Trading Volitility Picks Up

Wednesday, October 26th, 2011

Today is Wednesday October 26, 2011 and will just post my trades from today, as I am taking a little road trip. You may want to see yesterdays posting as this early posting will jump over yesterdays.

Today, I could have used a little more patients as I have gotten used to quick finishes lately. Its not always going to work out that way, especially if one, (me) tries to rush it. I need to remember there is no hurry as that would have served me well today.

I had two early losses, followed by a small gain and yet another loss.  I almost gave it up for the day as I was at my loss limit for the session, but did give it one more entry after settling down and seeing the big picture. A sharp sell off and then a fast reversal back up, was on the menu and I did get it just right for an 8 S&P point gain at the top and last of my contracts.

I missed the big short just before this as I was getting out of a long, which was the wrong side of the market. It all worked out with daily trading goal in hand.

Getting ready for a road trip to San Francisco, 316 miles one way. I hope to trade tomorrow morning on my lap top for a few minutes, but I will have to wait and see.

Until then, good trading to all.

Market call still on course

Monday, October 24th, 2011

Today is Monday October 24th, 2011 and today, I will post Fridays trades and today’s trades below to start, with a few comments about the current rally.

First this is today’s trades below, with just under an hour of trading start to finish. The early morning hour had some good moves to it on the upside, as I came in as things were slowing down a bit. I tried to take what I could from the market and it worked out with 4 out of 5 positive trades for a pretty easy daily goal today.

On the one loss, I came in early and did not want to give the market more room and got stopped out -5 ticks.  I did re-enter at one tick better, for some gains, but was really just waiting for the long move which I saw was the bigger point trade. That proved to be right and so the days gains were in and time to go.

Friday, I had another daily trading goal met as well, but my first trades were off for no good reason other than it was just me who was off. I did come back with a few nice trades short but took me a little better than 2 hours. Unfortunately, I started late and was stuck with slow market action for a while and worked with what I had. Again, it turned out OK as shown in the screen shot below. If you click on the charts twice it will blow up for a full size view.

—————————————————————————————–

The market has continued to bring shock and amazement to Wall Street with continued gains into much higher levels. I had been calling for this rally to continue and it sure has all the way from the bottom.

Everyone was calling for a crash weeks ago, but I was not. I did say that we would be looking at these higher prices just before the bottom and just after the bottom of S&P 1075. Currently we are at low 1250’s and hit a first of two strong resistance area’s I recently called. Today’s move satisfies the first one and we will have to see if the upper one keeps going but it is there.  There is resistance, but the market is swallowing it up to only push higher. The next stiff resistance area the market may be drawing itself up to is the mid to upper S&P 1270’s and as high as 1280 itself. That is extreme but it can’t be overlooked. Under normal circumstances, a pull back from the current levels would normal and natural, so be aware of that. The price action will have to dictate from here.

The market and world is somewhat on the edge and it is not generally a happy time, but all we can do is take it one day at a time. Long term, all the refinancing in Europe and elsewhere is only prolonging the day of reckoning. I am a long term bear, but just not yet.

In 2012, I would expect highly volatile  market conditions as things churn. More to come on that in the months ahead.

That’s it for now, sometime this week, I will continue where I left off in discussing market psychology and the day trader, until then good trading to all.

Daily Trading Stop Out Point

Wednesday, October 19th, 2011

Today is Wednesday October 19th, 2011;  We saw selling pressure off the recent highs for a second time in two days, and may be a sign short term that we may be in order for a pull back and or pause.

The world is a crazy place right now with so much going on in Europe and uncertainty at every turn, one would wonder why the market would go up in the face of that kind of environment. For some, this is just a reaction rally in the context of a bear market and for others they don’t have a clue. There is still yet another group, those that are open minded to a bigger move in the works in the face of all this craziness. Which one is right? I am leaning on the upside and have been for three weeks now all before this move started. One day at a time.

As day traders, it really does not matter what direction the market goes, but it is a good exercise to take part in.

In today’s trading, I had a stop out day where I just stopped trading. I have a spot where I have to stop and stick with that because if I did not do well enough to hit my daily trading goal, then there is a problem. Usually the problem is with me and not the method or price action. Today it was me and that does happen. I do have some consolation in the fact that it was me but really I am way past that point now, because I have seen the trading method perform in hundreds of sessions with no disappointment. My trades below and then will continue below.

