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, December 5th, 2014.
We’re rapidly approaching the holiday season. We had a lot of sideways motion this morning. The non-farm payroll came out better than expected. And then we had a nice pullback right into about 11:30 for a push higher. This is called a hook pattern. That was good for anywhere from 11 to 27 ticks. First target’s 4 ticks, second one’s 50%, third one is 100% on that trade.
Continuation in the afternoon, and again, Friday afternoon, not expecting much movement. There was a gradual sell off. And then they reached their support level for a bounce. You can also see how our indicator gave us a nice push on into the close.
I’d also like to let you know about a webinar that we’ll be giving next week with Festival of Traders. I’ll be speaking with five other experts. If you’d like to register for that go to TraderShark.com, over here to the home tab. Next Live Webinar, click on that. It will take you over to the next exciting event – Festival of Traders. Scroll on down. Register Now. And then if you like we also have a live trading, a free trial in the Shark Den on Friday.
Look forward to seeing you all there. Have a great weekend everybody.

Good evening traders, this is Brian with TraderShark.com, an educational website to learn how to trade the emini S&P futures. Today is Tuesday, November 11, 2014. Happy Veteran’s Day to all you veterans out there and thank you for your service to our county.
I want you to notice the equities and the futures market was open today. Bonds were closed. Banks were closed. We were expecting low volume and relatively a choppy day. However, just remember this, slow and quiet equals bullish. And generally like to trade the first two hours of the day and the last half hour into the close expecting a push higher into the close.
Notice the note that I have right there on the screen. 9:25, today will tend to rise into the close on low volume. Slow and quiet equals bullish. Bullish bias into the close. And that’s exactly what we saw. You have to be able to weather these pullbacks. Each one of these pullbacks is yielding about 7 to 8 ticks.
With that being said, I’d like to remind everybody tomorrow we have a live webinar. Head on over to the website TraderShark.com. Go to the Home tab. When you click on the Home tab you see Next Live Webinar. From the Next Live Webinar I want you to go ahead and go down. And you can actually register tomorrow Wednesday, November 12th 4:15 to 5:00. It’s just kind of an introduction to the Shark Den. What to expect. Get used to some of the terminology.
After 4:00 there will also be a webinar special on Friday we’ll be having a live free trial into the room. Scroll down to the bottom of the first page. Right down where it says Free Trial. Click on that. Register. When you click on either one of those links it will take you over to the omNovia page. You have an opportunity to sign up for both introductory webinar as well as the one day free trial.
To learn more about these and more advanced trade setups, or to get copies of the Trader Shark trading manual, please visit TraderShark.com. Have a great evening and I’ll see you in the Shark Den in the morning.

Halloween Run Question – October 31, 2014
Good Evening Traders!
I hope you all are prepared for the Halloween holiday and that the rise into the close did not scare you.
I had a great question from a trader in the Shark Den. He asked, “Could you go over your last trade on Friday, I passed on it because of the Shark Line and Opening Range. Great Trade!!”
Remember what I said around 9:15 am EST. Slow and quiet equals bullish. Understand that slow scary choppy markets tend to mess with oscillating indicators inside the opening range. The drawn out choppy delay allows many oscillating indicators to angle down before a push higher. This is sometimes called a Short Cover Squeeze or a Piker’s Run. Many larger traders were home with families early on Halloween. This is just my opinion. The tendency is for lower volume markets to rise into the close to catch a lot of unsuspecting traders off guard. You can see this happen prior to 3 day weekends or other holidays. The rise into the close was also subject to the earlier news. Remember Chicago PMI at 9.45 am EST was much better than expected. The initial move was down which allows for price to materialize into the close with the intended news report. I hope that helps.

Good evening traders, this is Brian with TraderShark.com, an educational website to learn how to trade the emini S&P futures. Today is Tuesday, October 21st, 2014.
The market opened up here this morning at 1910.75. And we really didn’t have any room to move with these Shark bands being so tight. Once we broke out of our opening range, nice little pullback for a hook pattern for a continuation. T1 and T2 were hit very quickly here. The third contract, held on to it long enough, and then I had an indication that forced me out of my third position for a total of 13 ticks.
The second hook pattern occurred right here, a little bit after 10:00. After we came through our first reversal zone. There was no pullback deep enough for us to consider a reversal. Likelihood continuation higher. T1 and T2, got out at T2 mostly because we had another Shark band here. Once we broke through the Shark band for continuation. And there was no hook pattern set up here. Again, these are more aggressive trades. There wasn’t very many conservative trades today. Just mostly due to the backing and filing of price action.
I drew this little action, reaction continuation pattern. You’ve also heard this is called a 1, 2, 3 or an a, b, c continuation. And in this case it’s exactly what we saw. Found support again. Broke through the Shark band on this Shark band and T1 and T2 would have yielded 18 ticks. If you held on long enough for T3, the T3 actually materialized here at about 1:30 in the afternoon. But again, Shark band takes priority over a target level and I exited here at 27.50, that would be a total of 41 ticks on 1 trade.
