85 Ticks LIVE Today.Euro Wave Pattern HUGE Day Trade.
Market Gave us clues today…(Expand For Video)
830am EST
– Dollar index futures are trading sideways
o Slow speed
o Average true range at its weekly lows
o Slow timeframe was flat
o Very slow speed of the tape
1015am EST
– Took our first trade of the day on the euro, 2-step short off the high of day.
o Was slightly higher risk
This week is more challenging (Quad Witching)
Took very long time to trigger
Momentum was mixed on the fast and slow timeframe
• Wait for momentum to confirm on the 4 range and the 8 range and the 13 range
Speed was a little slow
First attempt to trigger this short was unsuccessful, we didn’t see our rules line up
• Didn’t see the BIG MONEY when we needed it
1045AM EST
– We took 2 more winning trades on Gold futures
o 2-step short off the high of day
o Followed that short with a re-entry into a wave pattern short
– Now we look at the crude oil testing its high of day
1115AM EST
– Do we prefer to buy or sell at the highs
o I prefer to SELL at the highs b/c we see better moves
o To buy the highs you need to see Green POT, big buyers, and increasing speed!
Everyone knows where the HOD is, and most people look to take profit.
Goal = get those buy stops run at the highs, get the sellers on the run, and get the buyers to jump in at the highs for a nice big move up!
When is lunch?
– Slow Speed of the Market
o Pace of tape indicator = RED = SLOW Market
– Sideways Markets
o Flat trigger lines
o Double-tops/bottoms
o Low reading on my Average true Range
– Big Money
o Filtered time & sales window
o Lack of big money = lunchtime is here
Trigger Zones and ways we can use them:
– Fib tool (F8)
– Use this with ANY pattern, but most effectively used with the wave pattern
– Watch the wave pattern set up
– Use the trigger zone tool to identify the best possible entry on a wave trade
o Question is always the same…how far of a pullback is a reversal?
o When is a retracement a reversal?
Other ways to use it:
– Slower timeframe for the overall direction ahead
– 60/30/10-min charts
– Mark the highs, mark the lows, and use the Trigger Tool to identify the trigger zone.
– FAST timeframes work well too, you just will only use the most recent swing high to swing low, don’t worry about the BIG PICTURE on the fast timeframe.
