here's another handy gizmo on TOS. it's in the chat rooms section and it's a global news bot thing. gives me a fast "what's happening now" at a glance. very easy to see what's possibly moving a market.

5m chart after re-entry. yellow arrow was were my initial trade got stopped out while i was sleeping. i will be trading to the long side for whenever participants show up and try to push higher to either fill gap on daily or my derived long targets noted on prior post of daily chart. got a...

pre-mkt bias on VIX is slightly bullish.... "slightly"

stop plus a couple ticks got hit early this a.m. but another setup occurred so i'm back in @ 9138.50 news / reporting for today (economic calendar) and earnings.

there's a lot to overcome to get to those targets so i will just have to manage the trade best i can. anything can happen and there's a lot of fear in the market these daze.

here's a screen shot of a quad grid on TOS that has basically the same moving averages as the daily chart (standard stuff EMAs and SMA 200) and floor pivots. the time frames are 5,15, 30, and 60m. notice how they're flying in formation. for how long is anybody's guess but if there are enough...

FINALLY got a good pullback and am long 2 MNQ @ 9118.25. Trying something a little different with this one in that I'm trading off the daily but managing the trade on lower time-frame charts. The horizontal lines are near term support and resistance and the green and blue towards the top are...

took short on first pullback of this down move (to prior session low zone = orange line) for 120 ticks (1.5R).

denied! out @ 9583.50 for scratch plus a couple ticks. a good week with 91.67% wins and 5.31 profit factor. depending on where the close is today i may have an opportunity to enter on a longer term swing on daily time-frame at market open on Sunday.

settlement price is 9624.25 so it'll be interesting to see if that level is reached with me still in the trade.

if target is hit, that'll be it for the week and will end on high note. 15m 'til the open so i will have to exit before target if it isn't hit a few minutes before the open but so far it's still on.

back to the 15m and re-draw of some trend lines.

breaking down on 5m chart and moved stop to BE plus a few ticks. may end up a scratch but not a loser.

pre-mkt on a Friday. hmmmm potential 4+ R on this one (15m line chart) (risk $20)

it's NinjaTrader Brokerage and clearing is through Phillip Capital.

found out some good news today. i was wondering about some discrepancies between my NT platform reporting and brokerage. i had received brokerage templates which had my commissions set for .41/side for the micros (MES, MNQ, M2K). when i calculated based on brokerage statement it turns out the...

update on daily chart. the 61.8 extension was hit. now what!?

we're still the best looking horse at the glue factory.

very nice! btw, in case you forget what day of the week it is, you could populate your "B" column with auto text script =TEXT(C3,"ddd") and it will automatically fill the cell with date to day of week conversion from column C. i was working on some nested "if" statements at one point and...

after being on the road over weekend and getting back to headquarters (home) i've recovered from activities and started looking at markets again. posted this daily chart yesterday @ sstheo journal thread but thought i would put it here. 1st is the screen shot from yesterday and then another...
