Thursday 29th May 2014 NQ100 1 min chart review -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A similar day to yesterday. Not much easy trading to be had for me. We moved mostly around a mean in a tight range. If I cannot make money from these, I am happy...

Wedensday 28th May 2014 NQ100 1 min chart review -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- No big breakout today. We moved below the overnight lows in the morning and then into a downward channel. I took a few trades, and 1 out of 4 worked. As I write...

Wedensday 28th May 2014 NQ100 Market Preview -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- At this stage we are so close to the highs that I feel we should test them today. This is where it will be interesting to see if we get a fall at the highs, or if...

Tuesday 27th May 2014 NQ100 1 min chart review -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Today the general direction was up, but we didn't have many SLA entries. Overall it was fine, with no crazy chop. A day spent mostly watching rather than trading...

Tuesday 27th May 2014 NQ100 Market Preview -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Not much to add this morning. We have made it as far as 96 in the early morning and are coming closer to the next swing highs. The points that I will watch for are the...

Okay, markets closed for Memorial Day. I was unaware of this before the open. Peace to all, and see you tomorrow.

Monday 26th May 2014 NQ100 Market Preview -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- We have really taken off in our uptrend over the last week. We may even get parabolic this week. For sure, a further increase towards the March highs will get the...

Having reviewed the last week, and the posts by others I can see that to get this to the next level, I need to strike a balance between respecting the continuous nature of price, to allow for better entries on smaller timeframes, and to avoid overtrading by limiting the trades to the areas with...

Friday 23rd May 2014 NQ100 1 min chart review -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I didn't do much today. We kept within yesterday's limits, and I only made 2 failed shorts. Maybe too conservative. I will review the week over the weekend from a...

Friday 23rd May 2014 NQ100 Market Preview -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- We continued our rise yesterday and are not far below the next highs at 69. A move above this leads us to the next potential resistance at 700 and above. But we have...

Thursday 22nd May 2014 NQ100 1 min chart review -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Okay day today. I missed the trade back into the range after the open, but the rest of the day was good. I tried to keep to mainly SLA entries, although we had...

Thursday 22nd May 2014 NQ100 Market Preview --------------------------------------------------------- We have moved above the highs of 24 yesterday and the next highs would be at 58 and 69. We have retraced over 70% of the fall that we had in march and april now which should keep buyers...

Wedensday 21st May 2014 NQ100 1 min chart review -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Today the aim was to be calm, although I never aim to be stressed. We did test the previous highs of 624, but could not make a move past at the time of writing...

Wedensday 21st May 2014 NQ100 Market Preview After the morning hinge yesterday we tested the highs at 624, and failed, falling to 584 before recovering some of the fall before the close. Overnight we have settled close to the midpoint of the high and low of yesterdays action (604), and...

Tuesday 20th May 2014 NQ100 1 min chart review Today for a long while we revolved around a mean of about 607 which was our overnight low. I tried a few trades which didn't work out, and I eventually noticed that a basic day of plotting the lines and using SLA would have worked out better...

Tuesday 20th May 2014 NQ100 1 min chart review Price rose yesterday, but couldn't quite break the previous highs at 624. We did make it to 621 overnight, but we could not hold that level for more than a than 20 minutes or so. Since then we have tested the low mark of 607, which has held as...

Monday 19th May 2014 NQ100 1 min chart review This week I will try to improve the review to include what I am doing right and wrong in each trade, and where I can improve for the next days. Today we had a move from 570 up to 600 in the morning, but I could not capture much of it...

Monday 19th May 2014 NQ100 Market Preview We are still close to the mean of the long term daily hinge. The break upwards of last week could not hold past the highs around 618, and we returned to the mean. We are getting into a tight area now and traders will most likely make a descision...

Friday 16th May 2014 NQ100 1 min chart review One modest success and three scratches today. I stopped when I felt I was overtrading, and in the wrong area for trades. On days where we get endless trends, these entries can be home runs, but today they didn't work. Time to do some weekend...

Friday 16th May 2014 NQ100 Market Preview The last few days we have been stepping downwards, and yesterday we made it back down to 40 which is around the mean of the large daily hinge. We then retraced to 72 before the close of the day. Overnight we could not make it above 67, and in...
