Bracket Screen

Bracket screen

The Bracket screen gives in one page a quick study of balanced markets along with potential break-out prices. Covers long-term, short-term and intermediate time periods.

The Bracket screen is a table of contracts that are bracketing with a bracket range greater than a chosen $ range value.

Brackets for the last 5, 10, 15, 20 days of trading are considered. They are determined from Overlays for the last 5, 10, 15, 20 days of trading

Screen Table is normally calculated in increments of 5, 10, 15 and 20 days. Balances on interior days (2, 3, 4), (6, 7, 8, 9), (11, 12, 13, 14) and (16, 17, 18, 19) are posted in the Screen for 6 days and above. Shorter balances (2, 3, 4) must be estimated by eye.

The Upper and Lower prices for the bracket give breakout price levels.

The Close prices locate the previous trading days close relative to the bracket upper and lower limits.

The midway point between the Upper and Lower prices gives the value for the bracket.

The upper and lower octant prices can be the entry points for responsive trades and can be stops for break-out trades. Then these prices give the $ risk for trades.

The direction ("D") is "S" if close is in the lower half of bracket. The direction ("D") is "L" if close is in the upper half of bracket.
