Chaos Clinic Recap
Here are Al's comments
2:39 stopped again; done for the day; see you next week
2:19 now holding up to the close is looking less likey
1:59 sold 1359.25 stop 1361; turned down right on second trade time
1:58 6 point range today-a true MM stinker
1:52 covering for +1; do not like the stall here
1:46 still realy small candles
1:35 volatility picking up; looking OK; I have a Fractal Grid pattern (from CTME course) saying hold to close
1:23 I'm in the second trade window; I'll carry through if not stopped
1:19 stop to 1359, just under the 110 and break even
1:13 lots of 1 and 2 tick 3 minute candles; not good volatility
1:07 updated both my charts in the CCT room
1:00 today we have a Moon flux pinch and cross over. Just passed the crossover. Often this increases volatility
12:50 between 11:00 and 12:00 the 110 EXMA moved 1 point per hour. A really good move does 3 points per hour
12:43 stop to 1357.5; trailing by 3
12:37 a 9 point range up reaches 1364.25 ; 9 point range is common on slow days
12:35 back now. Trend now clearly up
12:06 taking a breakfast break
11:59 I'm pretty slow to wake up this morning
11:54 bought 1359 stop 1357
11:45 new highs, bullish for rest of day
11:40 aborted for -2.5
11:30 very dull
11:16 on any 2 day chart, we are looking a a pattern called "three drives to a top"
11:10 I have posted a Face of God chart in the CCT room
10:50 stop still OK; trade stuck in the mud for now
10:33 the EXMA's have gotten tangled; here I am relying more on pattern; I make the high to be the end of an up fractal
10:31 adjusting my stop to 1359.75, 1 point above the high
10:29 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.
10:17 the early range was 2.25. The rally could only expand it by a tick; the decline expanded it by 4 ticks; bearish
10:11 I expect a range of about 9 points, so possibly work down to about 1350
10:02 sold 1355.5 stop 1358.5; 20/110 crossing
10:00 aborted for -1.25
9:51 broke by only a tick
9:46 still OK-tested yesterday's high; if break, will trigger breakout buy programs
9:35 taking continuation buy at 957.25 stop 955
9:32 outcry session open-still just twitching
9:23 continuation buy set up; if get some juice after outcry open, may buy
9:14 prices squatting on the 110 EXMA, which is rising; watching for a buy setup, but waiting until after trade time
9:01 pre-outcry holding up; 440 EXMA on MTRainbow chart is up; looks like flat to up day
Trade times 09:54 and 13:43 ; first is 1 minute from Consumer Sentiment report at 9:55
9:00 Good morning from Chaos Manor

4/29/2011 6:15:14 AM MT Al****:: Thanks, MM. Camping is in question, but I'll see. I did have to cancel a trip to Vancouver and CA. So I'm pretty bummed about it. I can walk pretty good now but the joint slops around, causing pain. If I don't get it fixed, I'll have problems the rest of my life and arthritis will set in. As you know, this getting older is not for sissies.
4/29/2011 5:30:44 AM MT mm****:: Al - sorry to hear about your continuing leg problem - I hope the doctors can fix it for you before the camping season !
4/29/2011 5:28:45 AM MT mm****:: gm all - have a great day - the wedding is over - back to business!
9:00 Eastern-System: No comments
