Thurs Mar 29 Whipsaw Trading

Sometimes, it's a real rodeo in the futures ring. Earliest signal today came in the NQ to sell short. But because my entries were a bit early, they were stopped out only to see the shorts pay off so well minutes later. Welcome to trading futures. Two good signals in the TF a short while later, however, and we were green again on the day.... Later in the day, as prices slowly recovered from the morning selling to a resistance zone, we took another short and got stopped out.

Mon, Mar 26 Gap Up

It is a popular thing in many trade rooms to fade gaps on various triggers sometime after the opening. This trader has never found that play consistent. In fact, the early attempts to closing the gap, if any, are usually opportunities to trade in the gap's direction. In fact, in today's market action, we called a buy in the TF just lower than price actually fell to initially, but were left unfilled before prices exploded back upward into the day's bull trend. This left us shorting the first full structured moves in the Dow and Russell mini futures for small, counter-trend gains. Other buy opps came later in the day after our more narrow 1st time frame trading window. Come join us in the free chat room to follow these trades as they are called.

Thurs Mar 22 Test-n-Reject

Serial Sequent Wave Method helped identify that the early trend up was faux and would be followed by an impulse move lower. That gave us our first shorts in the NQ. Stepping aside for the 10am Housing Report number was cautionary, but as it turned out, unnecessary. Two attempts after the initial breakdown to short the TF contract on bounces went unfilled, so we were left to selling into new lows. That worked once for a decent profit, but a 2nd time stopped out the shorts towards the end of the 1st time frame of the day. Come see our trades real time, and gain confidence in this remarkable Wave Methodology. Trade Summary
