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, September 20th, 2012.
 
The market opened up this morning at 1447.75 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 did watch the market sell off a little bit. Actually the news reports were both within consensus range. So there’s no trade setups.
 
We did have a nice move through the moving average. Pullback here. An opportunity to get long. And we did take a little bit of heat, but no stop outs. Target 1 and target 2 hit for a total of 13 ticks on this particular trade.
 
We then had a setup going into what’s called a Shark Attack trade. So we had some targets up here around 8 ticks and also at 16 ticks. I had 3 different contracts running. One of the contracts I scaled out at 8 ticks. Another contract got stopped out here at break even. And the third contract we had a minus 4 ticks. And this was a long trade. Literally the Shark Attack trade can run anywhere from 5 minutes to as many as 2 to 3 hours. And it’s a period of time when they’ll stall the market sideways until you see indicators supporting a short position and then they’ll whip it up against you to the long side. We expected that all day. And again we saw a lot of chop. The market makers really geared to getting you out of good trades and into bad trades.
 
And then what did we see? We saw a nice little burst here towards the end and towards 1455, which is a monthly resistance level. And then we went into the no trade zone. And just I want you to see one last thing after the no trade zone this thing just took off up into the 1450 level.

Good evening traders, this is Brian with TraderShark.com, an educational website to learn how to trade the emini S&P futures and the Euro futures. Today is Tuesday, September 18th, 2012.
 
You will notice that the color of the candles are different. The reason of that is it will help to distinguish between the Euro futures and the ES futures. This is actually the Euro futures. And the reason I’m showing this is we usually open up the Shark Den at around 8:30 in the morning Eastern Standard Time. The U.S. market has been running pretty much sideways lately. A lot of flat chop. And as a result we’ve been making our additional money in the Euro.
 
So again from 8:30 in the morning I like to watch it from 7:30 in the morning just depending on my time schedule. But no real trade set up until right about here at 9:14. About 9:11 we had an opportunity to get short. Target 1 and target 2 were hit for a total of 11 ticks on this particular trade. We do have traders in the room that do what’s called a trailing stop. And they held on to this for a substantial gain. However, in the trading method for the conservative traders once you get your profit targets, stop. If you have to enter again, it costs you another second set of commissions, but you get another 11 ticks right there. Target 1 and target 2 hit for a total of 11 ticks.
 
And then not much else going on. The Euro tended to go sideways. The U.S. market opened up. We had another opportunity right there about 11:08 to go long. Target 1 was hit. Got stopped out for minus 1 tick. Mostly because we have about an 8 tick target and we did not quite hit it. Got stopped out for minus 1 tick. And that was it for the Euro.
 
In the ES market or the S&P emini, we don’t trade from 9:30 until 9:45. And that market, even though a couple news reports, you can just see the sideways chop. We literally had no opportunities to get in. And for one trade right here at about 11:08. An opportunity to get long. Target 1 and target 2 hit. I indicated we had an entry somewhere around 1353.50 or better. And that was up here. And the market continued to go lower. I actually got in around 1353 even. Took the first target for 4 ticks and the second one for 9 ticks. So that it matched up with the entry at.
 
And that was pretty much it for the day. Went into the no trade zone from 11:30 to 1:15 Eastern Standard Time. And then if you crunched this up, I mean that’s just pure sideways movement right in to the close.

No trades were posted today for Monday, September 17, 2012. We did have a great setup at 14:00 or 2:00pm EST for a short position that was mentioned after the fact. Some traders were able to take advantage of it. Let’s look for more volume in the weeks to come. Good trading to you all.

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. Today is Friday, September 14th, 2012.
 
It’s the first day of our December contract trading. Those days tend to be a little bit choppy. We’ll go ahead and see how it develops here. The market opened up this morning here at 1455.50 represented by the white dotted line. These yellow lines are an opening range that we use. But I want you to notice we generally don’t trade from 9:30 until 9:45 Eastern Standard Time.
 
Coming out of the no trade zone there was a nice opportunity to get in on this trade for a quick 2 and 8 ticks profit, total of 8 ticks. And then if you didn’t get in there we had a nice little breakout for a potential hook pattern long and then an opportunity to get in here and ride it out for the day. I did not, it’s colored in yellow because I did not take advantage of that.
 
You know there’s a difference of taking fixed profit targets or have a trailing stop and that really depends a lot on your risk management and your using a trailing stop if you have a little bit larger bank account and that should work in your favor. In this particular case a trailing stop would have just not get out of the park today.
 
We tend to be pull back traders, so as this market continued to work its way to the upside, we’re looking for a pullback. Had some nice pull backs but no opportunities to get long. Crossed through our moving average. Gave us an opportunity to get short. Target 1 and target 2 were hit. In this particular case we knew that that steep of a run up was going to have a similar steep selloff so we increased our profit targets to the downside.
 
Once you get your profit target, if you did not get in on that trade, another opportunity to get short here. Standard target 1 and target 2 for a total of 6 ticks. Hitting our opening range. Not real sure what’s going to go on at this point. A lot of sideways movement. The wider the range the choppier the day. In this particular case, riding along the upper band. No interest to try and trade this. Just it would have been, you’re getting chopped out.
 
11:30 until 1:15 Eastern Standard Time is a period of lower volume, higher volatility. And coming out of the no trade zone, right back into the opening range. So again, no opportunities to taking any trades. You can trade in here; just know that you have a higher probability of getting a stop out. And here we did. Thought we were going to have a good break to the downside and we had a pullback. Target 1 was hit and we got stopped out for minus 2 ticks. So finished the day, finished the week very well.

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, September 13th, 2012.
 
The market opened up this morning here at 1437.25. Right here in the middle of this Shark band. I want you to notice the narrow Globex range. We had I think what, 4.25 to 4.5 point spread and that will usually indicate a very narrow market for the U.S. markets. We did have jobless claims and producer price index at 8:30. They were within consensus range, so we really didn’t have much occur here in the opening part of the morning.
 
So you notice we stayed in between the opening range. Nice little break out of the opening range. Little bit of a head fake. Pull back. And you’re not seeing what we have is called a no trade zone at 11:30 in the morning. So we had no trades this morning and then the FOMC announcement came out at 12:30 and it just shot out right up to our first Shark band.
 
There was no opportunities. We generally trade on pullback opportunities. There was 1 clean pullback here. You’ll notice this is a higher time trading chart. We simply did not have any opportunities to trade during this no trade zone. It was very volatile. A lot of the indicators were conflicting. You can see a nice cross here on our momentum indicator for some people were able to get on a little bit of a run, but this thing just cut through our second Shark band like butter and then worked its way up. Third Shark band cut through like butter.
 
Again, we had an overwhelming situation where the government was going to buy back of the bonds by the government was less than half of what was expected. So we weren’t sure if that was negative news or if it weighed positive news on the market. The indicators were mostly pointing positive. We didn’t know it was going to run quite this fast and this high.
 
And we had the FOMC announcement as well as contract rollover today. So with that a lot of times we just sit on our hands. We don’t want to get caught in the chop or the volatility and as a result we did actually miss out on this good strong move up to the upside.
 
We finally had an overwhelmingly strong resistance here at 1462. That was a weekly plug number, as well as a monthly plug number. So that being said generally can run through by as much as 2 points. It ran through 2.25 points. And then we had a little bit of a selloff right into the close. So we basically had zero trades for today.
