--------------------------------
March 9, 2010- Finally a little action, and we got our 2 and 4 points profit on "Chase The Trade." It could not have been more text book as the trade aligned perfectly to the course.
March 8, 2010- A short trade today, but really no action. Again a very tight and slow market. If you did stay in the market a small loss would have been the worst of it, but most traders did exit with 1 point profit or break even.
March 5, 2010- We did take profit on the long side but wow what a tight ranging market. Long on "Chase the Trade" was how we did it. Both 2 and 4 points were achieved and every got their profits today.
March 4, 2010- Our trade short just before noon was a good trade, but this tight ranging market kept us in way to long. An exit of at least 1point profit was really what anyone could have gotten out of this trade. 2points was 1tick shy.
March 3, 2010- We started the day off with a long trade that turned into a winner. At least 2 Points profit was made as the market made it's way up. The afternoon trade should not have been taken.
March 2, 2010- The market has been working in a really tight range lately, and today was no different. Our first trade short went for 2 point profit, some got it, others took less then 2points. The next trade Long just before Lunch time hit resistance and profit taking occurred. We did get the 2points profit, but wow what a long trade!
March 1, 2010- We took profit today at about 11 AM EST and an additional move at about 14:20 grabbed our 4 points. Great start for March!
February 26, 2010- When markets play this tight range game its best to stay on the side lines. After a few days of this back and forth I'm ready for some volatility. The first trade of the day went against us and the opportunity to go long entered into play. This trade tried to to higher an did, but not by much. What this means to me is that big money is on the side lines waiting to make their big moves very shortly - Be ready!
February 25, 2010- A long play today at the 1089 level which took us into profit only into the afternoon. Markets are ranging tightly then out of no-where a huge pop. At least 2 points on this trade profit taken if not more.
February 24, 2010 - Tough day to trade today as the market whipsawed down then up. First trade was stopped out and the second trade did not amount to anything.
February 23, 2010- Great short play today on Chase the trade. The reason why we keep our stops are because of days like today. Everyone should have made at least 2 points on this trade as the market dropped down even further.
February 22, 2010 - We took the market short, and 2 points was all we got out of this trade. the market tried about 8x to go lower, but could not. 2 points was all on this trade.
February 19, 2010 - Our first trade short did not follow through, and we reversed long at around 11:00AM EST as the rules are taught. This long trade took off and went above and beyond 4 Pts. profit to recover from the first trade.
February 18, 2010 - A long trade early in the morning caught this trade very nicely as the entire day was an up day. I only took 2 points but the market then jumped to hit 4 of profit.
February 17, 2010 - very tight range trading, and the market bounced back and forth with no commitment to either side. The short and long trade did not work out. After a day like this, expect price to break hard into one direction up or down.
February 16, 2010 - Ok, a nice winner on the long side at about 11:00AM EST. No excuses on this classic setup with everyone achieving at least 2-3 points. The 4 pointer made us wait made us wait, and came early in the afternoon.
February 15, 2010 - Holiday Trading, only half day market was open. Its best to stay away from days like these as i recommend. No Trading
February 12, 2010 - As the course dictates, we stay out of the market if the the trade does not setup in the morning session. No Trade today
February 11, 2010 - A bit of a volatile day, but we stayed in this trade according to the rules and both profit targets were made 2 and 4 points. We entered Long at about 10:30 AM EST and were finished before noon 12:00 PM EST.
February 10, 2010- Our first trade was not filled early morning. The next trade was Chase the trade which was filled and went against us on the long side. We then entered the market short at 11:40 AM EST for a maximum of 2 points recovery. The long trade in the afternoon was not taken. The last 2 days have been very volatile.
February 9, 2010 - Well after 11winning trades it was bound to happen. We were stopped out on the long side early morning and Chase the Trade never setup to go short. The next trade occurred on the long side again which was a winning trade about 12:00PM EST for 4 points. The Original short signal should not have been taken. I will post my screen shots on the forum.
