Hang'n 'em there "trading" buddy...
Just a simple thoughts in trading regarding the hiccups most if not all traders encountering about the markets unpredictable moves.
What we can do is just "hang'n 'em there buddy"...
That's how the market is, it's all ups and downs but if you can take the opportunity that the market offers even just to monitor its moves and the education it brings, it's all worth it.
And don't hesitate to take a break, the market will be there tomorrow.
As the famous quote from great traders, you can't trade the market everyday, only fools do.
Most aspiring traders i'm sure are getting pummeled by the 'monstrocities' market swings, we cannot avoid that.
All we can do it take whatever the market brings and learn from it.
When the market settles, the bright side of the market rises.

Thursday's Market Trade
The market drops down today due to unfavorable reports from the governments healthcare law and from overseas woes.
Shown is the 5-min chart where the most probable short entry is at S3 (support) level with the cover at the lower arrow.
I think that's the most the market can go lower today because of the big gap when it went down in the open.
But who knows?

Trading Facebook (FB)
I mentioned from my previous posts that to get involved personally in the FB IPO is just to trade not to invest.
And now looking at this latest chart, it's really a good way to trade.
I mentioned also that when it consolidates at the price of $27.00, FB is a buy...buy...buy...
So if you bought it at $27.00 then, you are now raking some smart profit.
Just take a look at this latest chart (1-hr) and make your own judgment that trading it is the better way.
Just wait for the right timing, that's why technical analysis is better than the fundamentals.
Trade what you see as they always emphasized in trading.

"I didn't shortcut anything"
"It was a journey for myself," he said. "I don't want to compare it to any
other player. Everything that went with me being a high school prodigy when I
was 16 and on the cover of Sports Illustrated to being drafted and having to be
the face of a franchise; everything that came with it. I had to deal with it,
and I had to learn through it.
"No one had [gone] through that journey, so I had to learn on my own. Everything that came with it, I had to basically figure it out on my own."
And then, James would say: "I'm a champion, and I did it the right way. I didn't shortcut anything."

Thursday's Short Trade
The market was a little bit choppy early in the open.
But it shown a downtrend move when it crosses the S1 the second time.
That is where the most probable entry on the short side.
From thereon, it went down lower from S3.
I guess the participants are taking their profits.

Boring Market
Yesterday (Wednesday) and today's market can be considered a non-trading day.
As can be seen from today's chart, the market is quite choppy.
Can't distinguished what the market is doing.
This is the time to stay out in the market and just watch from the sidelines.

The market gap up today and the best entry is to buy at the pullback from the R1 as shown on this 5-min. chart.
The exit is at the R2 as shown in the upper arrow.

Monday's Market Trade
The market open below and made a stunning reversal within a few minutes into the open.
Buying at the previous close price level and sell an hour before the market close is the trade for today.
Not much quite volatile in today's market except a major pullback from the R1 level.
It retrace a bit but able to regain its momentum.
You can make a second entry from the pullback and can still make a decent profit if you were not able to catch the "meat" below.
That's why in trading, those who are patient enough to wait can still profit from what the market offers.
Just like this one!

Friday's Market Action
The market gap down hard in the open due to negative jobless report.
Not a good sign on the first day of the month of June.
To trade the Friday's market is to short in the open and cover in (or before) the close.
Trading the market last Friday needs to analyze on a multiple time frame.
If you are trading on a shorter time frame (1-min.), you will possibly get chopped.
