Live Webinar – Back to Basics 2017
January 3, 2017
For those of you who are new to DayTradeToWin.com, this webinar serves as a great introduction to our style of price action trading. Instead of using complicated indicators and math, you're taught how to look at charts, see exactly where the trades are, and know what type of trade to take. Later in the video, John Paul shares the Atlas Line and Trade Scalper signals that are plotting live. One of the easiest strategies to start with is the ABC method.
Two Atlas Line E-mini Trade Signals
December 28, 2016
The Atlas Line software produced a winning short signal at 2259 and then a long at 2261.75. This video shows the progress and outcome of the long trade. In this case, John Paul uses a market order instead of a limit order. There's a tick of slippage. Any more than that is undesirable. Having a stop loss in place right away is highly recommended. Trading with a stop in place increases risk. The included live training fully explains stop losses, profit targets, and trade management.
Live Webinar Part 2 – Dec. 2016 E-mini S&P Markets
December 8, 2016
During the last week of the year, the Stair Step pattern is often present. Price climbs, pauses, and repeats this cycle to form a series of candles that look like a staircase. The Atlas Line works well with this pattern because the Strength and Pullback signals provide additional confirmation for some of the step "climbs." This year, it's best to avoid trading on the Friday before Christmas and New Year's. Skip to around 9:00 to see how the A, B, and C parts of the day work with scalping.
Live Webinar Part 1 – Dec. 2016 E-mini S&P Markets
December 7, 2016
John Paul has seen how markets often rally toward the end of the year. He expects this month to be no different. In the morning, price tends to push in one direction. Watch to see how he recommends trading the morning market moves. Remember how to find those breakout January Effect trades? You can also apply the same technique during this month. Markets love to test highs and lows. Wait for price to bullishly surpass 50% of the the high/low range and that's the entry point.
Can You Keep up With This Fast Atlas Line Trade?
December 7, 2016
Two closes above the Atlas Line created a long opportunity in the E-mini S&P. Filled at 2202.5, the trade took about 10 minutes to complete. Based on the ATR (Average True Range), the profit target was set to 2204 and the stop to 2199.5. John Paul uses the ATM Strategy tool to help define the profit target and stop loss in advance. This makes it quik and easy to adjust once in a live trade. NinjaTrader's TextAndMarker setting makes it easy to see entries and exits on the chart.
Atlas Line – 8 Points, 3 Trades, All Price Action
November 30, 2016
During the live webinar, John Paul shared a couple of great Atlas Line trades. The first trade was worth 2.5 points (10 ticks). The second trade, appearing about 40 min. later, was for 3.5 points (14 ticks). The last trade occurred in the afternoon for 2 points (8 ticks). On the E-mini S&P, remember that each tick is worth $12.50, so therefore each point is worth $50. You can then multiply this by the number of contracts traded. This does not include broker fees.
Trailing Stops – What Every Trader Should Know
November 30, 2016
Trailing stop refers to a technique that allows you to essentially "lock in profit" by closing half (or more) of your position early once the trade has gone favorable. To do this, John Paul recommends using more than two contracts – preferably a multiple of two (2, 4, 6, 8, etc.). And of course, practice in simulation mode before attempting with live conditions. The best strategies to use with trailing stops include the Roadmap (Mentorship only), X-5, and Atlas Line.
Live Webinar – January Effect 2017
November 29, 2016
For many years, the January Effect has been effective in providing an indication of the overall market direction for the year ahead. January 2017 is right around the corner, so it's important to review what the January Effect is and how it can be utilized for day trading. Basically, it works like this – at the end of January 2017 take a look at the E-mini price. If it closed higher for the month than opening price, expect an up year. Look for breakout patterns.
Webinar – High Volatility & Staying Focused
November 14, 2016
Since the 2016 U.S. presidential election, market conditions have been consistently volatile. When markets are fast moving, it's tempting to both increase the profit target and the stop loss. However, doing so increases risk. Instead, John Paul discusses a few ways to carefully approach volatility. One way is to use the ATR to see if the market is simply too volatile. Another is to use the Atlas Line to see if the market is overbought or oversold.
Don't Take Every Trade You See
October 25, 2016
The Trade Scalper strategy is one of the most active trading methods we offer. On average, multiple trades appear every hour. In this video, five appear on the chart. A short signal has just occurred, but is it worth taking? The previous short signals were good. This trade is tempting. However, the ATR says the market is too slow and too risky, so John Paul stays away. It's important to stick to the rules even if you see a trade later reach profitable territory.
All trades should be considered hypothetical. No guarantees or claims of performance are offered. Past performance is not indicative of future results. Day trading is risky and may cause substantial financial loss. Individual performance may vary, as trading subjects your finances to new, unexpected market conditions. You are responsible for executing trades. Before trading, consult with a licensed broker and a financial expert see if day trading is suitable for you.
