Friday's Market Conclusion
The market made a nice smooth move upwards Friday after weeks of losses.
That makes the market interesting because of the opportunities it offers whether on the up-swing or low swing.
That's what traders prefer, they can exploit the markets breakout leaving the investors eating the dust.

Buying at the pullback and selling in the close is the classic preference for the profitable traders.
No need for too much fancy indicators or expensive expert subscriptions to rely on.
Just monitor the price actions and the trend, whether uptrend or downtrend.
In this case, it's on the uptrend, trade what your see!

How or Who You Are In Trading?
Been in the market for quite a while and after experiencing unimaginable failures and defeats, you will succumb to the temptation to discontinue involving in the market.
But if you have the passion and great understanding how the market works and the rewards that it offers, you will persevere in learning how to get involve with it.
But the market it's not just like that, as some or most aspiring traders tend to believe it...get rich quick scheme!
That's not how the market works, it takes a lot of hard work and learning.
Though you don't need to be a Phd, and even if you are an ordinary individual, you can trade the market and make money out of it.
Trading the market is not that hard, it is simple but it's not easy.
It involves emotional temperament towards the market movements and understanding of the behavior of the participants.
It's about the psychology of the market, because the market composed of individuals who participates in the determination of the price action.
Pattern recognition plays a big part in trading the market and the level of the price movements.
Once you get the feel and understanding the minds of the participants, you can have an idea how to get involve and trade the market.
It's all about reading the minds of the market and learning about yourself how to get involve (or trade the market).
Sounds simple?, but to get started in the market is to read books in trading and investing.
That's the hardest part for you will get confused which books are important and make sense based from your personality.
There are many information out there to find out which market or what market suits to your personality.
When I say personality, it's the type of person who you are whether you prefer a short term or long term involvement in the market.
It is like in a relationship, whether you want to get married for life (that's long-term investing); start living-in first (that's swing trading); live just by comfort (that's momentum or intermediate trading); or you want to live day by day (that's day trading).
It's all based from your likings and personality.

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."

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.

If you are trading on a shorter time frame (1-min.), you will possibly get chopped.
