Trading Emini Sp, YM NQ ER with No indicators Part 1 of a new series from
www.Acetrades.com

There are plenty of technical indicators used by traders in different
combinations. Many of them are very sophisticated and computers make it easy
to watch them in real time. However, Price Action with no indicators is a
truly universal method that can be learned with a little study, and we
suggest it as a base for any other method traders like. Sophisticated
indicators based on complicated calculations tend to somewhat mask the
reality of a scenario happening, While price action goes right to the roots
of the Market action. This is necessary for newer traders.

Like no other method, Price Action deals with reality itself allowing
traders to see market moving forces in action and to judge which one
prevails at that moment. It provides us with a look into what other players
try to hide and then allows us to separate reality from our perception. The
best example of this is as old as the Wall Street situation of "selling on
news". There are numerous examples of "XYZ is selling on such a great news."
Price Action shows why and how it happens. This tells you when you should
expect non-conventional action on the in the market and how to exploit it.

Price Action deals with two major categories of market players. They are the
Smart Money and the Public. You can replace these old terms with any pair
you like (big guys and small time traders, insiders and online traders,
institutions and retail traders, etc). However, the core of market events is
the same. Ace Price action is a method of analyzing which side is doing what
at that moment. Analysis is done by observing the only, and ultimately,
truthful indicators of Price Action on the Scale.

.

What Price Action does

It puts probability on your side as it allows you to read the truth to the
extent it can be read, putting as few "interpreters" between you and reality
as possible.

It allows you to develop a detached state of mind that a side observer
possesses. The state of mind that traders want to experience is when they
look at market action with no emotions, seeing clearly what happens. This is
in direct conflict with cloudy judgment of emotionally involved traders with
formed opinions that could be right or wrong, but in any case has nothing to
do with reality.

Dirk was on the West Coast when he got the call. An old
friend at the Toronto police department thought he would like
to fly up and take a look at a homicide which had occurred
the previous evening. He decided to skip the last day at the
World Holistics conference and take the next plane out of
San Francisco.

The flight was bad; Dirk had been hit on the back of the head
by the Newspaper trolley, the drinks trolley, the dinner trolley
and now the gift trolley. When the hostesses weren’t trying to
tear his arm off they pestered him to stop leaning into the aisle
– ignoring the fact that the guy next to him was taking up one and
 a half seats. Air Canada used to be the flight which was so
good you just didn’t wanna get off – on this occasion Dirk
would be glad to see the back of the plane and the over sized
alternative comedian wedged into the window seat.

After breathing in a couple of lungfulls of crisp Canadian air
Dirk took a taxi into town. There was a small group of
demonstrators outside the MacDonalds and the taxi driver
insisted on stopping on the opposite side of the street. ‘Don’t
Eat Meat’ the placards read and the demonstrators chanted. A
couple of policemen where stopping the crowd entering the
restaurant itself – one held up his arm and challenged Dirk. A
wave of the fax he had been sent and the policeman pushed
open the door.

There were few customers in the restaurant. Not surprising
really with a demonstration going on outside, half the dining
area roped off with tape and a dead body seated at one of the
tables. ‘Mr Gently sir’ the officer in charge called out as he
peeled one end of the tape off a column ‘We were told not to
touch anything til’ you got here’.

The body of the man slumped awkwardly in a chair. Then
even a dead body would start getting uncomfortable in a
MacDonalds chair after twenty minutes – and this one had
been there for at least eighteen hours. Two back legs and the
tail of a cat hung out of the man’s gaping mouth. Dirk turned
to the officer, ‘I suppose you are going to tell me this is the
darndest thing you ever saw?’

‘Ain’t this the darnd…’. The officer seemed annoyed that Dirk
had second guessed him. ‘We’re removing the body in a few
minutes, so if you can get through as quick as possible’

‘Many people eat cats in fast food restaurants?’ Dirk asked
and without waiting for an answer leant over the table to pick
up an untouched burger. ‘And what’s this?’ he asked waving
it in front of the officers face.

‘It’s a Vedgie Burger’ The waitress, who was cleaning one of
the adjacent tables, shouted across. She walked over to Dirk.
‘We started doing them because of that lot out there’ she
nodded towards the protesters who were pressing there faces
against the windows ‘They’re called Linda McCartney Vedgie
burgers – ever heard of them?’