February 8, 2010 - Very close trade at 12:00 PM EST. Noon. As you know the course teaches that we trade the morning session. Our trade setup occurred exactly at noon and yielded a nice 3 point winner. If you entered this trade then you made out, but if you stayed out, then you followed the rules.
February 5, 2010 - 10th Winner in a row. Yes today we took profits at just after 10:00AM EST. 2 Point Winner this morning. The market moved higher after 2 points, and then blasted down. We were correct on direction, but the swings up and down kept us form our 4 points winner. Ending the week with a winning trade everyday - Very Nice indeed.
February 4, 2010 - It's Only the 9th Winner in a row. - yes, believe it - The Traders using our methods have been on Fire. Today was a Sell order bright and early "Chase the Trade" setup was taken and the market just kept on rolling down. 2 and 4 points of profit were taken and those of you who emailed me and took more -Good Job!
February 3, 2010 - 8th Winner in a row. - I'll post a video shortly. We got our 2 points profit just after Lunch time, 12:00 PM EST. Price tried and tried to reach 4 points, but to no avail. The Atlas Line called some great shorts today in the E-mini. - JP
February 2, 2010 - 7th Winner in a row - this time on our Chase the Trade setup. Follow the rules as written in the course and everyone should have taken profit just before 1400 EST (2PM) If you are still in this trade as of right now, look to exit if price comes back to entry. -JP
We had a great month in January 2010 and what a way to start the Year!
January 29, 2010- 5th winner in a row, a nice long trade around the 10:00AM EST area. We have our stops and profits in place as soon as we are filled. All traders took profit - both 2 & 4 Points and done for the day as we like to be before Lunch time.
January 28, 2010- 4th winner in a row, this time it was using "Chase the Trade" taught in the course. both 2 and 4 Pts of Profit were made just after 11:00AM EST. and done for the day. January has been excellent so far for ATO and Atlas Line.
January 27, 2010- Another winning trade, 3rd in a row! Our Short setup occurred around the 1085.50 area good for a quick 2-3 points profit. The afternoon setup occurred to late in the day so I passed on it. I'm also presenting 2 webinars today.
January 26, 2010- What a great setup today - Long at our exact price entry, and straight up price went to fill us on both profit targets 2&4. At around 11:30 AM EST we entered the market, and out with profit by 11:45AM EST. Some of you I know like to trail stops, so you made out better then 4Pts. Sometimes price takes a little time to fill our profits, but today it was an exact science.
January 25, 2010- A nice Short winner with very little heat occurred just after 10:00Am EST and allowed us to grab both 2&4 Points before noon. A great way to start the week.
January 22, 2010- Ouch! Can you believe it. Getting stopped out to the exact tick on our first trade Short. We were right in the direction, but the market just pulled back a little to much. Re-Entering short in the afternoon and taking profits according to our rules yielded us a break even day or at worse a small loss to end the day.
January 21, 2010- 5th winner in a row and going short on our Chase the Trade Setup yielded all profit targets getting filled just before noon.
January 20, 2010-4th Winning trade in a row - Short entry given just after 10:00Am EST and our profit objective was hit before noon. The market moved over 4+ Points in our direction.
January 19, 2010 - 3rd winning trade in a row. - Chase the Trade Setup came into play as we entered long this market and took both 2&4 Point profit targets. The market continued higher but 4 Pts was our goal.
January 18, 2010 - Half Day Trading -No Trade Setup.
January 15, 2010- Short winning trade. a classic Short "ATO Trade occurred early on in the morning and never looked back as the market gave us all our profit targets.
January 14, 2010- Long signal at around the 1143 area was where we entered and the market moved higher all day long and allowed us to take profit.
January 13, 2010- We had a short trade early on that we exited and quickly reversed to long just after 12:00PM EST. The long trade was the correct one to go with and the market rose nearly 10 Points.
