Always try to curtail trading when losses reach about the same value as any single trading day profit goal. First Frame action without identifiable swing signals are the rarer of the day model profile. Swing day opportunities will return... when the market is ready to deliver them...

Each day is a new day. Each day is new birth. Each day is new blood. Don't take the baggage from the day before into this new trading frame. That day is tainted. A big successful day can taint the following day with over confidence and over trading. A hemorrhaged day can be followed by timid, late entries that make excessive demands on your psyche for 'confirmation'. Instead, try to start clean. The Trader has no memory. That's the Accountant's function. He remembers everything. He is the history of our regrets. The Analyst has no memory. He will over trade endlessly until at last one of his predictions actually works. Then he'll say, quite in earnest, "I told you so. The world should be listening to me." The Trader is, well, kinda stupid. He only knows what's in his Trade Plan. And if what happened yesterday didn't manage to creep into the laminated Trade Plan he has before him as the Opening Bell rings, he does the same thing he did yesterday, when presented with it, at the right edge of his video screen. He's Andy Warhol's famous quote, "I want to be a machine."

Nothing is worse for your psychology than to nearly make your daily profit goal in early trading, only to give it all away--and then some--trying to get reach it exactly. There is no rule in your trade plan called 'All Or Nothing'. It is easy to see in yourself as weakness a tendency to quit while ahead while still shy of that profit goal. And so, to combat that appraisal, you find your mental state as one of being willing to give it all back while to trying to reach it. That is a gamblers mentality. The accumulated profits don't matter if you don't have everything you want. Don't let the desire to get everything you wanted to push you into trading away everything you already have. You're not the gambler. You are the Trader. ...and the business of trading requires humility and acceptance of imperfection and even dissatisfaction in your efforts to achieve your daily frame goal. At such times, it is critically important to ACCEPT THE OUTCOME.

The secret to a consistent Trade Plan are its disparate technical event elements. It's never a matter of experienced intuition. Intuition, in the world of trading, is the dictionary definition of inconsistency. There is no guessing when following a good Trade Plan. Either the disparate technical pieces have all fallen into place, or they haven't. That doesn't mean your Event Concept Models work every time. It just means you take them whether when they all arrive in near simultaneous time. When the position fails, you accept your stop outs, and re-access if the model is still intact at a deeper level of price and at a further number along the Pivot-Exhaustion Grid. If so, that model is now even MORE likely to work than before where it stopped you out as the excursion continued. Therefore, the Martingale betting strategy adjusts your entry to increase the size--not an easy thing to do if you lose faith in your Entry Concept at its earlier stop-out.
Follow the Plan. It's far more likely to lead to consistency than your feelings. Feelings are like the fantasy concept of George Lucas' Star Wars 'the force'. And the best advice in the real world to have schooled the challenged Luke Skywalker was "Fade your feelings, Luke." Follow your principles. Feelings are lies about the real world, and just as in politics and ethics, arrive to induce you into a decision of comfort. Lies, of necessity, arrive as sugar. They always tell you to do what is easy, what is intellectual, and what seems logical in the false world of intellectual construct. Whereas, the truth tends to arrive at best as 'Plain Jane', and at worst as a bitter pill. And just so is it in trading. The best places to enter appear not because they are easy, but because they are hard.

There should be a limit to the number of trades you take per frame. Today, in the first frame, I far exceeded my 10 trade max. When the volatility appears, it draws you in....too often like the proverbial moth to flame. Today, the bounces were big enough at supports and Sequents to accommodate my video gaming impulses....but such capitulation to such behavior usually ends badly. Have goals in all aspects of trade management. a max loss per day or frame, a profit goal to help curb over-trading, a maximum losing trades in a row (with full stop-loss stop-outs), and a maximum number of total trades. You cannot control the market. You can only control yourself.

The classic H&S pattern gets its most references in textbooks to a reversal pattern. My experience is just the opposite. It works as an H&S only if the left most shoulder of the pattern holds as support/resistance against
any price threats of retesting the extreme price point at the head. If this left shoulder is broken in the attempt, as it was today in the RTY, then it becomes a much more effective presage of renewed price extremes than it does a as reversal pattern. Thus, the big tug-a-war between the ever bull NQ and the unusual sloth-like behavior in the RTY today was settled by the RTY's bear leadership, not the NQ bull. Check out the book Pivots, Patterns and Intraday Swing details for more details and examples of this H&S presage failure signal.

