GAP Day Trading Strategies, Momentum Indicator, and Continuous Contracts for NinjaTrader 7

–          GAPS and how to play them
o    The object is that price will fill the gap
o    The problem is that we don’t know when
o    80% likelihood of a 50% gap fill
o    Im ok with understanding WHY this works, but that doesn’t mean it’s the best suite for my trading style
o    Lets look at trade management:
o    Stop is placed above the daily highs for a short gap trade
o    Stop is placed below the daily lows for a long gap trade
o    These stops are HUGE sometimes, more than your account is safe to bare.
o    7 out of 10 gaps get filled
o    The big issue is that my account and my personality has a hard time handling this large of loss
o    You only get 1 per day
–          Daily charts and continuous data
o    Open your instrument manager and select the continuous contract for the daily charts (CL ##-##)
–          Fast Track Method and how to get started
–          WE Give you all the exact entries, stops and targets for the fast track today
–          We earned $200usd on the FT per contract
–          As an advanced member you will learn this fast track and then build into the more advanced strategy that made is 150 ticks today.
New Momentum Indicator:
–          Download the indicator
–          Load the chart templates
–          Fast21 = 21r
–          Fast13 = 13r
–          Fast4 = 4range charts
–          Training on Wednesday we will make sure its working.
–         
Widen stops on the Fast Track:
–          I can use a 10 tick stop on the 13 range chart, I cannot use the 10 tick stop on the 21range chart (too narrow)
–          I can use the 20 tick stop on the 13range as well as the 21range
–          Stop and target are the same
–          This will get more aggressive, more flexible once you begin to trade our normal trading method.
