3 Rules for a Winning Trade

When it comes to finding winning trades, it’s all about context, and here are three rules I follow to give myself the highest odds possible. Are you ready?

Trading with Confluence Levels

Winning always trades start with reliable support & resistance levels, and one way to increase reliability is to stack “confluence’ levels on top of each other, then combine those areas with your favorite entry set-up — are you ready?

Time the Entry Properly

Entry timing is often the difference between winning and losing on your next trade because it gets you smaller stops and bigger targets – but the real key to timing your entries properly is understanding how to use short-term momentum correctly – are you ready?

Trading Into Failed Reversals

It’s tempting to try trading reversals because our minds love to play tricks on us, but when you look at the probabilities, the numbers don’t lie – the better strategy is to wait for what looks like a possible reversal, wait for the rookies to take the bait, and trade directly into their stops – are you ready for this tomorrow?

Is This Rally Over? (Or Just Beginning?)

Most of our favorite markets are bullish and finishing today’s session up at the highs, but question on everyone’s mind is…

“Will this rally continue tomorrow?”

The E-Minis and Gold are waiting for confirmation before we can buy more, the Euro is trying to re-test today’s high, and Crude Oil has a few different scenarios we need to plan for ahead of Wednesday morning – are you ready?

Trading the Rejection

Trending markets often start trading sideways without much notice, which is an easy way to lose money –

So instead, I use this “rejection” strategy to avoid losses and capitalize on the new range as it develops on the chart.

Are you ready for tomorrow?

Best Entry Set-Ups

We got some big moves in today’s session, but it looks like we’re going to settle into some trading-ranges for Friday morning…

And any time I see ranges on the chart, I know the key to our success will be using the best entry set-ups in the best locations – are you ready?

Where’s the Market’s Objective?

Another trading day in the books – but there’s no time to rest, because we have another round of explosive set-ups coming for Thursday’s session…

And as I look at the charts this evening, the biggest key to our success on Thursday will be understanding “where’s the market’s objective?” – Are you ready?

Think Like a Rookie (Trade Like a Pro)

Our favorite markets have a lot of “moving pieces” to follow this week, and with major news tomorrow morning, it’s important to have our trading plan ready before the opening-bell…

And whenever I see this many “moving pieces” on the charts, I know there will be opportunities to catch the unprepared rookies on the wrong side of the market…

Which is why I always tell my best clients – “Think like a rookie, but trade like a pro.” Are you ready for tomorrow?

Four Ways to Trade Breakouts

Our favorite markets are trading inside of ranges this evening; some big, some small, some wide, and some narrow – and all of those are important details that we need to address in tonight’s newsletter…

But no matter what the size or shape of the range, I’m always looking for my (4) four favorite breakout patterns. Are You Ready?
