PIVOT MAGIC JOURNAL - EXCERPT

Good morning,

Trading range was a bit smaller than it has been, so
there were no giant trades on Thursday. Clipped a
couple of average moves, and were forced to scratch
one at about breakeven.

TGIF!!! Have a wonderful extended holiday vacation.

Be well,

E-mini
Thursday December 20, 2007

1 = Morning session opens gap-up with an Anomaly (Overnight, bottom left chart,
Double top formation) off the R1. Aggressive entry was possible.
(Reread that chapter!)

A = Large red candle. Per our stop rules, move profit-locking stop above the high
of the candle.

B = Giant red candle/Failed test of MA (sort of). Move profit-locking stop above
the MA. Otherwise, call it a single candle violated Maximum Profit Giveback rules.
Mental stop at Giveback level.

C = Large red inverted (Bull) Dragonfly spikes through the Pivot. PMT stop rules
permit us to move profit-locking above the high of the candle. Hate stalling in the
"green fog" Ambush Zone! Prepare to jump.

D = Large red candle rips through the Close and exits the fog. Per our rules, move
profit-locking stop above the Close.

Lower-low-turns-white. That's a J-hook. Exit Now! +/- 7.50 points

. . . [SNIP] . . .

PERSPECTIVE
(Daily, bottom right chart)

Thursday was yet another breather day spanning almost the
entire channel between the 50% (red line) and 62% (dark red
line) Retracement levels. I snapped the Daily chart picture
well into the night session. Notice that overnight Price
Action has already assaulted the 50% Retracement. Perhaps
a nice rangy Bull day Friday? It will almost surely be full
of traps.

Beware!

REMEMBER: Trade the Tape, Not my Prognostics!
