'Tis the season, so I want to wish all a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to come...  In general, I have found this period of trading futures to be much like that of the circumstances our Great Country, the USA, finds itself in--very trying.    On that front, I find myself very unhappy with the direction the country has taken, and ask myself, did we really need to stoop so deep into the muck of Orwellian deception to recognize it as such and still have time to pull up and out and back to our blessed roots?    I pray it's not too late...   I do humbly pray....

It's not that I prefer fighting the trend, it's just that when Persistent Trend formations are all you are offered, with shallow pullbacks, and repeated stretches past the Serial Sequent algorithm and the TrueTrend Momentum Indicator, opportunities for position entry are scant, and since I only trade the 1st Frame now, it's either I find some signals in that hour and half of the day's initial trading, or I close up empty handed altogether.   
 
But today, I knew better than to repeatedly throw money after weak reversal signals almost from the get go: I failed to take the first in-trend buy signal to participate in this Persistent bull in the very early going of the session.   I Goldie-Locked the call by demanding a few more points in the pullback, (as if the porridge wasn't already hot enough already) and instead of capturing a set of Longs to ride the trip up to new highs and beyond, I was left empty handed and felt compelled to take the only signals being subsequently offered.... weak short signals against a strong bull Persistent Trend.   I tried twice in these fading levels, and then decided to hold onto the nice profits I had made the previous day in the larger NQ contract, albeit by accident, and closed shop up for the day.

On three different trading days have I used the 10x larger NQ contract for my Nasdaq index signals instead of the Micro MNQ's.   On all three of those days, that proved to be a huge boon to daily profits...      but quite contrary to what this bit of false 'intelligence' might imply, there's the real shame in it.    I did it by accident.   I keep the NQ and MNQ in the same window, but separated into overlapping panes by the Tab allotment device of NinjaTrader 8.   ...a great feature, to be sure.   But the background colors of those two contracts are not set distinct enough, apparently, because I have grabbed the larger NQ contract with my mouse when taking signals without initially even noticing it on three different days.     
 
I try not to look at the dollar figure that prints into the Ninjatrader Control Window.   And with the 1ClickChartDOM, my trading app of choice, I set the P&L to show points only.  
 
And so, I have to count some blessings, it seems, on these three occasions, as at those particular times, I was not already digging myself into a losing hole with successive trade signals.    
  
Actually, in the days that have followed, the volatility has even gotten worse (or better, depending on your point of view), and I'm actually considering lowering my position size in the Micro's from 3 units to just 2.  .... that's how quickly losses can pile up.   
 
In your Trade Plan, adjustments to default position stop-loss amounts should be changed only after serious considerations, as the habit and tendency to change them on the fly can be great during the pressure of trying not to lose.    But perhaps it's time I take a look at going from 5pts for the Nasdaq to 7 or even 10, and adjust the position size in Micro contracts accordingly.

Having a successful week with several days of surprising profits tends to affect your psyche, and not usually to the better.  You just can't believe that the signals and trades you take on a following day won't have the same success and the same general results.    Granted, a Persistence in trend is difficult to trade, but nothing new to me.   And yet, I just couldn't believe that none of the signals I was taking wouldn't start the recovery rally.  
 
The whole time that self destructive thought about it being ok to keep throwing the weeks profits into each new losing trade kept creeping into my head...   and on and on did I trade disastrously.    
 
But it gets worse.  Nothing is more damaging mentally than giving back the profits of a successful entry.   But when you're digging yourself into a hole, you begin to justify over-staying your position past a normal development in structure with clearly adequate profits because now you really need the full trend reversal in order to make up for losses...     ...and in the vain hope that somehow a full retest of your entry will survive to get that complete reversal trend started, you give back the whole thing.    Thus, on two occasions during this day's trading did I let 40 point swing profits get stopped out at losses looking for just this kind of full trend reversal.
 
Have a Trade Plan.  Each day of that Plan should stand on its own.   On any given day, you don't break your trading frequency or loss allotment, no matter how well you did the day before or were doing the week of.    Pull in your purse, get up from the desk, and do something else with the rest of your day.

The volatility was so great around entry signals that staying in a position was almost impossible.  Twice I dug myself into a hole, only to get it all back when the new trend signal actually ensued.   Thus the use of micro contracts.   Keep the holes in your daily P&L as shallow as possible.   Trading in this environment is not for beginners...  and those of significant experience are being challenged too.

Serial Sequent Fractal Algorithm might be the most remarkable phenomenon ever uncovered in market price action.   But from a trader's perspective, it will always remain subordinate to Momentum and Day Model.   Relying on it as I do can put me into trades while the momentum of a liquidating 1st Frame Trend runs me over like a turtle crossing a busy highway--as it did yesterday.    
 
But when things calm down a bit, as it did today, it can allow some pretty precise position entries, and thereafter, you can rely on an old school price grid to guide you out at Pivot-Exhaustion targets.    
 
Have a Trade Plan.   If your trade plan does not provide you with a winning methodology on which to base your entries, than move on.   The methodology might not be worth the confidence and money you have invested in it.

