Long @ 1370 target one 1380 target two 1399
STOPPED OUT @ 1373
I definitely was shaken out of this trade. I moved my stop too soon because I had to leave my trading room for a few minutes. I hope some of you were able to capture some of this move.

Currency Setups
After scanning all my charts,it looks to me like the best setups are in the currencies. I only want what the market is willing to give me. I will post some of the currency charts in the morning. Hope this helps
Gold Futures (GC)
Today's price action got within .10 of my second target. This is an interesting pattern that I will watch closely. Notice how the volume has decreased. If the price can break through the bottom trend line, the price should go to 1307 in a short length of time. If the price breaks the upper trend line then I will re-valuate. Hope this helps

Divergence Smoked
As I've been watching the $DJUSIT Transportation Index become disconnected with the equity markets, it just confirms that the markets and trading will never be the same again. There are more and more signs confirming how the markets have changed. The political intervention and the manipulation of institutional and electric trading only confirm the perversion that is taking place right under our noses. Look at this chart how it clearly was signalling a short setup prior to Friday's close, then in two days the price action completely reversed! Amazing... Maybe we're not watching buyer behavior anymore based off GREED AND FEAR? Maybe we're watching MANIPULATION based off GREED...

UUP
As I wrote on Feb 7th (see old posts), if the dollar can break above 78.34 and hold, this would be a way for those that don't trade futures to take advantage of a short rally for a quickie. Gaps fill most of the time. Look at the open interest for March and June call options versus puts. The stop would be @ 22.10, so this is a fairly low risk trade. Remember this is not a roman candle, you'll have to be patient. Hope this helps
LONG @ 22.58
GBP/CHF
If price can pull back to support (white line), could be a nice setup for a long entry. Hope this helps

I find it very interesting, that my losing trades are viewed the most. What's the message? What does that say about traders or people in general? I would like to hear any and all thoughts.

No Sense
The equity markets make no sense for now as they plod along. I'm focusing on other instruments to take what the market wants to give me. The currencies, commodities etc, look very good for intra-day trading opportunities. Tomorrow could be a wait and see attitude as the job numbers report on Friday. The Japanese Yen looks good for a long if it pulls back to the .1220 range (white line). The USD is showing signs of a potential rally and that could push the equity markets into a small pull back. I'm waiting to see how the NASDAQ reacts, since it looks the weakest of all. Gold is definitely headed for the1282 range and at that time I'll get long and try to capture as much of the move up to 1500 as possible. The T notes look they're getting ready to pop. Hope it helps
Long @ .1223
TEN YEAR NOTE FUTURES (ZN)
If this is a true break of the trend line, this would push my TBT long to target three @ 40.56... Hope some of you are on the TBT long. Hope it helps

TBT position
For those of you that are with me on the TBT long position, here's a monthly chart showing how bullish it is to this point. My target three is @ 40.56. If price can break 42.83 and hold, we could have a lot of fun all the way up to 50.91.... Hope it helps
GBP/USD
Bull Flag
I saw this pattern three days ago and forgot to post it. The reason I'm posting it now is strictly for the doubters that say technical trading on pattern recognition only isn't possible. I've posted pattern after pattern for months and months, so if you don't believe by now you never will. I hope my passion helps some of you to build your confidence to trade as you fight to defeat the BEAST! Hope it helpsI'm so simple.....