January 12, 2010-Our first trade long occurred just after 10:00Am EST and did not go much higher. Our second trade short also failed to produce and valid winner where only 1.5 Points of profit was made in our direction, not 2.
January 11, 2010- Our course teaches the "ATO" method, and today the "ATO" was on the correct side of the market and selling short gave us a 4 Pt Winner.
January 8, 2010 - A nice winning trade 4+ Points was possible entering at the 1136 area and riding the surge higher. This was the only trade of the day.
January 7, 2010- Once again we have an instance of a short trade occurring first, then reversing to a long trade. 4pts made on the second trade.
January 6, 2010- Today our Long entry came early in the morning bringing 2+ Pts Profit fairly quickly. A Classic ATO trade.
January 5, 2010 - We went short on our first trade, but quickly reversed to long at about 10:30 AM EST. The day traded in a tight range and amounted to a small loss.
January 4, 2010 - We started the year off with a winning trade long. 2 Points were made on the long side using our Chase the trade.
-----------------------------------------
We advise not trading the last week of the Year, and ending 2009 On a positive note. Looking forward to 2010! Happy New Year.
December 24, 2009- Half-day trading the day before Christmas is not a day for trading, it's a day to relax, spend time with the family and look forward to 2010.
December 23, 2009- Our entry short at 10:30AM EST was missed by one tick and that would have made 2-3 Points. Our next entry short again gave us 1.5 Pts before heading higher. The slow grind up after trying and failing to hit 2 pts was our reason to exit at entry.
December 22, 2009- Our Long trade occurred after 10:00AM EST and only when one point of profit was made in our direction before price went down. If you held this trade, the opportunity to exit at entry came about at 1300 EST. Historically the market activity is not the best to trade during the last 2 weeks of the Year.
December 21, 2009- A nice long trade in the 1110 area of the emini SP made 2 Pts profit. We were filled mid morning and finished just after Lunch, Noon EST. These next weeks of trading will slow down as the holidays approach.
December 18, 2009- A classic short ATO trade by the book occurred early in the morning and all Profit targets achieved, both 2 & 4 Pts. The market moved down even further surpassing our profit targets but 4 Pts was all I took.
December 17, 2009- A short entry was generated at 10:00AM EST which quickly hit our 2 Pt Profit target. The market moved lower into the after-noon hitting 4+ Pts of profit and we were correct on the direction, but a minimum of 2Pts profit was the target everyone should have achieved
December 16, 2009- A Long trade just after 11:00AM EST started the day off with only 1.5 Pts of profit missing our 2 point goal. The market moved very slow throughout the day and exiting this trade at 14:30 (2:30PM EST) was the opportunity to exit at entry. Our 2nd entry occurred just before the huge move down and we were ahead of the pack taking Profit on 2 and 4 Pts.
December 15, 2009- Our first trade Long on our Chase-The-Trade hit our 2 Points profit. If you took the afternoon trade short (i did not) this was also another 2 point winner.
December 14, 2009- Our first trade of the day short, only reached 1.5 Pts of profit before heading higher. Our second trade of the day just before noon, 12:00PM EST, kept us in this very slow market and we had multiple opportunities to exit this long trade between 14:30-15:30 EST.
December 11, 2009- Rollover to the March 2010 Contract. We had a short entry just before 12:00PM EST. This short trade was stopped as the market moved higher and no other trade was taken.
December 10, 2009- Our short entry just before 10:30AM EST gave us 1.75 Points of profit, just missing our full 2 points by 1 tick. Holding this trade short and watching price move higher was tough to see, but did not stop us out. On the move down just before 13:30 (1:30PM EST) was one opportunity to exit this trade. If you held on to this short trade, we had yet another opportunity to exit with profit later at 15:30 (3:30PM EST). As day traders it's hard to hold one trade all day, but when price trades in a range we hold our stops.