A little after 7 a.m. West Coast, there were three nice easy long trades that would have made things a little easier for me, but I can not complain. I have not had a stop out day in a long time. I did get caught in a bit of chop, but again, it is my responsibility to wait through that and take better trades and I did not. The kicker was my last trade which I just lost it. That told me very clearly, I was off today and my judgment can not be trusted a clear sign that I should stop.

So I roughly have a -4 S&P point deficit for today and that can be made up in another session where things are more in my advantage.

I often think, if I would get up and be ready for the open, I would have the time to scope out the bigger picture much better and have the read time I need to see where things are likely to be going for the session, but I rarely do it.

I start when I am up and awake enough to trade and that has been fine for a long long time. I have my own discipline issues to overcome and getting to sleep early is one of them. I don’t often do it as I just seem to be predisposed to staying up late. I often think what it would be like to live on the East Coast.

In order to really be alert enough for trading and doing all the morning tasks that need to be done before sitting down, I would have to get up around 5 a.m. to be ready for the open at 6:30. If turning in at 12 or 1 is routine, that is not likely to happen.

—————————————————————————————–

Yesterday I was quoting a writer for the early 1900’s James Allen. He is not a trader, but a famous writer. One of his writing’s “As a man Thinkith” has been the inspirations for many of the modern day motivators and life coaches. I quoted a couple of lines from his book yesterday and will continue with that where I left off…… I have done about 5 or 6 sessions now on this and you can look back to recent articles to see the others.

“Not what he wishes and prays for does a man get, but what he justly earns. His wishes and prayers are only gratified and answered when they harmonize with his thoughts and actions. In light of this truth, what then is the meaning of fighting against circumstances?  It means that a man is continually revolting against an effect without, while he is nourishing and preserving its cause in his heart. Men are willing to improve there circumstances but unwilling to improve themselves.”

This is a section I copied from yesterdays post which is from James Allen book and I will continue my comments below.

Our wishes and prayers will only come to pass when they are in line with our dominant thoughts and especially our action. You first need the thought to get the action, so both are needed to get the results. If we are not willing to do what is required of us as traders, what makes us think we deserve the rewards that we seek.

We will only get that which we earn and trading profits are earned just like any other job. It does not come easily as many may think, so you need to be protective, but at the same time don’t choke it to death. You need to relax and give yourself room, but again, don’t let yourself drown, because then you die.

This can summed up in trading discipline. Those that can exercise it, will be around for a long time, pulling resources out of the markets. Those that can’t, I don’t need to explain.

Again, this all starts with thought and the ability to follow the right thought. If you follow and take the easy thoughts, they will likely lead to astray. Trading and doing the right thing at the right time is not easy. Many see what the right thing is, but still have huge blockage to get it done. Why is it like that for traders more often than not?

The reason is they have no mental plan for how they will react to the wrong thoughts. The action is to see that you are being lead astray and stop it. Just stop. Don’t do it, that is the wrong easy trade. The right thing will be hard to do and you will be met with internal opposition. Are you prepared for that?

Succeeding is hard, failure is easy. So you now know you need to do the hard vs easy thing while trading. More to come tomorrow as I will try and get right into it.

Perfect Call on Gold & Silver Sell Off

Saturday, September 24th, 2011

Today is Friday September 23, 2011 and we saw the markets stabilize from the frenzied sell off of the last few days.

We never made it to the top of where I thought we might get to this round in the S&P (1245),  but that has a silver lining for the long term bulls.

Be sure to read at the bottom of this post my call on the Gold and Silver sell off made seven days ago, where I did get that one right, spot on.

Before, I start getting into the what is going on with the markets, I would like to recap my trading day first.

I took good method trades except for one that stands out. My third trade was a long and I had no business doing that, a small 5 tick loss, but other than that, the other two losses are just trading losses that happen. My second trade would have worked out OK with my 5 tick stop in place, but closed it out at -3 ticks before I saw prices go to where I thought it might, but that is OK with me as I had reasons for it.

I was really looking at that last trade, where prices really moved up. I could see this one coming as per the method with solid “trade to targets” along the way. I road out the smaller turning points and remained with the plan for that move. The 5 point trade with the first contract coming off, sure was nice to help take the pressure off for the pullback that followed. Adding on at the arrows would be aggressive, and I thought about it, but was happy enough with the slightly higher contract count from lower levels.

