| do you remember which month they went down hard? |
| like in 2007 right> | 10:23 |

<+T-stop> | KN do you use md to determine lvls or charts |
<+KN-ES> | well, i just watch the market and vol |
<+KN-ES> | you know the levels and vol when u keep see the price | 13:55 |
<+jsbach> | KN, my daily is showing 24.25 as target |
<+KN-ES> | Silo............urs one sucks.......need a better director.....u will loose the job quick |
| :) |
<+jsbach> | i guess monday's target |
<+KN-ES> | yes. |
<+silo> | huh? |
| my what | 13:56 |
<+szubaark_away> | Buys ES @ 1349.25 «« paper »» |
<+KN-ES> | 27.50 22.50 17.25 12.50 9.25 4.75 |
<+T-stop> | are those piviots |
<+KN-ES> | ur ones sell b1g1 |
<+T-stop> | or vol areas |
| or sr |
<+KN-ES> | silo.......just kidding | 13:57 |
| those are supports |
| 12.50 is a major support |
<+jsbach> | i expect price to pivot at 24.25 as a profit target for the short that i will enter on monday |
<+silo> | kn |
<+T-stop> | from matrix lvls or chart |
<+silo> | how are you using volume price to find those supports |
| just by looking at charts? |
<+jsbach> | but i am going to do more homework over the weekend, redraw my charts |
| give them a hair cut | 13:58 |
<+KN-ES> | its in my head.....i know where price had to struggle to move through and ofcourse the havily traded area |
<+T-stop> | k |
<+silo> | so you look for the areas where volume were the highest |
<+KN-ES> | yes |
<+silo> | k | 13:59 |
<+jsbach> | i do that also |
<+T-stop> | that 48.75 was perfect |
<+silo> | i hope this bounce dies soon |
<+szubaark_away> | Exited all Long ES at 1349.25 --> 0 «« paper »» |
<+jsbach> | i
like to draw fib levels from areas of high volume, and if those levels
agree with other levels that i get from drawing trend lines from places
of high volume, i look for probabilstic trades, so i also base some
analysis on places where volume is the highest | 14:00 |
<+KN-ES> | i just want the price to reach either 42.50 or 56.50 |
<+silo> | Shorts ER2 @ 724.90 -> Add «« paper »» |
<+jsbach> | also i like to look for agreeances between the daily and the hourly chart |
<+silo> | i like to look at boobies | 14:01 |
<+jsbach> | hehe |
<+silo> | and the boobies say down we go |
<+szubaark_away> | heheh |
<+silo> | after this bounce |
| :) |
| which is done |
| :) |
<+KN-ES> | Silo.......urs one are plat like a flat tire......need road side assitance |
<+silo> | i got triple As | 14:02 |
<+KN-ES> | so, tell me agin, if u r the guy who was the other guy....... |
<+silo> | bounce not done i see |
<+KN-ES> | just kidding.......going out of line...... |
| should change the topic | 14:03 |
| well, jsbach, i have never used fib levels |
| but interesting |
<+szubaark_away> | Buys ES @ 1350 «« paper »» |
| finding some support here | 14:04 |
<+KN-ES> | looks it has some valid arguments |
<+T-stop> | KN do emotions ever creep into your trading? | 14:05 |
| causing missed trades |
<+jsbach> | the fib levels are pretty neat, especially on daily |
<+KN-ES> | nop, once made my gf listen aerosmiths " whatever it takes to let u go"....... the rest is history |
| all the emotions are just gone.......after that |
| :) |
<+szubaark_away> | Exited all Long ES at 1347.75 --> - 2.25 «« paper »» | 14:06 |

<+szubaark_away> | Shorts ES @ 1347.75 «« paper »» |
<+silo> | it does the job |
<+T-stop> | hehe |
<+silo> | i have syringes all over the place |
<+KN-ES> | well, as i told b4..............all the analysis should be done b4 u enter the trade |
| once in u stick with ur analysis |
<+silo> | otherwise you're going to be swayed by every little tick | 14:07 |
<+T-stop> | stp or tgt |
<+KN-ES> | for me, if my analysis is wrong, i am ready to take the hit |
<+jsbach> | yes |
| same here |
<+KN-ES> | dont change my tgt or stp while i m in a trade |
<+jsbach> | if
my homework is wrong, then that's my bad, i must be using obsolete
trend lines or data that is irrelevant or doesn't matter anymore |
<+silo> | here comes the pain | 14:08 |
<+KN-ES> | i think, i moved stop loss further only 2 times this year |
| i hate to move my stops ....... really hate it |
<+jsbach> | so i try to keep my charts fresh, redrawing my hourly chart at least every day or two |
<+KN-ES> | :) |
<+T-stop> | k | 14:09 |
<+KN-ES> | i dont use charts, the only chart i have open now is a 1 min chart |
<+jsbach> | very interesting |
| i rely heavily upon charts |
<+KN-ES> | i use the chart only to exit the trade |
| so u use one hr and daily charts | 14:10 |
| ? |
| and want them to be in line right? |
<+jsbach> | yes |
| i like intersections of trend lines to congrue with fib levels | 14:11 |
<+KN-ES> | nice | 14:13 |
| makes sense |
<+jsbach> | yeah |
<+KN-ES> | lots of sense indeed |
| never thought that way |
<+jsbach> | works pretty decent |
<+KN-ES> | thanks for sharing, jsbach |

