50+ Ticks LIVE Today from Mexico! Check out the Mobile trading computer!

Market Gave us clues today…

845am EST

– Start with the Dollar Index Futures, trading at their highs, in a somewhat tight trading range.

o Dollar is setting up for a DX pattern, but we have a few things to concern us:

 Pattern trigger is at the previous close of day

• We consider to be the ZERO Line (nothing has changed)

 Pattern trigger is at the middle of the trading range.

• We call this the chop zone, and we want to ONLY take trades at the extremes.

915am est

– Crude oil futures set up for 2-step short and a breaker long

o 2-step short trigger first, and we had oversold momentum and red pot
 Avoid trading when we see DECREASING red POT
 Also be careful if the Momentum is oversold for a short trade

o Breaker long set up 2nd, but we didn’t see the big money enter at our trigger location

– Crude oil futures trading sideways, and we are right in the middle of the trading range

o ‘Don’t trade the middle’ so watch your 34-range chart for the big picture to show us where we are.

– We saw another nice 2 step short on the crude oil @ 937 am est

o We liked this pattern for three reasons

 At the high of day, perfect spot for a 2-step short

 Momentum was NOT oversold, but in a perfect spot, pointing down

 Saw big money sellers on our filtered time & sales window

1000am est

– Don’t forget, im demonstrating this on a fast timeframe, when YOU may want to use a slower timeframe

o Last week we had 4 nice BIG winners off slower timeframes

 60-minute

 34-range

 13-range

 Lots of potential for EVERYONE! Fast or slow, these patterns don’t care

– Slower timeframe

o USE different ATM strategies

 Log into your adv course, and watch the members training from may 15 2010 on Slower timeframe entries

o Benefits = less chop and less noise

 More potent set-ups, each trade will be higher %

 Same LOW risk/reward ratio

o Downside = fewer patterns

 Still have the same low Risk/reward ratio

Different charts use different trade management:

Scalping Method – always the same, we set it and forget it

– Automated trade management takes care of everything for us

Slower Timeframe Method (Wave)

– Use slightly different trade management depending on the trade

o Once you enter the trade, place your stops and targets according to your rules.

What made us so successful today was our ability to AVOID the bad trades, which allowed us to preserve the CONFIDENCE we needed to keep focused on the best patterns.

Congrats to a few of our members who joined today!