Seeing the last trade, with its “trade to targets” helped give me a very good day on the session, a good three times plus my daily trading goal overall.  This was one of those days that like to hit 2-3 times per month that is over and above the regular 3-4 point + daily trading goal that I regularly hit. In this market, it has been a higher overall point total for most days, but the market volatility is offering it, so we take what it offers with as little struggle as possible.

You can see that the trading indicators match up nicely with my entries when I do the right thing, but you can also see that when I don’t do the right thing, you can again spot it as it does not match the indicators.

I don’t trade off the indicators, if you can believe that, but the trading method apart from trading indicators will give me the exactly same spots for entry, but based on a totally different set of method conditions and rules.

Current members can testify that this is true, but I will add, that the indicators will confirm very nicely what we are trying to do, as time and time again, it just works.

The key is being able to trade the method by its set of straight forward rules and conditions.  I would think that it should not be that hard to pick up 3-4 points per session when you follow the trading method and in reality, it is not. The truth is as traders we need more than the ability to follow a trading method. We need to be able to execute it and keep our emotions in check.

Letting ourselves, defeat ourselves, is what happens so often in the trading world, that it is hard for many to admit it to others and more importantly themselves.

When you are able to admit this fact that you don’t know but are willing to learn by doing the hard work to find out how, first to trade a solid method that is consistent with the natural rhythm of the markets and then work on yourself to uncover the hidden weaknesses that we all tend to cover up. It is in exposing those weaknesses that we will get a real sense of progress, that will be lasting and not just a temporary surge of hope that is not founded upon anything of lasting substance.

Jumping around looking for the Holy Grail in trading is not going to be the answer. There are many good trading methods out there and some I am sure work well and there are some I am also sure that don’t.

The point is, if and I would say that one more time, “if”, you have a solid trading method that can deliver what you want out of the markets, then you really need to work on you, from a different standpoint, internally. That is where traders run off course.

I don’t have time in this post to go into those things that can be done to start that work, but I will likely in future posts. I know I have covered some of this in previous posts, but new perspectives, idea’s and skills are constantly being added into the mental side of trading for me and that always gets passed on down to members. So let me end this portion of my post as I can see I went down a totally different path from the start.

———————————————————————————————————————

The recent days sell off has a silver lining to it. We did come up short this go around in my last call for S&P1245, but did still go pretty far along that path. I can admit this last target wasn’t reached in the daily market, but the good part is, this sell off has flushed out a lot of the long term holders of the last couple months.

We have re-tested the lows and do expect the market to hold somewhat in this area to counter with a strong rally back up that will potentially take us to much higher levels than the 1245 number we never saw to this point.

Everyone has become very bearish on this market. There are many calling for a large continued drop below the 1000 mark on the S&P and I can see why, but it can not be that obvious for everyone to get that one right. There are numerous polls out that show the level of bullishness has dropped to extreme levels, especially with this latest drop. I cannot be apart of the “Herd” and agree with them at this time.

I am looking for support and a strong counter trend rally to start sometime this week for again, much higher levels than the 1245 mentioned, so that is the silver lining. I could be wrong so don’t take this as investment advise.

Currently, for Mondays session. I can see a 25 point move up within the first 90 minutes of trading. We could get that in the night session first, but I see a clear path of at least that amount.

Lastly, on September 14th, 7 trading sessions ago, I wrote in my blog that Gold and Silver was going to drop. I said then on Wednesday that by Friday and as soon as tomorrow, (Thursday) we were going to see a sharp fast sell-off in Gold, a minimum of $150 dollars per oz. Then the price was 1826 per oz and that would bring prices to a minimum of 1675 per oz.

Seven trading sessions later we saw NO higher prices and the drop did start on Thursday, the next day and 7 days later we stand at 1639 per oz. completing that call, currently a drop of 187 dollar per oz, over 10% and Silver did come along for the ride as mentioned. I see support in Silver coming in at 26.50 or so and feel that would be a great buying opportunity for a long term hold.

Currently Silver is $ 30 per oz, so we could see a little more to come for the metals and again, I think this will be a spot to pick some up for a long term hold, but that is just my opinion. This would be physical Silver and Gold for that matter. When Silver hits that 26.50 area, Gold will find its level of support at that same time. The target on Silver looks easier to call than the final support on Gold, so Silver will help find the timing and support of Gold, again all my own opinion and not a recommendation for others to buy or sell.

