Money Management
That’s what winners do; do you?

Manic depressive markets are hard to trade, and being human, most traders react emotionally.
We need a plan if we are going to survive the turbulence of unsettled waters.
I will not insult your intelligence by making any ridiculous claims.
Watch the videos that I have been posting, and you decide if I can help you or not.
Talk is cheap, and most Talking Heads will now, in hindsight, say “I told you so”.
I can only point to my post to @tomandprisha when I remarked: “Why not 2014 for irony?”
——————
That post is insignificant compared to my daily reminder to traders in the Market wizardz Trading Room: “We are here to carve something out of the swings every day.”
——————
A noticeable pattern simmers in my thinking. FOMC has a tendency to run up into it, and often a bit of volatility ensues, but usually it makes a charge up hill.
Within a few days, the launch high gets retested. It is important to remember where the launch was…
I sent an email to a few of our newer traders yesterday.
Listen in to an excerpt if you have time:
The process of filling out the numbers in the spread sheets will help you gain insights and allow you to use “intuition” as well. (“2014.5 Irony high”)
Pay attention to the natural numbers, like…
Also, focus on unique ideas that we suggest are important.
Do you remember the scene of the crime Wednesday 1936.25? Then the retest of the 32.25 breakout?
Then 38.5 as resistance, with the 37.5 idea as key.
Note how I suggested we use the 32.25 breakout Thursday and Friday for resistance.
That’s how specific we can be with details in a world of “generalized” ideas.
—————————-
Seasonality was coming into play, and we felt we were long overdue for a correction, that’s why we have suggested this theme for the past month:
“Corrective markets have sharp bounces that seem to come out of nowhere. Accept your stop outs, then try hitting it again without being stubborn.”
The very next day after FOMC had a complete reversal. A sweeper high knocking out short stops, then a plunge, a Kaiser Soze. We had 72 as resistance, and momo began as we undercut the 48 squeeze pivot.
The bounce high testing 56 was the next sequence, and truthfully that was the do or die time. We suggested longs make sure paid by 55/56. It’s “just a number”, but technicians like me remembered it as the prior week’s high.
Rounding out the week, That breakout zone was resistance, and held for the washout low late Friday.
Zeek boldly made that prediction earlier in the day.
We have now corrected substantially off the 2014 high, approximately 6 to 7%.
This is not a market for amateurs, as the wild swings have destroyed those hapless traders who have been trying for position and/or won’t use stops.
The most important recent clues:
- Five years plus bull market
- Seasonal: Sell Rosh Hashana
- Small caps underperforming
- Stretched too far away from 200 Daily MA.
- Progress being made by gap and trap/squeeze
- Geometric proportions in timing
