    About Me

    My photo
    Carl Futia
    I write two financial blogs. The first is Carl Futia.On this blog I post daily "guestimates" of the current trends and trend potential in important markets. My second blog, Carl Futia Real Time, is subscription based. It is a real time trading seminar in which members receive my real time analysis of the E-mini S&P futures and can watch me trade them. In this seminar I explain how I calculate support and resistance levels and how I recognize market "rejections" of support or resistance which then determine the current trend directions.
