Yes You Can... Cash In On Chaos!

Chaos Clinic Recap




Here are Al's comments
3:20 nope-back to green +Tide -banks and brokerages win -I'm done for the day -see you next week
3:13 move 6 from the high -possible continuation sell again
3:06 out +1
getting about 6 points of noise
3:00 stop 1452 - at a 3 point quantum above the 110
2:55 have inverted to the red -Tide
2:50 stop not hit - cant'go up, so late drop is possible
2:39 stop to 54 -top of the big candle at the break
2:36 stop 56 to normal 3 point position
2:28 resold 53 stop 58 at trade time; also move 4 of 7 down from the high; two candlestick dojis, and cont. sell
2:23 1451 is on the 7th harmonic of the circle -if we get 7 points below it we should drop easily
2:21 aborting -2 -not moving
2:11 resold 51 stop 56 for now
2:04 another top wick at 1453.25 , so that is resistance; if I get another sell opportunity, stop will be 1453.5
2:00 stopped +2 - OK, can resell
1:55 my advice to experienced traders was to triple our normal numbers on a good move-stop trail by 9, take 15 or 27
if we get rolling I may do that
1:53 stop 1451 -locking 2 - will try to hold into close
1:51 stop 1452
1:47 they just did; stop 53
1:45 49.75 is a breakdown price where automated trading systems will sell
1:42 stop 57 above top wick 3 candles back
1:32 sold 53 stop 59 for now -I got that stop off the top wick on the last 3 minute candle
1:30 now watching for the third trade - the banks an brokerage houses would lik to hold the market up into the close
can they do it?
1:27 out for 0 - nothing there - note how I played defense
1:23 stop 57 and will take 5 if offered
1:22 stop 56
1:20 continuation buy 57 stop 54
1:15 trading range has now narrowed - so risk is reduced - still 50.75 last minor low to 56.70 last minor high is 5.75 points
1:12 top wick on 3 minute candlesticks; 56.50 is resistance - good place for as stop
1:11 watching a rising trendline under the lows - TA guys will sell the break of it
1:07 watching for a sell opportunity - parked back at the 110
1:03 still watching-clear now that the bears have regained control
12:51 the whole chart shows a fireball with one forth visible with center at left of chart and about 1467
12:48 with a bit of luck we will get a sell setup within the next half hour or so
12:41 position traders sold on that rally ; I'm still finding it hard to find safe day trades , so being patient
coming to second trade time
12:36 high set by next week's Harmonic Convergence
12:33 hit Sun flux as well - Sun is at 13:00 , and coming into green +Tide high-watching for a rollover
12:27 popped up to the Mercury/Chiron flux as come to their timelines
12:10 high on Pluto flux -may be it
11:58 testing the highs again-the 110 is tracking the green +Tide
11:47 during a dull congestion is also a good time to shop for options, since the premium drops a bit as the volatility gets lower
11:38 back to the middle - if I can't collect money, I try to collect information - that Mars/Jup/Node pattern
becomes exact on Aug 19 (Mars/Node) and Aug 23 (Mars/Jupiter) - the first is about 60 days from the June high
11:29 it also tells me that Mars(war) coming into opposing Jupiter(business) and squaring the Node(soul) is probably bearish, and high energy
11:25 low on Node, high Mars/Moon tells me the coming eclipses will be resonant events, because Mars is
harmonic to the eclipse cycle.
11:14 high was on Mars/Moon flux - Mars opposes Moon in the S&P natal chart
Mars is also currently squaring Saturn/Neptune
11:09 exact 18 point 90 degree move on the Moon timeline - clearly shows the Moon is hot
11:03 support was on Node and Moon flux - still in a trading range
10:58 out for 0 - OK - my focus is on safe trades, and that was a late entry
10:50 stop at 41 has held for now
10:38 stop 41 -now can have some fun
10:34 stop 43 -above the 20 EXMA
10:33 my origanal entry was good, but I flinched - elephants dancing scare me :)
10:29 I missed a good reentry whild I was typing the Clinic comment
10:27 sold 41 stop 46
10:25 stuck between the Moon flux lines -back to watching and waiting
10:15 aborting -1.25-don't like it
10:13 stop 48.5-at top of wicks
10:09 what has been working is to use the 110 as a stop guide and watch the candle wicks
10:06 I have been finding it hard to mechanially trail a 3 point stop in this market, so I have slowed down my stop moving
10:04 sold 46 stop 49
10:00 up to 110 - may get a continuation sell that we can use a 3 point stop on
9:50 now have set a trading range between Uranus low and Neptune high - first trade time of 10:44 may be a pass
if we stay in the range
9:41 we are getting 5 point 3 minute bars - too big to be trading safely with 3 point stops - so watching and waiting
9:21 If you look at the Closing Wheel of Fortune for Wednesday and Thursday you see the highs were set by

Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto - all long term cycles. Uranus opposes Pluto in the NYSE natal chart. Subtle clues
about the nature of events.
This morning's spike high was on Mercury/Chiron flux- Chiron squares Saturn opposing Neptune in the NYSE chart.
Mercury squares Saturn/Pluto in the NYSE chart. All this tells me that whatever is going on has more to do with
the NYSE than a particular stock or index.
9:10 Today's mood is starting out as one of shock - may trade flat for several hours
8:51 Trading down at 1440 - square Pluto, who set yesterday's high
I have changed the Breaking News link to point to CNN Money - they have a good video on the
U.S. subprime mortgage crisis
9:00 Good morning from Chaos Manor

comments from other traders who sometimes share their views,
trades and tips. Below are the chat room comments from this clinic


8/10/2007 1:45:14 PM Mountain TG:: I just started reading a book about traders and successful strategies called "Way of the Turtle" by Curtis Faith. His example of a trending and volatile market is a CCS the way Al sketches them out free hand. Shows 7 moves in his example not E-wave 5. Thought that was kind of cool.
8/10/2007 1:32:01 PM Mountain TG:: There's definitely a fine balance between patience and stubbornness. Yesterday, I had a few small gains, kept getting whipsawed. Late so selloff setting up and got in too far from 110 and lost days profit. I usually don't take trades after 3:30 but took one last one at about 5 minutes before 4 and rode it down for 8 pts. I don't know if that was patience or stubbornness.
8/10/2007 1:23:54 PM Mountain Al:: nice job TG - see that wee got hexed
8/10/2007 1:21:48 PM Mountain TG:: Right Al, usually 6 pts of noise, sometimes 10 pts in last 2 days. Anyway, was starting to find support on a key CTME up streak so decided to lock in a few pts just above last few wicks. Also had 7 nice moves in 20 exma with lower lows but price was just hanging around and not following new lows in 20 exma.
8/10/2007 1:09:51 PM Mountain TG:: Locked in 4 pts. Will resell if tanks here
8/10/2007 12:55:08 PM Mountain TG:: Ok stop to 54.
8/10/2007 12:45:28 PM Mountain DBJ:: Out flat, again
8/10/2007 12:33:11 PM Mountain TG:: raising stop to 58.5. Last two days made 16 pts and would have been a lot more if not for wild whipsaws. Will give it the room it needs and if it takes me out for 5 here so be it.
8/10/2007 12:31:59 PM Mountain DBJ:: Resold 52, "once again into the breach"
8/10/2007 12:26:18 PM Mountain rgh:: today moon is void of course from 08:57 am to 8/11 06:42 am
8/10/2007 12:24:01 PM Mountain DBJ:: Out -2
8/10/2007 12:13:47 PM Mountain DBJ:: Resold 53
8/10/2007 12:12:56 PM Mountain TG:: sold 53.5 stop 57.5
8/10/2007 12:03:09 PM Mountain DBJ:: Out flat
8/10/2007 11:52:30 AM Mountain DBJ:: Placed a position sell at 52 on the thought that it might be a rough weekend. Stop 52
8/10/2007 10:25:17 AM Mountain gdl:: trying to get long. no pullbacks
8/10/2007 9:08:11 AM Mountain TG:: Looks like move 4 underway on 3-day fractal.
8/10/2007 8:47:04 AM Mountain gdl:: any shorts?
8/10/2007 7:37:26 AM Mountain mm:: gm all - hope for good volatility for the clinic
