Good afternoon traders, this is Brian with TraderShark.com, an educational website to learn how to trade the emini S&P futures. Today is Friday, February 27th, 2015.
I’m going to tell you about some webinars we have coming up next week: Monday, Thursday and Friday. Stand by until the end of the video and I’ll go ahead and go into detail.
Today the market opened up here at 2107.75 represented by this white dotted line. We generally don’t trade from 9:30 until 9:45 in the morning. We do look for what we call pro-range reversals and I’ll go into that in more detail. We didn’t have any of those trades this morning.
I did attempt a short position right here at around 9:48. I got stopped out for minus 4 ticks. Went on into the morning, Friday morning; Friday’s tend to be my better day too. At around 10:00, shortly after the news report we had consumer sentiment come out and pending home sales, both better than expected. I got my first target off and got stopped out for minus 2 ticks. I was expecting the market to push higher. The Chicago PMI was actually lower than consensus range, so we had some mixed news reports out there.
As we continued on into the day, right here is really our best trade of the day at around 10:37. Again, going into a trending timeframe from 10:30 to about 11:00, had an opportunity to get in. Depending on what trade setup you took you got 9 or 11 ticks at this position. And then one more final position on a retracement here at around 11:19 for a total of 6 ticks before you get into the lunchtime trading zone.
To let you know about a couple of webinars we have coming up next week. Head over to the Home tab. Click on the Home tab, Live Webinar. And you’ll see that Alla Peters from Alpha Wave Traders is going to be presenting on Monday at around 4:30 PM Eastern Standard Time. Make sure you get a chance to register. She does trading with Fibonaccis without using any indicators whatsoever.
And then if you continue to scroll down on that page you’ll see that I’m going to be presenting a webinar at 4:30 on Thursday, March 5th and make sure you register for the free trial.
To learn more about these and more advanced trade setups or to get a copy of the Trader Shark trading manuals, please visit TraderShark.com. Have a great weekend and I’ll see you in the Shark Den on Monday morning.

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, February 19th 2015.
The market opened up this morning here at 2089.25 represented by this white dotted line. We generally don’t trade from 9:30 to 9:45, opening 15 minutes of the day. We do have one exception. We have what’s called a pro-range reversal. Tried to get in there at around 9:35, no fill. Came down and touched on entry but did not get us filled.
Breaking though our moving average we had a nice little pullback. Got our first target off and then forced ourselves out as we had this pullback. No opportunities to get a run. Our target range was barely 4 and 5 ticks today. So you’ll notice we had two contracts here for a total of 6 ticks. We did run three contracts on this particular setup for 2, 5, and 6 ticks for a continuation higher and another 6 ticks. A nice little run this morning.
And then what happens after a nice long run? Just like a sprinter, it will take a little bit of a break. We came into our 11:00 timeframe and then there’s a nice clean trendline break to the downside for another 6 ticks. So, you know, while it wasn’t much it was certainly scalping today. We did well overall. Going into the lunchtime trading zone from 11:30 to 1:15
Eastern Standard Time. I didn’t trade this afternoon. We have options expiration tomorrow.
And just a quick reminder we had a free day in the Shark Den on Wednesday. It was a very choppy market. We still did okay. It was a choppy market, didn’t make much headway. But I do have a special going on right now if you’re interested. Go to the Home tab. Click on the Webinar Specials. This is for our webinar attendees. From here all the way down to a 20% discount. This is good through tomorrow night. We also have a Shark Den, another 25% discount there. And the free trial is over for this month. We have got another one coming up next month. Please feel free to join us then.
In the meantime, if you’d like to learn more about these or more advanced trade setups, please visit us at TraderShark.com. Have a great evening everybody and I’ll see you in the Shark Den in the morning.

Good evening traders, this is Brian with TraderShark.com, an educational website to learn how to trade the emini S&P futures. Today is Friday, February 13th, 2015.
The market opened up at 2086 represented by this white dotted line. It was a relatively choppy morning, Friday the 13th, yes we know. There were literally no trades in the morning. You can see how we came back and retested the open. And nice little opportunity to get into a long position here at about 10:25 for 6 ticks.
As we went on into the morning you can kind of see there really wasn’t much else going on. Had a no-fill opportunity right there at about 11:08. And then we went into the lunchtime trading zone, 11:30 until 1:15 Eastern Standard Time. Then we had a break through our opening price. Nice little pullback. Stalled.
Got an opportunity to get into a trade here at around 2:15 for a total of 8 ticks and that was pretty much it for the day. While it looks like there was a nice move, the backing and filling made it very choppy to make any money on that day.
Hope everybody has an awesome Valentine’s Day weekend. We also have Monday as a holiday, U.S. President’s Day, but on Tuesday, February 17th, we have a webinar going on at around 4:15 Eastern Standard Time and the free trial is on Wednesday, February 18th.
How do you get there? Go to TraderShark.com. Go the Home tab. Touch it and you’ll see it says Next Live Webinar. Click on that Next Live Webinar and there it will tell you the next event we have right there at Tuesday February 17th from 4:15 until 5:00. It’s just going to be an explanation overview of how the Shark Den works. We’re going to cover the five key elements, how time plays a critical role.

