Good evening traders, this is Brian with TraderShark.com, an educational website to learn how to trade the emini S&P and the Euro futures.

I’m going to show you the Euro futures screens that we use here in the Shark Den and give you a rough idea. The European market opens up about 3:00 Eastern Standard Time. And with that being said the opening price here was at $1.3413 represented by the white dotted line. Price action was well-below the dotted line at a range level. The range level we watch right here between 7:30, maybe 8:30 running sideways.

Nice little break out from the range level, first target was hit forced out myself here at a break even. So it was plus 3, minus 3, I was flat. Continuing on into the morning, just before 9:30 I had another opportunity to get into a trade. But once we get within 3 minutes of the opening price of the U.S. market that’s like a news report. And I flatten myself out in this position also for minus 2 ticks.

Continuing on into the day we had relatively flat sideways motion, and I want you to look down below, you see these bright yellow lines here on our directional indicator, bright yellow dots, are indicating to stay out. Flat, sideways motion. The trade of the day, as our directional indicator broke out, we had our first shot of a red dot. Came in. Again this occurred right about 11:00, so I want you to notice the auto waves fired off short here. I did not get in.

Shortly thereafter I had a nice opportunity with our momentum and our direction. Momentum indicator fired off short. First target got hit, second target got hit. We watched the depth of market. As we got down here we exited. The entry here was at $1.3376 we exited $1.3356 for a profit of 23 ticks. And that was pretty much it for the day. We stop trading the Euro at 11:30 Eastern Standard Time in the morning.

Good evening traders, this is Brian with TraderShark.com, an educational website to learn how to trade the emini S&P futures. Today is Tuesday, August 20th, 2013.

The market opened up this morning at 1645.25 represented by this white dotted line. We seldom take trades in this no trade zone from 9:30 to 9:45, but in this particular case, I actually took a pre-market trade. Told everybody we were going to take it. We had a nice cross to the downside, towards our gap fill for target 1 and target 2, a total of 11 ticks.

Coming out of the no trade zone we had a lot of sideways motion we really didn’t have any news pushing the market. We had the news about the Egyptian crisis. You know, some minor resolve going on over there. In the meantime there were really no trades taking off this morning. Reversal zone at 10:00, there really was no trend for us to see that.

By 10:30 there was a reversal zone. And I want you to notice, we had a nice clean significant level here. Did not clear this significant level auto waves fired off. We were setting up for what’s called a Shark Attack trade. Target 1 was set at 1651.50, the second target was 1653.50, so remember those numbers. Had two different trading platforms going off on this plus 10 on one of the platforms, plus 12 on the second platform. I got out a little bit early because I want you to see what happened here just before the no trade zone. We had a lot of sideways motion, sideways chop. Third opportunity to get into the trade. Got the first target off, the market internal indicator had indicated to get out.

Continuing on into the no trade zone, I want you to notice how price action worked its way up to the second profit target on a Shark Attack trade, 1653.50, I did not take advantage of that, but we did talk about it in the room. From 11:30 to 1:15 Eastern Standard Time is called a no trade zone.

Coming out of the no trade zone we had our market internal, our directional indicator telling us a lot of sideways motion and flat into the afternoon. That’s pretty much, there were no further trades. There was a nice moving average across here to the downside, but I was not able to get into it.

I also want to remind you we have free days in the Shark Den on Thursday and Friday of this week. I wanted to show you how to sign into it. Go to the TraderShark.com homepage. Go over here to the Home and right there it says Webinar Specials. We just had a webinar with the Festival of Traders on Monday. The webinar specials are available for everybody.

Good evening traders, this is Brian with TraderShark.com, an educational website to learn how to trade the emini S&P futures. Today is Friday, August 9th, 2013.

The market opened up this morning here at 1691 represented by this white dotted line. We generally don’t trade from 9:30 to 9:45, except in a case of what’s called a pro-range reversal. I got in short here as a pro-range reversal and I got stopped out with 2 contracts at minus 5 ticks. And then just as I exited the 5 ticks we started to get a reversal. The pullback I thought was long enough for a push up into the next news report. And I got stopped out with 2 contracts at minus 4 ticks each. So I took 2 stops starting out on a Friday morning.

