Good evening traders, this is Brian with TraderShark.com, an educational website to learn how to trade the emini S&P futures. Today is Monday, November 5th, 2012.
 
The market opened up this morning here at 1407 represented by this upper white dashed line. I want you to notice this pre-market action pretty much established a channel between yesterday’s low or Friday’s low. And once we had a little bit of a break below, we don’t trade the first 15 of the day from 9:30 to 9:45.
 
Once we had a break below Friday’s low, we had an opportunity for a long position here. In this particular case we set this up as a Shark Attack trade. The details in that are described in the Shark Den. And we quickly took a lot of heat. We actually have a 4 point stop on a Shark Attack trade. And as this thing materialized we were emphasizing no short positions at this point as we just kind of hovered around this 1405 level.
 
Then we had a nice little break above the 1405 level for a pullback. Finding support again. And if you did not get in on the Shark Attack trade here, did not weather any heat, you had an opportunity to get in here at about 10:30 for a potential long position. Now, this was held on with 2 contracts. The first contract went off at 3 points at 12 ticks. Second contract went off at 17 ticks.
 
This trade here was actually a trendline wave trade. And as the market continued to push higher target 1 and target 2 were hit. Plenty of opportunities. Here’s an auto wave trade long. If you took that you would have gotten about 10 ticks. I did not take this, that’s why it’s colored in yellow.
 
Another opportunity to get long. Hit our first target. We changed targets at 4 ticks and then actually did not materialize. Thought it was going to continue to run. Got stopped out over here for minus 4. Plus 4 minus 4 equals 0. And in this particular case, coming off of the highs there was a break of the moving average. Pullback. Nice opportunity. Auto wave for a short into the no trade zone.
 
From 11:30 until 1:15 Eastern Standard Time we do not trade just because of a lower volume and a higher volatility. Notice the pullback all the way back down to this 1405 level. Another opportunity to get in quickly after the no trade zone. Target 1 and target 2 were hit for a total of 10 ticks. If you held on longer, if you saw the materialization of an extended trade with a trailing stop. Some traders would have taken as many as 20 ticks on this particular trade. If you did not, all of the market internals were pointing up. We had another potential wave trade. Another potential wave trade. All these additional opportunities to get into a long position.
 
And then right into the close, another opportunity to get long right there into the close. And then notice the selloff. So, you know, why did this market stop here at 1411 to 1410. This was a Shark band, okay. You can’t see it on this particular screen, but we had a Shark band in the room. That’s why we scaled out.

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, November 2nd, 2012.
 
The market opened up this morning here at 1430.75 represented by this white dotted line. We had a couple of news reports this morning. Remained within consensus range. We don’t trade from 9:30 to 9:45 Eastern Standard Time primarily because we want to let the bulls and the bears determine what direction the market’s going to move this morning. Just a lot of volatility. We don’t want to trade in that.
 
Coming out of the no trade zone we had an opportunity to get short right here at about 9:56 or so. Had an opportunity to get short. The market quickly went against us. We exited early primarily due to the other market internal indicators that allowed us to do so. And I took a loss for 10 ticks on 2 contracts.
 
Notice how we continued to navigate below our moving average. We had another pullback. Nice clean entry for an opportunity to get short on an extended wave trade short for a total of 10 ticks on 1 trade over here. So we had 2 separate trades going on, a total of 4 contracts into this. Two contracts on the first trade, 2 contracts on the second trade. Second trade we had 10 ticks to 21 ticks for a third target contract target that materialized later on. Notice the pullback here. Did not take us out. Nice trailing stop. Target 3 was hit.
 
We then had another pullback. Nice opportunity to get short. Target 1 was hit. Got stopped out for minus 2 ticks. If nothing else, you can notice the sideways motion our indicators kept us flat. Going into the no trade zone over the lunch hour, 11:30 to 1:15 Eastern Standard Time. Coming out of the no trade zone notice how we continue the sideways movement. Had a little bit of a selloff. Pullback. Opportunity to get in. A little bit of pressure. Dropped down for a total of 14 ticks on 2 contracts.
 
We then felt like we were at a bottom here. We were hitting a Shark band. An opportunity to get long. Got our first target off. Got stopped out for minus 2 ticks. Going into the close another opportunity to get short. We did not go for our full targets. We were in the direction of the trend, just questioning whether we were going to go any further. Market internals got us out a little bit early. Total of 6 ticks on our final. Out for the rest of the day to end a great three day week.
 
And keep your thoughts and prayers still towards those involved in the Hurricane Sandy in the Northeast part of the United States.

Have a great weekend and we’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 and the Euro futures. Our thoughts and prayers still continue to go out to the victims of Hurricane Sandy in the northeast section of the United States. Obviously the market was closed down on Monday and Tuesday of this week.
 
Yesterday we monitored the markets, trading only 1 contract a few scalps, but for the most part it is very difficult for us to get a grasp as to the market, primarily due to the lack of numbers from Monday and Tuesday. With that being said today we had some good solid numbers. The market gapped up by over 8 points. And from that period the opening price here on November 1st, 2012 is 1410.25 represented by this white dotted line.
 
