What I Learned From The 2011 World Series

When I look back on the 2011 World Series there is one thing that stands out in my mind and I think I will always remember it long after I remember which teams played and which world series it was. It wasn't Albert Pujols three home runs in game 3, something that had only been done before by Babe Ruth and "Mr. October" himself, Reggie Jackson.

While Pujols' display of power was amazing what will stick with me is an on field interview with Lance Berkman, yes that's right, Lance Berkman, after he hit a game tying single in the bottom of the 10th inning of game 6 when St. Louis was down to their final strike. The reporter asked Lance "what's the approach in that spot - what are you looking to do" and Lance replied "Just not try to do too much...I think the tendency there is to over swing...my mentality was just have a good, tough at bat and whatever happens you can be proud of the effort." 

How does this apply to trading? I think the similarities are obvious but when you put the focus on results based goals (P/L) it brings added and unnecessary pressure to perform which in all likely hood usually leads to under performance. If the focus is on process based goals, ie "trading smart and trading well" it decreases pressure and reduces performance anxiety which is more likely to lead to an increase in performance.

For further evidence of how process based goals are preferable to performance based goals refer to the work of  Dr. Brett Steenbarger. Dr. Brett is a big proponent of process based goals.

After a little searching I found the clip on YouTube. I was going to embed it in this post but ESPN has embedding removed. Enjoy.

Bears want to hold price below this TS # for rotation lower. 11943 - 11922 range long. This is initial support heading into Tuesday session. 11863 highest odds long FTD. This area is important for bulls to defend if  they want to push market higher now. 11825 TS # (and bottom of the 11863 - 11825 range long from Monday) was the RTH low on Monday. This is the last line of defense for the bulls heading into Tuesday session. Failure to hold here and can target 11715 minimum and start looking for further push to 11568 - 11559 test and ultimately 11487 or lower.

YM: 11863 - 11837 highest odds short FTU. 11736 - 11727 range short. 11480 - 11424 zone to find range long. 11336 - 11322 highest odds long FTD. 11225 - 11174 extreme long. The 11368 - 11322 zone is important still as a decider of direction. Keep in mind we closed Friday inside the 11568 - 11559 highest odds short from Thursday/Friday. I am interested to see how we react to this area on Sunday's open.

YM: 11368 TS # and into old 11371 TS # were key in Thursday session. That and 11336 and into the old 11330 TS #. This zone is important to me in Friday session giving clear areas to want to test above and below.  Above we have 11447, 11474 - 11486 as range shorts. 11568 - 11459 is still the highest odds short FTU.  And then 11727 - 11736 is an extreme short. 11225 - 11173 is key support below us and the range long. The 11046 +/- 20 ticks area is important under that and then 10945 - 10882 is the highest odds long FTD.

Instrument Contract Notes : Big Ideas for each Instrument

Equity: Was expecting doji's on Friday and to be able to fade the extreme and that is what we got. Monday anything goes. After 3 up days followed by a doji I am expecting the dip to be bought in the zones below but the onus is on the bulls to show up and buy it.

YM: 10945 - 10930 first spot to consider long. 10882 - 10835 and into 10809 second area to look for long. 11196 - 11226 zone for highest odds short FTU. 11330 - 11321 extreme short. Watch the 11173 TS # as well. This was high in Friday session.

YM ES 6E CL Premium Contract Notes - Friday October 7, 2011

TraderSmarts Premium Numbers for the YM ES 6E CL - Friday October 7, 2011
 
*****Below are the Contract Notes ONLY I have not included the TS #'s for reason stated below*****

Instrument Contract Notes : Big Ideas for each Instrument

Equity: We have Three White Soldiers on the daily ES and YM and it would make sense to have a pause on the daily before deciding direction. With NFP I am expecting early wide swings followed by constriction of the range. Likely we get a doji on the day. I will be looking to fade extremes on either side of Thursday's close for a reversion back to the mean. Expectation is for the close on Friday to be at or near Thursday's close to slightly higher (possibly into 1164.5 on the ES).