I went way over in this post, but there is a lot going on and lots to say. Lets give the markets some time to see how the next few moves will play out.

As day traders, the daily markets don’t really matter much, but its good to look at and follow for overall direction. I wish all my readers the very best. Feed back and comments are always welcomed. Vince

Short Term Rally Looses Momentum

Tuesday, August 16th, 2011

The short term rally losses its momentum of the last few sessions. The Dow index has put in an “inside day” with prices being contained inside yesterdays trading range. The S&P is hovering at the 1192 level and will have to change my call from yesterday. I think there is a chance we will go higher, but not before we go lower first.

The price level of 1140 to 1150 is a minimum area with the lower number more likely. It could take just one to two days before we see those levels again. In fact as mentioned yesterday, we did see a big drop that never came in the day session. The market traded down to around 1147 and then retreated back up before the regular trading hour began and that was on Friday, three days ago. We should see those levels and lower this time around, but that is all just my opinion.

After we move down, the chance for a big rally up through these recent levels is very strong. This is likely still all a short term reaction to the massive drop of the last few weeks. We will have to see how things shape up in the days ahead and I would like to see the new “Investors Intelligence” numbers coming out tomorrow. I will report any changes as soon as they are available.

In today’s trading, I had two trades I did not take profits on as I had over 2 points of profit that slipped away from me and turned into a loss. That is not usually how it goes, but it happened. I still did hit my daily trading goal with my last trade. There was still some good moves left in the falling market, but I was content to leave the fight.The trades and other potential trade area’s are marked in the screen shot below. Good Trading, until next time

Key Market News- A Must Read

Tuesday, August 2nd, 2011

The market first on Sunday night rallied substantially on the news of a deal, but with a early report out, ISM report, the market fell.  That is I believe, a reading for what future economic actively will look like in the months ahead and it has been showing signs of slowing. In fact the ISM report is a purchasing survey of the U.S. service economy.

The market is on the edge and getting closer to a cliff hanger. Much more selling and it will trigger massive orders. Today’s close will say a lot, as I am writing this an hour before the closing bell.

I hit better than double daily trading goal in yesterdays trading and a solid gains for today as well. Only 45 minutes of trading today, unlike several hours of trading yesterday. I had to hang around to recover from a few bad trades. You can see how it compares to the trading indicators and you will see the ones that don’t match. I hung in there for the move I was looking for and it showed up in a big way, as I pointed out to my members yesterday.

I will post my trades for yesterday and today below.

Yesterdays Trades;

Today’s Trades August 2nd;

=================================================================================

What came from the budget talks?  There sure was a lot of posturing going on.  It looked like someone was trying to sell something to America with all the build up and now it is clear once the dust settles. I won’t talk about it here, but for those who want more insight into this as it relates to our future as a nation and the trading markets indirectly, do a google search on “super congress” and read some of the articles. This clears up a lot as to why this time it was different as I wrote in my previous blogs. They needed the build up to create a sense of urgency so this could get put in place.

I saw something months ago back in April and it became more clear as things came down to the wire.

Make your move on the markets and take control of your future, this is the best medicine for the situation.

Trade well, trade committed.

Trading Discipline and Self Control- do you have it?

Saturday, April 16th, 2011

4-15-11;  Friday’s trading, was met with little struggle and little draw down after the entries. I only took three trades all gains and plenty for meeting my daily trading goal. I know I always repeat this, but it bears repeating. The trading indicators are not the trading method. There is a complete trading method built around price structure, a unique form of support and resistance and the use of momentum as it all relates to keeping draw downs small and getting the price to move out in my favor right after entry. The trading indicators I show here do very closely mimic or copy my trading method and I do find it very helpful at times to confirm what I am doing with the trading method.

It is still amazing to me that it all comes together the way it does and all I can say is that I am very thankful that I have come to learn all of this over my long trading career since the early 1980’s. I have seen a lot and have make every mistake know to man as it relates to trading, so I write and speak from experience and all I can say is that this stuff works, straight up. We are the ones at times that don’t work and that is where trading discipline and the controlling of our emotions is vital to our success. I will pick this up down below, so keep reading.

Friday’s trades below, which marks two weeks of daily gains in a row, and all of which is posted here daily for all to see.

