Markets are pretty dead with not much moving at the moment.
Gold/energy creeping up a little. May be a good day to cut out early....
TCK
ERX

Pot stalled at the top. Check out doji on 15 minute chart

And every single one of those high probability setups can fail just like that. Market fizzled with the shizzle. They all look to go the reverse direction now.
FAZ etc. they are all the same
Zion as well
Add this one to the previous post. All of these in strong trends, and hiotting new lows or highs.
Short FAZ
Some examples of high probability set ups
Short SKF
Long ERX
Long TNA
SKF FAZ minnows never took off
FAZ

Gold is falling back
ABX

Can SKF and FAZ be bottom fished? I'll bite...
SKF
FAZ
Gold rising may not be good the markets. GG ABX making new highs

AIG is rolling over
I'll take that big pop, take profits and trade them the other way. If its a pullback I've protected my profits, if its a direction change then I'm ahead of masses. Quick market action now so I won't be posting much until it slows...
TNA
FAZ
FAS
ERX
FAZ is cliff diving, making new lows, probability is to go lower
stopped out,took the loser in ERX short and long again
Taking profits in ERX and shorting it
Covered AIG as it flatlined.
AIG stalled when markets popping so I'll sell it and trade it short. Just goes to show that perfect setups can fail just as easily as a total dog. Strong uptrend, hitting new highs, markets poping what more could you want?I don't buy into the conventional wisdom of only waiting for "A" trades to come along.
many stocks hitting new daily highs at the moment. Momentum is up and probability favours long trades. Protect yourself from the unknown by placing a stop at the point your decision will be proven wrong. Then Sell or short them.

AIG was a very profitable trade on Friday. Today it shows same pattern.
I will endeavor to post charts showing my daily trading activities in as real time as possible. However when there are fast market conditions there will be several minutes delay while I sort out my positions, then get around to posting the changes here. I trade off 5 minute charts in conjunction with 15 min. charts and pay close attention to 5 min. charts of the S&P 500 and QQQQ.