YM: Seek long in the 10882 - 10835 zone for a move up into 11226 - 11196 short zone or seek short in 11196 - 11226 short zone FTU for move back to 11046 minimum. 11330 - 11321 extreme short.

ES: Seek short 1176.5 - 1171.75 FTU for move back to 1158.5 TS #. Two zones to stalk long (really one big zone) 1141.25 - 1133.75 and then 1133.75 - 1127. Stalk long in buy zone for move up into short zone.

6E: 1.3382 key line in the sand. Seek long first in the 1.3349 - 1.3307 zone and if we dip lower in the 1.3286 - 1.3275 zone for move back up into 1.3498 - 1.3525 short zone. If we move up first seek short in the 1.3498 - 1.3525 short zone for move back to 1.3382 TS #. 1.3563 extreme short. Keep in mind that 1.3474 - 1.3552 is an important obstacle FTU.

CL: Seek long in the 81.14 - 80.69 buy zone for move back up into 83.94 - 83.88 short zone. Seek short in the 83.94 - 83.88 short zone for move back down into 81.14 - 80.69 buy zone.

*****I was going to include the Premium TraderSmarts Numbers for each instrument here but we have TS #'s way outside of the current trading range and it wouldn't be fair to members if I posted those for all to see - I will post some charts later showing TS #'s in the current trading range*****

This is what I have been thinking: I am expecting these extreme short areas to be hit eventually before a new leg down. As I have been saying on Twitter I think 8/31 highs get taken out before 8/22 lows. Nothing is set in stone though so be prepared to trade what is present.

With the sell off on Wednesday I am not ruling the above out but it definitely threw a kink in things. Trade what you see - not what you think. # 1 rule is always "Anything can happen at any time and probably will"

YM: 11146 is line in the sand. 11173 highest odds short FTU. 11125 - 11100 range short. 10842 highest odds long FTD. 10647 - 10627 extreme long. 10731 important FTD.

Again, not much change in equity. I am expecting these extreme short areas to be hit eventually before a new leg down. As I have been saying on Twitter I think 8/31 highs get taken out before 8/22 lows. Nothing is set in stone though so be prepared to trade what is present. FOMC announcement today.

YM: 11330 - 11326 is line in the sand for Wednesday session. 11863 - 11837 extreme short. 11568 - 11539 highest odds short FTU. The 11539 - 11474 zone is extremely significant FTU. 11474 first part of zone topped the market on Tuesday. 11146 highest odds long FTD. 11278 is range long.

Q & A - About the 5 Day Free Trial to the Live Intraday Trade Alerts

I have been getting some questions and thought I would do my best to answer all of them here for convenience. If I have left anything off please let me know. Thanks!

If you are already ready to get started - click here now:
http://bit.ly/oGCCnQ

Some Q & A about the 5 Day Free Trial to the Live Intraday Trade Alerts

Q. Can I sign up for the trial if I have already done a trial before?
A. Yes. You can do as many trials as you wish. There is no limit!

Q.  Will I get any type of confirmation that I have been accepted for the trial?
A.  After completing ALL 3 easy steps I will approve your follow request for @TSTRADES and you should start seeing the tweets. That is your confirmation. If you decide to remain a member after the trial period then you will get a confirmation welcome email, etc.

Q.  What is the best way to see the trade alerts?
A. I prefer using TweetDeck. www.tweetdeck.com. You can set up a separate column for @TSTRADES from within TweetDeck.

Q. How many markets do you trade?
A. We trade nine markets. The YM, ES, NQ, 6E, CL, ZN, ZB, GC, and SI. For equity I tend to focus on the YM but there will be trades in ES and NQ on occasion. After that 6E and CL, and then SI, GC, ZN, and ZB in about that order.