Now when we gap up by that many points we do what’s called a tidal wave trade. And we’re only trading with 1 contract. We are looking for reasons to get into a trade long. And in this particular case we don’t trade from 9:30 until 9:45. It’s a period of higher volatility and we wait for the market to set up in our favor once we get outside that no trade zone.
 
An opportunity to get long yielded 22 ticks on this particular trade here at about 9:46. Now as we scaled out or scaled in we added additional contracts. Up here at about a little after 10:00 we added one more contract for 12 ticks. And then another contract in here at around 10:11. Now some of our profit targets, each one of these trades we use 1 contract only. So if you traded more than 1 contract you obviously yield a little bit higher results.
 
Price action remained above the moving average and as a result we continued to watch minor pullbacks. And we then had an opportunity to get in short below the moving average right here at about 11:25 or so. Took a loss for 4 ticks on that particular trade. Again, only using 1 contact.
 
Coming out of the no trade zone from 11:30 to 1:15 Eastern Standard Time we had another opportunity to get short. I used 2 contracts on this particular trade with a target of 4 ticks. So we had a total of 8 ticks with 2 contracts. And then coming up through the moving average for a continuation to the downside based on our auto wave trade. Total of 6 ticks. Two ticks for 1 contract. 4 ticks for the other contract. And that was it for the day. We had no trades in the Euro this 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 Monday, October 22nd, 2012.
 
The market opened up this morning here at 1425.75. There’s a Shark band right there in the center. Our opening range we had about a 3.25 point opening range, which was narrow enough to think we were going to have some type of breakout one way or another. We had a little bit of a head fake to the downside. Worked its way back up into the opening range. Little bit of a head fake to the upside. No trades at this point. And right back into the opening range.
 
No trades all the way up until about 11:15 or so. We did have a nice hook pattern setup. An opportunity to get short. Target 1 and target 2 were hit. If you held on for the hook pattern target you were a little bit shy of getting that. Had to wait a little longer. And right into the no trade zone, about 2 hours into the no trade zone you would have gotten that pattern filled.
 
Another nice clean hook pattern. Again this occurred during the no trade zone for an opportunity to get short. We don’t trade during the no trade zones, but I want you to see the patterns anyways. Found support on the Shark band. Nice rebound off of the bottom. Break of a significant level. Shark Attack trade. Target 1 and target 2 hit. In this particular case I think I got in around 1422. I held this one on for a total of 3 points, 12 ticks.
 
And a special congratulations to Cliff. I think he, he beat me by almost doubling me today. He ran 6 points just on this one trade in itself. It was a fantastic into the close timeframe to trade. As a quick reminder, you know, your best time to trade is 9:30 to 11:30 Eastern Standard Time and then that last half hour into the close. Usually about 20 minutes from about 3:30 until about 3:50.

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, October 19, 2012. It’s also options expiration day and the 25th anniversary of the flash crash that occurred back in 1987. So we want to keep that in the back of our minds. It’s not too important at this point.
 
The market opened up at 1450 represented by this white dotted line. We don’t trade from 9:30 to 9:45, just a period of higher volatility. And we want to let the bulls and the bears determine what direction they’re going to push the market. We had a gradual selloff.
 
Coming out of the no trade zone the market kind of wrapped itself around our moving average. Didn’t really have any opportunities to get in. There was a nice opportunity, notice our wave trade indicator, double red dot popped in here. I did not get in on this one, so I waited for another healthier entry right there at about 10:46 for a short opportunity. And this one we hit our target 1, target 2, and I had a trailing stop in there. I had a trader in the room also held on for a total of 36 ticks just on this one trade. So 21 to 36 ticks depending on what stops or profit targets you used. Whether you used a trailing stop or whether you used fixed targets.
 
The market continued on the selloff. At this point we’re all watching all of our market internals. Sold off into the no trade zone. No further opportunities to get on. We look for a little bit of a pullback for a continuation. We don’t trade during the no trade zone from 11:30 until 1:15 Eastern Standard Time. Which you were when we finally got stopped out right here at about 1434.
 
Coming out of the no trade zone we had a nice little break through the moving average. Continued bearish pressure to the downside. An opportunity to get short. A total of 10 ticks there at about 1:45 Eastern Standard Time. Another opportunity to get in short. If you’re doing a trend trade you would have had a reduced risk stop out with minus 2 ticks. I did not get in on this one.
 
We look back as we continue on into the close. There was no other opportunities for us to really jump on this trend until getting into the close. Had an opportunity to get long right here at about 3:45. Target 1 was hit. We rode it all the way up. It would have hit target 2 except I had my target 2 up closer to around 1432. I missed it by 1 tick. Came back. Stopped me out for flat breakeven.
 
All in all it was a great day. Especially considering it’s an options expiration day and with the volatility we had to deal with.
