29 July, Daily Pre-Market Report
Our 2nd profit target for AAPL was hit yesterday, I’m moving our stop up to yesterdays low. S&P e minis re-tested 1100 and are bouncing off this important support level as I write this. A close below this level would be bearish and a close above 1119 Tuesdays high would be bullish. EURAUD is setting up for a short play a break below 1.4336 would be the signal. If you would like to view how... [Read more of this post]

Gold
As the chart below shows Gold has clearly broken a long term trend-line. We have been bullish of Gold for two years, we now have a small “swing” short position which we took when it broke out of the box at 1175 yesterday. It could take weeks or even months for the bulls to take control again as they have several months of strong overhead resistance to overcome. Below is a daily chart for... [Read more of this post]

Dealing with performace anxiety
In my last blog I commented that performance anxiety is the most common psychological problem that I encounter among traders. It can manifest in many different forms; during trading slumps, when traders raise their position size and increase risk, when the need for cash adds too much pressure to individual positions. Bottom line performance anxiety interferes with peak performance. Below are some... [Read more of this post]
27 July, Daily Pre-Market Report $AAPL
The S&P e minis are bid again, if they can hold 1100 this will be bullish. I still like being long of Copper, Steel and Coal companies. I also review AAPL and show why it’s worth buying some in the money Call Options. AAPL held up OK during the last sell off of equities.
