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.
