Stock For Breakfast 10-9-23
The Market 
The brutal war unfolding in Israel and the official declaration of war against Hamas the precedence on the charts over technical setups. Our prayers go out to the innocent women and children.
The stock market put on quite a performance on Friday but we spent quite a bit of time on our Saturday game planning meeting showing why it was a short covering rally and not technically a bullish event.Â
Many inexperienced traders miss this distinction because they aren’t trained yet to notice the difference between a bullish rally and short sellers exiting their positions.
The reason short covering unfolds quickly is because the bears panic at the first sign of support holding, and they scramble by buying back stock causing that fast rally.Â
We set up this possibility multiple times in our game plan last week simply by knowing the average true move of the S&P 500 which pretty much stopped exactly where the data said it would.Â
This isn’t predicting it’s being prepared and knowing your numbers.
This applies to both the market but especially any new stock you’re thinking about buying, because it’s critical to know the average true move so that you always start new trades at the optimal entry.Â
