Markets bounce off 50% Fib. retracement from 1982 low

Tuesday, October 14th, 2008

The market bounced off the 50% retracement level from 1982 lows.  I posted a long term chart a few days ago showing this. Today was the largest one day gain ever.  Let me tell you, this was a short squeeze. People who are short stock and want it to go down, found themselves wrong and throwing in the towel as they had to buy back their short shares on the open market to get them out of their position and stop losing money.  

I would like to see a continued rally just like most everybody else, but as traders, it doesn’t really matter which way the market goes for us.  We go with the trend and ride the waves.  Our basic strategy just takes a little piece out of the market here and there to get our daily goal, but we have secret weapons that we bring out when the time is right.  

Below are a couple of charts that show the exact entries of our 1/2 point entries.  We just need to get close to these entries to get our targets because there is a lot of room in most of the trades. Tuesday’s market will have live video of some of my trades. I will show you live how quick and easy I pick up my daily goal.  It should happen in no more than 10 minutes, possibly only 5.  You watch and see.  I will do this on the open of trading day. I do it every day, with no problem. Confident but still humble and cautious.

Until tomorrow.

Equity Profit Graph for Trades October 8th

Thursday, October 9th, 2008

Below is the equity chart of the profit and losses for October 7th.  My method is consistent. It is up to me to be faithful and follow the rules. The rest is automatic.

I plan to post the trades I take up to the first 30-60 minutes I trade each day. There are a lot of people that do not like to do this, because it exposes them. Well, that is how we learn and also have the motivation to stick to the rules. This is also one of the reasons why I will be teaching my method to others. First, I like to teach, because it actually helps me become a better trader.  The methods need to be clear and simple to follow and they are. 

That does not mean the trading is simple. I can personally tell you, that if you do not respect it, you will get beat up. That being said, you should not fear it, but respect it and you will be OK. If you have someone to mentor you, it is a much faster learning curve. I never took any outside help while learning how to trade, other than my own experiences.  The long road I went down could have been a little smoother, if I had help, but I learned so much through the experiences.

One thing that I learned is that I am a scalper, by nature. I only like to be in the trade long enough to pick up a small profit, with the occasional “home run”.  My focus is then to have a high percentage of these to hit my goals for the day. 

Here is post below.
