The Cash Mkt does not look good. This is the first day where daily MACD cross down. It wud take some time for it to cross up.

2:52 pm - FKLI hit a vaccum - Drop from 921 to 918.5 low

Trade #12 stop is trailed lower to 923.5. Shud be in the money soon.

Trade #12 is for short.

1:12 pm - FKLI breaking below 50MA on FKLI hrly timeframe

It looks like it is time to short the FKLI below 925.

Cash Mkt for Month of Oct ....


Sideway for how long ? Your guess is as good as mine.

FKLI open gap up +1.5 pts - Buy signal is on BUT ...

FKLi gap up after closing at 925. Mkt Gap up generally mean the FKLi wud closed lower. However, FKLI is heading sideway.

The Buy signal is in but the setup has set in. Difficult to tell how to trade trade #12.

Daily chart is showing sideway movement. If there is money to be made, it has to be intraday trade.

Watch out for FKLI to break and close above 929.5.

To short is difficult as there are support AND to Long is difficult as there are no volume.

Daily Pivot:
R1 = 925.75
P = 924.5
S1 = 921.75

Waiting for trade #12 to setup.

10:57 am - FKLI hit 925 and ....

Trail stop to 925.5

Trade #10 closed at 925.0 with a 5 pts profit. My target for FKLi at 929.5 came true. My system is a trend following. I cannot pick the top nor bottom.

11:19 am - FKLI hit low of 924.5 and cannot go lower

FKLi hit 924.5 but my stop is at 924.0. Did not get stopped out and finally FKLi break back to 928. ATR stop really help me this time.

Stop loss at 924.5

Rgds,

Tuesday, October 11, 2005

5:24 pm - FKLI cud not go higher.

Get ready to sell tomorrow. Stop loss at 924.5

9:52 am - FKLI hit high at 928.0

Trade #10 is in-the-money. Stop is trailed higher to 922.5.

Target for the day (think to sell) is at 929.5/935.5

If FKLI get above 927.5 and close above it. FKLI wud be ready to be sold in the next day.

Friday, October 07, 2005

4:39 pm - FKLI broke thru 920.5/921

FKLI is surging. Trade #10 is long at 920.0 as it broke 922.5 and closed the overhead gap at 922.5

Stop loss at 916.5/917.0

FKLI shud stay above 922.5

Rgds,
-martin-

3:48 pm - FKLI hit 920 but ....

FKLI hit 920 but on a delay fashion. It is not the best entry. It shud break 920/920.5 at 11 am. I wud wait for another reentry.

Trade #10 is delayed from entry at this point.

Rgds,
-martin-

10:44 pm - FKLI gap down to 914

Normally when FKLI gap down, it is up day. Wait for hrly chart to close above 920. Trade #10 is long at 920.

Thursday, October 06, 2005

3:25 pm - FKLI selldown to 913.5 again in the afternoon session

However, I have already cashed out at 918.5,. This is trading. You do not get the best everytime.

I am looking for an opportunity to enter tomorrow either short or long.

10:38 pm - FKLI open at 919 and selldown to 913.5

I think the FKLI EOD day traders got stop out at 916-913. That may explained why there are a huge selldown for these long position.

Normally, if FKLi gap down, FKLI wud close higher. My stop was triggered at 918.5

Trade #9 end +7 pts profit.

Watch to go for long position today at 920.5/921 .

Rgds,
-martin

Wednesday, October 05, 2005

4:22 pm - FKLI hit 926 in the morning and cash hold on

FKLi takes the opposite route and selldown to 920.5 which is the last support. If broken, we see further support at 918/919.0

Stop loss at 923.5 pts.

Rgds,
-martin-

Tuesday, October 04, 2005

5:08 pm - Call broker to short at 925.5

Trade #9 is shorted at 925.5. Stop loss at 928.5/929.0 pts.

10:16 am - FKLI open 925 and run to 931.

System indicate Trade #9 is a long position. However, I rather short at this stage. For trading system, I wud miss this and trade on discretionary by shorting at 929.5.

Stop loss at 934.5

Target to get out at EOD or stop loss at 934.5 as I am trading against trend.

Monday, September 26, 2005

9:48 am - FKLI has 4.5 pts range from 929.5 - 925

For FKLi to go higher, it has to close today at 925 + 7.5 = 932.5. Buying long at 929.5 . Premium
at now is +6.56 pts.