Market continued to work its way sideways. We had news come out at 10:00. It was outside of consensus range to the bearish side, to the downside. Market sold off, worked our way back towards the opening price. Lot of traders try to fade opening price. I think it’s very dangerous, very choppy to try to trade within one point of either side of opening price. So there was no further trades at this point.

Worked our way through. Kind of a slow grind. Volume was coming back in, but still, sideways motion, messing with our moving average. Couple of opportunities here to go short. I think I was probably, at that time I was probably trading either the Euro and watching it, so I missed these trades in the Shark Den. I don’t know if anybody else was able to pick those up or not. But then we did have a nice little pullback here for an opportunity to get short. In this particular case I popped on 3 contracts, one for 4 ticks, one for 9, another for 9.

Going into the next no trade zone from 11:30 to 1:15 Eastern Standard Time. This was a period of lower volume, and higher volatility I tend not to trade. And we had a push right back up to the opening price. Coming out of the no trade zone we had an opportunity to get long. Again, it was trading up into the open. Very dangerous. Very risky. I went for real short targets, 2 ticks and 4 ticks back up into the open and then I went flat.

For the rest of the day, pretty much we saw a little bit of a selloff here at 2:00 with a 5 point pullback. I was expecting us to have a run up into the highs of the day into the close. We need to see a pullback after this 2:00 timeframe in order for us to potentially push higher into the close. Other indicators were all running into what’s called a tangled net, so there’s no further traders for the rest of the day.

Hope everybody has an awesome weekend. Thank you for watching. To learn more about these and more advanced trade setups, please visit TraderShark.com. Thank you, have a great weekend and I’ll talk to you on Monday morning.

Good evening traders, this is Brian with TraderShark.com, an educational website to learn how to trade the emini S&P futures. Today is Thursday, August 8th.

The market opened up this morning here at 1695.25 represented by this white dotted line. We generally don’t trade from 9:30 to 9:45. Coming out of the no trade zone we had an opportunity for a pro-range reversal, got just a real quick 4 ticks on that. And then we had a nice clean pullback into our moving average for a continuation, a total of 7 ticks.

Now this next trade we had a nice clean pullback. An opportunity to get in short, got my first target off and then I cancelled my stops. I went to reenter my stops and I entered it as a market order and it closed me back out, so I only got 6 ticks on this trade, only with 2 contracts. When it was actually a nice, clean 10 to 14 tick trade by holding on to it. I didn’t want to chase a trade so I didn’t reenter the trade. We talked about it in the Shark Den. And you know, if we had a nice trailing stop this could have certainly carried it lower. Little bit disappointed we didn’t get the rest of that, but no worries.

We had a nice little pullback here for a continuation, another 9 ticks into the day. And then found our base here on a Shark band. As it retraced I was expecting anywhere from a 3 to 5 point pullback. I was looking for an opportunity to short, but the indicators just continue to hold it strong. Got as high up as a 5 point pullback and then we went into a no trade zone. So there’s no opportunities to short this market.

Once we got above our moving averages we were potentially considering a long, but it went into a no trade zone from 11:30 until 1:15 Eastern Standard Time. And approximately 70% of the time we will see the no trade zone move higher. And that’s exactly what happened here. I wasn’t even at my desk to be able to take advantage of any of this. It’s a no trade zone.

Coming back at 1:15 little bit of a sideways motion. 2:00 we generally try not to be in any long positions at the highs of the day, and still minor pullback. Continuation sideways. If we do not get a deep enough pullback here between 2:00 and 2:30 then the likelihood is exactly as we saw, sideways motion into the close. If I had a good 5 point pullback then I would expect us to run higher into the close. Just did not get it. And ran into the sideways motion. Right here. Wrapped around opening price. Little bit of a selloff going into the close.