Dirk suddenly felt faint, perhaps a combination of hunger and
jet lag. ‘This is deja vu all over again’ he thought to himself.
He glanced at policemen – at the badge on his shoulder ‘OPD’
but this wasn’t Ontario this was Toronto. OPD – Officially
Pronounced Dead. It dawned on Dirk what was happening, he
knew what he would see if he looked out of the window. Sure
enough, there it was, the Volkswagen Beetle parked across
the road – number plate 28IF – 28 IF Paul McCartney had
lived. And amongst the lyrics of the song blaring out into the
restaurant he could pick out the words ‘I buried Paul’. Now it
was though Dirk was viewing the whole scene though a TV
screen. This was conspiracy. Not -a- conspiracy, or -the-
conspiracy, but just plain conspiracy.

‘You look faint – are you OK mister? The waitress asked.

Dirk shook his head ‘Probably a bit hungry’ Then to
economise on dialogue took out a pack of cigarettes and held
it out towards the girl. She was about to take one but Dirk
snatched the pack away, held it up to his mouth and drew out
two cigarettes. He lit both then passed one of them to the girl.
It was the closest he had come to a sexual encounter in three
months.

‘Want a Burger?’ the waitress asked.

Dirk looked down at the Vedgie Burger on the table. ‘No
thanks – just a plate of fries’

The waitress walked away and Dirk looked around the room.
Apart from a family seated in the far corner there was only
one other person in the restaurant – and he wasn’t eating. The
guy was about mid twenties and had straggling, shoulder
length hair. On the table in front of him were lots of pieces of
paper cut into squares. Every so often he would pick up a
camcorder and pan it around the room and then, when he was
finished, speak into a microphone which was attached to a
tape recorder. Dirk walked over to where the man was sitting.

The small pieces of paper had paragraphs of text written on
them and were stuck to the top of table with blobs of mustard.
Lines had been drawn, some solid some dotted, on the table
top with a marker pen. The lines ran from one piece of paper
to another.

‘What are the lines for?’ Dirk asked, realising straight away
that ‘What the hell are you doing?’ would be more
appropriate.

‘You see’ The man replied nervously ‘The dotted lines are
weak links and the solid lines are strong links. The dotted
lines are things which are happening in the rest of the world
and the solid lines are things which are happening to me. Now
you see I draw over a dotted line, replacing it with a solid line,
when I can link something back to me. Like this’ The pen
squeaked over the Formica and before Dirk could interrupt
the man added. ‘You see I lost my short term memory and, as
a consequence have a very short attention span. I write down,
record and film everything then put it all together later’

‘So’ Dirk interrupted. ‘You filmed what happened here?’

‘Yes, yes, it’s here on this tape’ The man pushed the cassette
across the table. On the label the words ‘Grassy Knoll’ had
been crossed through and replaced with ‘MacDonalds’.

Suddenly the man sprung from his seat. Dirk turned and saw
that the body was being removed on a stretcher. As it passed
the man picked a small object off the edge of the stretcher
itself. ‘This is important’ he said, laying a blood stained bullet
on one of the small pieces of paper on the table.

Suddenly the room was filled with a deafening throbbing
sound as a Black Helicopter landed in the street outside. Two
men in United Nations uniforms got out and collected the
stretcher. Back at the table the long haired man was replacing
all the dotted lines with solid ones. Dirk panicked and began
to walk backwards at some speed. Barging through the swing
doors he stumbled into the kitchen, tripped and felt himself
sink slowly into a large vat.

‘The guys fallen into the batter’ Dick heard someone shout
before he sunk below the surface. He came to sitting in a chair
with the batter solidifying all over his body. He surveyed the
room through two eye-holes someone had cut. Suddenly the
chair on which he was sitting was picked up carried through
the restaurant and out of the building. As the chair was being
lifted and put into the back of a van, Dirk caught a glimpse of
the waitress following him. ‘Your fries mister, your
plate o…’.

The doors of the van shut and Dirk tried desperately to steady
himself as it sped across town. Eventually the doors flew open
and Dirk was flung into the road at which point the solidified
batter shattered and set him free. Standing up he found
himself outside the international departures terminal of
Toronto airport.

In the departure lounge Dirk had time to reflect on the day’s
events. He had got caught up in the conspiracy theories and
the haphazard welding together of pieces of irrelevant
information. It was time to catch the person who was
operating the  bizarre cognitive engine which appeared in
front of him like a fairground mirror, distorting any flaw it
could find in his own, fragile, map of the real world.