December 9, 2009 - Today we had a Long entry again just after 11:00AM EST. It's to bad that price did not push higher to fill our 2 Points profits as the market only gave us 1.5 points profit before pushing down. We then had a second trade Long in the afternoon. This trade hit all profit targets, both 2 and 4 points were made. Following the rules of the course is key.
December 8, 2009 - Our first setup Long came late at 12:00PM EST. and our rules not to enter into a trade past noon was in play. We had no other setups for the day unless you Scalped the market using our Scalping method which worked beautifully.
December 7, 2009 - Following the rules of the course is the best way to stay consistent. We don't push trades, and since we don't trade late in the afternoon today we stayed out of the market. It was an up and down day for most of the trading session. Staying out of the market, and not trading is as smart as knowing when and where to enter!
December 4, 2009 - Another nice winner. All profit targets hit. 2 and 4 Points Profit were made on the short side of this market just after 11:00AM EST. There was much more to go on the down side but I took my 4 points and was done. - All before Lunch.
December 3, 2009 - Our setup came just after 10:00AM EST. The Entry short was simple and a Classic ATO strait from the book. Both 2 and 4 points were hit. If you missed the first push down hitting the 4 points, then you had a second chance to grab it at 10:45AM EST.
December 2, 2009 - Our first setup Long in the morning never materialized and you should have stayed out of this trade. Our second trade short just after 1:00 PM (1400 EST) was good for 2 Points.
December 1, 2009 - On the first day of the month, our first trade setup Long at 1108.5 was good for 2 Points Profit. The market moved slowly up with no follow through into the afternoon.
------------------------------------------
November 30, 2009 - On the last day of the month we added a 2 Point winner. Long at 1093 gave us our winning trade of the day early in the morning.
November 27, 2009 - Half day of trading today, and for those of you who went long, according to our trading techniques ended the week with a 2 and 4 point winner. I look forward to next month and to the New Year, as undoubtedly we are in for a wild ride.
November 26, 2009 - No Trading - Happy Thanksgiving -
November 25, 2009 - A long trade early in the morning gave us our 2 points before noon as expected. Tomorrow the markets are closed due to the Thanksgiving Holiday.
November 24, 2009 - Going short before 10:00AM EST was the trade of the day for both 2 & 4 Pts profit. At minimum 2 pts profit should have been taken to be safe as the market action during this holiday week is unstable.
November 23, 2009 - This holiday trading week started off with a 2 point winner just after 10:00 AM EST. The market moved lower into the afternoon and I did not trade the afternoon setup.
November 20, 2009 - Going short this E-mini market just before 11:00 AM EST gave us our 2 point target exactly. The market tried and failed to go further down and 2 points was all we could have taken. The market moved higher into the afternoon and no other trade was taken. Next week will be a rough ride for traders as the markets trade the pre-holiday session. Be aware of light volume and erratic price jumps.
November 19, 2009 - A big Sell Off and another nice short trade early in the morning gave us both 2 and 4 point winners. I will try to post the video later tonight. No other trade or signal was generated as price went sideways after the big sell off at the open. My advice is not to over trade, especially when there is no setup or reason to trade. Following the trading plan is the best way for conistency.
November 18, 2009 - Our first signal short to enter the market just before 10:30AM EST on Chase the Trade moved higher and went against us. Following the rules of the course we entered short again at 1105, but this time we caught this market correctly and down it went hitting both our profit targets 2 & 4 Pts. Today was especially hard to trade as the market was trading in a range from the open to the close.
November 17, 2009 - Today our first trade Short at 11:00 AM EST gave us a nice 2 Pt winner fairly quickly. Price did not drop far enough to reach our 4 Pts. We try to keep our trades to the morning, especially if the first trade was a winner. If you took the afternoon signal Long and held it into the close, then an extra 1-2 Points was hit. I did not take this afternoon trade but it was also a 4pt winner!
November 16, 2009 - Our first entry signal Long was correct, but we missed the fill by 1 tic. The market continued to move higher and our next entry long at 1109 did fill us and kept us in a very long trade which finally paid off at just before 14:00 EST (2:00PM) where our target of 2 points was made. A very long trade indeed for daytraders but it paid off.
