The Razor’s Edge: Where Traders Actually Make Money
Sami Abusaad | Black Room LessonsTrading is about having the knowledge to know when the odds are in your favor (i.e., your edge) and then the discipline to handle the trade properly if it goes in your favor and properly if it goes against you. But, what do you do if your edge is not present? The answer is not as simple as “sit on your hands.” Learn more in this classic lesson (from when the Strategic Day Trader Room was called the Black Room)

We’re ahead of the biggest political event since the 2018 Presidential election. It seems like a Democrat House and Republican Senate would be equities friendly. And as long as we hold the SPX 2700 area, I’ll be positioned for it to clear 2756 for a move back towards 2816-2840. But if that rally happens, don’t rush to buy into bull hype too quickly. Seasonality and buybacks may be on the bulls’ side, but there’s a bigger pattern to worry about. (more on this below) If the Democrats take the House and Senate, volatility probably spikes. A close of below 2700 would probably mean a retest of 2603. As you can see on the micro chart below, an inverse head & shoulders may be setting up. The election results may dictate if the pattern resolves up, or if the right shoulder gets broken for that 2603 retest.Now let’s look at a more intermediate-term chart. If 2603 gets lost, traders will start worrying about a trip to 2560 – 2580, and a rougher road to end 2018 and start 2019. Now let’s take a look at the big macro chart. This is why I said we can’t too easily buy into a giant year-end rally. A rally from here could complete the right shoulder into 2800-2840, making 2600ish the neckline. If this pattern triggers to the downside and the neckline breaks, the measured move points to 2300 — which could be a 2019 storyPositions Disclosure: As of November 6, 2018 at 10:33 a.m. ET, Scott J. Redler is long FB, AAPL, SPY, IWM

Sami Abusaad | Black Room LessonsMost people believe stock market prices move randomly, and thus, cannot be predicted. The Random Walk Theory written in 1964 aided that belief.It is true that predicting stock prices is not always possible.But experienced traders know when prices are random (and to be avoided) and when they’re highly predicable (and to be capitalized on).Learn the high probability, repeating, non-random patterns that generated $7,727 today.
