Happy Labor Day

Wishing all you steel rats all a happy and relaxing Labor Day weekend. I for one will be working on last minute CrazyIvan related chores: finalizing the tutorials and the order flow, build you a kick-ass futures risk calculator, deploy a new version of CrazyIvan – plenty to keep me busy for the next few days.

Here’s some relaxing music to brighten your late summer days. I particularly enjoyed the fifth track – just dreamy. So grab a cold one, kick up your feet, and forget all about [...]

Labor Day Trap

Welcome to our morning briefing. Here we are reviewing short term setups ahead of the NYSE opening bell. If you are a scalper or swing trader then these setups may be of interest to you. As usual keep in mind that these are short term setups although they could be used as early entries for more longer term positions.

We’re about an hour away from the open of the last session before the long Labor Day weekend and equities still appear stuck in limbo, thus leaving a door wide open for both the bulls and the bears. Of course that is somewhat intentional and quite frankly I would be somewhat surprised to see a clear resolution today.

This puts us in a bit of a [...]

Two Steps Forward One Step Back

It seems the bulls are as unable to gain traction here as the bears are to slicing through that support zone below. Frankly speaking I spent the day more productively by adding bond style fractions (e.g. 132’9 instead of 132.28125) to the CrazyIvan messaging system. That should be a welcome improvement for you bond traders and it works on all type of fractions including the ZN, ZT, and ZF). I’ll deploy it once I see a quiet period or over the weekend for sure.

So my long still remains in place (sorry Scott) – thus far as we have not taken out the NLSL despite this morning’s little attempt to scare the children. Although I’m starting to see [...]

Thursday Morning Briefing

Welcome to our morning briefing. Here we are reviewing short term setups ahead of the NYSE opening bell. If you are a scalper or swing trader then these setups may be of interest to you. As usual keep in mind that these are short term setups although they could be used as early entries for more longer term positions.

The spoos managed to recover a little overnight but I still don’t see any major mojo in either direction yet. I can appreciate that fence hopping is not everyone’s style and I respect Scott’s style of holding the existing short entry. If you recall on my end I managed to hedge myself via the NQ and that’s still working in my favor, [...]
