Trading Blog |
Below is not your traditional trader's blog in the usual blog format.
However, you will find informative commentary on a few occasions as time
permits and such will
contain trading tips that should help your trading as I attempt to sum up my
thoughts for the trading day.

Rest and Relaxation
Profit/Loss
Statement
Oil, Gold and Treasury Yields helped me nail my first
trade of the day to give me enough confidence to carry it to the last trade
of the trading day.
Also, I expected some tight trading range after the
1030am est Natural Gas Report until FOMC policy meetings next week.
In addition, the Thursday and Friday of a Quadruple
Witching week tends to be less impressive in comparison to trading of Mon,
Tues and Weds.
Yet, there was a bullish pattern signal @ 2:26pm est
via the Trading Manual
that has also been discussed many times for the
STR users in the
#SwingTradingTSL strategy discussion room.
Unfortunately I wasn't at the computer at the time when
that profitable trade signal appeared.
Regardless, overall, I expect declining volatility
between now and next week's FOMC announcement.
Simply, this weekend will be a good time to catch up on some mental
rest and get some personal stuff done.
In fact, I got plenty of rest last night to help with
the mental game today because I haven't been sleeping too well the past few
days (sleep problems for the toddlers).

trading) shown above are that

As traders we must treat our trading like a
business if we are to succeed as traders and as a business. Therefore,
waiting till the last few weeks March to prepare for April's taxes is not
good for your trading and could put extra stress on your trading during tax
month or the months that follow if your one of those traders that filed an
extension.. Therefore, its best to be on top of your taxes throughout the
year and
Traders Accounting
is a great resource for such especially if you want to prevent penalties or

<RussellDaytrade> | Chilly, the volatility has compressed today. it has swung from expanded ranges, to tightened range, like most of today. your trading today maybe based in part on the level of volatility of the past several days. may involve either more patience, or some adjustments that help to coincide with the days character of trade. | 15:24 |
| being called away for a 'honey-do'. | 15:26 |

<RussellDaytrade> | JP, what indicators you have on your vwap chart. if memory serves, you use some deviation parameters? | 15:40 |
<jperl> | only thing I use is VWAP and its 1st 2nd and 3rd Standard Deviations | 15:41 |
<RussellDaytrade> | ok. will you let me know next time it trades at 2 deviations or beyond? | 15:43 |
<jperl> | sure....just remind me |
<RussellDaytrade> | as i recall, that S Dev varies depending on the ranges it trades. you know if the ranges within the S Dev's include prior days activities? | 15:44 |
<jperl> | I start the VWAP computation at the 9:30 EST open.... | 15:45 |
| so VWAP and StDev's includes only todays data |
<RussellDaytrade> | ok. in your experience, does it trade often, regulary, or frequently att he extrems of 2 SD or beyond? | 15:47 |
<jperl> | sure does |
| Here is what today's VWAP data looks like on a 2 minute chart |
| http://charts.dacharts.com/2007-03-15/JP ERL_019.png | 15:48 |
| blue line is VWAP |
| red green lines are 1st 2nd and 3rd StDev | 15:49 |
<RussellDaytrade> | wow, those SD's seem close in! i had thought they would be wider. thats a nice chart. | 15:53 |
<jperl> | they weren't very wide today |
| about 12 ticks |
| on a good day they can be 20 ticks or more | 15:54 |
<RussellDaytrade> | yeah, was wondering how they may have looked on some of the days with the highest volatility of the past week / half |
| musta hit 8 -9 SD levels, or something. |
<jperl> | no that never happens....max about 3 devs | 15:55 |
| you have to realize that the stdev is dynamic...changes with price action |
<RussellDaytrade> | even on a 3 plus pct day? or a day when it moves peak to trough or vice versa 3%? | 15:56 |
<jperl> | yes |
| it just means the stdevs are wider |
<RussellDaytrade> | wow. next time we getta day like that, i'd like to see a chart of it. | 15:57 |
<jperl> | how about yesterday? | 15:58 |
<RussellDaytrade> | yeah, that was a 20 pointer move trough to peak, including today, about 23 or so. | 15:59 |
<jperl> | here it is.... |
