11:40 this is going into the Tide time, so I need to be careful
11:38 taking 20/110 sell-sold 1215 stop 1218
11:31 EXMAs are flat
11:25 I'm back - got stopped out for -3 - stop may have been too close
11:10 stop is in-taking a breakfast break
11:03 I may have to wait a while before moving my stop
11:01 the 440 EXMA is flat; it has to turn up for a good trade
10:56 the trend is now more clearly up; my goal was to stay out of the correction and get in on the resumption of trend
10:52 technically, just outside the trade window, but low was in the trade window
10:48 OK, bought 1219 stop 1216
10:42 just about out of first trade window-may not be a trade here
10:40 looking bullish-20,55,and 110 EXMA's turning up together
10:38 on the 3 point quantums have a 12 point range and a 6 point recovery
10:36 when watching EXMA's, one has to judge how fluidly they are moving-here the 110 is down, but sluggish
thrusts have fluid moves, corrections have sluggish ones
10:39 still sitting-watching for a buy entry
10:38 posted a Face of God chart in the CCT Room; tells me the last low may hold
10:27 I know that after 11:00, a rally is likely, so I'm not willing to sell here
10:25 still chattering
10:18 still waiting and watching - want to stay out of this chop
10:15 trsding on the Sun +Ho90 and Moon +T180 electric field flux lines-see SPSunMoonMer chart
10:12 just watching
10:06 still trading near the 50% retrace level
10:04 leading economic indicators were much better than expected
10:02 at the trade time, but EXMA's are not clear, pattern looks bullish-waiting
9:58 the fractal pattern is bullish, so I'm watching for a recovery here; my first task each day is to find a fractal tha maks sens
9:55 I have placed a Fractal of Pi chart in the Certified Chaos Trader's Room. That room is open
to graduates of my 4 main courses. See http://moneytide.com -> Courses for details.
9:50 on any 2 day chart this looks like a move 2 of 7 in an up Chaos Clamshell
9:42 Friday mornings often have a "head fake" early move, so I'm watching to see if this is one of them
9:40 on the MTRAinbow chart the EXMA's have turned down-440 about flat; retrace of 50% of overnight move
9:26 this is a gap up day-normally makes a low near 11:00 then continues up
just one economic report today-leading indicators at 10:00
my own observation is that construction is picking up in Denver - last two months saw 6 new roofs in my
neighgborhood; and there are several new commercial construction projects in the area-first in several year
Colorado historically leads in a recovery
9:22 market up from yesterday's late low; two trades today at 10:00 and 12:06
9:00 Good morning from Chaos Manor

trades and tips. Below are the chat room comments from this clinic
11/18/2011 11:34:58 AM MT Al****:: same to you-snorkling sounds fun-enjoy
11/18/2011 11:31:15 AM MT TG****:: Thanks, Have a great Thanksgiving holiday. I'll be on some tropical island resort off the coast of Thailand snorkeling.
11/18/2011 11:25:38 AM MT Al****:: TG - by the hotline rules that 20/110 crossing would be ignored. The hotline rules do not necessarily catch all the good ones.
11/18/2011 11:16:37 AM MT TG****:: Al, if a really good looking 20/110 upside cross were to take place now would it be no good since more than an hour from last tide time. Spike low right on mid day tide time seems to indicate red tide.
11/18/2011 10:23:38 AM MT BBB****:: FWIW, I have kept a 9 EMA on all my charts and have found it to be a great tell on the 3 minute and the 1 minute whenever good trades set up. The small rally back up in the last few minutes has been stalled at the 9 EMA... something to maybe try out. It has helped me a ton.
11/18/2011 10:02:09 AM MT rsn:: Charts Frozen ..Not Updating
