E-mini S&P opened low (in fact, from 30-min chart, it was a gap down) and moved high, trying to fill the gap in the first 30 minutes. Volume passed the 6 bars test, a volatile day ahead. I don’t see strong momentum from the opening price action of E-mini Nasdaq, mini-sized Dow, E-mini S&P or […]

Postmortem 13-September-2006
Dear diary, What am I doing here? I am indeed having some bad days recently, both my personal life and trading. Both hit me hard , emotionally. Well, that’s not the point of this post. I was chopped out by E-mini Nasdaq today. And I missed out the trade of Dow mini. The problem here […]
Dummy day trading #26 13-September-2006: E-mini Nasdaq: Long trade closed
Right after oil inventory report was released, my buy stop for E-mini Nasdaq was triggered. The trade did not go in my favour. Stop loss was triggered with 1-R loss. Well, too bad. It seems to be a consolidation day after yesterday’s gain. But, who knows. Anyway, I will stop trading for the day. [photopress:emini_nasdaq_30min_trade_closed.jpg,full,centered] […]
Trading: 13-September-2006: Market Opening
We had 3-digit gain for Dow and above 40 points for Nasdaq yesterday, will there be some profit takings kick in today? No idea. We have oil inventory report at 1030 ET, this should provide some momentum to the market. Looking at volume and price action of E-mini S&P at the first 30 minutes, I […]
No trade: 13-September-2006 (AGAIN!?!?!)
Dear diary, Ah..it was a trending day! Great. Good thing: Not a single dummy setup in 30-min chart across E-mini S&P, E-mini Nasdaq, mini-size Dow, and even E-mini Ruselle 2000! before 12pm NY time. So, I was being disciplined, no setup, no trade. Bad thing: I didn’t make any money. Worst thing: I didn’t make […]
Trading: 12-September-2006: Market Opening
From first 6 5-minute bars of E-mini S&P, average volume exceeds 10k contracts. I am looking ahead a volatile, and hopefully, trending day. Three index futures (E-mini Nasdaq, mini-sized Dow, E-mini S&P) are moving up with E-mini S&P leads with a gap up. As at this point of time, I am looking for Long opportunities.