Q. Why do you prefer the YM to the ES?
A. Three reasons. 1) I know it and am extremely familiar with it. While the moves may be a little more whippy because the underlying is made up of 30 equities instead of 500 like the ES, it is also easier to keep track of 30 equities over 500. 2) Liquidity. It is easier to get a fill on the bid/ask. The ES is SO liquid that I am usually never filled on the bid/ask. If I am the high or low of a move in the YM (and that does happen with the TS #'s) then it is more likely I will get a fill. 3. Better spreads. For the same $50 dollar move there is only 4 ticks in the ES vs. 10 ticks in the YM.

Q. What is the best way to utilize the trial?
A. I suggest taking the alerts on the SIM. That way you can get an idea of performance. Never risk real $$ when you are unsure of another person's strategy and style. If you can, have a DOM up for each of the instruments we trade and at least one chart of each instrument. That will be beneficial and will help you visualize the trades I am taking.

Q.  Can I see some of the trades that you have taken before the trial?
A. Yes. You can see ALL of them. Feel free to scroll back in the Twitter feed at www.twitter.com/TSTRADES and look at the previous trades we have taken.You can scroll all the way back to the inception of the alerts in October 2010 if you want.

Q. What else do I need to know.
A. I think that's about it but if I think of something else I will add it here. If you have any additional questions shoot me an email or a tweet and I will answer them as fast as possible.

Sports, Trading, and the Psychology of Improvement.

Trading is a lot like athletics. All good traders and all good athletes are constantly trying to improve and perfect their game. If you are not working on getting better than by default you are either getting worse or stagnating at best. And if you stagnate long enough eventually the game will surpass you.

"In the confrontation between the stream and the rock, the stream always wins - not through strength but by perseverance" - H. Jackson Brown

Sports change. Athletes change. The game gets faster and harder, players get younger and stronger. Markets and participants change in the same way.

Jerry Rice was arguably the greatest receiver of all time and his off season workout routines were the stuff of legend. Nobody worked harder than Jerry at becoming better. Michael Jordan is the greatest basketball player of all time thanks in large part to his "Breakfast Club" workouts. All great players know that it takes hard work to become great.

"Everybody has talent, but ability takes hard work" - Michael Jordan

Lately I have been working on a complete overhaul in my trading. The reason I am doing this is not because what I have been doing my entire career suddenly stopped working. It is because I think I can become better. It is the constant quest for improvement.

"The principle is competing against yourself. It's about self-improvement, about being better than you were the day before" - Steve Young

For my entire career I have been a fader. Either fading what I perceive to be an extreme or fading a pullback in the direction of the dominant trend. I have become adapt at identifying potential turning points in the market. It is not uncommon for one of the TS #'s to be the high or low of a move. So while I can consistently get the turns I am missing out on a lot of the "middle" of the market. The part that a lot of traders like to call the sweet spot of the trade.

You often hear traders say "I don't care about picking the top or the bottom - I just want to capture the meat of the move" or something to that effect. Often times with my style of trading I miss out on a lot of the meat of the move.

So I have been working on incorporating momentum into my trading.

So far I am not seeing the results I expect. That's okay. I am going to keep working on it. Eventually it will pay off. Change doesn't happen over night. Rome wasn't built in a day. In the long run I am confident that these changes I am incorporating will only make me a better trader.

"If you do the work you get rewarded. There are no shortcuts in life" - Michael Jordan

Why did Tiger Woods change his swing after he had just won the 1997 Masters by a record 12 shots? To get better of course. But what happened first was he got "worse" or so it seemed. He only won a single tournament in 1998 and appeared to be in a serious slump. Change, however, takes time.

In 1999 Tiger won 8 tournaments including the PGA Championship. He ended 1999 winning the last 4 tournaments of the season. Then in 2000 he won his first two starts making it six wins in a row. In 2000 he went on to dominate the sport winning three Majors: the U.S. Open, the British Open, and the PGA Championship. And he placed 5th in the Masters. He also won the Canadian Open (something the great Jack Nicklaus never did). He ended the 2000 season with 9 PGA Tour wins including 3 of the 4 Majors.