Dirk leant into the aisle of the plane as it took off for London.
The oversized person next to him swung his arms violently as
he complained about every thing from the supper in a plastic
tray to the state of British politics. With a shaven head and a
badly fitting suit the man looked as though he could have
worked behind the reception desk of the Kremlin. However
when he spoke he did so in a Liverpudlian accent. ‘Me I
blame the Con-serv-a-tive government, me. The Tour-rees.
That-cher. Me. They need a good kicking’ He jerked his feet
forward and struck the seat in front with his Doc Martins.
‘With these. Me Doc Martins. Doctor Martin’s, Doctor
Martin’s, Doctor Martin’s Booots!’ The phrase was now
being sung over and over again as the man writhed in his seat
and clicked his fingers.

Dirk looked down at the boots and thought of the reaction
most people used to deal with the paranoids at the end of the
wire. A nice quick kick. ‘Oi nutter – get some therapy’. This is
the easy way out and perhaps the safest. After all there you
are sat, alone, in front of the screen. No body language
between you some paranoid. No way of telling if he really is
some gibbering psycho. Look at it too long and you be drawn
in. Fall into the tangled database of weird links with him. Who
knows he may be watching you, reassembling and linking your
experiences with his. How sure are you of you own cognitive
threads. After all cognition is only a bug fix for a neurological
system which was designed in a hurry – it’s abused by
everyone from politicians to advertisers. If people really can
convince each other that a bottle of washing up liquid is as
exciting as an orgasm using just television God knows what
they can do with a computer. Better to avoid the risk. A swift
kick. After all if you’re Homophobic you put

Developers in Hawaii often are hampered by rabid environmentalists.
———————–
Ka’u preservationists have ally

Gov. Lingle supports government purchase of much of Punaluu area

by Alan Schnepf
Tribune-Herald Staff Writer
Opponents of a proposed 1,500-unit development in Ka’u met Friday with
Mayor Harry Kim, but could not get him to commit to their side of the
issue.

The opponents, who go under the moniker Ka’u Preservation, presented
Kim with what they said were 3,500 signatures on a petition against the
project. More than 900 of the signatures were from residents of Ka’u,
said Danny Miller, the group’s media director.

If approved, Sea Mountain’s 1,200 homes, mostly condominiums, would be
the biggest project ever built on the east side of the Big Island. Its
owners — including Robert Iwamoto, owner of tour operator Roberts
Hawaii, and Clyde Kaneshiro of Honolulu Disposal Service — also want
to build a 300-room hotel on the 434-acre site. Plans also call for
retail space.

The developers say the project would be built in an ecologically
conscious fashion and signed on Jean-Michel Cousteau as a consultant.

But the location and scale of Sea Mountain has outraged opponents, who
say it will imperil endangered species, damage cultural sites and
expose the small beach to overuse. The black sand beach at Punaluu is a
prized resting area for Hawksbill turtles and already gets about 1,000
visitors a day, opponents of the project said.

Ka’u Preservation wants the 434 acres of land purchased and set aside
as a cultural preserve with a cultural center, classes, visitors’
programs and other amenities. Miller estimated that the land would cost
around $15 million to $17 million. The group believes it can pull
together the funding with help from a county land fund for purchasing
open space and park land.

"It’s going to steal the heart and soul of Ka’u if this gets
developed," said Ron Self, an attorney for the group.

Kim said he could not think of anybody who would oppose protecting the
land, but thought a cultural preserve might be too ambitious a project
for anyone besides the National Park Service.

"I cannot tell you … I will support the entire purchase of this
land," he said.

Gov. Linda Lingle, however, has seemed a little warmer to the idea of
purchasing the land.

"I believe the Punaluu Black Sand Beach Ahupua’a on the Big Island of
Hawaii is, in its natural state, an essential part of the Big Island,"
she wrote in a Dec. 26 letter to Ka’u Preservation. "The endangered
species and Hawaiian cultural sites of this area merit the strongest
form of protection."

Lingle encouraged the group to consider the state’s Legacy Land
Conservation Program in addition to county funding.

Ka’u Councilman Bob Jacobson and state Rep. Bob Herkes, D-Ka’u, South
Kona, also said they are against the development.

Kim said he has no position on the matter yet, because a formal
proposal has not yet been made to Hawaii County. He said he has seen
previous development battles create severe rifts between people, even
among family members. No matter what happens, Kim told the opponents
not to let that happen.

"I have only one request from this meeting: Let us not be guilty of
making wars," he said. "If you think you can be 100 percent satisfied,
forget it. That means you feel it’s your way or the highway."
