The Trading Tutor's Daily Commentary November 17, 2014 Daily Commentary by: Arthur Ullrich The Trading Tutor™ 21st year of Service to Day Traders www.TradeTutor.com Futures Contract: @ES.D e-Mini S&P 500 Monday, November 17, 2014 Volume XXI The intent of the Daily Commentary is to discuss the facts, technical analysis, and structure of the price action, configuration of indicators, entry signals, targets, lowrisk stop placement, stop movements and exits. With repetitious exposure to a disciplined approach in this short term low-risk trading strategy, the reader should be able to understand the methodology and learn to apply it independently. The online Lesson Series contains much of the basis of the strategy, and the Daily Commentary presents a chronology of the implementation. Each day the Commentary is explained on Video with students present, The students ask questions and responses are recorded for all to review. The Video Commentary is maintained on the web site for all students. The Pre-Market Report is a separate report looking back on the prior trading session and applying technical analysis to establish expectations for the next session while including analysis results important for the next trading session and beyond. All times shown are Eastern. “The most important thing about goals is having one.” 5 Minute Chart @ES Continuous Contract S&P 500.

Information contained in the Manual and Commentary is intended for instructional purposes only and is to explain the observations and judgment that goes into making a trade determination by the commentator regarding trades being considered for the commentator’s own accounts. Such trades being considered for or executed in the commentator’s own accounts may be, and often are, of different size (number of contracts) than those shown. All information is believed to be reliable but its accuracy cannot be guaranteed. As part of this course, the published materials from The Trading Tutor and its principals and participants do not constitute a recommendation that the Student should buy or sell S&P 500 Futures, or any futures, commodities or options contract. Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results. The risk of loss is substantial in futures trading; you should therefore carefully consider whether such trading is suitable for you in light of your financial condition. You should read, understand and consider the Risk Disclosure Statement that is provided as required by the CFTC by all commodities brokers before you open a commodity trading account. On trades shown in the Commentary there may be a risk and/or probability assessment. This assessment is a subjective evaluation of that trade based on many factors present at the time and is intended for instructional purposes only. It does not mean that the same signal will render the same risk evaluation and can not be used on future trades without a complete evaluation of all conditions at the time. Prior to entering any trade the individual trader must make and then rely on their own risk evaluation, with the understanding and in the context that all futures trades are high risk. There are days or times when the trades and/or observations shown in the Commentary are created in retrospect (these trades are clearly so labeled). The following disclaimer is required by the CTFC and may apply: HYPOTHETICAL OR SIMULATED PERFORMANCE RESULTS HAVE CERTAIN INHERENT LIMITATIONS UNLIKE AN ACTUAL PERFORMANCE RECORD, SIMULATED RESULTS DO NOT REPRESENT ACTUAL TRADING. ALSO, SINCE THE TRADES HAVE NOT BEEN EXECUTED, THE RESULTS MAY HAVE UNDER OR OVER COMPENSATED FOR THE IMPACT, IF ANY, OF CERTAIN MARKET FACTORS, SUCH AS LACK OF LIQUIDITY. SIMULATED TRADING PROGRAMS IN GENERAL ARE ALSO SUBJECT TO THE FACT THAT THEY ARE DESIGNED WITH THE BENEFIT OF HINDSIGHT. NO REPRESENTATION IS BEING MADE THAT ANY ACCOUNT WILL OR IS LIKELY TO ACHIEVE PROFITS OR LOSSES SIMILAR TO THOSE SHOWN. Nothing in this Course Manual or accompanying/supplementary Commentary is intended as an encouragement to trade. Only the trader can make that decision based on an informed, objective evaluation of market activity and charting characteristics. Again, the purpose of the Commentary is to explain the observations and judgment that goes into making a trade determination by the commentator regarding trades being considered for the commentator’s own accounts. Because the market environment is dynamic the trader must be prepared to exercise flexibility as well as sound judgment and skill. That judgment and skill may take many months or years to develop. Because of the financial risk associated with trading the reader is advised to achieve consistent positive paper-trading and simulated trading results before assuming any financial risk inherent in actual trading in the market place. Any and all trades entered into by the Student are at the Student’s total discretion and risk. ™ Trade marks are owned by Arthur H. Ullrich and the Trading Tutor L.L.C.