Friday’s market was filled with good trading opportunities as we saw mostly upside buying pressure, to close on a positive note. We are likely to see a little more follow through come Monday’s market, but do believe that later in the week, we could see selling pressure come back in and take the market down to very key support at 1290 in the cash S&P. That is going to be a very important area. We may see one more bounce up off that area and that will tell us more of what the next move will be. Going forward just another move, if a bounce then comes back in off the 1290 area and then we break that, to the downside, that is going to be the turning point for a big sell off.

There is a lot of forward projecting here, but we first have to see how it shapes up. Recap; Monday’s early morning move to 1325-26 area, then bigger move back down during the week to 1290 area, then bounce up slightly off that and then we will see. A break of the 1290 area on a closing basis, is going to send the S&P into a sell off of a minimum of 100 S&P points or more in pretty quick fashion, 1290 to 1190 at a minimum with 1155 very reasonable as a destination area for that drop.

If the market holds the 1290 area and try’s to mount a continuation rally, we will just have to wait and see for that. With a massive shift in market sentiment, I am lead to believe that the break is going to take place and we are now only getting into position for a drop but I will update this as we go forward to confirm.  This is all my own opinion and not considered investment advise. Consult your own financial people before you make any trading decisions.

I look at market structure and that pretty much tells me, what is coming next. I have been doing this in small times frames with a great deal of accuracy and it is no different with large time frames. The stock market is fractal in nature and what that means is, that the same types of formations exist at all levels, whether it be in weekly charts, daily charts, hourly charts, minute charts or tick charts. Fractal, the same at all levels. The exact market flow exists at all these levels and is a reflection of the masses that drive them. Since people are basically the same in their make up, emotions of fear, greed, self-control and the lack of it, you can come to expect the same type of market behavior at every level.

Day Trading is achievable for those who want it, but there is a price to pay and that price is dedication, trading discipline and self control. If you don’t have those qualities, you can acquire them. I believe everyone has the ability to change. If you don’t see those qualities in your daily life in general, you won’t all of the sudden be able to muster them up when wanting to trade the markets, you will loose. On the other hand, if you have the dedication to learn a solid trading method and the discipline to stay close to it, followed by the self control to wait when you need to wait and pull the trigger when you are supposed to pull the trigger, you could do it.

Following our dreams is a great thing and I encourage everyone to do that, where ever they are at, but you need to be realistic and have a plan on how you are going to change and do what is expected of you to make any of this a reality.

Every trader starts out with the best intentions, but it is what we actually do that will make the difference, not what we want. You need a solid trading method to start. Then, you can start changing yourself and your attitudes to line up with success.

If you trade from a fear based approach, you won’t make it. You will sabotage yourself and your efforts for what seems like no apparent reason. Getting control of your emotions and removing trading fear to be replaced with confidence will take time. It is not going to happen overnight. If you expect that, you again will be disappointed. That is where dedication comes back in, trading dedication to the trading method that you are learning. Your confidence will grow as you see and experience market reactions being played out again and again. It is like exercising a muscle. The more you train, the bigger and more confident you become.

Give it some thought, if have a good trading method that works, then the only thing holding you back is yourself. Change that and you will change your trading destiny. Good Trading to all. Vince

Trade the Process, Day Trading Dreams & Money will follow

Saturday, March 19th, 2011

Today is Saturday, March 19th and this post is for Friday”s market when we saw the markets push up and move back towards the middle of the recent range. I believe there is more to go as we could easily see 15 S&P points more before the market has to make another directional decision.

In Friday’s S&P trading, there was a large jump with the market working back towards the trading gap most of the day.

In my personal trading, I did well, to finish out a five week long wining streak where I saw a minimum daily trading goal or better during that time. My trades for Friday are below.

These trades do not happen by accident or chance and or luck. There is no way someone could have 5 weeks of daily gains and there not be something to it, (all posted in my blogs). If you flipped a coin, how many times do you think you could guess the right side. That is chance, luck or gambling. You may not have any idea on what may turn up next with that model.

That is not the case here. This can be learned if one has the desire, passion and will to do so. That is the point of separation for many, as putting in the work, time and focus, for a greater purpose is what it is all about and the point where many give up trying.

When it gets tough, that is where and when you need to fight back, but not with force, but with precision  and purpose. If you know what you want and you have an idea on how to get it, but don’t have a plan or trading method to approach it, then you need help.

