The volatility that has so often frustrated contract positioning and signal clarity in this recent period of 1st Frame action has been so remarkably well counter-matched by afternoon Trade Concept fruition as to tempt giving up the 1st Frame altogether in favor of late MidDay Frame opportunities.   Today, a rare 5th Substitute Sequent signal in the MNQ (with only a bit of sloppy overage) provided such a clean and immediate payoff as to only have been in the position 4 minutes before minimum targets were attained, aka Trading the Curves.

The Persistent Trend Day Model is usually the most difficult of the 3 models to trade.   Pullbacks are shallow and swing turns very hard to find. And so, a series of stop-out losses can put you into a P&L deficit that will often be a challenge just to climb out of, relieved just to get back to even by the end of the frame.    
 
Without the Serial Sequent Fractal Algorithm, I would not have a chance to find even the most meager of trend exhaustion turns.   In lieu of having this great trading edge, here are some of the attributes to be on the lookout for when a Persistent Trend Day appears.   1.) The evening session high or low is taken out without much consequence.  Thereafter, this price extreme is broached again, but this time price keeps going.   2.)  Price extends beyond the 10:30am ET Trend Check, and keeps going.  3.) Typical extremes in momentum indicators are consequently overrun, then overrun again.... and then overrun again.   4. )  All your expectations of deeper pullbacks are disappointed as price continues to extend the trend.  5.) If a more complex correction to the trend has not started by the end of the 1st Frame, around 11:15amET, then watch for a blow-out going into extremes at or near the Noon Hour.  (Never take a breakout near the Noon Hour, as price nearly always fails thereafter.)  6.) A 'First Chance Texaco' will sometimes appear after the Noon Hour High pullback, or after a complex pullback that begins near the end of the First Frame.   That pullback opportunity will eventually extend the trend even further, but only after the painful loss of volatility that arrives in the MidDay Frame.  7.)  Somewhere late in the Midday Frame, or even right on top of the 2:30pmET Transition Time, a 'Last Chance Texaco' can appear in the form of a pullback to the 200 EMA.  This opportunity will often arrive as the proverbial falling knife on bull market days, or a short covering explosion spike on bear trending days.   
 
If trading on Persistent Trend Days were easy, every trader would be rich and no one would be poor.   Read about these, and other trade day concepts in the book Pivots, Patterns and Intraday Swing Trades, with links on the ValhallaFutures.com website.

If the 1st Trend tends to be false ("If they go up fast, they seldom last," as my mentor tried so often to remind me), then the 2nd Trend tends to be true.   That is why I try so aggressively to fade the 1st Trend.   Many students and most observers would interpret this as a stubborn determination to be a counter-trend trader.   But if the 1st Trend does tend to be false, and there are more such Test-n-Reject Day Models than Persistent Trend Day Models, then, in fact, fading the 1st Trend is IN trend, and often simply part of an extended pullback to the true underlying trend.   (For examples and definitions to these day models, see the workbook Pivots, Patterns and Intraday Swing Trades, with links to vendors online through the ValhallaFutures.com website.)
 
In truth, I have always found the identification of the true trend ('the trend is your friend', and other such commonly accepted trading axioms) to be academic, and even argumentative.   After all, isn't it always dependent upon time frame?  
 
So more to the point, how can you recognize that a budding swing reversal in the 1st Frame of the day is actually a 2nd trend and not just a pullback to the 1st?  Here are some items to look for:
The 1st Trend, especially if an uptrend, tends to 'swoon'.   And as part of this swoon seems to gather in momentum, gathering into a high volatility climax, characterized by bigger and bigger wave fractals.    It tends to blow through supposed resistances like the proverbial hot knife through butter.   
 
This does two important things to watch for, and leaves the majority of participants in the same condition.   First, they have losses to their trading day; not usually an easy thing to overcome.   And they face the rest of the frame in kind of a catch-up mode, just trying to break-even, which complicates future mistakes.  
 
And Second, it conditions their mind set into thinking the 1st Trend is the True Trend, and all price retracements are the needed potential pullbacks to get right with this now proven trend direction.   But take note of such days carefully.   Gauge this frame of mind as a strong warning alarm to caution.  "Nature loves to hide", noted Heraclitus.  And the more a recent action has demonstrated to you emotionally the direction of its intention--as only trade losses really can--the better disguised it is to proceed into a counter trend move luring you in as if just the pullback you need to get right on.   ...and just so do your losses then mount.    
 
..and you'd think someone with as much time in front of a trading screen as I have would be less likely to succumb to such traps.      And yet, there I was today, buying the MNQ pullback right into my grave, after being unable to secure a short near the high of the day after repeated attempts in 3 of 4 stock index contracts.    
 
