A rather quiet day in the markets today, but that was to be expected given all the action we saw yesterday Go figure we’d get the huge move the day I had stuff to do outside of the office! Isn’t that always the way?
While we didn’t see another monster day like Tuesday I did manage to get one trade off early before the market entered “chop” mode.
Bought 3 FESXU7 4410/4413 E 100 (approx $130)

Put myself behind the 8-ball early as got into a losing trade with the Stoxx 50. I did manage to scramble back before the market went “flatline” and didn’t give another trade for the rest of the session.
Sold 3 FESXU7 (Stoxx 50) 4478/4485 $210 loss (approx)
Sold 3 FESXU7 4478/4479 $ 30 profit (approx)
Bought 3 ZBU7 108-13/108-15 $187 profit
Total Profit: $7.00
Well at least I made the broker happy. 
Last minute commitments are keeping me from trading Tuesday but I hope to have more for you Wednesday.

“Summertime an’ the livin’ is easy”… or so the song says. Well the livin’ might be easy but the tradin’ sure ain’t! I tried to get into a couple of trades today, but was leery doing so as we’ve got a couple of big and semi-big reports due out this week. The market never cooperated long enough to get a fill so all in all the day was a wash.
We should see things start to shape up a bit as the week progresses however. At least that’s the plan right now!

It’s definitely Summer as the markets are just plain crazy! It must be the heat because the ranges are too big and the signals too sloppy to trade. As a result we knocked off early and decided to go out and enjoy the sunshine ourselves!
Tomorrow is Friday the 13th and whether you’re superstitious or not it’s going to be a very thin day to trade. If we don’t get something early then we likely won’t get anything at all. Just so you know.

“The VUHR” - or something like that.
I’ve spent the last 3 days testing, using, and trading off this new fangled signal viewer thingy. All I can say is that it’s flippin’ AWESOME! Its so fast!!! Signal pops up; you have time to refer to the chart to make sure you’re not trading into something nasty, if all is clear WHACK IT! The raw signal alone is running between 80 and 85% winners, and thats without checking a chart or applying any trade management rules whatsoever. That makes it “black boxable” lol.
Anyway, during this little test period, I’m managing to bring in between 60 and 100 bucks per contract, per day. Today I did 70.00 per contract… traded 4 contracts - +280.00. Had it not been for some severe weather blowing through, there were a few other winners that I would have liked to have nabbed but couldn’t… sure hope some in the group did! I do know one of the guys bagged 900 euros on a trade today in the Bund off a fibwit. If he doesn’t mind, I’ll post his email here so you can see it. WAY TO GO!!!
Next week I’ll start ramping up the size again. I’ll also start to report again on a more timely fashion.
