Good evening traders, this is Brian with TraderShark.com an educational website to learn how to trade the E-mini, Euro and Crude futures. Today is Monday, March 24^th and we are going to shortly look at Tuesday March 25^th. There’s only one good trade that occurred here on Monday. A nice little opportunity once we got outside of our opening range, for a continuation lower. Target one was hit for four, target two was hit for 11 and target three was hit for a total of 17 ticks just on one trade. That was pretty much it for the day, although we had a nice continuation. There was a pullback, I did not get into this trade, which is indicated by yellow showing that it was setup, I just didn’t get it. Then there is what is called a lunchtime trading zone. During that timeframe there was a nice clean bullish divergence. You can see this lower lows on price action. There were higher lows on momentum for a continuation higher. Generally, if you are trading counter-trend, you will go for two ticks and four ticks. In this case there was a nice target up here for a total of twelve ticks. Continuing on into the close of the day, that was it. There was only one trade and another trade happened during the lunchtime trading zone.

Let’s go ahead and check out what happened on Tuesday. This is Tuesday, March 25^th. I want to show you how we had a nice break out of our opening range, but I also want you to notice the lower lows and the higher highs. This is what is called a megaphone pattern. As soon as we saw that materialize in the first half hour of the day, pretty much should have known that we were going to have some sideways choppy market. Let’s get out of the opening range; we had a nice opportunity to get short. I did not get filled, the second candle came up to 1855 and I actually missed that trade. Continuing on into the rest of the day, there was an almost identical pattern setup. We were coming off of a sharkband, lower lows on price action but higher lows on momentum so we had a nice little bullish divergence for a continuation higher. It also occurred during the lunchtime trading zone.

Moving onto a lower timeframe chart, what you are looking at here is a lower timeframe chart for today March 25^th. The opening range from 9:30 to 9:45, we generally do not take any trades. Coming out of that no trade zone there really was a lot of sideways chop. You can see it hung around in the middle of the opening range. We had consumer confidence better than expected, so we would have expected for the market to push higher and the grind was sideways eventually selling off. We had an opportunity to get in long, I got the first target off and got stopped out for minus three ticks. The second trade got off long the first contract and got stopped out for minus three ticks. That was it for the morning session. I’m sorry we had one more trade, right here and took almost a full stop. I actually would have gotten out for minus five ticks a total of minus ten, but in this case I had a computer challenge and I could not get out quick enough so I got minus fourteen on that trade. Going into the lunchtime trading zone, there were literally no other trades except for what we showed on the higher timeframe chart of a bullish divergence right through here. Coming out of the lunchtime trading zone, that was pretty much it. Look at the sideways motion wrapped right around opening price. Towards the end of the day there was a small long trade at the end of the day. A total of six ticks is what I pulled on it. I got my first target off and got stopped out for minus two ticks, there was a lot of sideways chops.

Good evening traders, this is Brian with TraderShark.com, an educational website to learn how to trade the E-mini S&P, Euro and Crude futures. Today is Friday, March 21^st, 2014. Quadruple Witching, that is where the stock index options expire, the stock index futures expire, the stock options expire, and the single stock futures expire. The market opened up here at 1872.25, represented by this white dotted line. We generally don’t trade from 9:30 to 9:45, we do have a small scalping technique called a pro-range reversal. We had an opportunity to get short, and I got forced out of my position for minus two ticks on this trade. I got the first target of four ticks on this trade, and then once we got through the moving average I had an opportunity to try and get short on this Fibonacci trade. I had a no fill at that price.

As price action went in, again we saw quadruple witching. When we see this, we know that it is going to be choppy. There were no other news reports that we had; right here just below the opening price we had an opportunity to get short. Target one and target two was hit for a total of eight ticks. Another opportunity to trade, I traded three contracts, two ticks, ten ticks, and ten ticks on our way to the downside. As we worked our way back up into the opening range, we had sharkbands above, we had our sharkline there. Everything was kind of stopping us from getting into any trade. We had no visual representation that would give us any opportunity to get in. Then, when we went into our lunchtime trading zone I was pretty much done for the day at this point. The market went sideways and dropped off at about 1:15 Eastern Standard Time. I simply did not trade this afternoon because of the volatility. A lot of traders did take off, and left. I was looking for an opportunity to get in, but nothing really presented itself that I was interested in. I hope that you all have a great weekend; we will see you all bright and early Monday morning in the SharkDen.

