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.

Good evening traders, this is Brian with TraderShark.com, an educational website to learn how to trade the S&P, Euro and crude futures. Today is Thursday, March 13th, 2014.

The market opened up at 1873.50. Knowing that today was contract roll-over day, I will trade only until about 11:30. I know a lot of trades happen later than that time frame, but that’s just a rule that I pretty much live by, unknowing the certainty. We want to trade the highest volume contracts. We’re changing from the March to the June contract. The March contract being ESH14, changing over to June contract ESM14.

Market opened this morning at 9:30. From 9:30 to 9:45 we generally don’t take any trades. We did have a really quick pro-range reversal. Some people may have taken 4 ticks on it. I took 3 ticks on a very quick trade. And then coming off of our opening price, an opportunity to get short. Holding on in through here, did not stop us out. Got a target 1 and target 2 for a total of 9 ticks.

Another opportunity here. It depends on whether the person actually hit their first target or not where they entered. This was not a good entry. I don’t know as though anybody took a full stop up, but I just want to say that if you did not get your first target off, you could very well have taken a full stop out here because the retracement went all the way back up to a full 8 ticks before continuing.

And then another opportunity to get in depending on whether plus 6 to plus 10 ticks to the downside. Continuing, a couple tests of this moving average working its way lower. Another opportunity to get in for a total of 9 ticks here. Another opportunity to get in for 16 ticks here. Even this pull-back did not stop us out. There was like 3 or 4 consistent hook patterns to the downside today. Another final 10 ticks into the final lunch time trading zone. And I was done trading at this point. You can see these target levels and continuations. I think it was 1862.25

Anyway, thank you for watching. To learn more about these and more advanced trade set-ups or to get a copy of the TraderShark trading manual, please visit TraderShark.com. And please remember we do have trials going on next week. Tuesday and Wednesday in the S&P and Euro Shark Den and Thursday and Friday in the crude oil Shark Den, which we will be opening up the NASDAQ also.

Good evening traders, this is Brian with TraderShark.com, an educational website to learn how to trade the S&P, Euro and crude futures. Today is Wednesday, March 12th, 2014.

The market opened up this morning here at 1858.25, represented by this white dotted line. We generally don’t trade this first 15 minutes unless it meets a couple of our exceptions. In this case we had a first opportunity to try to get short coming out of the no trade zone, right here at around 9:45 for a total of 10 ticks.
As we continue on into the morning we had a nice little pull-back. We had an opening range right here in the center. Opening range wraps around the opening price. And generally we don’t go for more than 6 ticks on a counter-trend trade. There wasn’t really any strength to the downside, no strength to the upside, so just a real quick 6 tick scale up here.

Got above the moving averages, and then there was literally no looking back. There’s no news reports that were that important. I think we had petroleum status report there at about 10:30. And then we had a nice beautiful hook pattern went off here, T1, T2 and T3 for a total of 4 ticks, 4 and 17, total of 25 ticks. So we continue on into the morning. There was several other hook patterns that were developing, but I was on that one for most of the day.

I want you to notice this is the opening price 58.25, 63 was yesterday’s low. We’re kind of watching it. Tested it once, tested it twice, tested it a third time. This is a little bit of a test. If you went into it. I did not get in on this one, you’ll notice the yellow arrow. However, when we nice went through it and pulled back, there’s your opportunity to get in. We had a wave trade. We had a Fibonacci setup. We had a hook pattern. Everything was setting up at this point. So anywhere, depending on the trades, there was also Shark Attack trade that went on in through here. Anywhere from 10 ticks to 6 points. That’s a total of 24 ticks. And that would be just with 2 contracts.

Shortly after that another hook pattern. Again the yellow ones are the ones I did not take, I’m just showing you for the Shark Den members. Then we go from 11:30 into 1:15 Eastern Standard Time is called the lunch time trading zone. There’s a couple nice trades in there. I don’t generally trade during that time frame.

Coming out, we’re looking for the market to push higher up into the 2:00. 2:00 looking for a potential selloff. We had it. And this is just giving a heads up when we broke below the moving averages. Nice pull-back for a continuation lower. I didn’t get in quite this early. Got in a little bit later right here, plus 4 to 12 ticks to the downside.

Why plus 4 to 12 is a countertrend trade? Well, once we’ve broken through and we’ve established an overhead resistance from a Shark band, the selling pressure coming in after 2:00 was going to determine whether we were going to go higher into the close or not, and that’s exactly what we saw. I generally don’t carry very high positions moving into the close. And I like to be out before that 4:00 close. So here, the last 10 minutes of the day, the final no trade zone for a total of 8 ticks.
