Two trades today. I missed the big move up this morning. I will put links to the charts later today. Chart 1 Took a long fter price failed to break prior low. Target set for a conservative 12571. Chart 2 Since price had a big move to 262% of initial range and had hit a big number (600) and had not closed above 600, I went short for a conservative target of a pullback to 38%.

Took 3 trades today and all were fib trades with conservative targets like prior high/low or 62% retrace, but no expansions. The days leading up to the fed meeting generally have tighter ranges. Hence a more conservative approach works better. See Today’s Results

Took 4 trades today. The first was a breakout for a conservative 9 pts. The second was a counter trend trade with a target of the magic 12520. I also reversed at this point for 12 pts (38 R/T). I took a second short from 12520 for another 7 pts. See Today’s Results

Two trades today. I forgot to setup the screen capture, so no screenshots. The first was a breakout of the day’s low with a target of the .62 fib projection. The second was a fib retrace with lots of confirmation. The target was a 100% fib expansion hedged with a fib projection. See Today’s Results

Four trades today. Still over trading and am premature on entries, but profitable anyway.YM 01/17/07This is a screen shot of the chart layout that I use. In the future, I will take a screen shot just as I enter a trade, so you can see what it looked like to me at the time of the trade.See Today’s Results
