Chaos Clinic Recap
Here are Al's comments
1:20 OK, I'm done for the day-it is my birthday and I'm taking the rest of the day off :) -screens will run to close
thnaks for coming-see you next week-take a course
1:15 aborted -3
1:07 stop to 1326
1:04 so far so good-watching for effect of Mercury timeline
12:51 bought 30 stop 25 for now ; in move 4 of a small Chaos Clamshell up from the low
12:45 the plus and minus Moon flux are pinched, and cross near 13:40. Crossings often change the nature of the market
12:42 the Mercury timeline should add some energy
12:33 should get a pullback and a 20/110 crossing, so looking for a good buy setup
12:31 looks like the rally of hope has begun
12:23 holding up with a higher low off the low of the day-in afternoon have Mercury, Chiron, Node, and Moon timelines-should be hot
12:11 Sun timed the low ; now watch for a 20/110 buy signal
12:00 covered for +5 ; got one going into the Tide turn, but think we will turn up
11:57 sold 23 stop 26
11:50 pricewise, we have gone from Mercury+0 to Mercury+180 - a big move
11:46 tracking green +Tide-will be interesting to see if we do turn up after noon
11:30 don't like the stall here-out +6
11:23 9 point cover is 30, but today I will just ride it for whatever it is worth-after all,
the Western Stock show is in Denver right now
11:18 stop 35-lock 4 and hold
11:14 stop 39
11:09 stop 41; the second wave of selling off the gap up high came in
11:07 failed-so going chaotic-sold 39 stop 42
10:58 one of my Chaos Trading Made Easy (CTME) charts says this low will probably hold
10:56 testing the low
10:50 low on the Tide turn-second wave of buying ( gap up was first) is coming in
10:46 low of day still holding
10:39 stopped -4, net -2. In hindsight I should have waited. Now just wait for second trade time
10:30 rebought 50, stop 46 for now
10:28 with a low at 10:00, we probably have a 6 hour up fractal; We have a square today.
That's 1/4 a circle. 1/4th 24 hours is 6
10:23 I have placed my Jude3 autotrader on the AUX page
10:18 got nicked out for +2 - will watch a bit before any re-enter
I have found that pullbacks will end about 12 three minute candles after a move starts
10:15 stop 50-locking 2; moved earlier and faster than I thought it would, but I could not argue with the tape
10:12 too fast- bought 48, stop 45
10:08 on the 2 day chart, we now have a higher low, so watching for a 20/110 EXMA buy crossing
10:01 that was strong support
9:58 down to Mercury+270 flux
9:44 hanging around the 110 minute EXMA-has traded both sides of it, indicating congestion
9:34 down to the Saturn/Moon T+180 flux - due to Moon square Saturn today
9:28 Today's plan : 2 trades at 10:46 and 12:07. So watching for now
9:00 pre-outcry showing range set by Mercury/Chiron at 1359 and Moon +T225 and -T000

1/18/2008 1:09:22 PM Mountain Al:: thank you TG and MM
1/18/2008 11:51:51 AM Mountain TG:: Happy Birthday Dr. Al. Enjoy the rest of your day!
1/18/2008 11:51:04 AM Mountain mm:: HAPPY BIRTHDAY Al
1/18/2008 10:44:27 AM Mountain Al:: LOL TG
1/18/2008 10:27:09 AM Mountain TG:: I can't type fast and make sense or get two to and too right. :)
1/18/2008 10:25:23 AM Mountain TG:: Blood on the Street, gotta love it. Was a little bummed yesterday that there was such a huge decline, had too pretty good entries but got whipped out for soso gains of 4 and 6 points. I don't like jumping back in and trying to chase after a move that not close to the 110 even in this environment where its been running a long way from the 110. Today, -3 on buy attempt, + 20 on reverse from one position to the next. I have 6 day fractal ending in time precisely at today's low but last Friday I'd have sworn we'd get a mid day low based on a multiday fractal, too and the lows kept coming into the close. But that multiday fractal had a half day in it and a holiday so that proabably skewed it.
1/18/2008 7:00:20 AM Mountain mm:: gm all - have a great day
1/18/2008 6:55:28 AM Mountain Al:: GM all-good luck today
