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.
