PrimeTrading Market Model #PTMM + Takeaways
PTMM is on a GREEN market signal (🟩)
Key Takeaways:
GDB closed at +339, it what looked like a strong low-volume pre-holiday trading session
MCSI + PTHL still in strong uptrend above ma
NNH coming back up after a quick PB
Price just below ATH
The power trend continues, with another good day as we closed the week strong.
There is no red flag here, but I would still like to see a new price high to confirm the breakout and continuation higher.
This holiday week will likely be on pretty low volume like usual. Don’t expect super strong days, but if we could continue to trend like the last few days, it would be a great way to end the year!
With the trend well in place and PTMM on a GREEN signal, I focus almost exclusively on my PF positions and the setups of my FL. I control my risk at the PF level, and by using progressive exposure and raising my stop losses to increase my TOR (Total Open Risk) / reduce TOH (Total Open Heat), I’m able to capture opportunities in this type of lockout trend without being at risk of a massive drawdown.
One position at a time, taking trims to finance each position’s risk…and raise our SLs to capture the trend.
Our Stop Losses are there for when the music stops.
System Action/Rules:
LONG exposure allowed
FULL positions (20%)
Trimming 1/3 at 2R & 5R
Keeping 1/3 as a runner position
PF exposure max = 100% or margin
New open risk (NOR) > - 1%
