ES EminiMore on the Scalping Style of Trading

There are a variety of trading styles that traders employ, some with great success, others with less than satisfactory results. My style of trading, scalping, is a direct reflection of my personality, experience and emotional disposition. ES Emini traders who scalp typically stay in trades for five minutes or less, or longer, if need be.

My views on the way the market functions precludes me from making long term committments to a given market direction. Market prognostication is an inexact science, at best, and most economists and traders have a miserable track record of predicting the future direction of market movement. So, I don't even try. I suspect I would be as poor at predicting futures market direction as the experts.

As a adherent to portions of chaos theory, I believe there is a level of randomness to the market, which makes it less than predictable in the long term. I do believe that certain means can be employed, and probabilities analyzed that will allow a trader to get an idea of what the market may do in the next ten minutes, though. Chaos theory is about small patterns, called fractals, that exist in a far larger random pattern. I take advantage of those smaller patterns and try to pull two or three points (on both the long or short side of a position), and then exit with my small prize. Of course, if I find myself in a continuing trend, I may push my profit limits higher to take advantage of the trend. By and large, though, I am looking for two or three points.

A casual glance at any intraday chart will show an undulating wave pattern that is the basis for scalping. I try to identify the starting point of a wave and exit the trade when the little spurt of momentum stops. Of course, there are days when the market trends in one direction, not often, and on those days I may take a position and hold until my comfort level erodes and I am ready to take a profit.

When you are in a winning trade, you never lose money by exiting the trade. Sure, maybe the trade angled upwards another two points and you did not participate in that price action, but I am still content with my three points.

Never let a winning trade become a losing trade. Take that to the bank because it is a common mistake by a legion of traders.

On the ES Emini contact I set my stops fairly tight, usually a 12 tick bracket and never adjust my stop lower to accommodate a lousy trade. If I am wrong, I am wrong. My goal is to find another trade that is profitable.

I don't hold trades overnight, and I don't set up trades and walk away. The scalping style requires constant attention to the trade at hand, and this requirement makes it an unpopular choice for traders who don't care to spend a lot of time at the computer. You will be spending time watching charts looking for trades, and once you are in a trade it is important to monitor the trade.

In baseball terms, scalpers are singles hitters. Nothing more. We may hit an occasional home run, but the is the exception, not the rule. The goal of a scalper is to extra small chunks 5-8 times a day from the market.

Aqua Vino invites aquarium guests to sip and stare

At the Georgia Aquarium's fourth annual Aqua Vino event Thursday, guests might raise a glass to Mojo, a teenage painter who uses her feet as brushes. Mojo's framed canvas work will be auctioned off for charity at the wine and food-filled event benefiting the Correll Center for Aquatic Animal Health, where she is a regular. After all, this petite painter is an African penguin.

Guests can see Mojo and nearly 50,000 of her animal friends during the event, which features more than 200 wines and food from 33 Atlanta restaurants. And with the night-time event open to just 1,100 ticket-holders, guests won't have to shuffle for space to see all that's swimming, swirling and sliding inside.

Event organizers aim to attract people beyond the regular tourist and family groups. Foodies, wine enthusiasts, and working professionals too busy to come during the week might be more interested in seeing whale and hammerhead sharks with a glass of Pinot in hand.

The goal, organizers say, isn't just to raise funds for research, but to teach the public about what goes on behind the laboratory walls. The animal health center has partnered with two dozen universities, primarily the University of Georgia, to study and treat animal diseases. There's a special focus on diseases that have the potential to impact human health, explains Dr. Gregory Bossart, senior vice president and chief veterinary officer. For example, Bossart's team of veterinarians and biologists is studying the effects of climate change on animal health, such as a rise in malignant cancer in dolphins.

"We're not only dealing with animals you see here, but animals on a worldwide perspective," he said.

And there's no species discrimination at this hospital, named for A.D. "Pete" Correll, retired chairman and CEO of Georgia-Pacific, and his wife Ada Lee, who gave $2.5 million to the aquarium in 2006.

"From the smallest seahorse to the largest Beluga whale, everybody receives the same treatment, regardless if they have a Blue Cross Blue Shield insurance card," Bossart joked.

Small businesses in Florida get help with insurance premiums

A public-private partnership led by the University of Central Florida aims to help Floridians secure more affordable health insurance through the small businesses that hire them.

The newly created Florida Small Business Resources Association will provide area small businesses with discounted insurance and management services through a membership group, which can negotiate improved coverage and lower premiums.