As traders, we tend to fall in love with our signalling minutia. We get down in the weeds of our numbers, our counts, our levels and our cross-overs. But Day Model supersedes all. And Test-n-Reject is the most common model among the three. It can be a beauty to behold, running below your boat like a Great White threatening to surface. It's simply ominous. Best when detected to simply your pull your tuna lines. What, you're going to try and hook a shark with a tuna line? ...good luck with that. Either climb on board its back and swim with it on ahead at bull speed, or step back and wait for a pullback you can sink your hooks into. At such times, break-out plays look genius.... at least for those of us dumb traders who can't wrap our heads around them so quickly as to recognize their potential in time... on days like this... when the undercurrent of a 2nd Trend Test-n-Reject model is lurking just under the surface of the murky waters beneath.

Last weeks action, though volatile, was nonetheless characterized with true signals. By that I mean, once a reversal action was in, the move stayed until resistance was hit in the opposite direction. Then you could either dump all units because even to the initial resistance was a big move, or you could partial out your position and risk the balance with a break-even stop loss. Today, on the way down, the action in the much desired NQ was stutter-step. That is, bounces off resistance at key Serial Sequent fractals went only far enough to give you false encouragement, then whip=lashed you into a stop-out in further trend extension. Was down my daily loss limit in NQ while up my daily goal in the RTY, so early going was just treading water. The key to getting back in after stop out is always the same. "Is the Trade Entry Technical Event Concept still intact?" (This model must include the Frame-of-Day criteria, as well as the Sequent fractal, of course). If yes, I re enter, if not, I wait until the next model asserts itself in further trend action. If the model is still intact, but price has extended the stretch, then consider the Martingale betting routine of re-entering with larger size than you got stopped out on.
Interestingly, Martingale works better in futures trading than on the gaming tables, where, for instance, a roulette wheel repeating the color red X times, still retains the same odds of 50/50, regardless of how big X actually is. There, it's just that it becomes unusual to extend X past some typical extension. But the stock futures market and a feature the roulette wheel does not have. It has ELASTICITY. That is, the players and their pursuit of entries and stop-outs put price extension into zones of exhaustion, and if the X on the roulette wheel could be affected by the number of players who bet against it as it continues to extend. On the table, of course, there is no such relationship between the number of players betting the likelihood of a change of color and the Pill's eventually land on the color wheel. But in the market, there IS such a relationship. Therefore, the Martingale scheme, which some say does increase your chances at Roulette and Black Jack, is truly meaningful in the markets.

Volatility is like a rubber band. The question is, when do you know that it's about to snap back? Our Trade Plan requires a combination of disparate technical event concepts to arrive simultaneously at the right edge of the video screen. ...but that doesn't always predict the extent of the exhaustion spike. When extending to such extremes, as did the post TrendCheck plummet, you must rely on the Trade Model still being intact before using a Martingale betting srategy of increasing size into extremes. Otherwise, you just add to the losses of your earlier stop-outs. Today was nearly ideal for that, as the plummet took place in an environment of increased volatility, but in so doing, set the stage for a powerful bounce-back. Thus the better than average profits. Stay alert. Stick to your plan. Plan for contingencies in market behavior.

The test of a methodology is it's behavior in both nornal markets and volatile, in both markets ingested with news, and on those days when even a minor economic report fails to appear on the report docket. Today, volatility was extreme. The Dow mini took 100 pt bounces in the early going like they were mere ticks. The NQ sported 100 pt moves like the weather was a calm Spring day. But Serial Sequent, the TTI Momentum Indicator and the Pivot Exhaustion Grid aligned into trade entry models like they would on any other day with less than 1/10th the volatility.....only you had to remember to pull your targets quickly, because the resulting swings were a lava flow of opportunity. ....and I left 4 times my daily goal on the table just getting out too soon....to just sit on my hands in the bleachers and watch the game unfold...

Volatility is your friend. ...if you are trained in handling poisonous snakes, that is. Stick your plan. The Technical Event Concepts for entering in a dull market are exactly the same as entering in a hot one. Only the wave action is much more likely to stop you out in the fast stuff. Reduce your size. Have all four major contracts out in front of you. Go where the signals are true and the leadership is consistent. This week, that's been all in the NQ. ...and that's a bit unusual, as the NQ can be a ton of irrational exuberance--in both directions. Go where the models fit your trade plan. Trade the plan not your prejudice.

