The market is in a downtrend and today produced a red candle, but for most of the day it sure didn't feel like a down day. Price was up and down for about an hour, and then it took off on a bit of...

I really did think the market would get back to the level of Friday's close. It certainly seemed to try, but came up short. Price dropped in the last part of the day and made a new low close around...

Green Day; Discipline Green (+2)

A tough morning for me. Market down overnight, probably over concerns about Greece (as good an explanation as any I suppose). To be honest I was a little surprised by the down move. Friday had...

Green Day; Discipline Green (+3)

Only 1 trade this morning, a gap play. I did use expanded target and stop based on the 5 day ATR, so my win was bigger than my normal win. Yeterday's close was slightly above the central pivot...

Last few days have been quite interesting. Sunday's big drop down to the 2586 area was met by fairly steady buying throughout the night and into the Monday RTH. On the 4 hr chart price went up to...

Glad I chose to sit out today. The market traded the RTH above my bullish zone for the most part, and my plan does not have any trades either above the bullish zone or below the bearish zone. If...

Red Day; Discipline Red (-3)

How can you be so right, yet execute so poorly? The market gapped down at the open and I let it go for the first 15 minutes. It then showed 2 bullish 5 minute candles. Although not on my chart,...
