In the Discord room, there is a Thread titled “First Red Day Set-up,” where we have tried to hash out exactly what this means and how to play it. One thing everyone agrees on is that “First Red Day” is a dumb name.
The basic idea is that after a multi-day run (minimum three consecutive up days, minimum move of XXX%, generally rising volume), one should anticipate a reversal day and significant down move. This is a new set-up to me and I’ve been trying to learn how to execute it. We can all learn something new together, I like to think.
The “trigger” for the trade is that today’s open must be below the previous day’s close. If today’s open is below the previous close, then one can simply short the opening print. Mall Cop suggests shorting the break of the first one minute or five minute low, but it doesn’t really matter.
The stop is the tricky part. I believe Du Xiuxian suggests placing a stop above the “value area,” or “volume block” of the previous day. One could also use the previous day’s high as one’s stop, but I hate using “obvious” spots like that. One could also use some arbitrary fixed percentage above one’s entry. Always remember the old joke that the answer to the question of where to put your stop is: How much money do you want to lose?
Expect price to return to the 10-day simple moving average in short order (yes, a pun). It could take one to three days, or even longer, to get there. Be patient. That 10-day SMA target is courtesy of Mall Cop.
I will be watching THTX on Monday since it has “set up” and I will take the trade if it happens (gaps down at the open). Since I’m unfamiliar with these plays, I will take a $10,000 or $20,000 position as a trial and use a very wide stop. I will post the results in the Discord room and may publish a follow-up post here, assuming the trade is profitable. If it is unprofitable, I will never mention it again. Just kidding. Losing money on it will also be instructive.

THTX did not gap down on the open so there was no play today. Volume dropped off considerably so I’m not sure if a gap down open tomorrow would qualify it, but I’ll certainly will keep an eye on it and report the executions I make in it, if any.
87 minute running time … Clark Gable as ship’s captain, Jean Harlow as his lover… I liked the footage of Hong Kong … wasn’t aware of the Malay Boot or Chinese Boot torture device… it wasn’t terrible, all the stereotypes were great. I sort of enjoyed it, but don’t think I’d recommend it.
Watch it, Toots
83 minute running time … Sacha Baron Cohen … made 11 years after 9/11 … it’s funny but puerile humor for the most part …
106 minute running time… bouncy camera and quick zoom in and out to give it that faux documentary feel that I hate… about a terrorist bombing in Northern Ireland in 1998 that killed 29 people … couldn’t watch it because of the bouncy cam and because I have children. One of the fathers of the victims turns out to be the world’s most articulate grease monkey, an amazing organizer and seeker of justice. Police incompetence, political corruption, the little people getting a raw deal, all the usual things. This was a John Farr reco, and of course Farr has no children.
Bruno Pernadas with Problem Number 6 … do not inhale before listening…
91 minute running time … hopheads and interracial couples and jazz, man! It’s cool! No, it wasn’t so cool, it wasn’t terrible terrible, but I’d never recommend it. Dave Brubeck makes an appearance as does Charlie Mingus (who mysteriously disappears). Patrick “I am not a number! I am a free man!” McGoohan sowing relationship chaos for his own nefarious ends. Not sure how this got into my queue, Farr maybe? Nope, not Farr.
Me?! Oh, I belong to that new minority group...white American jazz musicians. They're gonna hold a mass-meeting in a phone booth.
In Spanish. 134 minute running time so at least 30 to 40 minutes too long. This movie was promising, the story idea was OK, but it was just way way too long … I could drop it into Adobe Premiere Pro and take my cutting knife to work and make this into a really good movie. It’s amazing that film makers don’t understand how important it is to make a LEAN movie. Cut and keep cutting.
Love this Canadian girl’s voice and the song … Le Ren sings Dyan:
