830am EST

– Crude Oil Futures

o Wedge pattern on the slow chart
o Sideways trading on the fast chart
o Pace of tape indicator < 50 so very slow!
o Average true range was low, but not the lowest of the day
o We need to wait for price to break out of this sideways wedge pattern, it will give us better opportunities outside the wedge.

– Gold Futures

o Wedge pattern on the slow chart
o Sideways trading range is the same from last Friday, flat and sideways
o Speed of the market (pace of tape indicator) < 50 right now, so VERY slow
o Average true is rising, but we notice that its coming off its LOWEST reading in 2 weeks
o This tells us to be careful

 Low atr reading is the first clue
 Same trading range from last Friday = nothing has changed over the weekend = nobody has any real idea of where price is headed next

– Euro Futures

o Wedge pattern on the slow chart
 We also notice we are in the middle of the trading range on the slow chart
o We are trading at the low of day on the fast chart
 We notice this LOD is actually the MIDDLE of the trading range from the previous day on Friday

915am EST

– We see our first potential trade on the crude oil futures
o Price broke the low of the day around the open of crude oil @ 905am EST
o We looked for the 2-step long bounce off the LOD but price action is very slow
o We then looked for the wave entry long to continue the move to the upside, but there was a trend line in our way, which changed the course of price action.

– So no trades so far, and we notice that the markets are starting to look like they’re asleep, we need to see something today to wake them up.

1015am EST

– We begin working with the e-mini ES
o Sideways wedge pattern on the slow chart

1045am EST

– We see gold setting up for a breaker and a wave pattern short, but we notice the area on our chart is in a area of support and resistance all around us.
o We are careful not to trade around these areas b/c the risk isn’t worth the reward
o I have to risk 24 ticks (6 ticks x 4) for each trade
 If I notice that the area on my chart is going to make it very difficult on this trade working out, ill wait
