So-so day for me. 4 wins and 1 loss, so I’m pretty happy, but I missed the one good chance I had to make a lot of money.

Stopped the bleeding and at least won a little today.

… and I do mean a little!

Tuesday’s Trading

On my setup, despite all the chop, there were two big opportunities today. And, I wasn’t at my desk for either of them. Damn! I did pick up some crumbs here and there, for 1.5pts. I had no losses today, so it was just 3 tiny wins and 1 b/e.

They took a loss on a box play today in the eotpro.com live room this morning. I always feel terrible when that happens! Sorry! But it was some horrible sideways broadening chop action. I made a video about it to keep from falling asleep.

I wrote an article about the Box Play. It’s long-winded, but whatever. Decided to go for .pdf rather than make a long post here.

An Ode to the Box Play

Posted on October 18th, 2007

I had a pretty good day in futures, except for my EMD plays (3 stops in EMD, ouch!). I made winning trades on YM and ES, but not enough to finish positive for the day. Oh well… I don’t think they were too interesting or educational, so I thought I’d have more [...]

A Box Play Target Suggestion

Posted on June 2nd, 2007
Written by Richard

I was flipping through the June issue of TAoS&C at Borders tonight, and there’s an article about rectangle patterns. These are the daily chart equivalent of the box play. In it, a formula is given for selecting a price target. I’ve always just used the box height as the target, but this [...]

Box Play: GDP

As I pointed out on jaiku, a box play was forming on Goodrich Petroleum Corporation (NYSE: GDP) basically all day. It had a decent 20 cent target and healthy volume. If you can forgive one kind of loose touch, it actually had 6 touches to the boundaries before breaking out at the [...]

Two Trades on STX Tuesday

Posted on April 10th, 2007
Written by Richard

It was sloooow going today in the markets. At least, from my vantage point, anyway. The only thing I could find that seemed to have any force behind it was Seagate Technology (NYSE: STX). So, I traded it twice!
This is one of those rare days where I manage to trade both long [...]

Two Scalps on Schlumberger Limited (NYSE: SLB)

Posted on March 19th, 2007
Written by Richard

Yawn. Man, what a lackluster trading day. As the goddess pointed out, there really wasn’t a lot going on this morning. Right now, it looks like QQQQ is going to end the day with something like 70% of its normal volume.
Anyway, the only thing I really saw worth watching was SLB, but [...]
