Chaos Clinic Recap
Here are Al's comments
4:03 Jude 3 struggled all day, but took 8.75 on the late drop for an up day
3:06 I'm done for the day-thanks for coming-see you next week-take a course
2:55 out for 0
2:47 stop 73
2:41 rebought 73 stop 69
2:38 +6
2:28 stop 70 - lock 6
2:22 stop 68
2:15 stop 66 -lock 2 and I will let it ride to the close, even if it goes past +9; yesterday we got a 27 point late rally
2:10 stop 65
2:07 from the low, we have 5 moves of an up Chaos Clamshell, now in move 5
2:05 The cycle that I use in Franklin just kicked in, and caused a brief drop as it engaged
2:04 On a day like today I flinch a lot :)
2:02 rebought 64 stop 60
2:00 aborted -.5; not going
1:52 at about 2:30 the swing shorts are going to look at that triple bottom and start covering
1:43 right here is where the Node congestion ends, the Moon flux cross,and we normally get a second round of buying
1:40 tracking red -Tide; 4 higher lows
1:32 up to the 1467 flux bundle- if break above it a move to 1476 is possible
1:27 lots of ambivolence - stop OK for now
1:18 early, but bought 64 stop 60 for now
1:14 we first hit it yesterday about 12:50, adding 14 hours and 50 minutes ( Moon overhead to Moon overhead) gives
about 1:40, near the next trade time-often this techniques gives the end of a congestion
1:12 so why do we keep comming back to 1461? It is Mars conjoining natal Node; made current Node hot
1:07 prices told us the Node was hot, getting a streak down the Node timeline
12:55 the bulls aren't done yet - just had to call for reinforcements; should arrive near the next trade time
12:51 now that I have time to look at the astro stuff, I see we went from Node +90 to Node+180 flux lines
I watch the simple charts went I trade, and the astro stuff when I'm out of the market
12:45 there my 3 minute candlesticks showed a shooting star froming, so I pressed my stop
12:44 out +5
12:42 stop to 67.5- lock 5
12:39 my 9 point cover is 71.5
12:26 stop to 63 - I will move it a bit slower than normal due to the chop - but now it looks like the momentum is up
12:30 tracking green +Tide-it, my Franklin system, my Fractal grid, and my Fractal of Pi say up to close
12:26 about that time we should see a surge in buying; also, any break to 1469 will trigger short covering and breakout buying
12:23 the Moon flux crosses near 1:20-often changes the nature of the market
12:17 still choppy-support on Mars flux; Mars timeline is near the close; may get a price to time move
12:09 rebought 62.5, stop 59.5
12:07 aborted -2
12:00 all the swing traders using one hour bars saw a triple bottom - should feed a rally rest of day
11:53 I will hold my initial stop for 20 or 30 minutes due to the chop
11:46 bought 64, stop 61; Moon/Sun, et all timelines are hot
11:38 the hardest part of trading is waiting for a GOOD setup - I am, like most people, very impatient
one has to learn that IT PAYS TO WAIT FOR A GOOD SETUP.
11:33 MoonTides act as a time filter on trading- we want a signal to be close to a MoonTide turn
this filters out a lot of weake trades
11:29 this kind of see-saw market is what kills most trading systems based on indicators-my Jude 3 system in the
AUX page ( link on main menu bar) tried to sell that decline but got stopped out
11:25 good recovery off of the low - low came right at the crossing in the diagonal yellow MoonTide Harmonic grid
11:19 low was on Node flux
11:14 immediate recovery above the prior low - not a breakout to sell
11:13 lower low
11:10 now testing the low - watching to see if it holds again for a triple bottom
11:02 testing the 1458 flux cluster -trading between it and the 1467 cluster
10:56 the Mercury timeline is the vertical magenta line labled M ; next up is C, Chiron, T0 Moon, H sun, and N Neptune; later O Node, S Saturn, and P pluto
these are the times when the NYSE conjoins, opposes, or squares that planet
10:49 Mercury timeline was hot ; those timeline streaks are often dips in an uptrend or pop ups in a down trend
10:45 passing the Mercury 0 timeline and hitting the Mercury 270 price flux - price square time by the
Mercury clock
10:38 here I use two overlays - a 6 hour Fractal of Pi, and a Fractal grid- two patterns that I have found that show
up in fractals;within those patterns are good trade setups, which are even better if they come near a MoonTide trade time
10:36 now we have an up thrust- the start of an up fractal; bullish, but we have to wait for the fractal to develop more
10:29 out for 0
10:24 now I have stop at break even, so I'm trying to hold until more buying comes in
10:19 stop 64; bulls bought that double bottom
10:18 may have been too agressive - stop still OK
10:09 bought 64 stop 61
10:06 got a 15/20 buy crossing-watching for follow through; need to breakout above 1464
9:56 getting 5 and 6 point swings going nowhere - stay out of this sort of chop and let a pattern develop
9:49 yesterday's low has held - now the bulls will see a double bottom - in about 30 minutes we
should see buying if the low holds
9:44 I find that on outcry opening trades the trailing 3 point stop is important
9:40 -1.5 ; may get an early bottom
9:39 stop 57.5
9:37 sold 56 stop 59 continuation sell
9:31 just watching for now - early weakness has not broken yesterday's lows
9:15 preoutcry drop to Moon flux pinch/Venus/Pluto at cardinal 90 degrees 1458

comments from other traders who sometimes share their views,
trades and tips. Below are the chat room comments from this clinic
11/9/2007 2:03:38 PM Mountain Al:: nice trading , gentlemen
11/9/2007 12:55:17 PM Mountain DBJ:: Out +4
11/9/2007 12:43:21 PM Mountain DBJ:: Stop 73
11/9/2007 12:41:14 PM Mountain DBJ:: Stop 69
11/9/2007 12:23:16 PM Mountain TG:: Out for +8. did exactly what my system said to do and it worked out well. that is a nice feeling. I do think there is a move 6 and 7 to come and was very tempted to just hold on to end of day for potential big upside. I'll take the 8 now and hope for a good entry on a move 7 up.
11/9/2007 12:18:47 PM Mountain TG:: I've been long from 65.25, I've found on these high volatility days (I've defined them as making moves that go twice Al's 4 point band from 110 exma, hence moving to 8 pts from 110), that a 4.25 point stop is about right until trade gets going. On these sort of days I don't like getting whipped out of a good entry because my stop was a little too small. Too offset the extra loss potential of the larger stop I move the profit target from 5 to 8. Works pretty well.
11/9/2007 12:17:56 PM Mountain DBJ:: Bought 69. Up 27 points would be very welcome!
11/9/2007 12:07:03 PM Mountain DBJ:: Now he goes up? Crazy Harry is nasty today! :-/
11/9/2007 12:06:58 PM Mountain TG:: wow, bottomed near 2:00 1 tick from my stop. Was using 6hr FOP sized to 28 pts with 10:00 low the pivot starting point. bottom of 2:00 wick was just outside of llc.
