Weekly Trading Zones | 20 Point Round Trip

S&P 500 Rallies 10 Points To Next Higer Zone And Back Again
For CFRN Partners who rely heavily on the Weekly Trading Zones as a cornerstone of their Emini Trading Strategy, this has been a stellar week. You can browse charts from the last few years right here on the blog, you can also watch a slide show Emini Futures - 2012 The Year In Pictures (be sure to use the slide show option for optimum viewing). Either way, you will see the beauty of the Zones. I could create creepy analogies like it's a "symphony", wait... I may have said that in the past, anyway - my real point is this > However you choose to use the Zones, it's a heck of a tool to have in your trading toolbox.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to take credit for the underlying rhythm of the market. It was there long before I came along and I'm certain it will still be there long after I'm gone. However, as long as I'm here, I'm going to do my very best to put it to work in my trading. Even if for some bizarre reason I decided I didn't want to use it, given the knowledge, I hope I would at least be smart enough to never trade against it. Again, the market is much bigger than any of us and whatever we can do to work with the market, not against it, can only benefit the bottom line of our Emini Trading Business.
As I've mentioned before, when you begin to layer the Weekly Trading Zones with our other tools such as the CFRN_SR our Dynamic Support and Resistance tool, the results become even more compelling. Let's take a look at the chart from today -
S&P500 Emini Futures (ES) Hourly Chart 03/15/13
What happened when we hit the next higher WTZ? Standard fare, we did an about face and raced right back down the full 10 Points to the previous WTZ @ 1548/49. Then what? We hit the WTZ to the tick, spent exactly 1 minute there (go look at a 1 minute chart), and then put in a stellar bounce. The bounce weakened half way back up as evidenced by a big Doji on the hourly chart, so we sent out a Tweet which allowed everyone to grab a quick 2-3 points on the short side in the big, new, defy the imagination, bull run. Or is it?
We don't know and we really don't need to know. It's above our pay grade. 2 Points a day is a heck of a good living no matter how you slice it. Want to take it on the long side? OK. Want to take whatever is in front of you? OK. As long as you understand the setup, don't hesitate when it's time to execute, and aggressively manage your risk.. you're a professional trader. I don't care how much money you have in your account or how many contracts you trade, if you behave like a professional, and trade like a professional, you ARE a professional. The opposite is also true.
Let's take a look at the Tweet -

(ES) Tweet 03/15/13
After the initial 3 point drop, price did exactly what you might expect, it came right back to test the important area which was both our entry, and the bottom of the Doji. As we rolled into the close, price was working its way back down the chart. When Globex opens Sunday night, keep in mind the stage that was set Friday afternoon.

Just another short video (30 minutes) that walks you through 2 trades from start to finish. You get to see the entry, the management, the exit. Also, I have hidden an "Easter Egg" named Jim in this video. Can you find it? BTW - the term Egg here is a geek reference and has nothing to do with traditional bunny culture. Enjoy the show...
