Archived June 2004 Key Trades
Charts below reflect profit targets (PT's) based on Japanese Candlestick s/r levels. Profit targets suggest where the trader should have exited.
However, the trader's actual exit that's posted below in the commentary will not always be exact to the profit target (PT's) due to real trading conditions.
Simply, no matter how well the destination (exits) are mapped out...
The goal is to follow the trading plan outlined by the strategy as best as possible...the goal is not to be perfect because every experience trader knows that's not reality.
Remember this...if you are a struggling trader or a trader that wants to be more profitable...contact us about either IRC room mentioned below to help develop yourself into a consistent...profitable trader.
More importantly, we highly recommend you ask either NihabaAshi or any other #FuturesTrades member for help if your struggling trader not meeting your trading goals.

The entire month wasn't about trading. Instead, it was about preparing to move into the new house.
Therefore, the goal for the month was to complete the month with a minimum of 50 points and to have at least one trade that captured at least 75% of a big trend.
The above goals were accomplished and this particular trade was the key.
Traditional application of Japanese Candlesticks usually isn't reliable all by itself. However, if you understand Price Volume analysis or have access to some high probability candlestick patterns not found in any book...
One of the keys to profitable trading via Japanese Candlesticks is WRB's. Sometimes I call these wide range body candlesticks.
The 0945am est Consumer Sentiment and 10am est Existing Home Sales key economic reports produced enough volatility to setup a nice trade signal.
To fear volatility is to fear profits
Upon the completion of the 1025am est 5min interval...a WRB was formed so I decided to spy upon the 1min chart interval to look for any WRB divergence signals...
Such appeared at 1037am est (1min chart) along with the daily chart analysis at the end of the prior day showing resistance from a long upper shadow back in April...
Short Entry @ 1145.50
Lots of supply and not enough demand
In addition...after my entry and upon completion of the 5min chart interval at 1040am est...the Short position got an extra confirmation via the Gravestone Doji that signaled exhaustion (not enough buyers to push it higher above 1146.00).
For all that's said above about advanced Japanese Candlestick patterns...I have a well written trading plan and such isn't found in any Japanese Candlestick book.
Profit target 1 was reached easily...covering @ 1144.25
Early entry for profit target 2 with actually was reached until around 1145am est whereas I covered around 1111am est...covering @ 1143.75
After the poor management of pt2...pt3, pt4 and pt5 were via the trading plan...
Covering the remaining contracts @ 1143.00, 1141.00 and 1137.50
Here's something interesting about the last contract covering @ 1137.50
That was the fill of a Hidden GAP. If you don't understand what those are you are leaving profits on the table almost every trading day...

Many of these traders are either making a living in the markets via trading full time and others are just supplementing their incomes via trading part time.
There are others in the room as beginners or struggling just trying to grab a few trading tips from the veterans to help them turn the corner to profitability.
Last of all, there are a few in the realtime trade posting room that have exhausted their self-taught methodology without any success and are using the room to monitor NihabaAshi and other users of the fee-based strategies and free resources by TheStrategyLab.com to determine if such is what they need to get on the road to profits.
Sincerely,
