Long Trade Setup: At least 2 pups or mini pups on the daily, 60-, 13-, or 8-minute charts and a 5-minute uptrend, entry upon the 1-minute mini pup trigger off 5- and 3-minute 5-period moving average support.

With an uptrend in place on the 60-, 13-, and 8-minute charts, note the overlapping support areas (the 5-period moving averages on whichever time frames have mini pups). The 5- and 3-minute charts may or may not be trending. The foreshadowing element kicks in here in the absence of 3- and 5-minute trends. If the 5-minute is trending, then prepare for entry upon pullback to the 5-period moving average support tests followed by the 1-minute cross back up, or even better, a 1-minute mini pup.

Primary Targets: For scalpers, the 1-minute upper Bollinger bands will be the primary and initial target, and then the respective upper bands on each time frame with a mini pup to scale out. As always, pivots, 50- and 200-period moving averages, sticky 2.50, 5, 0.30, and 0.75 levels should always be considered profit taking areas. The key is to lock in profits or scale out most on 1-minute high band mini pups above the 80 bands into the climax pops.

Stop Loss Trigger: The 5-period moving average support violation on 5-, 8-, or 13-minute moving averages. A shooting star candle is the first sign to locking out profit. The key is to scale out most into the initial pops at 1-minute high band thrusts to get a nice profit cushion to determine how much wiggle to absorb. If you scale out 3/4 of the scalp size, then you can revert to the 13-minute, 5-period moving averages for the final profit/loss stop.

Variations: Always be aware when the noodles and futures set up a perfect storm breakout! The force of this breakout will resonate throughout the rest of the market, starting with the leader stocks and working its way down to lift the markets. When noodles form a perfect storm breakout, it's imperative to find stocks to play on the long side. Consider playing the QID short, or SPY long. Noodles perfect storms tend to stimulate perfect storms in the rest of the leader stocks.

Sometimes the 3- and 5-minute charts will be in a consolidation while the 8-, 13-, or 60-minute charts are in pups or mini pups. In these situations, the foreshadowing element will play out. Use the 1-minute mini pups for entry as the third mini pup.

Notes: Make absolutely sure that the moving averages are uptrending with a trend channel on at least 2 wider time frames. It's easy to see stochastics form mini pups while the moving averages may be flat. This will usually result in a small pop and headfake right back down. The kryptonite for perfect storms is lack of volume, which is often indicated by flat moving averages. The uptrend must be established first! These are also the rare occasions when you can enter the trade on a 1-minute high band – provided there is a mini pup – as long as you take your profits into the spike before a star forms and stochastics slip the 80 bands.