The Martingale Betting System cannot be applied in random fashion in futures trading as merely a way to recover losses. It can only be applied when a valid Trade Entry Model has become even more likely to succeed when the elements of True Trend Momentum and successive price points in the Exhaustion Grid have been achieved. By the time both of those have added back to the Serial Sequent fractal signal, as was the case today in both the NQ and RTY, a series of losses might have already accrued. At such times, it's tough to take another trade--and taking that trade with twice the number of contracts than the earlier losing positions even harder. Make sure your Trade Plan of Entry Models is based on Technical Event Concepts that have long history of validation. Otherwise, such a betting plan as that of the Martingale System will simply bury you against any profits your plan may succeed in accruing later in the week. ...and all the best to you in the coming New Year...

You get what you deserve in the market place. It rewards good trading behavior, and punishes the bad. And it teaches you what good trading behavior is--all along the way of your personal market history observations--if only you will listen to it. One good reason for giving back those early 10 pts in NQ profits: I traded yesterday afternoon, outside the trade room, as I was in front of the screen trying work on some other projects. ...and I could do no wrong, it seemed. Made 7 bills on two clear short signals, and it apparently went right to my head. Because today, after recovering from some small early losses, I hit both RTY and NQ for some decent gains. ....and thought I could again do no wrong. Dumb. Took too many trades, traded outside my first frame parameters, and fought the obvious Persistent Trend Day Up model in NQ til I had blown the whole 10 pt NQ profit. This is a gambler's psychology, not a trader's. A Trader quits when goals and time period has arrived. A gambler doesn't quit until he's lost everything he's made....and more so. Learn to trade according to a strict Trade Plan that covers not only your Technical Event Concepts, but also your Behavior Governors. One without the other won't get you very far.

The most common of the 3 possible Day Models is Test-n-Reject. It occurs on some 80% of all trading days, and therefore increases the odds of success to positions if the Trader fades the 1st trend direction of the day. The 2nd Day Model is Persistent Trend Day. It starts off in one direction and goes....and goes....and goes. Sometimes it doesn't even give you the 1st Chance Texaco setup to gas up and get in sync with. On those days, breakouts pay the way to profits. But catching onto its presence within the early action of the 1st frame is not always an easy thing to I.D. But those most adept at flipping one's rally hat around and going with those breakouts are rewarding handsomely. The game is to partial out the position to pay for the potential break-out failure, and ride the 2nd with a trading stop or reasonable 2nd unit mechanical target. ..wait for a pause and the correctly Fractal Inflection Count, and do it all over again. Although that strategy is in my Trade Plan, I was just mentally unable to flip my hat around, and so achieved a days loss limits trying to find a significant turn. Be flexible and prepared for the surprising outcome. How do I know this is true? Because today, one of the members I was trading beside in the chat room, a student, with basically the same Trade Plan as mine, kept to his plan and took those Inflection Breakout signals that I was apparently unfit for emotionally to take myself. The consequence was that he ended up with the same numerical figure in profits for the day that I had in losses. What good is a plan if you don't trade it?
Your Trade Plan should include both the best models to fade the action as well to participate in action break-out. Especially in a bull market where a succession of lows have been taken out and popular opinion sees those broken lows as indicative of a budding bear. They are not. Broken lows are simply WorkDone, and position the market to rise on the back of shorts and long re-entries after stop-outs.

Is of interest to note that certain financial and political announcements are perceived by traders as news worthy and are taken with some apprehension, even if a calm eye eventually prevails. And yet the market unravels and regathers along the same rules it is governed by otherwise, albeit a far more exaggerated fashion. That's what trading futures is all about. It's market inefficiencies we make profits on. And Karl Marx remains proven wrong at the most casual of market examinations, just as Adam Smith's observations are proven right on any day you chose to look. And just so does the market remain in its eternal paradox. We have both much to learn from price (contrary to Marx), and yet it remains governed as if by the invisible finger of Providence (to the lasting impression of Smith). We call the 'invisible force' behind price fluctuation Serial Sequent Fractal Method, the quantum physics of price movement.