Good afternoon traders, this is Brian with TraderShark.com, an educational website to learn how to trade the S&P, Euro and Crude futures. Today is Tuesday, March 20^th, 2014. The market opened up this morning here at 1849.75, represented by this white dotted line. We don’t trade within the first thirty minutes generally; we do have a couple of exceptions to the rule. In this particular case we did have an actual Fibonacci pullback, for a continuation higher. The first target got off properly, and then our market internals got us out for only plus two ticks. There was not much coming out of the no trade zone. The jobless claims this morning was within consensus range. That is really all that I am concerned about when I look at news reports, at ten o’clock we had housing starts. Everything else seemed to be within consensus range here right around 10 o’clock. I want you to notice that there were no additional trades at this point; I am a pullback trader, not a breakout trader so we did not get this initial move. There was a nice pullback and an opportunity to get long. Target one and target two hit for a total of six ticks, continuing on further. The yellow arrows are setups that I did not take. I explained in the SharkDen why, I think that in this case it was driving right into a SharkBand.

Coming through the moving averages to the downside, there was an opportunity for target one and target two for a total of eight ticks. Then there was another follow-on opportunity for target two for a total of six ticks. Again, the targets seem a little bit light, and that is just due to the choppy nature of the market. I am watching the market internals very closely and if they force me out based on what I am seeing, and then I kind of avoid taking a loss based on this. I am trading those live in the room. Now, we have a lunchtime trading zone here from 11:30 to 1:15. I generally don’t take this trading opportunity, but for those of you that were watching, I had drawn these vertical lines showing this as a potential entry point. You see the vertical tracker down here on our momentum indicator. Then underneath, another opportunity for a long. I did not take those trades, again I’m more or less doing something over the lunchtime trading zone. Then coming out of the lunchtime trading zone, I also drew an indication of an opportunity to go short. I am drawing these so that you can recognize them, and then in the room I will tell you why I did take a trade, or did not take a trade. At two o’clock we do not take long positions. Here it came back through the moving averages. There was not much going on, I prefer not to trade in the afternoons. In this particular case, I had an opportunity to get long right into the close. Target one and target two was hit for a total of six ticks. To learn more about these and move advanced trade setups, or to get a copy of the TraderShark Trading Manuals please visit TraderShark.com. Thank you, have a great evening and I will see you in the SharkDen in the morning.

Hello again traders, this is Art Dill, the Oil Shark for TraderShark.com. A brief recap of my trading for Tuesday, March 18th, 2014.

Before I show you the trade sheet and the three trades that I took today, a brief reminder that this coming Thursday and Friday we will be having a free trial to the Oil Den. Would love to see some of you there to watch us take these trades in real time.

Here is a look at my trade sheet for the day. As you can see I took 3 trades. They were all longs. Ending the day two winning trades, no losing trades and one break even. Plus $0.31 for the day. First trade was at 6:11 AM at 9796, exit 9803. Then a nice $0.24 winning trade at 7:08 AM, long at 9804, exit 9828. And the last trade I tried was at 8:07 AM Pacific, long at 9859, exit 9859, breakeven on the trade. Off to a good start for the week, currently 4 winning trades, no losing trades, 1 breakeven trade and currently up 48 ticks.

Here is a look at the actual chart and my entry 6:11 AM Pacific. You can see it was a long at 9796. I covered that trade at 9803. The second trade I took, 7:08 AM. A long at 9804, covered that trade at 9828 plus $0.24. And the final trade of the morning was a long at 9859 that was at 8:07 AM, covered that at 9859 breakeven. Again a good day, two winning trades, no losing trades, one break even, plus $0.31. And for the week off to a good start.

Good evening traders, this is Brain with TraderShark.com, an educational website to learn how to trade the emini S&P, Euro and crude futures. Today is Tuesday, March 18th, 2014.

The market opened up at 1854.50, represented by this white dotted line. Today is the first day of a free trial we had going out today. We generally don’t trade from 9:30 to 9:45. Right here at about 9:40 we actually had an opportunity to do a pro-range reversal. I did not get into this, so it’s colored yellow, but a couple of traders in the room did indicate that for a total of 4 ticks.

Coming out of the no trade zone we had an opportunity to get long right here, total of 9 ticks. Into our first reversal zone. Pull back. I had a wave trade long. Stopped myself out because of a market internal indicator, and then I had a hook pattern set-up on a higher time frame chart for a total of 4, 6 and 17 ticks. I did not get the 17 ticks. I just got the first two contracts.

And then as we continue to push up higher coming into our second reversal zone, we found that the second reversal zone did not break our significant level, likely a continuation higher. Some traders were able to jump onto this for a continuation higher.

We then worked our way back through the moving average for an opportunity to get short. First target got hit. Stopped out for minus 2 ticks. And then we went into the lunch time trading zone. We had a target area that actually was hit to a tick, the selloff. I generally don’t trade during lunch time trading zone, but some people do. Coming out of that at 1:15, that’s from 11:30 to 1:15 Eastern Standard Time.

The market took off with a move higher again. There was no real strong news reports that were propelling the market, mostly volume moves today. Pull back to the moving average. I’m not a big afternoon trader. I will generally wait until 3:30 into the close. For the most part this is sideways motion, lower volume. And then right here the last bit before the last half-hour. And after you get short. Got the first target off and then scaled out a second target. And then the market went sideways on into the close.

