By the way, if you like to read trader blogs or blogs about the markets...there's a good source of blogs at the below link.

Key news of the day

Commentary by M.A. Perry (a.k.a. NihabaAshi)
intradaystrategies@yahoo.com
Note: I'm currently exclusively trading the Russell 2000 Emini ER2 futures even though my strategies are applicable and profitable on all the trading instruments listed towards the bottom of this webpage along with my past trade journals showing consistent profits in other trading instruments prior to exclusively trading ER2.
Further, I can switch and trade any trading instrument that's listed below at the bottom of this webpage for any trader that request such mainly because I do a lot of intermarket analysis while trading ER2.
However, if you want to see up-to-date pattern signals in other trading instruments...click here.

<RussellDaytrade> I have two down targets, 830.4, and 827.4...the 830.4 is actually a modulated target derived from the primary target 827.4...my time estimate is for another couple hours hence...the time estimates on longer targets have wise variability 11:13

<markss> You are right Brutus, choppy day, good for running stops a bit later 12:54

<Fleneer> elephants gonna step on a few natives. 12:55

<markss> LOL 12:56

<Fleneer> ES Fibs 94.25 to 90.25 then .382 = 91.75. caught between that and the pivot. 12:57

<markss> in market profile terms the value area high of friday was 90.25/90.50 cant see exact number then with the PP at the same place we bounced off it up now a retest of it here 13:06

<Fleneer> yep been riding this range for almost an hour. 13:09

never short a dull market. seems I heard that somewhere.....

<markss> yes I would guess thats true Fleneer, but it seems like we should retest those number, if it can hold there are some very sweet stops to run to the upside here that the pit guys are drooling over 13:11

<Brutus> No trades this morning Niha?

<NihabaAshi> Covered 2/3 ER2 Short @ 830.70 --> + 0.6

<NihabaAshi> I got my first chance to look at the charts about 5mins ago.

Covered Remainder ER2 Short @ 829.80 --> + 1.5 13:53

I had a bizaare "market order" fill in that ER2 was at 832.00 when I click to Short at market 3 contracts. 13:54

It then ticked up quickly to 832.30 13:55

Suddenly it dropped and filled me in at 831.30,

Anyways, all part of the game :) 13:56

Traders Accounting
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 an audit several years from now.

<NihabaAshi> I just got a short signal in the exchange traded fund XLE 15:41

<markss> Good luck

<NihabaAshi> Shorts ER2 @ 831.90 -> small size 15:42

2 contracts only

Covered ER2 Short @ 831.50 --> + 0.4 15:46

I covered a little early before any WRB pt1 due to the fact I'm not as tuned into the market today after missing the entire morning trading action. 15:47

<markss> well you have made money today so good for you 15:48

<NihabaAshi> Yep even though I had that bad entry on my first trade by 7 - 10 ticks on a "market order".

:(

The Oil XLE produced a WRB pt2 level profit...currently it looks to go sideways after the drop. 15:59

Oil ETFs and indexes are now closed... 16:03

I will be watching closely for the next few trading days due to what's occurring in Nigeria and some upcoming OPEC stuff.

Take care all and see all tomorrow. 16:04
