August 8, 2014

Expect False Breakouts to Occur
August 2, 2014
If you open up a weekly chart and take a look at the last two years, you'll see a bullish trend. Look closer and you'll notice many false breakouts. False breakouts occur when a series of trending candles are interrupted by a candle that reverses direction. These false breakout moments lure traders into compromising trades by making them think, "This is the moment when the market will reverse long-term!" Far too often, this is more or less a "trick" and price continues to trend.
Big 3.25 Point E-mini Trade with Atlas Line
August 1, 2014
When you're using the Atlas Line at the open of the E-mini market, your Atlas Line will behave as seen here. Typically, a Long or Short signal will plot at around 10:00 a.m. US/Eastern, telling you when to get in. Then it's up to you to apply the profit target and stop loss. Notice how John Paul makes use of NinjaTrader's ATM Strategy feature to place the profit target and stop loss in advance. The profit target is based on the ATR (Average True Range), which is 3.25 in this case.
Long and Short Atlas Line Trades
August 1, 2014
John Paul takes a live trade using the Atlas Line signals and ends up with a profit shortly thereafter. The two consecutive closing bars generated the Atlas Line's buy (Long) signal at 1973.75. He used a limit order to get in at a price near the close of the second bar. With the Atlas Line, you should not chase after price, as this can result in a smaller profit target or stop loss getting hit. The ATR (Average True Range) is used to dictate the profit and stops.
NinjaTrader Bug or Feature? Bar Timer Explained
June 24, 2014
Traders often ask us about NinjaTrader's Bar Timer indicator. One of the reported issues is a failure to count down every second consistently. According to NinjaTrader, this is correct behavior because the Bar Timer only counts down as it receives incoming price data from the server. No data for a second or more and no countdown. Your computer is receiving data regularly, but it's not a constant stream. Does your timer get stuck at 0:00? Sync your Windows time with official time servers.
Recent E-mini Price Action Trade 2 of 2
June 20, 2014
This video shows the Atlas Line producing a Long signal at 1926.25. The green ATR value seen at the bottom of the chart provides an idea of what the market can realistically produce in terms of profit. By rounding this value, we have a figure to use as a profit target. If the trade goes against us, we have a number of stop loss strategies in mind. We'll take whatever comes first – profit target or the first stop, to minimize risk. Trade management rules are covered in the live training.
Recent E-mini Price Action Trade 1 of 2
June 19, 2014
Trading the E-mini is made easy with the Atlas Line. The produced Dbl Bar Short signal at 1923.75 helped us take advantage of a breakout right in time. It's better to watch for slight pullbacks instead of trying to make a move after a breakout has occurred. Price loves to test previous lows and highs, so keep this in mind when looking at price action. Two closing bars either above or below the plotted Atlas Line produce the entry signal, either Long or Short.
Atlas Line Trade Good for +3 Points
May 7, 2014
This Atlas Line trade was good for +3 points, or +$1,650.00, excluding trading fees. The Atlas Line gave a long signal after the two closing bars above its dashed pink line. John Paul's limit order was quickly filled. He uses the ATR's current value of about three points to determine the profit target. The catastrophic stop loss is used by default. It acts as a safety net in case the market suddenly takes off in an undesired direction.

John Paul conducted an hour-long presentation for NinjaTrader yesterday.

Two Trade Scalper Real-time Trades
March 19, 2014
Take a look at these two scalp trades in the E-mini S&P using a 1-Min chart. John Paul's limit order at 1879 was filled with a profit target of three ticks. The stop loss was set to six ticks, but this large default stop is usually not hit, as the time-based stop is more frequent. For this scalping strategy to be viable, the ATR has to be greater than three ticks. From three to two ticks, the profit target becomes two ticks.
