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 Tuesday, August 26th, 2014.

We’re excited to host an event with Rande Howell, the Emotions of Money and Loss in Trading. That will be taking place tomorrow at 4:30 PM Eastern Standard Time. Simply go to the website TraderShark.com, press the home tab, right there, it says Next Webinar – Guest. Click on that. We’ll see Rande’s bio and what he plans on talking about, and it’s a free presentation.

Now back to today, the market opened up here at 1997.75, represented by this white dotted line. We don’t trade generally from 9:30 to 9:45. We do have what’s called a pro-range reversal. I did not take it, it’s colored in yellow, but this was good for 4 ticks. There’s another opportunity for a pro-range reversal. Again, another trade that I did not take. Plus four and plus four, some of the traders in the room took advantage of that.

And then as we worked our way into the morning we had consumer confidence come out within consensus range, so it was really non-market moving event. Tried an opportunity to get short, did not get filled. Got into a pullback. Got our first target off. Got stopped off for minus 2 ticks.

As the market continued we had a nice little break above our range for a pull back. With the volume and the movement of the market today, keep your profit targets tight. So if you’re only able to get 2 ticks, 4 ticks, 6 ticks, be grateful. Take that and survive to take another trade. So in this case, I did have, I had actually 3 contracts and I only made 8 ticks on 3 contracts. Not anything to write home about, but it was a profitable trade nonetheless.

Then we get into what’s called our lunchtime trading zone from 11:30 to 1:15 Eastern Standard Time. There was a nice clean trade during lunchtime trading zone. You can also see how our momentum lined up to the downside. Coming out of the lunchtime trading zone, look at how tight that lunchtime trading zone was, there was little or no trading going on. We had an opportunity to get long. Again, two ticks per each contract, almost not even worth trading. And look at the difference from 1:15 until 3:50 and into the close, almost identical to yesterday afternoon.

Good evening traders, this is Brian with TraderShark.com, an educational website on how to trade the emini S&P futures. Today is Monday August 25th 2014. Let’s go and start out by telling you about a Webinar we have coming up here at TraderShark.com. We are sponsoring Rande Howell, “Master the Emotions of Money and Loss of Trading.” Go to the Website TraderShark.com. Go ahead and click over the Home tab and you will see the next Webinar Guest, click on that. You will see a little bio and brief description of Rande. This is this coming Wednesday at 4:30, it is about a 45 minute presentation. Click here to register, it tells you a little about Rande. We are also going to have a free Webinar coming up that following Friday, I’ll get that link up here shortly. This morning, the market opened up at 1996 represented by this white dotted line. We’re awful close to that 2000 mark and you know that we are going to gravitate up there gradually whether it is today or into the week. So a lot of people are looking to go long into that high, but new home sales came in below consensus range this morning, so that is a bearish signal or shot across the bow if you will. Let’s go and check this out. From 9:30 and 9:45, we generally call that a no trade zone. Just coming out of the 9:45 time frame heading up till you get short and got stopped out for a minus 4 ticks. I took minus 4 ticks and moved my stock up at a standard trade setup would have gone in T1, and I got stopped at minus 2 ticks. Continuing into the morning we have a news report at 10 o’clock, the new home sales and notice we we’re trying get into a long position, not just because of the news itself being bearish but because of the trade setup we had in the moment going in to our favor. New opportunity to get in here right about 10:17 or so and another opportunity if you want to add on positions. Rode a little bit of a pullback for continuation. And then as we move on there is another opportunity get in this little pullback, got out just based on market internal indicator got me out a little bit early no big deal, first contract was 2 ticks, 2nd contract was 2 ticks. We had a very low volume starting out the day so if you have a lower volume day you want to have to your targets just a little bit tighter, your stops ends tighter. As we work our way in the next no trade zone, actually this is called a lunch time trading zone from so from 11:30 to 1:15 Eastern Standard Time, some traders choose to trade in this time frame, if you did, nice beautiful setups to the downside but for those traders in there, trading in the no trading zone, we are going to review more on that. Working our way sideways, you can see at 96, back up at the opening price and that was pretty much it for the day. So please feel free to join us, this Wednesday at 4:30 for Rande Howells presentation, I think you’ll enjoy it. And on Friday, we are going to have a free day in the shark den. To learn more about these and more 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’ll talk to you in a Shark Den tomorrow morning.