It is a hard thing to ask for help. I found that out for myself, but it took years and years to figure it out. I never bought a program, method, system or anything of the such in all my years pursuing my trading dreams and goals. If I had, I may have been able to speed the process up, but I might not be where I am today. I paid a large price for what I now know in the financial markets. It was not easy and when it got very difficult, I could have given up, but I did not.

I waited, when I needed to wait and re-challenged myself where I needed challenging, to find myself coming out the other side. I now see the light and it was worth it. I learned so much in all the years of pursuing my trading dreams. If I took the advise of others to give up and let it go, I would have never made it to where I am today.

I love what I do and I like helping others along the way. It is the best of both worlds. It brings a greater purpose other than just trading for myself and the money.

That brings me to a very big point and I will repeat it a couple of times to make sure everyone reading gets it. This is a big deal when it comes to overcoming the obstacles that traders face.

As traders, “you are in the market to make money, but you can not trade for the money”, did you get that. That might sound like a play on words, but it is very true. Most traders will only become profitable when they don’t need the money and when it is not the biggest issue in their life. Before that, you will have issues and challenges that you may not be able to face. That is, unless someone points them out and that is what I am trying to do here today.

If you are trading for the money, you will bring undue pressure and mind games upon yourself that are much more extreme. Don’t get me wrong, we all trade for the money and anyone who says different, is a liar. Sounds a little harsh, but I can’t apologize, because this is very important.

It is a bit of a dichotomy or paradox, in that, what you are doing is what you are doing, but if you are doing it for the purpose of the end result, money, then you will have bigger problems than someone who is not approaching it from that stand point.

When you chase something so hard, you rarely get it. Let me put it in a way that men can understand. Most traders are men, so I don’t think I am going to offend to many women.

If you are after a woman in a competitive environment, they can tend to sense that and resist the pursuit, but when you seem to be relaxed and portray confidence in who you are, you will attract them and they will come to you.

It is similar to trading in that way. If you pursue the money with a laser beam approach, you will not get it. You are focused on the wrong thing. You, as a day trader, need to focus on the process of doing the right things at the right time, and then the money will follow. You can not have the one you want first. It won’t work that way.

This is very subtle but it is very important and one reason so many struggle in ever finding the gold at the end of the rainbow. A lot of this has to do with the way you think and see things within your subconscious mind.

I know, this can start to get deep. In fact it can get so deep, that traders shy away from it, to the point of realizing the truths that I am writing about and thus, will never see their trading dreams.

So let me repeat the key statement in all of this. Traders are in the market to make money, “Yes”, but you can not trade for the money.

Think about what I said here today. It is deep, but this is the stuff that is hard. Can you face it and come out on top, if you can, then you can make it all the way. Give it some extra thought, good trading to all.

Daily Trading Goal Met

Thursday, March 3rd, 2011

3-3-11;   Today we saw the market continue to push up in last nights night trading session into the open where it hit the upper level of 1319 that I saw coming within the first push of the market. At the time the market was at 1308, but all a mute point. I did not trade it, I just called out what I saw coming with the context of the trading method.

We saw a whole lot more than those number when it was all said and done today.  Apparently, there was some good unemployment numbers that came out and gave Wall Street something to cheer about, today.  Tomorrow is another day.

In today’s trading, I did hit another daily trading goal although on the low side. I had a few losses and did have one very bad entry, but I was able to work it out. I saw the prospects of higher prices coming and totally jumped the gun. It resulted in a stop out, but had the opportunity I was looking for a few moments later. That entry was early as far as the trading indicators were concerned, but I was totally fine with it, as it was the right move.

I usually don’t stray to far from the indicators as show, but not for the reason of the trading indicator. I am not following the indicators, but the trading method, that is consistent with the indicators. It is really funny that it works out that way, because all the things that make up the trading method, they are not dependent on the indicators to give me the entry. Again, with that said, the trading indicators can help with timing and as we usually see a color change before the signal below. That can be a get ready clue, if the elements of the method are present.

With another daily trading goal met, I only have one day in the week left to make it another 5 or 5 for the week. If I keep my cool and only trade good method trades, I will see that, so let me marinate on that and see how tomorrow turns out. It will be short session for me, as trading time will be limited.

My trades for today below.  I have to cut my post short tonight, but wish you all very best.
