Last week, John Paul took a look at the E-mini S&P and the Atlas Line. He scrolled through four days of history, showing the many signals produced by the software. You can see more recent trades here. The idea of the Atlas Line is to provide you an exact entry and an overall direction of whether you should be long or short. When price is above the plotted Atlas Line line, go long. When below, go short. It’s a simple way of thinking.
You might be wondering how the Long and Short signals are produced. There needs to be two closing candles above the Atlas Line for a long signal. Similarly, two closing candles below the plotted line will produce a Short signal.
Sometimes, it can be a bit tricky to decide when / where the entry is. The Atlas Line has a BarsBack parameter that lets you specify how far back the order signal plots. If you zoom in on your chart and take the BarsBack into account, you’ll know exactly what candle the entry corresponds to. Alternatively, just look for the two closing candles above or below.
For your stop losses, there are a few different strategies. We take whatever comes first. (In case you’re new to trading – you are hoping your profit target is hit. The stop loss is what’s hit when price does not go in your favor -it’s a safety net.) The prove-it stop occurs when price closes on the opposite side of the line. The time-based stop occurs when 20 minutes have passed (four bars on a five minute chart). No need to hold the trade longer than that – get out at the current price. And the catastrophic stop is the big safety net – in case the market unexpectedly and sharply rises or falls in a short time frame. All of the stops are covered in detail during the hour-or-so long live training that’s included with purchase.
The last time we calculated our Atlas Line monthly results was back in August 2012. Let’s take a look at September through December, 2012. Remember, past performance is not indicative of future results. There is substantial risk of loss in day trading.

Here’s an E-Mini chart from today (August 24, 2012). Click image to see it at full size
Today’s webinar was filled to capacity. This video is for all of you who were unable to get in and those who want to see how our systems performed.
John starts the live presentation by showing two charts: the E-Mini and Euro. The Atlas Line produced a Long signal on each market. The Long signal is an advisement to buy the market at the given price. Most traders would have been hesitant, thinking price was overbought (based on the rise in price within the previous 25 minutes).
At about four minutes in, John reviews a recent overnight E-Mini chart for May 11. Yes, the Atlas Line can work premarket very well, as demonstrated by the Short signal given at 1351.
Attendees were filled with great questions. Yes, the Atlas Line does work with free data feeds. If you’re using CQG, Rithmic, PFG, etc. you can paper trade with the Atlas Line until you feel comfortable to use a live account. If requested, our support team helps customers with installation of the Atlas Line via remote support.
At the 10:00 mark, John runs through a typical play-by-play scenario showing how he uses the signals, the ATR (Average True Range) to dictate a profit target. The most preferable scenarios are when price intersects the Atlas Line and you immediately get either a Long or a Short. The live trade that occurred near the start of the webinar showed a different situation, where price climbed from far below to the Atlas Line to tag the 1.7 point profit target.
On April 4, 2012, John took a Short E-Mini (ES) trade as advised by the Atlas Line software. The entry signal (Dbl Bar Short) was produced automatically when price was at 1398. The ATR (Average True Range) was at a value of 1.8. The ATR (available in most trading platforms) provided us with a value to base our profit target on. Our profit target was then moved to a value with a greater chance of being hit. As anticipated, price eventually passed through the profit target, resulting in a winning trade of $1050 at 14 contracts.
Since the Atlas Line provides direction, it is an excellent addition to a trader’s repertoire, as a filter for scalping or any other system. Live training is included with purchase, so you will learn how to adjust profit targets, manage stops, how to configure the software, pick the best market to trade, and capitalize on the Strength and Pullback trades. Also, the Private Mentorship Program includes the Atlas Line and of course, the same live training. A new session of Group Private Mentorship begins May 2, 2012.
By popular demand, here’s the webinar recording from last Friday (January, 13, 2012). As you’ll see, it was a profitable day as the Atlas Line provided Short signals right before the big moves in the ES (E-Mini) and 6E (Euro). John leaves his live charts running, so you can see how price moves in relation to the signals.
In case you’re not familiar with the Atlas Line, you’ll see it as the dotted pink line on the chart. The software also produces entry signals; the first of which appears on the 6E as a Dbl Bar Short at 1.269. Shortly after, you’ll hear the doorbell sound, indicating another short entry – this time on the ES. Two consecutive closings below the Atlas Line is what triggered the entry. What about stops and profit targets? These are discussed in the video and the live training that’s included with purchase.
When you’re provided with an exact direction and entry price, trading becomes so much easier. As stated many times, the included training covers everything you need to know. You can ask John Paul questions directly. What are you waiting for? Purchase the Atlas Line today.
Here’s a quick example of how to take the guesswork out of trading by using the Atlas Line software. The first trade on Nov. 15 is a Short at 1251.25. This order signal was automatically produced by the Atlas Line based on real-time market conditions. The trade was taken live through NinjaTrader’s DOM, allowing for enough time to capitalize on the reversal, or “bounce” that occurred off the plotted Atlas Line. On November 15th, we logged at least four separate Atlas Line trading opportunities, generating a total of +34 ticks for the day. Be sure to check out our results page to see the details.
As demonstrated, when working with limit orders, it’s important to leave them where they are, as moving the order’s position will send you to the back of the line. Order types, targets along with the three stop strategies (Time-based, Catastrophic and Prove-it) are discussed in the free live training that’s included with purchase. In addition, the training covers the three trade setups that are unique to Atlas Line trading: the Pullback, Strength, and Bounce trades. The Atlas Line is compatible with the latest versions of NinjaTrader, TradeStation and eSignal.
