830am EST
– Gold futures, we looked at a 60-minute chart and we see sideways trading, wedge pattern, and trading in the middle.
o we need to wait for gold to test the highs or the lows for us to look for a pattern
o stay away from the middle of this market.
– Crude Oil setting up for a 2-step long entry above 75.05, looking to take profit @ 75.21 for ½ our position
o We notice the market going sideways, and having a hard time getting above its OPEN of the day.
o We need to see a little more volume, little more movement above the open to come test the HOD.
– Euro Futures are trading at their highs of the day, but they are still in the middle of the bracket on the slow charts.
What’s the best indicator to use to identify if the market is going to reverse?
– Speed is the best indicator
o If its slowing at the highs, you can expect a reversal
o Combine that slowing speed with big sellers at the highs, and then you see momentum shift and point down, and now you have a reversal coming.

Want to trade 4 contracts?
– Margins have increased a little with the added volatility
– $1000 per contract is a good rule of thumb
– $4,000 = min
– $6-8k to make sure you have a cushion.
– We use very tight stops will help make it easier to use a smaller account.
– 2 contracts = $2k is the min, I would recommend $3-5k
