Emini Futures Trading / Jobs? Recovery? Hope Is Not A Plan!
There was a Job’s Report Today???
The highly anticipated Unemployment report came and went. The bottom line, the Unemployment rate unexpectedly dropped to 9.0% in January but the nonfarm payrolls added only 36,000 jobs missing expectations. After the number was released traders were confused at what side of the trade to take. Initially we had a sharp run to 1308.50 then a sell off to the daily pivot at 1300.75. Back and forth until we broke to new lows as news out of Egypt reported the U.S. government was or may be pressuring Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak to resign. Good thing/Bad thing? The SP EMINI sold off on the news putting in a low of 1298.00, the dollar strengthened, gold lost its strength and crude oil dropped 1.67%. However, like the Energizer bunny the SP market digested the news and closed near the upper end of the trading range forcing the early sellers to cover. In the end the SP EMINI produced a 10 pt. range from high to low………..zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
That was the descriptive stuff now the predictive stuff. I mean that’s why you’re reading this right,
“Tell me the future”???
The daily chart is still pointing higher. What you should be looking at is Monday's low and the energy off that low or 1262.50 (ESH11). Connecting the dots or a simple trend line you’ll notice that Monday’s low was the uptrend line. Making a new pivot high on Tuesday or the break back above 1300 was your first real clue that the bulls were back in charge. So Wednesday-today you should’ve been probing the long side or buying dips. There’s a point here. Today’s close above 1300 and especially 1306.25 in the SP EMINI is bullish going into Sunday night and Monday Morning. Cut up the chart on the hourly now, the 1302/1301 area should be a potential buying area. Some rattling news over the weekend could send the SP EMINI to 1296.00 and potentially 1288.00 yet still keep the daily chart in a bullish posture. My opinion, you’re looking for pullbacks to buy. Looking at the same hourly chart, overhead resistance is 1314/1315 with 1330/1331 level as a projected weekly high. Official numbers will be released to members before the open on Monday.

Part 2 of our 5 part series.
Last night we discussed in-depth the CF_TC Indicator. Tonight we turn our attention to the CF_MA1. This is the sleekest, smoothest, most highly intuitive moving average available anywhere at any price. It does its best work on very quick time frames. The 10k Volume, 2100 Tick, 610 Tick, 6 Tick Range, 3 Tick Range are charts where this mathematical marvel truly shines. So why am I showing it to you on a 30 minute chart? Because shooting fish in a barrel just isn't very sporting..........
Before we go to the charts I want to clear the air. We do sell the CFRN Indicator Set. The Set includes 5 individual indicators, each of which could be traded as a stand-alone system. However, working hand in hand they become more than just lagging indicators, more than a mere trading system, they become fertile soil for growing your financial future.
People often ask, "What's your win/loss %?" Or make demands "Show me on your DOM the winning and losing trades." No matter how it's worded, the request for information is based on a desire to see a trade setup with iron clad rules that is always right and it breaks my heart because that person is seeking that which can't be found and I understand from my own experience the pain and frustration that lies ahead of them. What we offer is not about a "perfect trade set-up". Our indicators simply let you know when the proper conditions exist to put on a trade.
Whether you use our indicators or spend $16,000.00 with our closest competitor, here's the bottom line-
You Must Be Willing To Learn How To Trade
Before you go any further with us, ask yourself this very important question, "Are you willing to stop seeking that which does not exist and simply use some very good tools and Learn How to Trade?" If you answered YES, you've come to the right place. Michael and I will invest our lives in your success.
It's late here in Phoenix. I have to be in a Parade in a few hours. Give some serious thought to what role you are willing to play in your success as a trader. I'll be back tomorrow night with 8 charts for you and an update on the future plans of CFRN.
