Emini Futures | Trading In The Zones
(QQQ)(DIA)(SPY)(GLD)(AAPL)
The S&P 500 Emini Futures traded higher on Globex due in large part to Apple's (AAPL) better than expected earnings. Apple shares (NASDAQ:AAPL) were up 7% in after-hours trading following the report. The stock had dropped 13% since hitting an all-time high of $644 on April 10. Shares were down 2% at $560.28 at the close today prior to the release. Perhaps the old adage "An Apple a day keeps the Bears at bay" is true after all.
Trading In The Zones
Just yesterday the market came within 1 point of our lowest Weekly Trading Zone. It is a very rare occasion when prices trade outside of our Weekly Zones. It is even more rare for price to close the week outside the Zones. The fact that we traded within a point of our lowest Weekly Zone on Monday either meant we got it very wrong this week, or the market had a nice rally waiting in the wings.
We never know what corner of the world the news will come from to confirm our technicals. Whether it's an earthquake in Japan, a Tsunami in Indonesia, or merely an Apple "not" falling from the tree in Cupertino, we are always astounded as we anxiously await its arrival. Today is yet another prime example of the phenomena we like to call - "Trading In The Zones".
The pent up energy this morning was quite obvious as you can see on the chart below-

The chart above clearly shows the point I wanted to convey, however, I do want to give you a "cleaner" look of the last 2 trading days. To view the next chart you will need to Click To Enlarge.
S&P 500 Emini Futures
The video results you are about to watch are pretty boring. Mundane at best. It's the same old predictable setup, time after time after time. Some men say that's not possible when what they themselves suggest is simply another variation on the same old thing.... again and again and again.
Perhaps the only difference would be is that we happen to find the same old thing on the same old chart, day after day after day. So where some would say "Not possible", I say that to attempt to defy the very underlying nature of what makes a market a market would be "Impossible".

Do you only use the 2 indicators for the S&P 500? I'm looking for a simple method. I've tried the complicated crap and I just know there has to be some simple (not easy) way to grab a few points a day. I took your free trial last year but only showed up 1day. Will you let me try again?
Thank you very much.
C.D.
Have I told you lately you crack me up? I mean crack in a good way -lol.
Is it true you are having a seminar! Do Partners get a discount?
You had a lady from the UK on your show that went to Vegas. I think it was Shaila. Can you have her back on? Did she learn the turning point method from David?
Whats the best method for trading the Dow? Range charts or Volume charts?
How much does it cost to take your course? Can I use my credit card or do I wire US funds?
I signed up for the free trial but I never got the email. Will you check for me? Or is the free trial over? Which number do I call to reach you?
I have a client who has been following your always in strategy on the ES Futures. It appears from the videos at least that the strategy is "always in". Are we correct in that assumption? If so, my client wants to know if you have an automated system for the strategy? If not, he is impressed enough by the results that he wants to know what you would charge to have your team automate the strategy for him. If we can reach an agreement is it possible that our fund could use it exclusively as a proprietary methodology? We are open to discussion whether it be a development fee, lease, or preferably a buy out. I will email you my contact info. I will be out of country for 1 week but perhaps we can conduct a Skype meeting. Please advise.
Word of advice - don't reveal the code. You can never unring that bell. Trust me!

I just want to tell you how much I enjoy the live trading room and with the addition of the archived charts I have really gained a lot of knowledge about trading emini futures. I really like your personalities and those of the others you have on the show. keep up the good work.
I love the simplicity of your trading plan and the program each day really helps me keep my focus.
I am excited about taking the free trial. I have been looking for a Christian trading community for some time now and that you offer a free trial is icing on the cake. Thanks
I continue to be amazed by the variety of information you guys give away for free. I have spent lots of money in the past just to learn the things I get on the radio program. I cant wait to try the free trial and learn your method. From what I see in these charts it is pretty easy to follow and really helpful. See you at the free trial
again love the charts!
I am new at this and feel pretty good about finding your site. You guys seem to be a cut above the usual "trading trainers" and I really like that. I am looking forward to spending time with you in the trading room.
Although I am pretty new at trading eminis, I have discovered a pretty easy way to learn...by following the method I learn from listening to you guys and the charts. I look forward to your show every day and feel really comfortable in this community. I agree with the person that said don't reveal the code...you really have something special here. Just sayin....
Sedona,
Have you taken the free trial? I don't recognize your name.
Charlie,
No problem. Send an email to secondchance@cfrn.net and I'll set it up for you. We do limit 1 trial every 6 months.
