    Once in a while I receive an inquiry how my trading workstation looks like. About my desk setup I mentioned twice already on the site. However it was an old entry. Since then my workstation significantly changed. How it looks like now and what goes where? You will read in this text.

    Over the years my trading position underwent a significant change. When still I traded in the trading office, under supervision of the office’s owner, my position had 2 monitors. Next it has been enlarged to 3 monitors. At that time it was sufficient for me.

    Another shorter week. But all in all, there were some “precious” stocks. Amazing move on LEI, just before New Year’s Eve. LEI moved up almost 320% last week. Also take a look at FXCM charts. I like also CMRX, nice move down. Tomorrow first session in 2016. I wish your great year!

    Welcome to S&P 500 yearly analysis. Last year S&P 500 spike to the all time high. But all in all finished year on red. Charts looks very interesting, especially when we take a look at 2015 yearly candle. Also volume increased last year. Was bigger than in 2014 and also in 2013. But still much lower than <2009.

    Last week market movers. Here you will find some stocks that I’ve been trading, top gainers, review of sectors.

    Very bearish start of 2016. I hope this will continue [​IMG] All sectors down, S&P 500 moves more than 100 points down. Many stocks dropped more than 10% (SSR rule that I hate!). Below you will find some stocks that I traded last week. Also take a look at top gainer (yes there were some). Have a great next week!

    Welcome to S&P 500 analysis. One week after my yearly analysis – and S&P 500 did what I was talking about. Even quicker than I thought. There are still some place for move down – especially watching 1893 and 1867 levels. Below that panic could start.

    Another great week! A lot of nice moves both down and up. Love this market. It was second week that I’ve been implementing some modifications into my strategies. Getting better so I’m satisfied. Below you will find some stocks with entries/exits and recap. Have a great next week!


    You could think that on bearish market I trade only shorts. That is not true. I also open long position. Like to trade both way – it gives more possibility to earn on market. Below a few charts with stocks that I traded:

    Welcome to S&P 500 analysis. 10 sessions and here we are: S&P 500 just tested last year minimum. What is important – was tested on much more higher volume than the average. But take a look at ETF SPY chart – last year low wasn’t tested there. .
    Reminder: tomorrow is Martin Luther King Day – so US Stock Market is closed.
    Below you will find updated charts of S&P 500 – on hourly, daily and weekly interval!
