one of my favorites, outside the NYSE, embraer was ringing the bell. i was on the floor and then up in the boardroom. amazing.

sick uptrend all day


































i was short BIDU and saw the market going up. i thought i would catch RIMM for a long, i guess i need to wait until the candle is done.
















i was calling this in realtime, short the 1055 doji, long the 1115 hammer, short the 1230 doji, but didn't do anything about it. didn't put the trades on. the best was teh 1230 doji, i said should we short this, and boom, pretty crazy then you would long the hammer and probably get stopped out if you held that long, and then buy the next hammer at 2pm. it's as easy as that. but right now, i can't trade it properly. lots of visualization this weekend to make sure i am trading these moves.
















DTF gorgeous mover. nice downtrend, retracment to the ema, ideal situation for me but the stop was pretty far away by the time the candle closed. i wait on this candle to form but i don't with RIMM, go figure.

















i was trying to play this stock with the market. obviously, it wasn't working. but i saw x and fcx both crumble. i think i realized, i need to have a basket of go to stocks, and was contemplating setting up a basket order. i have never had experience with them, but it would be nice to click one button, and get 100 shares of each other long or short.

so, lesson today. believe in yourself, believe you can do it. diversify, short x, short fcx, short bidu, long eev, spread the money out. today BIDU didn't budge, but the other stocks did.

lesson two: you can see from the FCN and OII charts, they didn't care what the market did. i think when i am playing the movers, i trade the pullbacks to the ema. when i am trading the q's, i trade x,fcx,eev,tna,vxx. don't base the trades for the movers on the q's. they are there identity.

mucho tired brothers and sisters. glad there is a long weekend. i have a drink for all of you.

a little gift. i realize some people might see the name and think i am egotistical calling myself the fozzking, but in reality this guy is the fozzking. in this photo, he coat is completely shaven because he had surgery in order to prolong his life by 6 months or so. can you see those big old paws, i love 'em.

Goody Goody (i don't know why this is underlined, and i can't make it stop)

















a shot from my old job working with the jets. pretty clever name for a private terminal.

so the idea here, is to figure out why AIG collapsed after the dojis and BIDU went up.




















earlier, i thought it was because AIG was in a downtrend from 11-1130, but really the most recent trend was up.



















BIDU for sure was in an uptrend preceding the dojis.

maybe the fact that BIDU broke previous highs, and AIG didn't.

Any thoughts?

i don't know what this stock is, didn't see it until the end of the day

















buying retracement
















first i was shorting that red candle. then i realized it was the exhaustion move down, decent volume. i went long on the next candle, late though, covered quickly. i would have been a nice hold. but V is a tough one for me to trade. when you get it right, it moves like a beast, but if you are on the wrong side, look out.
















what a close















saw end of day or when dtf pointed it out to me
















pretty much an inside choppy day. but i realized, as many traders are super negative, there is no reason to be. there is always money to be made. just find the right stock, the right entry and you are good to go. wait for the doji, relax, let the chart show you, don't force it
















first i shorted these dojis. then i covered and went long. closed as it pushed up. ideally, i should have waited until the candle closed to cover. again, an ideal short, it doesn't get much sweeter than that
















dtf showed me this monster. some nice entries to get short but also some entries after 2pm where i would have shorted and gotten stopped out

















i was watching BIDU as I was doing some marketing work. I was doing it because i made one good trade and didn't want to blow it. can you believe that? it has just been one losing trade after the next for me, so a couple days of seeing green is could for the mind. but you can see, excellent entries to short, cover, long, cover, shot, cover, long.....i should have traded it iinstead of just watching. now, tomorrow i will attempt to do this, and maybe it won't work. what i am trying to figure out though, is it not working because my mind isn't in the game or because the market isn't trading my style















wow, how far can a $13 stock fall, pretty freakin far, never have any expectations

i am realizing that i need to get my head around pushing the limits. i am so accustomed to stoping at +100, that is where i stop. i have been trying for the last few days, don't laugh now, but to visualize my ticker moving to 5000. now, normally, i would think 500 or 1000, but from some reading it said you really need to push the envelope here. i will concentrate on both. i am always thinking wow, that trade i could have made back all my losses. the reality is, if i just make $500 per day consistently, i will have all my losses back and then some.

also, i need to hit the "refresh" button every 5 minutes when i am trading. i need to look at the market with fresh eyes. if you are long, you are absorbing the market and looking for reasons for you to stay long. instead, i just need to say, what is it saying at this moment. i have to be in the present with no influences from my position. a hard thing to do. i also need to trade with a clock. i need to be the trade either 1/2 hour or have a reason for getting out, such as a doji. no bullshit exits. i am hammering this in my head by writing this hoping it helps, but it is really hard for me to do in actuality. time to make this work. it is the greatest job in the world, come on!

good luck tomorrow.

doji or 3 base-ing candles, sold as it came back down. should have bought again.


































more dojis than a man can ask for. at some point, too many dojis is too much.
















shorted doji
































bought highs
















brekaout no trade
















bought it first time around, tight stop. shorted on those dojis later on


















edz with eev
















nice chart after 2pm, no trade, on a conference call
















explosion in the mornign
















plenty of great short opporunities
















didn't see this until the end of the day. nice downtrend all day long



could it be this easy. just short dojis that show up after a run up, and buy dojis after a run down. possibly. i wish i wasn't on a conference call all afternoon. i am sure i would have made some trades but not held on to them, ha.

i had to turn off the trading room today. the lead guy was super negative because he lost 20k in the morning. one of the other traders said wow, look at this market, he said "what, what are you looking at, nothing is happening". oh was he wrong. there was alot happening on the downside. i don't like people hearing people who are negative. there is always a place to make money. i knew the money was on the downside, but the lead trader was so locked into his own view he couldn't see the forest from the trees.

overall, a good day. i will be concentrating on finding dojis tomorrow as well. will it work, who knows?

117/99 net

bought and sold 2x
































nice trend all day. i thought how far will it really go, wrong question to ask
































i had an order to buy at .46 at 11:38. i canceled it after the stock ran up to .90. it came back down and would have hit my order but not my stop. sabotage
















i didn't know what to do here. that little wick on the previous candle, i thought it was fake, so i turned my head to check the scanner again, and boom, the new 5 minute candle started and exploded. i tried buying it once up there, and then shorting it once. neither way worked.

















retracement to the EMA. collapses after the stop. nice
















i was trying to see if i could get a green bar in.
































buying after retrace from highs with tight stop. that hammer a few bars later would have been a nice spot to get involved again.


phew, mind boggling watching all that action today. there is definitely money to be made. i hate big gap days like that, but again, there is money to be made if you are patient. my brain was fried. i intended to go to the gym, but i sat on the couch to reflect on my trades, and next thing i knew it was an 1 1/2 later. i also have been focusing on upgrading the processor on my computer because my charts slow down when the market gets crazy but, in all honestly, it is probably just a distraction from my main problem, good entries. first, i need to focus on trading well, worry about the computer when i start making money.

burnt out, peace
