Chaos Clinic Recap
Here are Al's comments
2:38 I'm done for the day-screens will run to close-thanks for coming-see you next week-take a course
2:35 I'm passing on the last trade-too late in a big move, and trend is still up
2:24 getting a move 7 -I expect marginal new highs, so not buying
2:20 this sort of big up day dows not lend itself to any big sell off scenario-we may just trade flat into the close
2:07 my inner voice was right-an entry at 92 was not that good - it takes time and practice to learn to trust that
inner voice, and to separate out the true inner voice from the voice of fear and greed
2:00 this is about what I expected after the big early move - a series of marginal new highs-much harder to
trade than the initial move
1:54 tracking green +Tide-it now goes flat, then pulls back
1:49 Now I see we popped up to the Mars/Uranus flux , then pulled back
1:42 I'm letting that one go- something told me to get out, and I never second guess that inner voice
1:37 aborting for +.5 - something does not feel right
1:34 bought 1292 stop 1289
1:29 broke higher- I did not jump on it - testing Wednesday high
1:23 maybe 1278 - Mercury is obviously hot, setting the range-it trines Pluto today; I was looking for
a trine because of the position we are at in the Fractal Grid from the Chaos Trading Made Easy Course
1:18 if we plull back, I think we hold 1380-Friday afternoons tend not to have big drops as XTide2 forecasts
1:14 Wheel of fortunes shows us on Node/Chiron/Sun flux as pass their timelines
1:12 I'm perfectly happy to pass on this trade unless we get some juice
1:08 the MT rainbow chart tells me we are near max divergence, so a buy is not a good bet-I would expect a convergence
back toward the mean -near the 440 ; XTide2Plus suggests this as well
1:02 don't see a trade setup here-least not yet
12:47 also have Mercury+180 there too - so 135 degrees from Mercury +45 to +180 - 3/8 (Fib ratio) of circle
12:44 stalled at Neptune flux -Neptune timeline is near 1:20
12:32 I'm back - see in a move 3 up ; range now one tick over a harmonic 27=3*9 points - 135 degrees
11:35 it's over an hour before the next trade time, so I'm going to take an hour break
11:27 I have often said "Chaos follows dullness." the opposite is also true-"Dullness follows chaos."
11:04 this big move up was move 1 of 7 in an up Chaos Clamshell-whne 1 is the big move, the rest tend to be much smaller
and the new highs tend to be marginal, falling back quickly, frustrating the breakout buyers
10:58 the MTRainbow chart now shows divergence and the 440 ( sort of the centerline) at 1274 , so I expect the upside is done for several hours
10:34 move stopped at the Moon+90 flux ; good news is we got a good trade out of it-bad news it it may now get dull
10:30 24.5 points in one chaotic move - definitely not a dull Friday !
10:25 resonance still not down-but when it ends, it will end as quick as it began-that is the nature of chaos
10:21 that, ladies and gentlemen, was a 10:00 resonant streak - 10;00 was 45 degrees from Sun and 135 degrees from Moon
10:17 range now 22.5- 1/16th of a circle - move may be done
10:09 out +9, pour the wine; trading is fine
10:08 stop 72
10:05 on rainbow chart, this move has turned the 440 up - so may be a bull day
9:57 stop to 69; 9 point cover is 75.75-trying for 9 because of speed of move and early in day
9:55 that was a quick reversal of trend-may be more exciting day than I anticiapated
9:46-bought 1266.75 on 20/110 crossing-stop at 61-below the low
9:38-support came at Mercury+45 degrees, with bounce back to 1269-so not going lower, but not yet going up
9:36 out -2.5
9:34 stop 1265.5
9:32 sold 1263 stop 1266 - will cover 1260
9:31 trend is down at outcry open-1260 is support
9:20 tested yesterday's low-held with onlt 2 tick penetration- high was on moon flux pinch 1269-low 6 points
lower-not much range yet
9:09 Pre-outcry has market holding near yesterday's close-downside is limited by extent of yesterday's late drop
MTRainbow chart shows the 440 EXMA near 1271, suggesting an attempt to recover to it-1271.25 is Mercury+090
Last few Fridays have been dull, suggesting going for smaller than normal gains; Today's Moontides suggest dull day, too.
9:00 Good morning from Chaos Manor
