    ES Journal - 2012

    I've redrawn the channel to better fit the price action. Also, notice that a bear trend line that began on Friday has been broken.

    ES Journal - 2012

    Given the recent BOJ announcement, my instincts say that we retest the top of this channel by the end of week, which means that we should get hit 1480 by then.

    ES Journal - 2012

    This reminds me of a statistic another trader once quoted. Back in 2008 I was working as a software development consultant and my client was a prop firm. My manager at the prop firm used to go to one particular trader there to get advice on market direction and how much he should be invested in...

    TA can't predict that a large order will be placed now and not in 15 min, 1 hour, etc

    GS massive score

    There are options offered at $.01. See the attached picture of the GS option chain. I don't know what the 150's were offered at this morning, but given that GS was trading below $139 and that this is the day before expiration, it is not improbable that the offer or maybe the bid was just $.01.

    From the New York Times: "LONDON — Alcohol-induced behavior has produced many unintended consequences, but pushing up the global price of oil and losing $10 million must rank among the most novel. Britain’s financial regulator disclosed on Tuesday that Steven Noel Perkins, a former oil...