For those of you attending the webinar today and tomorrow, I’ve got a special posted on the website for webinar attendees. Please click on TraderShark.com and go to the Home tab, and there’s a webinar special right there. We’ll talk about it tomorrow in the Shark Den.

Good evening traders, this is Brian with TraderShark.com, an educational website to learn how to trade the emini S&P, Euro and crude futures. Today is Monday, March 17th 2014. Happy St. Patrick’s Day everybody.

The market opened up here at 1843.75, represented by the white dotted line. I’d like to remind everybody that we are having a free trial tomorrow and Wednesday in the S&P and the Euro room. And then Thursday and Friday in the Crude room, which will soon be trading the NASDAQ in April. So please make sure you sign up for that. Send me an email or go onto the website at TraderShark.com. Click on the Free Trial, and we’ll get you signed up for that.

The market took off this morning we had a really wide opening range, over 10 points. When we have a 10 point range we know the market’s going to be sideways chop. Had a nice, this is really the only opportunity for a pull-back. An opportunity of 4 ticks on a tidal wave trade came all the way back, pulled us out at a 14 tick trail stop. So it had it as high up as 14 ticks, came back, stopped us out at plus 4. Had a hook pattern, also for 4 ticks. Little bit of a grind higher. An opportunity to get in here. Took a stop up for minus 2 ticks. And then we crossed through our moving average to the downside, but still there really wasn’t giving us many opportunities. We were trying to trade into the Shark band, into the opening range, which I will not do. And here we had another opportunity to get long. Another stop out, minus 2 ticks. Not a big deal. We kept safe as opposed to getting chopped up like the majority of other traders out there.

Going into the lunch time trading zone, had a little bit of a pop higher. There was a nice setup for an auto wave long. Coming out of there, I want to see the nice sideways chop here. The higher timeframe chart was certainly running 8 to 7 ticks per candle and that in itself was giving us a sideways chop indication. Look at the sideways, I mean it really wasn’t giving us any opportunities even on into the close.

So again, remember to sign up for the free trial. Have a great evening. To learn more about these and more advanced trade setups, please visit TraderShark.com

Stock Market Crash Video – May 6, 2010

Posted on March 15, 2014 by admin

Traders,

This is a great video on the stock market crash of May 6, 2010. This should make you aware of what could happen.

We have watched the market make parabolic moves higher on lower volume. That will eventually come to an end as the Fed pulls back it’s money infusion into the economy. When it does, the retracement can be just as steep and 3 times faster. Always use stops no matter what trading vehicle you are using.

From Justin – This is Think or Swim audio from the futures pit when the market had a flash crash in 2010. It’s amazing. Enjoy!

Good afternoon traders, this is Brian with TraderShark.com, an educational website to learn how to trade the S&P, Euro and crude futures. We’ll soon be adding the NASDAQ in next month. Today is Friday, March 14th, 2014.

The market opened up here at 1836.25, but I want you to notice the opening range. We had quite a substantial sell-off yesterday afternoon, expected sideways chop today, either sideways chop or continuation lower. And sideways chop is what we had. Today was the first full trading day of the new June contract. So with that being said, always exercising a little bit extra caution on the day the contracts get initiated. And the Shark bands are not going to be quite as valid. I want you to notice they weren’t even touched here on the high side.

Just coming in through the morning, after the first 15 minutes we had negative news out of the Consumer Center report and there really wasn’t much reaction to it, right? It was below consensus range. We had a trade on up into that news report. Target 1 and Target 2 were hit on a hook pattern of 4 ticks, 10 ticks, the third contract got stopped off for zero.

Notice this afternoon no trades until near the close right here at about what, 3:45. I’ll go ahead and, let’s go ahead and look at a different screenshot on that. This is a screenshot of the latter part of the afternoon. Right there, at a set about 3:45 Eastern Standard Time that we had a nice set-up on our anchor chart. Nice set-up on our trigger and an opportunity to get in for a total of 9 ticks. Why 9 ticks? We had a big buying block here at 1833. Regular target would be around 1833.5. I got out even 1 tick sooner at 1833.75. So 2 ticks and 7 ticks for a total of 9 ticks on that final trade.

Again, patience is a virtue. Paid off in the latter part of the afternoon. I don’t generally trade the afternoons except that last half-hour of the day. Keep in mind that when a news report comes out that is negative and the market moves higher or goes flat it will tend to have a sell-off or a follow through on the news report in the afternoons. It’s a matter of when. We don’t know when. Watch for the volume to step in and that’s when we’re going to go with it.

Hope you enjoyed it. Please feel free to check us out. We have a free trial coming up next week. Email me at info@tradershark.com. I should have a link up on the website; otherwise I will send you an email direct. Thank you for watching.