Good evening traders, this is Brian with TraderShark.com, an educational website to learn how to trade the e-mini S&P futures. Today is Monday August 11^th, 2014. Let me start off by telling you that we have a free webinar going on tomorrow. There are going to be seven investors, who will be presenting from 1:45 until 7pm tomorrow night. It is going to be followed by a free trial to our SharkDen. So go to the TraderShark.com website, go to the next live webinar, and click on that. It will take you over to the investor inspirations area. They are presenting us, Tradershark. I am going to be presenting 5 Key Elements Before Entering A Trade. There will be seven investment professionals on Tuesday August 12^th, so come over and join us. Click register now and it will take you over to their page and you can get signed up to see us.

For what is going on in the market. We opened up at 1934 represented by the white dotted line. Where is the line in the sand? The line in the sand is down here at the 1926 area. As long as we are above 1926, we are bullish until we get up to 1942. Once we get above 1942, we are bullish until 1980. Now, if we break below 1926 we are looking for a lower move. In the meantime we are on a bullish bias. The market opened up, and from 930 to 945 we have what is called an opening range, and during that time frame it is a no trade zone. Coming out of the opening range, I had an opportunity to get long. I got the first target off, got stopped out for minus two ticks, a nice setup again and hit target one and target two for a total of eight ticks. Then we reached up to our next SharkBand, which you don’t see on this screen. We had an opportunity to go short, we got our first target off and started to bounce back. I wasn’t sure if this was going to continue and forced out for a total of two ticks, a total of four ticks to the downside. Then there was a nice pullback here for a continuation lower for a total of seven ticks. Then bouncing off of our moving averages, this was a nice long hook pattern on a higher timeframe chart. Yes, we had to sweat bullets a little bit, get a little bit of increased heart palpitations before we continued higher. On this trade, we had a total of eleven ticks.

That was pretty much it for the day going into a lunchtime trading zone from 1130 to 115 Eastern Standard Time. You can kind of see the sideways motion here. Then coming back and retesting the opening price. We kind of ran sideways here in the opening range. Not any other further movements until right here, you can see a nice little momentum move to the downside for a total of eight ticks into the close. To learn more about these and other advanced trade setups, or to get a copy of the TraderShark Trading Manuals please visit TraderShark.com. Have a great evening and we will see you in the SharkDen tomorrow, and the free webinar tomorrow night.

Up Up and Away – Trading Video – Aug 8, 2014

Good evening traders, this is Brian with TraderShark.com an educational website to teach you how to trade the emini S&P futures. Today is Friday, August 8^th 2014. You have often heard the saying that a picture is worth a thousand words. This morning the market started out relatively flat, you can see the sideways motion here between the sharkbands. We have a blue SharkBand and a green SharkBand. This is basically our opening range. The price action opened up at 1909, but then if you carried on into what is called a lunchtime trading zone right there at about 1125 or so, there is a nice opportunity to get into what is called a hook pattern. Some people call it a flag pattern, but we have our own rules that are mixed in with that. Now, I want you to notice that yes sometimes these take a little longer to develop. The first target is four ticks, the second target is 50% and the third target is T3 up here at 100% of the range. I want you to notice this hook pattern, T1,T2 and T3. This hook pattern, T1,T2, T3. The total on this hook pattern would have been about 41 ticks, it would have been plus four, plus twelve, and plus 25 ticks, so a total of 41. Over here to the right hand side, this is a total of 58 ticks. Again, I did not carry out and hold on through my T3, this is very difficult. I did not, but we do have some deeper pocket traders who do hold onto them much longer than that. I want you to see, they take them at a much higher risk. You want your stop in right below this swing level. If you brought in your stop below this swing level, then you certainly could have gotten stopped out, only getting your T1, or maybe even getting a full stop out at three. Regardless, I want you to see that the patterns work consistently no matter what market. Whether you’ve got a flat market, or a market taking out to the upside.

On August 12^th, we’ve got a great event going on. Go to Tradershark.com, go to the home tab and click on next live webinar. That should take you over to the next page; Investor Inspiration has a live webinar investment series. We have been graciously invited to join them.