<+silo> | hmmm maybe i dont have that quote |
<+anglo> | it's today's biggest futures contract in the world | 15:11 |

<+KN-ES> | 134.86? |

<+KN-ES> | how much it cost for a contract, any idea? |

| 750k avg volume |
<+rep1acs> | strange...my platform shows only 200k+ |
<+anglo> | slow day today | 15:14 |
<+KN-ES> | let me chcek.......i can check in 4 platforms |
<+anglo> | $3,000 range on a slow day...lol |
<+KN-ES> | 250 k | 15:15 |
| in 3 of them |
<+rep1acs> | not that big range compared to dax.. |
<+anglo> | todays volume is abnormally low |
<+KN-ES> | looking at daily chart |
| IB and TS showing 287k | 15:16 |
<+anglo> | imo is faster than dax |
<+rep1acs> | true |
<+KN-ES> | yes | 15:17 |
| its easier compare to dax or es | 15:18 |
<+anglo> | if you can trade crude, everything else is a waste of time |
<+rickf> | imho crude and dax are pretty comprable |
<+KN-ES> | will try on monday, need some time with crude volume.........never tried crude b4 |

<ItalianSharp> | amazing day...big rally at the open...then brutal chop...then sudden drop...then another rally | 16:02 |
<+ItalianSharp> | funny how they waited the last 15min to rally |
| on a friday evening |
| :) |
* +rickf | set up for a big fall on monday after LEH reports | 16:03 |
<+szubaark_away> | Italian, what do you expect from the S&(*^% |
<+silo> | https://www.tradestation.com/Discussions /Topic.aspx?Topic_ID=77746 |
| this thing helped me out a bit today |
| take a look |
<+ItalianSharp> | no matter what they say, this market isnt that weak |
| today it could have tanked easily and yet someone was buying into the close | 16:04 |
| bear markets have sellers into teh close, not buyers |
<+anglo> | need a password silo | 16:05 |
<+rickf> | the market may not be weak (ie equities) but the economic news that moves the markets is horendous |
<+anglo> | copypaste it here please |
<+rickf> | yeah that's weird - is TS so 'elite' they need to pw-protect their discussion forum? | 16:06 |
<+ItalianSharp> | rick, what's the best time for big boys to buy if not on bad news? | 16:07 |
<+rickf> | :) |
<+ItalianSharp> | they sell good news and buy bad news |
<+KN-ES> | .TEST |
<+rickf> | i agree |
<+T-stop> | y |
<+KN-ES> | Exited all CL Long @ 1 --> - 1341.75 |
<+rickf> | was talking to my broker this morning |
<+KN-ES> | .END |
<+ItalianSharp> | reason why i quit interpreting news...i dont even wanna know whether they are good or bad |
<+rickf> | said this was the first time in a long time he "had no recommendations" for his clients | 16:08 |
| in terms of buying equities |
<+ItalianSharp> | then its time to buy |
<+silo> | let me post a picture of this tool i used today | 16:09 |
| http://img291.imageshack.us/my.php?image =premiumzc6.png | 16:10 |
| that's er2's chart |

<+silo> | 3min |
| i tried a few shorts today... but then i looked back and noticed the behavior | 16:11 |
| that there seemed to be support from buyers |
<+rickf> | what is that indicator/tool? |
<+silo> | shown by the green bars |
| it tracks the index premium |
| differences between futures and cash index | 16:12 |
| you see the semi big red bar inbetween the first 2 circles i made? |
| i tried trading that one |
| short |
| didn't work out |
| reversed long |
| and hten i realized that since the first circle | 16:13 |
| there seems to be more supports from buyers today |
| so after i reversed long after the second circle |
| i just basically left my long |
| then the third circle area showed up |
| as more buyers came in |
| the white lines i have on the indicators | 16:14 |
| those i put them in |
| i use the middle of hte trading day to give me an idea of the dryup level |
<+rickf> | is that something in tradestation, or some particular thing you scripted? |
<+silo> | so whenever the green/red bar goes above that level |
<+rickf> | interestinh |
<+silo> | i pay especial attentions to |
| it's for tradestation | 16:15 |
| i've been testing this indicator today and yesterday |
<+rickf> | can you post an pic of the es? |
<+silo> | that is the ES actually | 16:16 |
| my mistake |
| i have the premium for er2, nq as well |
<+rickf> | duh |
| lol |
<+silo> | but this es seems more responsive |
| probably because there's more volume there |
| so it shows better |
| of course it's just a tool for monitoring | 16:17 |
<+rickf> | interesting indicator to help keep you together |
<+silo> | not a tool to base trade entries on |
<+rickf> | yep |
<+silo> | needs further testing anyway |
| :) |
<anglo> | can you repost please? got disconnected |
<+rickf> | is amazing how many indicator/stechniques/methods there are | 16:18 |
| and how many folks can read different things into them | 16:19 |
<+silo> | haha yeah |
| i'll keep testing it |
| see if it's really worth looking at |
<+anglo> | can you repost the link silo please? | 16:21 |
<+silo> | http://img291.imageshack.us/my.php?image =premiumzc6.png | 16:23 |
<+rickf> | ok guys have a good night and weekend -- see you next week | 16:25 |
<+T-stop> | cya | 16:26 |
<+anglo> | thanks a lot silo | 16:31 |
| haf a nice wikend everyone |