Large companies including Blue Cross Blue Shield, Insurance Office of America and FrankCrum have signed on to help the new group — likely the first of its kind in the Southeast, said organizers.

Because small businesses have so much trouble finding and buying insurance on their own, "this program provides us the scale that will give small businesses a voice with insurance companies," said Richard Quinn, a UCF instructor who helped develop the association.

Accreditation for Fish
The Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations awarded Florida Hospital Fish Memorial with the Gold Seal of Approval in September, which means the hospital gets full accreditation for demonstrating compliance with national standards for patient safety and quality of care.

The survey is completed every three years. During this time, visiting surveyors look at the hospital's level of performance in key areas such as patient rights, patient treatment and infection control.

"We are very pleased with the results of the survey," said Fish Memorial CEO Joe Johnson. "Having the JCAHO accreditation demonstrates to our community that this hospital is completely committed and devoted to providing the highest quality health care possible."

The Joint Commission evaluates and accredits more than 16,000 health-care organizations and sets the standards by which health care is measured in the U.S. and around the world.

Humana awards $100,000 grant to Rapides Children`s Advocacy Center

Humana, one of Louisiana`s leading health benefits companies, awarded a $100,000
grant in its 2009 Louisiana Benefits charitable giving program on Oct. 15 to
Rapides Children`s Advocacy Center of Alexandria.

Rapides, which provides a safe environment for children to retell their abuse
stories, plans to use its one-time $100,000 Louisiana Benefits grant to expand
its services into Central Louisiana parishes by equipping a customized motor
home.

"This specially reconfigured motor home will provide a safe and comfortable,
child-friendly setting for us to conduct forensic interviews with the children,"
said Rapides Executive Director Wade Bond. "With this new mobile advocacy center
funded by Humana, we`ll also be able to provide therapy to abused children and
their families, and assist law enforcement agencies and our justice system in
investigating and prosecuting child abuse throughout all of Central Louisiana."

Bond said Rapides hopes to have its new Humana-backed motor home traveling the
roads of Central Louisiana sometime during the first quarter of 2010.

For the third consecutive year, Humana`s Louisiana Benefits awardeda one-time,
$100,000 signature grant to a nonprofit organization based in Louisiana that is
doing valuable work to benefit the people who live in the state. Louisiana
Benefits supports charitable organizations that are focused on improving health
experiences or building healthy communities in the areas of Mind, Body or
Spirit.

More than 60 New Orleans business, civic and nonprofit leaders attended Humana`s
2009 Louisiana Benefits grant celebration event Oct. 15 at the Audubon Tea Room
in New Orleans. Humana this fall received nearly 80 applications from Louisiana
nonprofit groups and charitable organizations seeking the $100,000 grant.

A diverse panel of local judges, comprised of community leaders, public
officials and business representatives, worked with Humana to select the 2009
$100,000 grant recipient in Louisiana Benefits.

"We know that in this economy it`s a challenging time for nonprofits and
charities in our state," said Humana Gulf States Region Senior Products Market
President Jeffrey Fernandez, "so we`re pleased and proud that we can provide
this transformational grant to Rapides Children`s Advocacy Center to advance
their great work."

"This program is playing a significant role in promoting healthy lives and
healthy communities for people in Louisiana," said Humana Louisiana Commercial
Market President Jamie Schlottman. "Since its inception, Louisiana Benefits has
been making a real difference in the lives of Louisianans."

Humana also awarded smaller grants on Oct. 15, recognizing the community efforts
of the other 2009 Louisiana Benefits finalists, Parkway Partners and the
Louisiana Children`s Museum. Parkway Partners received a check for $15,000, and

About the 2009 Humana Louisiana Benefits finalists

The Rapides Children`s Advocacy Center (CAC) conducts forensic interviews with
children who are victims of sexual abuse, severe physical abuse, and/or
witnesses to violent crime.

The primary purpose of the center is to provide a non-threatening and "safe"
environment for children to retell their abuse stories in a way that minimizes
the potential of re-traumatizing the child.

The center`s second primary goal is to assist regional law enforcement and child
welfare agencies and regional parish district attorneys in the investigation of
alleged child abuse incidents for the purpose of prosecution.

Housed in a warm, child-friendly setting, Rapides` highly trained interviewer
speaks to children about their circumstances and obtains legally admissible
information in a non-threatening manner. It`s the agency`s goal to have each
child re-tell their abuse story once, so as to minimize the potential for
re-victimization.
