Not an official video, but really nicely done. Looks like it’s been around for a while, but it was new to me, so…

This morning I realized that today marks exactly 2 years since I walked out of my day job office for the last time. March 17th, 2006, I ventured into the world of full-time trading.
Don’t worry, this post isn’t going to be a trip down memory lane, and it’s definitely not going to be insightful. It’s just here to tell you why I’m not posting a video today… too busy celebrating. I didn’t even watch the markets.
I did make one quick trade, early on, for 1.5 pts, and then called it a day. I expected that the markets might be kinda messy after the BSC deal, but actually glancing at it as I write this, it looks fairly tradeable. Hope your day was good.

I will be booking time on one of these, soon, to try it out

if you take everyone but the owner guy out of the comic, it has a REALLY different tone.

I actually haven’t put on any trades today, and it’s 2:30 eastern time now. So, I may not trade today. Early in the day the volume and volatility was such that I did not trust my datafeed. Later, bush and bernanke were talking, and I got sidetracked in some other work. Now I just feel too lazy…
Anyway, here is why I don’t work in an office anymore. Too much danger that my face would move to my stomach.

Once the unbridled fear subsides, then we can get to the business of properly pricing various risks. We’re getting there. Slowly.

I had a decent day today, some wins and losses… came out ahead. In this video, I go over Barb’s Bars again to keep you all salivating. And, I go over a trade that I thought was particularly interesting. Hopefully it was as interesting to you as it was to me.

I only traded two hours today… I decided last night I wanted to go short in the first hour and long in the second hour, and then call it a day. And, that’s exactly what I did. Did I get all the potential profit out of this perfect plan? Not by a long shot, but with a little patience I got two excellent entries and grabbed enough points to be happy. For all the volume pouring into the market, I found today’s trades hard to manage, because they took their time finding their legs… a lot of narrow-range action before the real moves happened. But, no matter!
I tell you what, I am about ready to just trade those barb’s bars… it’s such an easy-going way to just kill the markets lately. You just have to accept a rather large initial stop. Still watching that.

I was only around for short stretches of time, but I more than made up my loss from yesterday. This video shows more of those “barb’s bars” entry signals… they still look pretty good.
I had a hard time with multicharts today… when I came back in the afternoon it crashed on startup. Then it crashed again on startup. Then I rebooted and it crashed on startup. Then it came up fine. Strange.
Some of you know I have been studying tarot recently… well I was browsing tarot youtube videos, and came across the ‘bunny boiler’… a british TV skit about a girl that tries to pick up men right in front of their girlfriends. I thought it was amusing… here’s the tarot one:
… and here’s another couple episodes where the guy doesn’t bite:
… and here’s one where the guy actually lets his girlfriend walk away. What a loser!

I discuss today’s trading, and prototype Barb’s Bars, and a version of market sync that only plots predict points (and can do so historically, so backtesting against predict points is possible).
Those barb’s bars look pretty freaking fantastic with mkt sync plugged in. I think so, anyway. I need to look at a bunch of data. I have so many things I want to do right now! There’s never enough time.
