The FKLI closes with -5 pts lose as the window dressing comes to an end.
Fella who went long with no stop probably lose out today.

It is difficult to catch any trend on the last 3 days prior to closing of
FKLI due to institution rollover. Even there is a trend, it is difficult to
tell if it is real or not.
Have to see how FKLI Aug close today.

My long position has not turn buy yet even MACD did cross up, the 1st bar at
the point after MACD did cross up, the high must be higher than the last
bar.
However, the bar was the same. Hence, no buy signal at 938.5. It had to
break 938.5 and higher.

Looking to short the market. However, FKLI has not crossed the 50 MA. No
signal to short yet.

Trade #11 closed at 932.5 = +3.5 pts.
Rgds,
-Martin Wong-
Watch out the Bollinger Band, it is narrowing now. Watch out for the MACD
cross up if it is crossing.
My stops is higher at 931.5

I can take profit at 933 but I choose to let the FKLI to take me out.
Rgds,
-Martin Wong-
I move up my stop to 931.0 which 3 ticks below today low at 932.5.
I wud let the mkt take me out.

A close above 936 is very good today. My stop remained at 930
Rgds,
-Martin Wong-
Trail my stop to 930 way past my entry point.

Finally, the peg is abandoned and the Fkli shot up but close at a discount
-7.69 pts. The good news is that the closing of cash overtook the opening of
today. So I do not see a selling so soon yet. But who knows !
My trade #10 was closed yesterday just before MOC at 918.5. Luckily for me
else I wud have to get out today at the opening at 927.
Trade #10 : -0.5 pts.
I did something bad today i.e. in the morning. I did not plan for Trade #11
but traded without my charts. I traded based on my entry price wud be 923.5
if it opens today. The market open at 927 and went down to 924.5.
I place my 929 at 9.15 am and executed and it went down to my stop. My
disaster stop is at 6.5 pts which is at 922.5.
I WAS LUCKY as the today low's is 923. Else I wud out with a loss instead a
win today. My current stop is at 926.
I know I have to take the trade today even if I have not the charts in front
of me. I WAS LUCKY TODAY.
Let's see how the trade #11 wud end on Monday 25 July 2005

This morning FKLI gap up - difficult to trade as I am not sure as it can go
either way. However, by 10:30 am, it is obvious that it is profit taking
day. Mkt zoom down to 916. Some one is holding a very big size contract. I
bet this guy is hurting if he bought at 920 and above.
Trade #9 : +3 pts. small profit. If you cannot be happy with small profit,
you can never trade well.
Trade #10 is setting up now. However, the short signal set up is not great. You have the low at 916. Place Trade #10 short at 918. Stop at 922. Unless FKLI break 914 or lower, this trade is not profitable. Beside, I am trading counter trend.
BTW, i am having a fever and told some medication. I need to rest else I wud not trade well.

Stop is in place @919. If cash mkt close above 920, it is good day.
The resistance at 925 is hard to break. Shud I worry ? No, the fkli wud do
what it wanted to do - up, down or sideway.
Rgds,
-Martin Wong-
My stop is at 919. So if I get stop out at 919, I lose 2 pts only.
Rgds,
-Martin Wong-
If I have backtested thoroughly the system, just follow it and I wud be in
the best place to place my trade.
In this case, I have entered long at 921 away from the rest of the crowd
(mkt is hitting 925). It is comfortable trading from here.
Read Mark Douglas "Trading in The ZONE". This is the area that Douglas is
talking about.

It is a very powerful trend indicator. Below 50MA, prepare to go short and
above 50MA, go long instead.
Rgds,

I now parked my disaster stop loss at 915.5. (It remind to put in my buy
stop at 920.5 earlier than 10:51 am, else I wud not have slippage of 0.5 pt. )
I think it is best to put in before the mkt opens.
Rgds,
-Martin Wong-
The FKLI mkt broke the 918.5 and touch 920.
Rgds,
-Martin Wong-
The FKLI bands are going to explode. Which way ? I do not know. Just go with
the flow. For short position there's strong resistance at 914/915. That's
leave the long side.
Watch the market.
Rgds,
-Martin Wong-
Holding on 914/915. Long Position entry wud be still 918.5+2 pts @ 920.5
pts.
Have Patience.
Rgds,
-Martin Wong-
Good place to long at 918.5 + 2 pts = 920.5 pts.
Rgds,
-Martin Wong-
Watch out 913.5/914.5. If it breaks down (selldown), it is going down. How
far ? How shud I know ? Since I miss the short position, looking to go
long.
Rgds,
-Martin Wong-
I am not sure if Monday is a sell down day. Anyway, if it cross 50 MA for
hrly chart, it is short day but I think I missed the short entry.
50MA is 914.5.

Never worries what the mkt does, worries what are you going to do next !
Rgds,
-Martin Wong-
Never regret about taking money off the table. Let someelse worry abt that
problem.

When I look back at time and sales of bid and ask, there were a huge
selldown from 9.19 am to 9.24 am which trigger my stop.
Trade #7: +18 pts
Trade #8: + 4pts
The market gives small profit. If you are happy with small profit and wait
for the big one, it wud come (see trade #7).
I am happy with the trade results for this week.
Rgds,
-Martin Wong-
Do I take profit today ? I do not know. I let the market take me out. As the
mkt close higher, I trail the stop higher.

Good overnite DJIA closing usually makes FKLI jumpy (do not take this as a
buy signal though)
Rgds,

Looking back to FKLI statistics table, the weekly median is 14.5 pts. The
week open (Mon) with 903 and it now 921 (3.20 pm). It is +3.5 pts - a figure
well above its median (right side of bell curve).
The monthly median range is 42.5 pts i.e. well above the current 18 pts
(921-903). Meaning, it has 24.5 more pts to go.
Interesting stats to know but do not let it carry away your greed.
Trail your stop.

Call the broker at 8.46 am to park my buy stop @918.5. I believe if you can park with the broker earlier, you do not get slippage that often.
Again, I do not know where and how high the mkt is going to go.
Just stay with the trend.
Rgds,
-Martin Wong-
I got a funny feeling, there is going to be big bang (breakout) from 3 pm
onwards. I am not sure which way - up or down.
Discipline to follow my system consistently wud produce predictable results.
Trading is very simple and at times boring.

Trade no. #7 register a long buy signals on Monday 11 July 2005.

Stay with the trend.
As usual, I cannot predict what the market wud do.