November 13, 2009 - The first setup short just after 10:00AM EST did not reach our intended profit targets. Instead the market reversed higher and our next signal was to enter Long at 1090 just before 11:00AM EST. and this time all profit targets were hit both 2 and 4.
November 12, 2009 - The first signal Long at 1096 grabbed 2-3 Pts Profit just missing our 4 Pts. Our Second signal short gave us another winner but this time both 2 and 4 Pts profit were hit. 2 winning trades before 12:00 PM EST.
November 11, 2009 - Our first trade of the day long at 10:30 AM EST did not follow through and the market went lower. Our next trade short just after 11:30 AM EST did make our 2 Pts Profit, and came within 1 tic of 4 Pts.
November 10, 2009 - Long today on our ATO just after 10:00AM EST. for 2 points profit target to the tick. 4 points was not made as huge resistance just before 1100 stopped this market from going higher.
November 9, 2009 - A nice winning trade today on the Long side. Chase the Trade worked out nicely as expected. The Market was up and up all day long. Chase the trade Catches these moves as intended.
November 6, 2009- It's been a long time since we had a day like today where we waited for a setup which never came. There was no trade today, and a good thing as the market was in a tight range for most of the day.
November 5, 2009 - A really nice long setup occurred at 10:30 AM EST. when price moved directly into our Profit targets with very little heat against us. Both 2 & 4 Points were achieved. If you were conservative and exited at 2 Points profit like I did, then you did fine. Market moved higher all day long and our direction was right on.
November 4, 2009 - Our first trade long "Chase the Trade" ran out of steam as price did not move higher as expected. We then took our 2nd trade using our original "ATO" right about 12:00 PM EST, and held it long until price jumped and spiked mid afternoon. As day traders it's very hard to hold trades for a long period of time, but until our stop or profit is hit we waited, and were rewarded. Both 2 and 4 points profit were achieved if you waited for the trade to work itself out. Being disciplined to wait for the profit or the stop to be hit is very hard, but those are the rules!
November 3, 2009 - Long again just after 10:00AM EST. This time only 2 Points Profit were achieved as price missed our 4 point target on this move. Price did continue higher throughout the day, but with large swings and volatile moves. Large stops were the only way to trade today's market.
November 2, 2009 - November began with a Long "At the Open" trade at 1040.50. Both 2 & 4 Point Profits were achieved. If you traded the afternoon signal "At the Open" we also had a winning trade but this time on the Short side grabbing again both 2 and 4 more points of profit.
------------------------------------------
October 30, 2009 - Great Short Trade ended the week with a classic "At The Open" Trade. Both 2 and 4 Points Profit hit. Going short before 11:00AM EST was the 4th profitable trade in a row. I took profits a bit early. Video will be posted later today. Have a great weekend.
October 29, 2009 - A nice winning trade Long this morning for all profit targets. Both ATO and Chase the Trade caught this market long.
October 28, 2009 - Another nice Short Trade was entered early in the morning. All profit targets hit both 2 and 4 Points. We caught this move early and the market still moved almost 20 points lower. Unbelievable! You traders who trail a stop got lucky today.
October 27, 2009 - Just before 10:30AM EST our Short entry triggered and price only gave us 2 Pts. Profit. No other trade was triggered for the day.
October 26, 2009- Wild ride of a day today with the market starting off strong then collapsing. All signals setup for a long trade in the morning but did not follow through as the market dropped over 25 points from the high. Our Chase the trade did grab all profit targets on the short side just after 12:00PM EST which offset our morning trade. Volatility is here to stay as i warned a few weeks back. We have news events all this week that will really make this market move, so be cautious and stick to your stops.
October 23, 2009- Our signal Short made a big splash as it came crashing down hitting both 2 and 4 Points Profit objectives. Chase the Trade got it right today.
