Timing is Everything for Bears Too ...

My Daily Blog is at: http://investorandtrader.blogspot.com/ My channel at BlogTV is: http://www.blogtv.com/People/Airelon Sometimes I hear from bears ( those with a short bias ) during a bear market: "This market is being manipulated! Why aren't we going down? Why are we up 200 points!" Simply because we've been in a recession or a bear market? Doesn't mean your timing has to fly out the window. It doesn't mean a stock will automatically be a good short. That logic doesn't apply in a bull market for buying, so it wouldn't apply in a bear market for shorting stocks. I discuss that in the following vlog entry ... NOTE: This is not an investment or trading recommendation. The losses in trading can be very real, and depending on the investment vehicle, can exceed your initial investment. I am not a licensed trading or investment adviser, or financial planner. But I do have 12 years of experience in trading and investing in these markets.

Also, they may call the S&P CME SP Pit Traded contract, 'the big contract' or 'the S&P'. The broadcasters are calling the trades within a few feet of the S&P CME SP trading pit and are referring to the S&P CME SP contract. You are hearing the broadcasters quote the current bid and offer of the S&P CME SP pit traded contract - quickly. When they say '0 even bid at one half', that could mean 1280.00 is the bid and 1280.50 is the offer. But could also mean, 1290.00 is the bid and 1290.50 is the offer. They are broadcasting tick for tick and must quote the figures to stay with the pit action. When the pit is packed and active they may just say, '0 at half' or '20 bid at 70'. It is easy to follow along when looking at the ES chart and trades. The prices you SEE in the video are the S&P e-mini (electronic symbol ES) Globex Dec 2008 contract. The prices you HEAR are the S&P CME (pit traded symbol SP) Pit Traded Dec 2008 contract. The two contracts trade within a tick or two of each other, during pit traded hours 8:30 - 15:15 cst. The pit traders are trading the SP and may trade the ES also. When they do, the broadcasters may say 'they're trading the mini' or 'they just sold/bought the mini'.

YM Dec 1, 2008 8:32 cst - Squawk Analyzer TradersAudio.com

Jonathan sells the Globex YM low. http://www.tradersaudio.com/productpage.htm Squawk Analyzer from TradersAudio.com is hosted by veteran trader Jonathan Sirkin. Jonathan is trading the eMini Dow YM, while listening to TradersAudio.com squawk broadcaster Ben Lichtenstein. Squawk Analyzer helps you interpret market information as it develops. Listen to Jonathan draw educated trade decisions from his experience and technical resources. Follow his success. Jonathan trades multiple YM contracts. One third of that size is offset at +5, one third is offset at +10 and the last third is offset as a 'runner', or allowed to make profits with a break even or trailing stop. Jonathan's stop loss is; -5, -10, -20. Jonathan may say 'runner on the table', which means the last third of his contract size is still active. For example; if Jonathan buys 3 YM contracts at 1000, he offsets at 1005, 1010 and the third runs until stopped out at break even (1000) or continues to trail using recent highs/lows and indicators as references. The audio is Jonathan squawking and trading. The chart in the video is not the chart Jonathan uses for trading. Both the video and audio are recorded at another location at the same time. Subscribers of Squawk Analyzer from TradersAudio.com, receive the live audio broadcast of Jonathan squawking and trading. TradersAudio.com provides live streaming audio only.

They are the Average Directional moving Index or ADX (bottom), 8 Exponential Moving Average (green line top) and 21 Exponential Moving Average (blue line top). The ADX is a momentum indicator that tries to measure the strength of the trend in attempt to determine is the market trend or its in sideway movement. The Moving Averages smooth data series and make it easier to spot trends, something that is especially helpful in volatile markets.
