MARKET IN REVIEW - LITE
Monday (05 June 2006)
_____________________

Good morning,

Decent PMT trading, but we didn't get the anticipated
quick flick up Monday. On the other hand, we did get
to practice a very important lesson:

REMEMBER: Trade the Tape, Not my Prognostics!

LOL!

************************


Moveout Monday opens gap-down with a neutral test of Pivot Resistance.
For the next
hour and a half Price Action first drifted down and then gently back
north for a
Pivot retest.

1 = "P", 2-bar/lower high. The candles are a bit small (not as small
as they seem
due to the visual shrinking effect on the charts from the large daily
range, of course),
and the Volume indicates that the BBs are taking an early lunch. This
was a judgment
call. (Not enough oomph for good ole risk-conservative me.)

For those who took the entry:
A = Failed test of MA is a good opportunity to reduce Undefended At
Risk to almost
zero. Per our rules, move profit-locking stop above the MA.

B = Another failed test of MA. Move profit-locking stop above the MA.
I'd feel more
comfortable to move it to "free trade". Again, a judgment call. This
IS a
discretionary trading methodology!

C = Marubozu (full-bodied candle without wicks) slams into the S1. This
is also failed
test of MA. Move profit-locking stop above the MA.

D = Yet another failed test of MA. Move profit-locking stop above the
MA.

2 = The failed test of MA converted to an "S" 123. 13:00 Action Time
Zone. Nice
second chance for the more risk-conservative (me!) to enter the ongoing
move. Those
who were more daring and entered at = 1 would find this confirmation a
good
opportunity to add contracts.

E = Second healthy red candle closes below the S1. Per PMT rules, move
profit-locking
stop above the S1.

F = Failed test of MA. Move profit-locking stop above the MA, or, for
those who entered
on = 2, consider moving profit-locking stop to "free trade".

The Bear charge covers quite some distance on increasing Volume without
affording an
opportunity to tighten our stop.

G = Large Marubozu sumo rips through the S2, slamming against MidW.
DVS (middle chart)
encourages the more aggressive stop movement choice. Move
profit-locking stop above S2.

The DVS turns into a DVS-DVS Reversal, completing with a white Bull
Dragonfly "P".
With the stop so nearby, there is no point getting nervous.

Only question is, will we reverse if the move proves?

NOTE: This turns out to be a good example of why I don't
trust DVS-Signals. In fact, the red DVS was a heroic
assault on the S2 (not a desperate stretch) and Volume
resumes bearish. The charge continues south.

H = Giant red candle through the MidW. Move profit-locking stop above
the MidW
(aggressive choice).

J = Large red spinning top/Failed test of MA. Move profit locking stop
above MA.

K = Large red candle through the S3. DVS (middle chart) and proximity
of EOD hiccup
Danger Time Zone suggest the more aggressive stop movement choice,
above the S3 (which
immediately gets taken out on the next candle! +/-9 points from = 2;
+/-12.25 points
from = 1)

The charge actually continues south, only to finally fail at the 50%
L-T trend
Retracement level (blue line).

PERSPECTIVE
(60-Minute, bottom left chart)

Notice the month-long battle waged around the
50% Retracement level fulcrum (blue line).

(Daily, bottom right chart)

If Tuesday actually bounces at the 50%
(blue line), as it appears to have done in
the early Overnight activity (see the little
white candle starting to form), this will be
another higher low and higher High. A
distinct Bull trend will have been defined
(green trend-channel lines),
in spite of the FED!


REMEMBER: Trade the Tape, Not my Prognostics!

Hey Asher, Next time would you make your chart a little bigger on the
HTML page. Old guys like me have a hard time seeing. :-).

Great work...
Thanks.
