Nothing much today except sitting around waiting for the Fed, and once we heard from them, the market took off without giving us a chance to take a position. |

COMMENTS:
It is always good to debrief yourself at the end of the trading day. Once the fog of trading has lifted, you can see things clearer. Take for example our first trade today. What was I thinking? The market had been moving up for almost 15 minutes before we hit the predicted reversal. All our predicted major reversals worked out like clockwork today.
Triangle #1 (ascending triangle) broke to the downside as we should have expected with the reversal shortly before 11:30.
By the time Channel #1 has formed, we should have expected a move lower outside the channel before a major move up. The reason to expect a drop is that we knew there was a low coming around 2:30, and it looked like wave 5 should form around the time. Normally we would have waited for 865 before going long here, but the handwriting was on the wall, so we got in at 863.

* I have a rule not to open a new trade after 15:45. Our last reversal was at 15:44. SPX was at 864, then moved down to 850 :-(
We had some major reversals sort of back-to-back. I think this prevented the market from moving significantly in any direction; although the last two reversal did have room to move, and move they did. I was too low on confidence to recommend taking a position. I wonder if I should recommend positions at all. Maybe I should just post as much information as possible, and let you do what you want with them. Wish I could get the chat room done so you could post your view of things. Will try to get it up as soon as possible.
Please give me feedback on the charts. Are they readable? Any suggestions? |

SUMMARY
TRADES: -3 0 +6 -3 +1 +1 = +2
We had some good reversal times, but the choppy market stopped us out a number of times. :-(
There was one great option play today, but I spent all my time viewing the 2-minute charts, and forgot to back off and keep an eye on the more traditional indicators.
Here are the traditional indicators that should have put us into the option trade:
1) There was a gap down at the open.
2) By 11:30 it was clear we were in a downward channel.
3) At 13:45 it was looking like a double bottom.
4) At 14:00 we were breaking out of the double bottom.
5) At 14:26 the reversal indicator said it was time to buy.
This should have been a buy signal for weekly options. The .RZBKF is selling around $1; later it went as high as $10.00 |
| 11/13/2008 |
SUMMARY
TRADES: +10 -3 +11 +8 -3 = +23
.RZBKH Could have been bought for $1.00 or less, and closed the day with a bid price of $4.30
An excellent day for the Trading Room.
While +23 points is great, there was a lot more money to be made here if your trading method was more sophisticated than mine.
The Trading Room is here to test the IRI's (Intraday Reversal Indicator) effectiveness, NOT Rob's trading strategy. So, gains or loss one may incur from my strategy as listed above in points gained does not paint an accurate picture of the IRI's effectiveness. I think the best thing to do is post a night chart with the reversal times mark.
Will try to get those up as soon as possible. |
| 11/12/2008 |
SUMMARY
Choppy morning with lots of reversals. Nearly all the reversals showed a CIT (Change In Trend) shortly before the reversal time, then we saw a continuation of the trend when the reversal time arrived.
I had to leave at 12:00, so I was not here for the rest of the day.
Two more RTs (Reversal Times) occurred this afternoon. One at 12:55 and the other at 14:30. The 12:55 reversal would have been hard to call because it had a CIT 15 minutes before. It could have gone either way, so it would not have been a play. The 14:30 would have been a play to the downside, and it did make a move of more than 10 points, but is looks like we would have been stopped out 20 minutes later. |
