Thanks to my wife for her loving support. Thanks to Brain Zimmerman and Lance Beggs for their friendship, support and coaching.


"The world aint all sunshine and rainbows. It's a very mean and nasty place and it doesn't care how tough you are, it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain't about how hard you hit, it's about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward...how much you can take and keep moving forward. THAT'S HOW WINNING IS DONE!! If you know how much your worth then go get what your worth, but you have to be willing to take the hits, and not pointing fingers saying you aint where you want to be because of him, her, or anybody. Cowards do that and that aint you. You're better than that". Rocky 6

6-21 YM YTC scalper

still working out my YTC scalper technique.  Its a work in progress.  My biggest problems are waiting for the right moment and over trading.  Trade count seems to be high and need to hit key areas or get off screen earlier.
Having some problems loading pictures on this blog and will update asap

6-16 trades


Get Him To The Greek
While Greece remains unstable along with quadruple whitching, sideways markets, QE2 ending, and whatever else  is playing a drama role , the charts have kept me on my toes.

6-8 trades


tight range after a controlled  sell off that started on 6-1.  It been a long time since Ive seen a controlled sell in this market. For the past 2 years any type of correction would be short lived.

on the micro side of things todays tight range trading was based on failed moves.I believed the market was stretched into support and momentum was slowing. I switch to the YM to keep risk lower in this type of market condition.

5-26 YM trade

catching traders on the wrong side is key to my trading style.  As long as I can keep a focus on major levels and how price reacts around those zones i usually do well.  on this YM trade it worked almost perfectly.  My thoughts here were shorts were going to try to get active but noticed price action wasn't showing the fear that usually happens. When price doesn't show momentum in one direction i start to look at the other side ready to ride the exits of other traders.

Some basic stuff action/reaction.  Cl has been tricky to read for me.  Staying low until i can catch these reads.  Cl has not been moving like it has been over the past few months. Macro correction phases are nasty. Its expected

3-3 and 3-4 trades


last 2 days -43.75  and -100

My trading on the 6B the last few week has been the well below my expectations.  Its grinding in a tight range at a key level.  My trade review shows Im hitting trades in the right direction but I'm not able to hang on because of end of day or the trade is lasting 30-50 minutes and I don't deal with that well.  The center of the chart data is real and that was on 3-4 jobs report and they just cleaned out all the stops.
