Neutral Days
I said I would report back yesterday and by now you all know that yesterday's Neutral Day went according to Hoyle or rather according to Steidlmayer - after it became neutral (range extension in both directions), it traded back to the middle of the range. This is a powerful piece of information and although neutral days only occur relatively rarely, they are money in the bank for me.
Lots of ways of profiting from this. If the range is big enough then options provide a contained risk without needing a too accurate timing. Using futures as I normaly do requires observation of the change in order flow, usually leaning on a support or resistance counter in the Profile or off the range bar chart.
I have a number of less frequent occurrence pictures in my trading arsenal that I roll out when I recognise them. They add up nicely over the month and provide a good addition to the bottom line. There are plenty of them around and can be found through observation and then testing.
I started trading the DAX this morning, probably the most difficult of markets as it's managed by the big guys. When I switched to the ES later in the morning I was thinking Gap trade way too early and it took a couple of losing trades to bring me to my senses and listen to the market.
I went long just prior to RTH open - Flo was in charge - and enjoyed the pop on the open, scaling out as price climbed. I got a second chance when Flo kicked in again, but this time I called it a day when I exited at the second fav Fib.

ES Today
Creating a trading plan (TP) is the same whether it's for discretionary trading, automated trading or hybrid trading.
Lots of decisions need to be made related to a number of things. One of those things is the rhythm of the trading you expect to do. What sort of peaks and valleys are you going to trade and how are you going to trade them. Are you OK with noy exiting at, say a peak and sitting through the pullback and watching a new peak (Higher High) until you decide to take your profit. Will you scale or not? What will tell you that it's time to exit? What periodicity will you trade?
The epitome of a trading plan is the algo behind an autobot. It's the epitome because the algo has to be so specific and unambiguous. A good thing. Except for one thing: markets' volatility is continually changing, day by day. The day types are different too so you can't trade every day the same.
My answer to that is Hybrid Trading because I can decide to exit a tick or two before the "average" 'bot target or decide to only sell some at the target and put a trailing stop behind the balance. I can stop myself out before the "average" stop of Flo.
But, and it's a very BIG BUT, I need to do this in accordance with written rules so that i can do the same thing consistently. Then why don't I write it into the algo? Because there are many things in the context that I just can't program. So I write it into my own personal TP.
Today's ES was a good day again. The extra RED and CYAN arrows are my overrides today. As you can see, I didn't have too much to do today as my TP was reflected pretty well in Flo. This is because I have programmed my style into the algo. You can see that today was a gap day but Flo managed to trade away from the gap in the beginning, but caught the turn and traded the down swing almost to the Gap close.
As I write this, we have a neutral day. Now I look for the point to buy a neutral day to trade it back into the middle. Hopefully, Flo manages the next part of the trade well. I guess I'll have to wait and see. I'll report tomorrow.

Now available with Google Apps: User Managed Storage
[Cross-posted from the Google Enterprise Blog]
Editor’s note: Last year we launched an improvement that makes over 60 additional Google services available to Google Apps users. This series showcases what’s new and how your organization can benefit.
Welcome to User Managed Storage
As more and more people discover the power and flexibility of creating and collaborating using nothing but the web, an increasing volume of user content is stored in the cloud. As part of our effort to support our users’ move into the cloud, we’re pleased to announce that over the next couple of days we will be making User Managed Storage available to Google Apps customers.
User Managed Storage is a service that has allowed users to purchase more storage space when they fill the allotted quota on their personal Google Accounts. Over the next couple of days, we will be rolling this service out for users of Google Apps accounts as well, allowing the purchase of extra storage for Google Docs, Picasa Web Albums, and photos from Blogger. Any of these products that is over its storage quota can use the extra storage on a first-come, first-served basis. Users that upload lots of files to Google Docs, sync their Office documents to the cloud using Google Cloud Connect for Microsoft Office, or store and share pictures using Picasa or Blogger can now expand the storage space available for these files.
Pricing for this service is the same as for personal Google Accounts:
| Plan | Price |
| 20 GB | $5 USD per year |
| 80 GB | $20 USD per year |
| 200 GB | $50 USD per year |
| 400 GB | $100 USD per year |
| 1 TB | $256 USD per year |
| 2 TB | $512 USD per year |
| 4 TB | $1,024 USD per year |
| 8 TB | $2,048 USD per year |
| 16 TB | $4,096 USD per year |
The User Managed Storage service is enabled or disabled by the domain administrator, and the end user purchases additional storage using his or her Google Checkout account. Additional storage added using User Managed Storage cannot be pooled or transferred to another Google Apps user account and cannot be used for Gmail.
Data stored using User Managed Storage is subject to the same ownership policy as other data in the Google Apps account.
Learn more and get started
User Managed Storage can be enabled by your domain administrator from the Google Apps Control Panel at https://www.google.com/a/[your_domain.com] (replace [your_domain.com] with your actual domain name). Note that the Google Checkout service must also be enabled to allow end users to purchase additional storage. If your organization isn’t using Google Apps yet, you can learn more and sign up today at http://www.google.com/apps/more.
For more information please take a look at our Help Center.
We continue to work to enable Google Apps users to be more productive using nothing but the web. Sign up to be notified when additional storage features become available.
Note: User Managed Storage may not be available in all areas. A Google Checkout account is required to purchase User Managed Storage and Google Checkout must be enabled by the domain administrator.
Two Gaps a Day
....Makes EL a happy trader.
The chart on the left below is the ESTX50 future and the right is the ES RTH Profile. The first chart starts at 7am London time while the ES starts 7 1/2 hours later. But look at history repeating itself.
In both cases the market opened above the previous day's profile, found resistance - a line I drew before trading began - and failed there, giving a wonderful ride down.
These are trades that can be played many ways in terms of trade management. There were enough re-entries using the range bar charts to allow you to ride the move, providing an above average green day. Double Gaps don't happen many times a month but when they do it's useful to take advantage of them, as they will lift your Average Trade size which is important for your stats.
Again, a vision is important, even if it's wrong. If what you expect to happen doesn't, that tells you a lot.
