I am trying to supplement my trend following trading some predictable TA.

I was told $RUT:$VXN 60 minutes charts are good for this purpose. As it stands today - looks like there is some positive divergence on this chart. Will you say this is bullish:

I use the SPX:VIX on the 60 minute and 5 minute.
There was a turn up at the close today.
However look at the direction of the BB's 20ma on the hourly.
It's down.
On the VIX itself, I'd want to see the Green MA turn back down before getting bullish.http://stockcharts.com/c-sc/sc?s=$VIX&p=5&yr=0&mn=0&dy=20&i=p26349012139&a=144240450&r=7076.png

No positive divergence here - yet. Maybe on lower prices Monday...

One may paper trade before account depletes!




One may put $rut behind and see the chart

$one:$vxn VS $rut Behind...........brings both in same direction on chart

For early buy/sell signals use same chart in lower time frames(60,30,15min)

at option expiration if stock closes 62+......stock gain+$2.00-1.80=1.20

Thanks for the new ideas. I will check them out.

I paper traded for 6 months before putting any real money into my trading plan. May be I was not clear but I am still profitable overall; just gave a lot back this last signal. If I had exited on Wed I would have made 10%+ in a week's swing trading.

I am still learning options but in the mean time just buying some protective puts.