One of the fastest, steepest 1st Frame liquidations I have ever seen.   The same entry model I took yesterday in the NQ, which netted over $5 bills, lost as much today, and more.   A classic Moving Average Pinch today in the Nasdaq futures accelerated the selling to a mini collapse... and a pattern I should know far too well to step so gingerly in front of....    and yet I did.   
 
Today's volatility was textbook for moving to the Micro contracts, so if you have not yet done so, I'd give it serious consideration.   We face a mix of year end selling and 'can't miss this rally panic buying.   Stay calm.   Stay light.   Survive to trade better days ahead.

Sometimes, like in monopoly, the bank makes a mistake in your favor.   And although there was no mistake in this initial trade call model that positioned me long in Nasdaq futures, I did make a mistake and execute the trade with 3 E-mini contracts instead of 3 Micro NQ's...    and give the extreme volatility in which we find ourselves, I wasted no time as it approached an almost immediate 10 point profit.    
 
Two years ago, taking a 3 contract E-mini NQ contract would have been quite normal.    But in this environment, I, like so many others, have taken to using multiple Micro's in order to lessen the risk.   And just so, has the volume of the Micro's now come to exceed the volume in the E-mini's...

"When you get out of sync, you tend to stay out of sync."  Was this a lesson that I've never learned?   It seems, at least, I've never well codified it.   As fading Russell futures into bull climax zones was disastrous yesterday, so fading Russell futures at any resistance area today was successful..     but not in my trading activity, for I was stuck doing today exactly what I mistakenly did yesterday, fading an explosive blow-off bull, except in the Nasdaq this time.  
 
However, at least this time, two exceptional top signals were clearly identified in the MNQ, for a total of some +200 MNQ points, and an additional retest signal, coming in as a Noon Hour High, for another +60 points....      and I still finished at break-even on the day.    Will try to shake it off for the last day of the week, tomorrow.  Good trading to all.....

Without doubt one of the worst Russell 2000 futures trading days I've ever had.  Even trading the Micro's losses can add up.   The blow-off rally of the M2K gave so many repeated climax signals, that I was sure it was finally done at each major juncture, only to be squeezed yet higher.      
 
The afternoon pullback leading up to the FOMC was also extreme.  And although it might be said to have the general characteristics of a Last Chance Texaco (a trading concept that has saved me many difficult days of stop-out volatility of late), the pre-Time Marker long entry model (2pm on this occasion) was fraught with whipsaws that shook be out too.   
 
For the most part, the other index sectors of the Nasqad, the S&P 500 and the Dow 30 did little in the First Frame, as the Russell performed its moon landing.   So the excuse that I was simply looking at the wrong contact during those disastrous First Frame trades cannot be applied.

Volatility is flame to the moth, and today, this moth was crushed by the extremes in both directions of Nasdaq swings, where both price and momentum targets are blown through like so much tissue paper..      
I was just a few dollars from maximum allowable daily loss when, upon coming back to the charts, a Noon hour low was crashing into yet another swing extreme...   only this time, with the time marker at my back, the long positions bounced back into the cup for a day-saving set of profits...    a classic Last Chance Texaco model entry. (see Pivots, Patterns and Intraday Swing Trades, for definition) 
 
I'm not proud of today's trading.    It would have been better justice to have simply left it alone and swallowed my losses for the fresh day ahead.     Have a profit goal as part of your trade plan.    But have a maximum allowable daily loss firmly in place.   These are the most volatile and widely swinging markets in stock market history.    Stay small, and stay out of the bomb craters left by these extremes in your trading account.

The 'Last Chance Texaco' trade comes on Persistent Trend Days, where little if any swing opportunities present themselves in the early going.   But if no correction to the trend has been made in the Midday Frame, chances are pretty high that one will come near or after the 2:30pm ET Transition Time Marker.  That opportunity presents itself often with a swift, sharp move that knifes into the 200 EMA.   And indeed, it often feels like you're trying to catch the proverbial falling knife.    The normal behavior is when the 200 acts like a trampoline and throws price back up through both MA's, and often on to a new price extreme.    It is usually best to exit as the new price extreme in the trend approaches, in case it doesn't make it.    
More examples of this can be seen in our trading manual Pivots, Patterns and Intraday Swing Trades, available online.

Few of the many stop-out trades I experienced in the early going of the 1st Frame were caused by being wrong about an impending reversal or signal zone.   But this is the frustration of trading extreme volatility and whippy action.   You can be clear about your trade plan signals, and still be missing entries on action that gets away from you, or stopped out by large tail whipping turns that don't accommodate even a reasonable stop loss distance.     
 
But towards the posted econ news schedule of 2pm ET, the recovery rally achieved what we call in the language of this fractal algorithm, the Third Substitute Sequent.  The news spike was so fast that I missed the spike altogether, and was only able to enter the trade by waiting for and end-of-bar entry technique, which only went against me a few points, before falling vertically down for some 75 points, of which I was able to catch little more than half, but enough to ease the pain of 1st Frame.

Trade action remains extremely volatile, producing big swoons from which fast reversals take place, only to come up shy of counter trend signals for the trip back into trend.    Traders seem nervous and at times almost desperate to avoid getting caught short, but resurface from most grinding new lows before any real trend following can be exercised.   Stay light, keep the losses small.   Good trading to all....
