In Mentor Mike’s Market Movies I re-trade about 8 hours of market movement in the S&P Emini in 20 to 30 minutes. When I see a trade setup, I pause the accelerated data feed, identify the entry signals and place the trade on Ninja Trader’s demo platform. Then, I restart the data feed and see how the trade plays out, win or lose.

In this weekly version of M4, I start with a quick review of the charts for each day of the week. Then, I follow up with an in-depth replay of the one day I feel has the most talking points.  I use a 3-target, 150-contract, peeling-off strategy.

Special Saturday morning update: “The Secret Life of Chaos”

On Friday night I recorded a show that looked interesting on the Science Channel – The Secret Life of Chaos.  I watched it Saturday morning before going on my exercise walk and was fascinated.  It is about the development of chaos theory and the fractal geometry of natural systems.  You’ve all heard me talk about the fractal geometry, the self-similarity, of the market.  This program explains the science behind the theory.  If you have a DVR and the Science Channel on your cable or satellite system at home, I recommend you find and record this program for a deeper understanding of these concepts.

This chart is of the ES day session only – 6:30 am to 1:15 pm Pacific time.  It shows the daily HI-LO turning points.  Notice the oscillation.  When the last turning point is a HI one day, the first turning point will be a LO the next day, etc.
