YM Emini Trading 09-28-09

By , 28 September, 2009, No Comment

The market stayed well above the 89 period SMA today, so I restricted myself to long trades. There was one beautiful trade that started around R1 and blasted through R2, and that was really it for the day. I took a couple of long trades hoping the market might break out some, but nothing really materialized, and I exited the trade with small gains.

Ever Lost on Your First Two Trades?

By , 28 September, 2009, No Comment

A very common mistake traders make is to try to get back in the money in one fell swoop. Often times a trader will take a trader of lower probability to accomplish this just to quit looking at the red numbers on his DOM.

ES Emini Contract Trading for Wednesday

By , 16 September, 2009, No Comment

The Decision Bar software kept me long through some early morning pullbacks, and I was happy to oblige. I considered adding to my positions on some pullbacks, but decided against it. Only had one other notable trade for a 12 tick gain. Interesting day to trade.

Notice how the market never really decided to advance, in a decisive manner, past R2

There was a good bit of news driving the market today, and, at times, the traders had a hard to trying to make out just what the news meant.

Ben Bernanke Speaks
10:00 AM ET

Should be a day loaded with all sorts of potential surprises, culminating with Bernanke speaking at 10 a.m.   I would be mindful, early on, of the potential volatility in the market as it digests a wide range of economic data.  Of course, the question on everyone’s mind is a simple one, where are we in this recession?
In the early going, the consumer spending numbers have been pretty positive.

ES Emini: An Enjoyable Day Trading Futures

By , 10 September, 2009, 1 Comment

Today was one of those days that was very enjoyable to trade. The price action stayed above the 89 period SMA so I did not take a short trade all day, and even passed on what appeared to be a pretty good one later in the afternoon. I really just wanted to concentrate on staying in the trend, which turned out to be a pretty good str
