchlists, Please contact us through the same page where you find the thinkScript.
The ThinkorSwim Desktop application includes Woodies CCI & Woodies Pivots, as available studies, without charge. Through their proprietary programming language thinkScript, they even let the users call up the study to modify it to their heart's content; as such, with the help of some genuinely kind-hearted souls, were it not for whom so very graciously donated their time and effort, in the thinkScript Lounge, we were able to make this one of the most powerful studies on the platform. The AddLabel script allowed us to denote the distance in pips (or ticks) from the underlying's current price to a prior candle's High & Low; Entire Chart Range's High & Low; Woodies Pivot, R1, & S1. So at any time, I know exactly how many ticks price has to travel to reach the Pivot (or whatever level I am interested in).
Also available are WoodiesLSMA (Least Squares Moving Average) with Gradient Colors at crossover;
WoodiesCCI with customized colors for CCI & TCCI;
WoodiesPivots with ShowOnlyCurrentPeriod defaulted to ON;
Multiple versions of WoodiesHL Ticks & WoodiesPivots Ticks allowing for placement on upper or lower subgraph pre-configured;
The final mod was also using the AddLabel script. This time we called up the 34 period EMA (Exponential Moving Average), and asked the study to tell us the degree of slope on the moving average between the prior candle and the current one. So after a parabolic rise in price, the indicator may read 74* degrees as it begins to flatten out from a steep angle. This is absolutely, without question, and by far my favorite study, now. It offers such a wealth of information, that with it applied to my preferred chart layout of 2x8 (two rows of 8 charts), I have to open another instance of ThinkorSwim desktop to place my trades without data bottlenecks/slowdown.
Legend:
Upper Graph
Magenta = Woodies Pivot Point, White = Distance in Ticks
Red = Woodies R1; White = Distance in Ticks
Green = Woodies S1; White = Distance in Ticks
Cyan = 34 Period EMA (exponential moving average) Slope* In Degrees
Lower SubGraph
Red H = 1 Candle Prior High; White = Distance in Ticks
Green L = 1 Candle Prior Low; White = Distance in Ticks
Red HH = Entire Chart Aggregation High; White = Distance in Ticks
Green LL = Entire Chart Aggregation Low; White = Distance in Ticks
