Dear diary

I am ES only. EX was a compulsive gambler yesterday and escaped in good shape. That's not good.

The volume from Globex is higher than usual this morning. Strategy ADJUSTMENT TIME

the size of the 5 minute candles will be larger. larger stop loss and realize added risk factor More Globex=More Chicago. After the open keep track. watch for PATTERNS.

Recognize at points during the NY session like 11, 12, 1, 2, 3 est and are the expectations of volume there?

You know EX, that when the volume is up, or down because you are a momentum trader, that is so IMPORTANT. EX do you know what to expect on a normal day at, say, 11 AM est, the days volume of executed contracts. Yes I do.

Should I tell all my friends.

Of course, that's how it should be.

Trade smart and strike hard and be in no longer than 2 minutes per trade round turn; use a bracket and do not touch; ever.

Be a surgeon who is humble, kind and sharing; so important.

Great idea-

EX

currently listening to Meatloaf and the old favorites. Looks like a great calm day ahead. Don't get in your own way with EGO.

Dear diary DD

I am on my profitable plan.

The opening was stop clearing to the down side, outright abusive.

Thanks oracle for offering a start time of 1030 est. Going to trade now as per you.

You da man-

EX

It was a tough choppy opening and then draining. I knew to stay away and was able to.

Trades were 4/4 and plus $250.00 for 4, 5 contract trades.(fees for 20 round turns apply of course)

They all lasted 44 seconds. My goal is to be out of the market as much as possible.

God has blessed me with the weather and his grace. i would be a fool to reject His offer.

Trade well if you return EX or enjoy your day in peace and quiet.

I will. thanks oracle-

EX

DD-

Picked on the major news grab. It's was very risk/reward. Very risky for me. Around 4k margin, too narrow to play like that.

Neurologist this morning. No trading this afternoon if the volume is still busting. Too risky.

Look for a few if possible, small ones, after the opening, 1-3 tics only.

Not before 10 AM EST for 20 minutes only.. Don't give back this morning.

No greed = No fear. No fear, level headed decisions. Level headed decisions = Best chances.

Thanks DD

EX

PS Still love participating at that speed. Curious to see if a human cam beat IBM's Watson. Not this human. Have to call it guessing for now. Not enough samples to crunch.

DD-

Playing 5 contracts is causing too much excitement for me. I cannot afford to lose at that rate and have been fortunate.

Pulling back margin to $3000.00 and going 4 contracts maximum.

Overnight volume is slightly ahead but need to check back in the morning. Holidays can be difficult because of low volume.

Range is already spread apart.

Work on your mood. Little sleep this weekend.

Thanks diary-

EX

ENTER CONTEST FOR PRIZES

Columbus day-More retail volume and less institutional. Volume is higher. More volatile swings possible? Downside ahead? Protective stop losses.

DD-

One trade got away and went sour to $700 but turned into $200. I was originally looking for three. It was a bad play.

Lost one in 19 seconds. Completely wrong from the mouse click.

Others went according to plan and 40 contracts with one 4 contract trade.

Gross trade ahead $375.00 minus about $115.00 fees, so , $260 my end. I'll take it.

Tomorrow's margin is about $3250.00 and will cover maximum 4 contract trades.

Maximum trade loss is $1250.00, or margin account minus $2000(margin needed for a 4 contract play).

Good job diary-

EX

DD-

Volume and range from Globex are higher than the norm . Same as it has been. Heavy volatility and open up the stops or get stomped.

Unusually warm the next two days and maybe 80 degrees. Look to stop early and get out to the ocean.

Thanks Diary-

EX

DD-

Volume was faster than usual. Most accurate day ever. These days took me out in the past; so fast.

Have to watch order flow down to the current level on DOM inches from the 55" screen...

Ready for tomorrow.

Later Diary-

EX