A short at this moment wud be better but considering the market is trending up. It is riskier to do so.

Too much of a risk especially when this Friday is closing of Sept contract. This is not one of the best buy signal but I wud follow my system.

Trade #8 is long at 930.5. Trail stop loss is at 928.0 pts.

9:48 am - FKLI gap up 2 pts and run away

FKLI hits 929.5 for the first time and I am reluctant to trade until 10 am.

Trade #8 is placed at 10.00 closing price.

Thursday, September 22, 2005

10:13 am - Trade #7 stopped out at 920.5

4:32 pm - The FKLI is going to sideway.

If there is any trade #2, it has to break out of 908.5

Tuesday, August 30, 2005

5:07 pm - FKLI selldown from 4.30 pm onward

It is the usual syndicate to cash out their short position by pushing the price up prior to 4.30 pm and selldown to 910.0 pts.

This makes it difficult to trade with these professional and able to make money from it.

So stay out.

FKLI hit low of 924. Can it go any lower ? I do not know.

Trail my stop lower to 930. At this point, my loss will be -1.5 pt.

Rgds,
-martin-

3:09 am : FKLI hit low of 924.5

Watch cash mkt if it break 930.0 today. If FKLI close below 928.0, the trend is down for the time being.

1:00 pm - Stop at 932.0

Trail stop to 932.0

11:28 am - Trade #17 is shorted at 928.5

My order is triggered and FKLI has gone lower to 926.5

10:48 am - FKLI did hit 937 and took out those short position


MACD looks to be crossing down and still below 50 MA. ATR stop is 930.5. Watch this level of 930.5.

If this level of 930 is breached for the third time, this is serious.

Second confirmation Bollinger Band is narrowing.

Trade # 17 is going to be short position at 929.5 or above.

FKLi is breaching 930 for the third time and a good sign to go short.

Friday, August 12, 2005

3:51 pm - MACD cross up at 12 noon

FKLI did cross up but did not break out from 937. If it does not break out 937, the market is not going to support it.

The market gap up higher and begin to sell down. This is a FKLI characteristic when DJIA close higher. This is a short pattern setup to short. It did break down to 927.5 and MACD cross up again. So, I cannot really make money from it. The market is moving sideway for Friday. Also no big inst. is coming to hold over weekend position.

Thursday, August 11, 2005

3:21 pm - FKLI hit today high at 936. Trade #17 ready at 937

Wud my stop order be taken ? I wud like the FKLI to prove to me.

Rgds,
-martin-

12:24 pm - Stop triggered at 933.5

Trade #16 is hit with a profit +5 pts.

Preparing for Trade #17 for long position at 937.0 if it does come.

Since Trade #17 is counter trend based on below 50MA. I have to take quick profit for this.

Rgds,
-martin-

12:22 noon - FKLI is forming a bowl shape at 930

Watch for reversing up.

Tightening stop to 933.5 stop.

11:38 am - A pivot is formed at 929

A pivot is formed at 929, to go further downtrend, FKLI has to trend lower past 929.

11:33 am - Trail my stop lower to 934.0

If the FKLI moves up or close to 937.0/937.5, it wud signify the 3 days of downtrend is over and buyers are coming back into the scene.

10:25 am - FKLI hit low of 929 and rebounded

Is this a sign of a rebounding ? If cash mkt close lower, then this is the 3 days consecutive down days - giving a chance for rebounding to go uptrend. Do not trend against odds.

MACD cross up at 3 to 4 days. Either today or Friday is the short term reversal. Still I wud think of going short as long as it is below 50 MA.

Trailing stops at 934.5.

Wednesday, August 10, 2005

10:09 pm - Trade #16 is triggered short @ 938.5

Trade #16 is triggered after 7 bar line change after MACD cross down.

The FKLI is below 50MA. Think of shorting and I believe the FKLI is reversing to long to short.

Tuesday, August 09, 2005

3:53 pm - Trade #15 Stop loss triggered

As soon as the market is opened, my stop is triggered at 948.

Wud call my broker to confirm the setup tomorrow.

Friday, July 29, 2005

11:26 am - FKLI moving sideway

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.