The swing changes appeared to be paying off!

In 2001 the dominance continued. He won the Masters, effectively completing what is now known as the "Tiger Slam". He finished the 2001 season with 5 PGA Tour wins. In 2002 he won 5 PGA Tour events including two Majors: The Masters and the U.S. Open.

But then in 2003 he "only" won 5 PGA Tour events but no Majors. In 2004 he only won 1 PGA Tour event but no Majors. What was the problem and why was Woods "slumping" again?

It just so happened he was in the middle of another swing overhaul!

What happened next? Tiger went on to dominate the sport once again. In 2005 he won 6 PGA Tour events including 2 Majors. In 2006 he won 8 PGA Tour events including 2 Majors. In 2007 he won 7 PGA Tour events including 1 Major and then in 2008 he won 4 PGA Tour events including 1 Major. In 2009 he won 6 PGA Tour events but no Majors then in late 2009 we all know what happened.

In 2010 he didn't win a single tournament and is win-less in 2011 as well missing tournaments and not playing in Major championships for the first time. Apparently he is injured and is undergoing more swing changes. He has always said his goal was to beat Jack Nicklaus' 18 career Majors. Tiger has 5 wins to go. We'll see what happens.

"The will to win is important, but the will to prepare is vital" - Joe Paterno

When Tiger was in the middle of one of his major swing overhauls he didn't expect the results to be immediate. The media constantly questioned him as to what was "wrong" but he knew what he was doing. In fact most people thought he was crazy for changing up a swing that had won the Masters by 12 strokes. When he started his second swing overhaul there were even more naysayers.

Tiger however had formulated a plan and was working through it. He could see the bit by bit progress he was making when the results to the outside world appeared to be negative. When he was sucking balls in tournament play he would say things like "Well I'm really happy with the way I'm swinging the club". Some people in the media accused him of being delusional. Tiger had a vision for the end result before anybody else could see it. He knew that positive change would surely come with time and perseverance.

I feel the same way with the overhaul I am making in my trading.

Yoig Berra once said: "Slump? I ain't in no slump. I just ain't hitting!"

That's the way I feel.

Adapt or die!

The 12430 TS # has been absolutely amazing support the last 2 days (in the cash session). We flushed through that a/h on the Moody's news. I would think a FTU test of the 12430 would be a good opportunity for a short. The 12337 TS # which was range long on Tuesday held (to the tick) for the Moody's news. If this gives way I think we can use 12198 as the eventual target with support at range long 12278 important along the way.

Happy 4th of July!!!

A little more than two hundred years ago our forefathers took up arms and laid down their lives to provide us the freedom we now call our own.

Do we truly appreciate it? Are we grateful? Do we remember?

As traders we experience another type of freedom. Freedom from the 9-5. Freedom from bosses and set schedules. In 24 hour markets we can pick and choose where we work and when we work. If we don't feel like coming in for the day that is our prerogative. We answer to no one but ourselves and our own P/L. Don't take it for granted.

You often here me saying we trade for freedom not to be a slave to the screens. The lifestyle that this profession provides is second to none. I hear people talking about living, eating, and breathing the markets. That's great and I love the market too but don't give up your freedom to make the market your master.

There is yet another freedom that we can experience and that is freedom in Christ. When Jesus died on the cross for us he set us free from sin and death. He made it possible for us to live the abundant life. Over 150 years before America was formed the Pilgrims fled religious persecution in England and ended up in what would eventually become America in search of religious freedom. We can freely worship God in the way we choose because of the freedoms that our forefathers gave us. In America that includes whatever faith you choose to practice not just Christianity. Don't take it for granted.

While we eat our BBQ and visit with our family and friends and set off fireworks this 4th of July let's remember the real reason we celebrate today. Let's remember those who gave their lives many years ago so that we could enjoy the freedom that this great country provides. And let's give special thanks to God for giving us the ultimate freedom - freedom in Christ.

Have a happy, safe, and prosperous 4th of July!

Happy Independence Day!
