Two Atlas Line Real-time Trades
March 14, 2014
In this video, two live Atlas Line trades were taken. The first signal of the day occurred at about 10:15 a.m., which is later than usual. John Paul had to wait for price to drop before getting filled on the limit order. Watch the DOM window to see the result of this trade. Closer to noon, the Atlas Line produced another signal; a short trade with a profit target of three ticks. This profit target was intentionally conservative.
Atlas Line Real-time Trade
February 28, 2014
The Long signal produced by the Atlas Line at 1857.75 was good for seven ticks on the E-mini. Traders are often concerned with the size of the stop loss John Paul uses, however, the catastrophic stop is really just a safety net if price were to suddenly take off. It is much more common for the time-based, prove-it, or other stops to get hit first. And you end up taking whatever stop gets hit first anyway, if your profit target is not reached.
Live Webinar – Price Action Decoded
February 28, 2014
Take a look at John Paul's unique approach to price action trading. He uses the ATR combined with the BarTimer to determine his placement in the markets. If the ATR value is too low, it's not worth the risk, as the market may stall out or flip-flop. At about 11:00 into the video, you can see how the markets "wake up" for the day session, which is our preference to trade. At 11:20, he discusses trading news events, followed by an Atlas Line review at 13:00 in.
Live Price Action Webinar from Feb. 7, 2014
February 11, 2014
With an extremely large move in the ES at 8:35 a.m. on February 7, 2014, John Paul answered many questions on how the Atlas Line works. This almost 30 point move was caused by a jobs-related news event. This move impacted the plotting of the Atlas Line, and normally, you would have not stayed out of the market. The Long signal still appeared to be a winner, but the trade would have not been taken due to the distance of the plotted Atlas Line vs. the real-time price.
2014 January Effect Prediction
January 31, 2014
With January 2013 now behind us, John Paul takes a look at the month of January as a whole in order to determine whether we can expect the year to end higher or lower. By confirming the E-mini closed lower on January 31 than it opened on January 2, the January Effect says 2014 will end lower than the January 31 closing price. In an upcoming video, John Paul will explain how to take advantage of support and resistance trades, considering a different approach is required.
5-min Charts and Front-running Explained
January 31, 2014
Watch this video to see why it makes sense to trade with a 5-min chart. John Paul explains this time frame allows you to see all the moves recognized by traders of 10, 15, and 60 min charts, while not showing too much information. Trading with a 5-min time frame allows you make an immediate decision for news events, breakouts, and many other strategy decisions. Also, John Paul discusses front-running; the process of placing entries one tick in front of the normal level.
Trading Lesson 2 – Using the DOM and Orders
January 24, 2014
Learn the basics of how to place a trade using the DOM. We know the Atlas Line produces long and short entries, but how do you place the orders? First, open up a DOM by going to File > New > Dynamic SuperDOM (or Static). Select the market in the Instrument drop-down list. Select whether you want to use the Sim or your live account. The Order qty box controls the amount of contracts per trade. When placing orders, it's first-come, first-served.
ABC Software for NinjaTrader Gives Entry Signals
January 15, 2014
The ABC Method is one of the free trading methods available here on the videos page. Instead of plotting this price action method manually, we have a coded version that automatically draws the vertical lines and provides entry signals. The entry signals occur after two consecutive closing candles outside the previous section's range. Typically, the B section is a leading indicator for how the final C section will perform. January 13, 2014 was a trending day.
Live Webinar – Atlas Line Real-time Signals
January 10, 2014
John Paul shows consecutive days of Atlas Line performance along with markets such as the YM, ES, 6E, and ZB. For those of you who are new to the Atlas Line, it is the pink dashed line you see on the chart that produces the Long and short signals. When the price candles intersect the line and close twice above the line, a Long signal is generated. Likewise, two closing candles below the line produce a Short signal. The internal algorithm lets price prove how it wants to move.
Trading Lesson 1 – Price Action vs. Indicators
January 9, 2014
What is the difference between using price action and indicators to trade? John Paul explains in this first video in a series of Trading Lesson installments. Indicators are software programs that run inside of your day trading software, providing you with information to help you trade. Price action can also tell you how to trade using only the basic information that's already on your chart – price and time. Price action has an advantage over indicators as described in the this video.