Atlas Line Video posted
October 22, 2009- The first trade short unless filtered was not profitable. Some inquiries on this trade as some of you did not get a setup including myself during live trading. The Second signal was good and a large winner. Going Long just before 1:00PM EST was a nice winner. Both profits hit with room to spare. Thank you all who attended the webinar.
October 21, 2009- Our first trade happened to be Chase the Trade and was good for 2 Pts. Our original "At The Open" hit a little later just after lunch 12:00PM EST and also hit 2 Points Profit, and later hitting 4pts.
October 20, 2009- Shorting this market after 10:30AM EST and filtering the trade or not - both 2 and 4 Points Profit were made. If we have another trade I will post it.
October 19, 2009- Filtering our ATO entry short avoided this trade and the following long trade was a huge winner. The market shot up 8 points for those who like to trail. I always say take the 2 or 4 points and be done, and you got them!
October 16, 2009- Shorting the market on our original ATO gave us both 2 and 4 Points. Chase the trade should not have been taken. Those of you who took the Long trade in the afternoon got at least 2 pts missing our 4 points by a tic.
October 15, 2009- Entering long this trade or filtering this trade did not matter. Our long direction was correct and we held this trade all day with both 2 & 4 pts profit getting hit.
October 14, 2009- Our first entry short went against us and filtering the trade as recommended would have kept you out. Our long trade just before 12:00PM Est. was a nice 2 and 4 Point winner.
October 13, 2009 - Our short entry just after 10:30AM EST gave us 2 Points Profit. The long trade after 12:00PM EST did not stop us out and came back to entry after a long wait. Exiting at entry or 1 point profit should have been taken.
**The market movements have been incredibly slow, and tight. What this means to me is the build up of a nice breakout long or short with big moves just waiting to occur. This type of consolidation is always followed buy large range days. - Be ready!
October 12, 2009 - Yet another Long trade just after 10:00AM EST. kept us in this trade with price moving without any sense of direction and in a tight range until 14:00 EST when price decided to wake up and fall south pretty fast. Our short trade just before 14:30 EST set up nicely and at Least 2 Pts were made on this short trade. This was the major move of the day with range bound movements all day. Look for a major move up or down within the next few days as price is consolidating and market makers will get the action flowing.
October 9, 2009 - Another long trade just after 10:00AM EST with very slow Price Action all day long. Finally at about 15:00 EST our long trade paid off with 2 points and 4 points right at the close. Holding this trade for most of the day was tough, and when trading volume is slow, it makes trading even harder. Exiting with 2 Pts was the best bet for this slow day
October 8, 2009 - Tough day to trade If you went short just after 10:00AM EST. instead of filtering this trade, price went higher and never looked back. Our next trade long right around 12:00PM EST., after we just missed our original ATO long, was our chase the trade. Normally Chase the trade works best in the morning, and being so close to noon would not have been taken, or at least traded with caution as price went lower.
October 7, 2009 - Going long just before 10:30AM EST would have yielded 2 Points Profit. Price did go higher toward the end of the day if you held your stop, but 2 Points was realistic for the day.
October 6, 2009 - 4th Profitable trade in a row. Today was a unique day where both our original ATO and Chase the Trade got filled. Regardless which one you took profit was achieved. Today we will have a 2hour webinar for clients only, looking forward to see you all there.
October 5, 2009 - We took a long trade early in the morning which made 2Pts profit. Our 4 Pts profit was not reached at this time. The market continued higher all day, as we were correct on the direction, but for this trade 2 Pts was the minimum profit taken.
October 2, 2009 - Going Long this market just after 10:00AM EST as the course teaches gave us our 2 and 4 points profit all before noon.
October 1, 2009 - A new month started out great as our Chase the trade Setup nicely for both 2 and 4 Pts profit. on the down side. We went short and took profit before 12PM EST Noon. The market moved much lower into the afternoon and no other trade was setup.
