Chaos Clinic Recap
Here are Al's comments
2:10 I am done for the day - I got what I came for . Thanks for coming. See you next week. Take a course.
1:54 this morning we had a replay of the hex pattern at 1503.5 - one side is 12 points to 1515.5
1:48 all I watched at trade time was the SPKISS chart and applied the rules; now I look at the Clinic chart and see
that the Pluto time and Mars price point was the attractor
1:47 That is a good Chaos trade - fast, clean, and profitable
1:45 out +5
1:43 stop to 12 - 15.75 is a harmonic price point
1:40 stop to 11; the Fractal grid overlay on the SPKISS chart has been clear today ( from CTME)
1:38 stop to 10.25
1:36 a lot ove breakout systems just bought - stop 9
1:32 stop 8.5 - still need a breakout to get a crowd
1:31 things changed after passing the quarter Moon point -what you see is what you get
1:29 stop 8
1:27 bought 10.25 stop 7.25
1:25 getting some buying-may get a buy signal
1:17 here I ask, "What could tip the balance?" -possibly the Pluto timeline or the Mercury timeline
1:09 the sting of higher lows tells me buying pressure is increasing - but it has to force a break above the highs to attract a crowd
1:04 markets are self-organizing systems operating on the edge of Chaos -it is getting organized to make a chaotic move
12:53 this is the "sleeper buy point" from the CTME course-not trading it-just note it is at 1508.5
12:50 this is where it is important to filter the 20/110 crossing with the MoonTide turns
12:43 got 4th 20/110 crossing today - says still congesting
12:40 drop to Node flux on Node timeline- price square time according to Node clock
12:25 starting to come into the trade window - 110 is slowly but steadily up - I will place a buy stop at 1513 now, just in case I fall asleep
12:17 I saw a nice quarter Moon early this morning - Moon square Sun - prices stuck there - what you see is what you get <
12:05 I am always interested to see how software I wrote to make decisions for me compares to my on the fly decisions
So far this piece of code is a bit better than I am in real time - eventually I'll replace myself with code :)
11:54 getting rally off the second Tide turn -it was not selected as a trade time by my software
11:45 the bias is up, so we should get a rally today - maybe up to the Mars line on the Wheel of Fortune
11:26 prices are now trading both sides of the 110 EXMA, which is flat = congestion = stay out
11:22 fast streak up the Saturn timeline, at the crossing in the diagonal yellow MoonTide harmonic grid
11:14 in hindsight, I see my out of band sell would have worked - urge is to sell now - cannot second guess yourself
you do the best you can on each trade, accept the result, and let it go. Tides tell you to look ahead and prepare for the
next trade, not regret anything in the past. We want to be ahead of the market , not chasing it
11:05 Chiron turned it down -coming to Sat/Nep timelines-price is at 1504.5
10:52 Exchange now squaring Chiron -low at 1503 was on Chiron flux, 1512 is 45 degrees up
10:38 out flat - looks like the Moon/Uranus flux has captured price
10:35 stop 11 - my focus here is to control my risk
10:29 stop 12.5
10:17 resold 11 stop 13
10:13 aborting -1.5
10:03 sold 09 stop 12
10:00 out of band sell setup -waitng a bit
9:55 made it up to the Pluto flux , and the upper band - a 9 point 45 degree range already
9:52 up to the very hot Moon/Uranus price
9:51 we cannot control our risk to 3 points under thse conditions, so we wait
9:48 yesterday Crazy Harry went over Niagra Falls-he is now bobbing in his barrel under the falls
9:45 prices got pulled back to the 1503.75 resonant price - see Hex Wheels Today page
9:40 rally stopped by the Node flux line - Moon conjoined Moon's Node yesterday, making it double loony (lunar y)
9:34 rally going into Tide turn - I'm going to wait until we pass the 9:59 trade time
9:24 preopen rally looks to be move 6 of 7 in a down Chaos Clamshell from yesterday's high
9:07 besides the hex, we have a square of Moon/Uranus-so we have both 4 hour (hex) and 6 hour (square) fractals
so the patterns will tend to be mixed
9:00 Hex pattern recognized - Jupiter, Chiron, Mars, Sun, Saturn - like an astro snowflake - a thing of beauty
Besides the comments made by Al, the chat room is has live
comments from other traders who sometimes share their views,
trades and tips. Below are the chat room comments from this clinic
6/8/2007 1:45:08 PM Mountain DAM:: By the way , what do you mean by TG's observations? thanks
6/8/2007 1:44:16 PM Mountain DAM:: by the way , what DO YOU ME
6/8/2007 12:55:31 PM Mountain DAM:: Ok , thank you
6/8/2007 12:50:25 PM Mountain Al:: DAM: the 11:37 trade time was not selected by my software, which knows statistically which times work best. Just a sophisticated version of TG's observations, refined with programming.
6/8/2007 12:40:33 PM Mountain TG:: whoops, hit submit button twice. I'm not sure how Al chooses his trade times but using his chaos courses, I don't think I'd be revealing too much to say that if a nice trend develops that last's most of the day it is going to usually start between 9:30 and 10:30 sometimes as late as 11:00 but usually not that late. Once it gets going there is usually a mid day consolidation with potentially good moves typically not coming again until 12:30-2:30. It doesn't always play out this way of course but I think it does more often than not.
6/8/2007 12:27:56 PM Mountain DAM:: Can one of you tell mee why the 11:37 tide turn was not sugested today has a possible trade time? The sugested tradable tide turns where 9:59 and 13:15. When I look at today's tide graph there is a nice turn at 11:37. Thank you
6/8/2007 12:21:58 PM Mountain TG:: I work at it every day. Thanks for the compliment but when I become profitable enough to really do some good for others than I'll deserve compliments. Done for the day, too. With that last up move, price went up near top of my FOP so unlikely another good risk reward setup will take place.
6/8/2007 11:59:23 AM Mountain Al:: TG: as I've told you before, it's your hard work and application that has paid off. Every teacher loves a student who actually works at something. You are one of my Chaos Trading Heros.
6/8/2007 11:56:02 AM Mountain TG:: Very nice. CTME and FOP courses paid off for me well today. Long from 9.75 out at 14.75. + 5 is plenty sweet though there could be more coming, I grab the 5 unless the move is ultra powerful. I took the 20/110 cross at 13:06 (seemed to be a little juice there) as confirmation that CC move 4 was over. Had to sweat out a recross against me but those 3 minute bars from 13:09-13:21 didn't have the sort of juice to make me think my initial thinking was wrong. Thanks Al, your course work has again paid off for me.
6/8/2007 9:39:22 AM Mountain Al:: mt-also, the scaling from my energy forecasts to price is arbitrary, so the forecasts only give realtive, not absolute prices
6/8/2007 9:36:16 AM Mountain Al:: mt-I use the same contact that the pit guys trade for all my charts, so you will see two different contracts at rollover -my research shows that this best fits the energy model that reflects the mindset of traders - I know that differs from the ordinary, butr most of what I do differs from the ordinary
6/8/2007 9:23:00 AM Mountain DAM:: Good morning. This is my first time on the forum.
I just started with the moontides approach and I'm paper trading it
6/8/2007 8:26:42 AM Mountain rnt:: Al, is there anyway you can get Xtide2 in line with the Sept future. Its a bit of both at the moment.
6/8/2007 7:56:21 AM Mountain jrg:: is there anybody in here?
6/8/2007 6:45:39 AM Mountain Al:: GM MM et all
Don't think it will be as chaotic today
6/8/2007 3:35:34 AM Mountain mm:: gm all - hope the market has another good run for your Clinic, Al