FOMC Announcement – Dec 17, 2014 Trading Video

Good afternoon traders, this is Brian with TraderShark.com, an educational website to learn how to trade the emini S&P futures. Today is Wednesday, December 17, 2014.
The morning of FOMC announcement I will generally talk about what to expect at the announcement timeframe, which you can see here is a standard pullback and continuation, or what’s called action, reaction, continuation. And with that FOMC operates just a little bit differently. The way the FOMC announcement would operate is a breakout in the intended direction, pull back below the initial starting point for a continuation higher.
What actually happened today? Today, generally we will see a movement from 9:30 until 11:30, we’ll see a burst in one direction and then it will run sideways into the announcement. The opposite happened this morning. We had sideways motion first part of the morning and then we had a little bit of a breakout, pullback, continuation right on up into the announcement itself.
What happened after the announcement? You see this horizontal line right here? This horizontal line was at 2:00, right there around 1985, 1986. Breakout, pullback, continuation. So did price action actually pull back below the initial starting point? It did. Continuation on up into 2010.
Did we even think it was going to make it to 2010? Once you get above 1980 the tendency of the market will be to gravitate towards 2000. Right, 1980 to 2000. Can we make it? That’s 20 points. The market opened up this morning at 1971.50. Can we make it? Well the five day average true range was 35 points. So the answer was yes, we can make it up to 2000. And the stretch was up to this 2009 – 2010 level. 2009 is actually a monthly S1. 2010 was actually a plug number that we calculated in the room. And look where our price action worked its way up to.
I hope that helps for the next FOMC announcement. Have a great evening and I’ll see you in the Shark Den in the morning.

Good afternoon traders, this is Brian with TraderShark.com, an educational website to learn how to trade the emini S&P futures. Today is Friday, December 12th, 2014.
The market opened up at 2013.25 represented by this white dotted line. From 9:30 until 9:45 we generally don’t trade unless we have an exception to the rule. In this case we had what’s called a pro-range reversal. Put our position on. Did not get filled and it reached the first target. Cancelled the order real quickly.
And then we watch the market continue to push higher. We had an expanded opening range and we were going to see mostly sideways chop today. At 2020 the market will tend to gravitate towards 2000. Didn’t know we were going to see it later on this afternoon, but we had that in the back of our mind. We did have a trial day, so I was a little more alert to that.
We had an opportunity to get in here right at around 10:07 for an opportunity for target 1 and target 2 for a total of 12 ticks. Another opportunity to add on to the position with a no fill for a continuation without us. And then we had another opportunity to try to jump on. First target got hit. Got stopped out for minus 2 ticks.
Continuing on into the morning. Right around 10:30 we had a 10:30 reversal zone, which did not reverse. At that point we said likelihood continuation lower. Got our first target off. Got stopped out. Another trade, jumped on. This is many more trades than we’ll normally take, but today the market was moving. And so we had an opportunity for T1 and T2. Ten ticks on this trade and then we continued lower.
And then we find strong support level. We weren’t sure what was going to happen. There was a nice reversal here. Generally not much of a countertrend trader myself. So I got T1 and forced myself out on this one for 6 ticks. This is a nice setup. Did not get into it. We had a hook pattern setup here at around 11:22 for a continuation. T1 and T2 were hit; T3 did not get hit, for a total of 10 ticks.
Going into the lunchtime trading zone from 11:30 until 1:15 Eastern Standard Time. Again since it was a free trial day, I was watching and I was talking to some of the traders. We also had another hook pattern develop in the lunchtime trading zone. Then it was a nice opportunity to get in for T1 and T2 for a total of 17 ticks.
As we continued on into the afternoon they were taunting a lot of the traders to try to fade the 2013 level. Kept retesting it. Retesting it again. Ran their stops. Notice we’re not in any positions at this point. We’re near the highs of the day at about 2:00. On your time chart, when we’re near the highs of the day, we don’t want to be caught in a long position at 2:00. What happened here? Market broke through our moving average for a continuation lower. Nine ticks, T1, T2. Another pullback, another opportunity, T1, T2 for 9 ticks.
And the market started to accelerate to the downside. No buyers stepping in. Here we are working our way towards 2000. What did a lot of people do? 2000’s a big round number. The amateurs are going to try to buy into it here. I found a nice opportunity to jump in short. This does not occur during the trial period. Just for full disclosure. Hold on until the next support level, which is around 96, 95. Where did it end up? Right there at 96, 95.
And as one of the traders mentioned in the room, you know, you can’t have a pullback in crude over the last several months by $30 even $50 a barrel and not have some type of ripple effect throughout the economy. So this is a great opportunity for them to continue selling pressure to the downside, catching a lot of people going into the holiday season long.
With the free trial period we had a webinar special going on and this is run through December 14th at midnight, so take advantage of it. TraderShark.com, go to the Home tab, Webinar Specials. Then you have an opportunity to get into the Shark Den and the trading manuals, all for $249 or if you scroll down the page, you can actually get the manuals at a discounted rate as well as getting the Shark Den subscription at a discounted rate.
Have a great weekend everybody. Get your Christmas shopping done early, holiday shopping done early. And I’ll see you all in the Shark Den bright and early on Monday morning.
