Good afternoon traders this is Brian with TraderShark.com, an educational website to learn how to trade the emini S&P futures. Today is Tuesday, March 3rd, 2015.
 
The market opened up this morning here at 2109.5 represented by this white dotted line. We did not have any news reports today, so there was no catalyst to get this market to move. Had no real clear direction. The selling pressure was coming in from overnight. I think there was a 7 point Globex range.
 
Coming out of the no trade zone from 9:30 until 9:45, we had an opportunity to get long on a pro-range reversal for a total of 4 ticks. Shortly thereafter about 9:54 just before going into the first reversal zone, we had an opportunity to get short. Got the first target off and then forced ourselves out based on the indicators.
 
Then as we went on into the morning we had a nice opportunity for a pullback. We had a Fib trade that did not get us in and then we had a little bit deeper pullback right here at about 10:15 for a continuation higher. Total of 8 ticks on that trade.
We had kind of a minor megaphone pattern developing. And then I did not take this trade. Colored in yellow, means I did not take it. We’re going to go into a higher timeframe chart here in just a moment.
 
This is our higher timeframe chart. And what we have is these horizontal lines are called Shark bands. The yellow line is our opening range. Once we got out of our opening range we had an opportunity for a hook pattern right here at 10:26 for a total of 18 ticks. I want you to notice the consolidation going on in the Shark bands. We said we were not going to be trading in here. However, we had a very strong wave trade setting up here and followed by a close below our trendline for a continuation lower.
 
I want you to see as we spread this out, you see this intended target area, it eventually got reached about an hour and a half later. In the meantime, we forced ourselves out early. Another opportunity for a hook pattern. Four, two and eleven ticks on the second hook pattern for a continuation lower. T1, T2 and T 3 were hit.