For more psyche observations as to the mental landscape we all face when trading, consider the book True Self, available online, with links from the ValhallaFutures.com website.

With the volatility so exaggerated now in most 1st Frame sessions, I have been frustrated by all the stop-outs.   I continue to examine the proposed consequences to enlarging my stop-loss distance, only to come to the conclusion that I would only be creating bigger losses.  But on so many of these same days of 1st Frame difficulty, the Last Hour, especially near the 2:30pm ET Transition Time, there are been repeated entry opportunities, most often associated by the Exponential Moving Averages, we call, The Curves.    
 
You can read about these trades in the book which serves as our trading manual, Pivots, Patterns and Intraday Swing Trades, available in digital format online.

 "Trading is 90% mental," or so my mentor would often assert. "And the rest of it is in your head," would he always quickly add.    And just so today did my mental impatience build for buying a desired MNQ pullback during its initial trend higher, using my fractal algorithm as guide, until that prescribed pullback finally did appear.  ... but unfortunately, just when an 'old school' chart pattern, comprised of Pre-Break Pause Triggers broke down my appraised pullback opportunity into a total collapse in the opposite direction.   But so fixated on that pullback, I ignored the old school breakdown opportunity to go short with the break, and instead, repeatedly tried to catch the ensuing piano drop from its 4th story window, as my pullback landed square on my head.  OUCH.   Trend prejudice.  It's a killer.
 
Not until after taking a break to rest and restore myself from my anguish did I return just in time to witness the Noon Hour High, to find the allusive pullback opp I was looking for, but this time in the opposite direction, and took a nice 3-sets of 3 MNQ shorts.  
 
This time, ...but this time with all the required Technical Event components necessary for a Trade Entry present simultaneously appearing at the right edge of my video screen, including the algo Serial Sequent, the True Trend Momentum Indicator, the Grid (first return to the 200), and the blessed add-in Time Marker, the Noon Hour High.  ...thus, the justification for taking 3 sets of 3, and a nice wound healing for my otherwise miserable 1st Frame trade day.    (for an explanation of these concepts, see the book Pivots, Patterns and Intraday Swing Trades. )

I prefer not to return to trading in the PM, as the 1st Frame volatility tends to flesh out into Serial Sequent Fractal Algorithm signals much more clearly.    But not so the past two days, and in fact, quite a few days in recent months.   The idea would not to dig too much into a deficit as the 1st Frame comes to an end, so as to have a bit of room left in afternoon trading opportunities.     

And in a way that always astounds me, the way the Rule of Alternation plays itself out even in something like volatility and clarity between frames.   If the action is like liquid mercury in the morning, later in the day, climaxes will tend to be more decisive, and so my preferred entry technique of contra-climax stop-loss order entries get cleaner fills, and show profits quickly and cleanly as the market pulls back in.   

You can see much of this in action in a recent video, sponsored by Ninjatrader, or from a link on my website, ValhallaFutures.com:   Webinar 1

If the 1st Trend of the day tends to be false, then the 2nd Trend direction is more likely to be the true trend.   "The 2nd Trend is where the surprises hide."   Perhaps this, more than any other, is the most valuable lesson for 1st trend trades from the book Pivots, Patterns and Intraday Swing Trades, (available online).   Or in the more folksy terms my mentor from the New Orleans Cotton Exchange use to say, "When it goes down fast, it seldom lasts."  --Randolf Newman
 
So what happens to the trader when, reaching that 1st trend bear collapse buy-signal, he misses the entry, or in my case today, tightens his stop too much, and like Moses striking the rock an extra time in loss of faith, gets bumped from this important 1st trend direction fade just before the collapse reverses, and launches into the anticipated 2nd trend  advance?   He is left a bit miffed, frustrated, and even angry, and can be led into fading the more likely true 2nd trend into a further--and even more extensive--set of losses.   Thus was the unfortunate beginning to my trading this day, upon a Test-and-Reject day model outcome.     
 
But all is not lost on such days, whether on a Persistent Trend, or a Test-n-Reject that becomes persistent in behavior.    Because at some time in the Midday or Last Hour Frame, a phenom we call "Last Chance Texaco" often appears.   And both my afternoon trades, although they might have looked like proverbial 'piano drops' to the less familiar, were, in fact, based on this afternoon model pattern.   And today, did produce two very clean entries that I took without even a moment's threat to a tight initial stop.   
 
Read about this, and the general concept of Day Models in the book, Pivots, Patterns and Intraday Swing Trades, from Wiley Publishing, online.

Sometimes, it is evident when your level of concentration and effort is at least equal to or greater than the opposition the market itself brings to bear against a day's trading success.   In fact, today, the plethora of decent 1st frame trade entry opportunities only served to highlight my mental vacation more clearly.    Thus, I simply stepped aside, and when to an early coffee..    Some market days are better for trading than others...   some days a trader performs better than on other days.

Great fills when fading extremes often depend of sharp reversals 'sticking', and not ratcheting into a final climax.  But unless you have two items, it can be nearly impossible to take advantage of these volatility spikes.    First, you must be willing to buy in a falling market using a type of order, called a Buy-Stop, (Sell-Stop orders for shorting bull climax spikes).  And second, it can make this kind of order placement much easier with a tool like the 1ClickChartDOM.  You don't have time for drop-down menu's and adjustments of residing orders.   One click, immediate response.    Check out this tool and how it is used in a recent webinar, sponsored by NinjaTrader, here:   ValhallaFutures-Ninjatrader

For the third time in as many days, prices opened with an Opening Range Breakout pattern, another ORB Pennant, this one coming in the Nasdaq index contracts.   However, I missed it.   And with the whipsaw volatility, I would have been stopped out of it after its initial breakdown anyway.   ...and after that, looking for a first trade, I faded the plunge until I was down nearly 100 Micro contract 100 points in a succession of failed reversals.   
 
It wasn't until after prices finally made their 1st Frame low and rallied back to a 1st Chance Texaco at the 'Curb' (one of our Moving Averages) was I able to identify an in-trend short opportunity.    So glad to have flipped my losses into profits, of course, I exited too early.   
 
Trading is not easy.... even when your entry concepts remain valid throughout a plethora of market conditions.   ...you still have to survive a compromise stop-loss risk, and the disappointments of signals whose profits do not meet desired excursion.     
 
Trade with a Trade Plan.   Retain your discipline.   Don't trade outside it.    Your odds will thus improve.

Following on the heels of a 3 Bar at the ORB breakout model for the Nasdaq the other day, comes this ORB Pennant play for the S&P today.   And this one had the unusual characteristic of being a 4th Inside Bar pattern.    You can read about our Opening Range Breakout plays in the book Pivots, Patterns and Intraday Swing Trades, available online.
 
It's not the usual thing for me lately to take the first two trades without a stop-out or two in the 1st Frame, but today was just one of those days.    ...and so "I like my profits better" became the whisper thought as the 1st Frame came to a close after a few other trade signals became evident.

ValhallaFutures follows 3 Opening Range breakout trades, that have not appeared as often during these high volatility days than did before.   Perhaps because each consists of a specific kind of pause pattern that occurs within or near the ORB, that they fail to complete their respective trigger formations in an environment way too impatient to start immediately into early 1st Frame trends that prevent us from identifying trade entry requirements.
 
But today, in the MNQ, the 3-Bar at the ORB Aberration formed within its precise requirements, and broke out cleanly in the intended direction.   (...nevermind that I dumped this profitable opening position too early, satisfied with an exit as it closed the Gap.  
 
Those ORB breakout patterns can be studied in the book Pivots, Patterns and Intraday Swing Trades, available online.

My current Automated Trade Management Strategy target setting of +55.25 is strictly mechanical.   I actually moved the default target of my OCO order to approximately this number when I was still trading the larger, Emini sized NQ contract--just to get the target out of the way for manual management purposes.   

And then....  the volatility hit current extremes, and now I find that trading small lots of the Micro's might demand I move it again, as 50 point swings in the Nasdaq Index has almost become routine...     ...but staying in an initial position as price makes these extremely volatile, whipsawing turns is very challenging, and requires a good bit of tolerance for stop-outs...     who knew...

So called market technicians tend to rely on their indicators for trade signals until something in the news seems to cancel out the integrity and effectiveness of their signals.   This betrays two things.  First, it betrays something about that trader himself.  It reveals that the trader actually believes in Efficient Market Theory, and behaves in the market place based on that false underlying market premise.  That is, the trends of the market are ruled by the news and economic conditions.  "We have nothing else to learn from price", said Karl Marx.  Price, he concluded, was simply the sum total of everything that had been revealed in recent economic fundamentals up to that point. 

Second, it reveals that the technical methods used by that trader must be suspended during times of intense economic news exposure....because they simply can't be relied upon to reveal market trend, and therefore are deficient as elements of a successful trade plan. 

However, Adam Smith's 'invisible hand of Providence', as exposed by the fractal algorithm of Serial Sequent, not only survives market volatility, it seems all the more exposed because of it.     ....if you can survive the new volatility challenge that has accompanied the recent market topping area of extreme bifurcation and whipsawing turns....
