DayTradeToWin Reviews

In this video, John Paul discusses the January Effect, which is a free trading method with simple rules. Basically, we’re waiting to see if the E-mini closes higher on January 31, 2018 than the opening price on January 2, 2018. If price does close higher, then the January Effect says that 2018 will be an “up year” overall. Because the year is expected to trend up, John Paul believes that it’s worthwhile to look for long (buy) trading opportunities after consecutive days of selling (bearish) activity. By using the Fibonacci tool, it’s possible to apply visual indicators that help determine the point of entry. Follow the steps in the video.

Experiment with this free trading method in other markets. You may be surprised at what you find! Look for a minimum of three to four consecutive days of bearish activity. When price begins to surpass the 50% level on the way up, that’s your entry point. John Paul says that markets like to revisit levels they’ve previously reached. This is why the Fibonacii tool is configured to use a 100% level near the most recent high. Yes, conversely, you can use that for the bottom of the bearish trend. It’s really the 50% level that matters the most, and that will always be halfway.

Free Trading Method Alternatives

If you want to see how the ATO 2 and Atlas Line performed early in 2018, go to 22:40. Long signals were produced by both. These real-time signals were generated for everyone to see in the live webinar. Other DayTradeToWin clients should have seen the same signals. Occasionally, John Paul will take live trades in webinars. However, in this case, he was busy demonstrating the January Effect. When it comes to trading multiple signals, generally he advises taking whichever one appears first.

The eight-week Mentorship Program teaches about 10 different strategies. These are far better than the free trading method options you’ve seen. He will teach you how to filter out potential losing trades and pick potential winners. The goal is to turn you into an independent, professional.

With 2018 now here, we expect the E-mini to become more volatile with many opportunities ahead. Once January concludes, we will have an idea whether the January Effect will apply. We use the January Effect to help predict whether the entire year will trend upward overall. In the short-term, we are looking for more ATO 2, Atlas Line, and Trade Scalper trades for 2018 trading. In the following video, you will see how the ATO 2 and Atlas Line produces a couple of great signals despite slower market activity (that usually occurs during the final week of the year).

The eight-week Mentorship Program is the best way to learn everything DayTradeToWin has to offer for 2018. The next class begins in a few short days.

How was your E-mini trading on December 28, 2017? Because of the holidays, the market moved rather slowly. The ATR (Average True Range) was around 1.25 points. Despite this, the ATO 2 and Atlas Line produces great short signals. The ATO 2 signal appeared around 9:50 a.m. A few minutes later, the Atlas Line signal appeared. As discussed in other videos, when two trusted trading systems provide similar signals, John Paul gets excited. What signal do you take first? Whichever one appears first. Watch the video to see what happened in real-time with the second trade. No need to pick and choose trades as with other systems.

2018 Trading & Management

Trade management is a large component of successful trading. The included live training and videos teach trade management rules that are specific to each method. Trade management allows you to potentially limit your risk and increase profits by adapting your approach so that it’s realistic. If the market is trading slow, it’s probably unwise to place a trade with a huge profit target. Likewise, a day that’s too volatile may not be worth trading at all, or if the volatility is decent, you may want to trade according to what the market can reasonably produce. We prefer this dynamic approach. John Paul believes that by observing price action, you can get a feel for what may be expected next.

Remember that you can purchase the ATO 2, Atlas Line, and Trade Scalper separately. However, the best value comes from enrolling in Mentorship, where you are provided with over 10 unique strategies and concepts. DayTradeToWin also provides clients with free remote support for platform setup and software configuration. NinjaTrader is the recommended platform.

The Atlas Line and ATO 2 have been on quite a roll recently. Here are two more recent charts (with trading signals) we want to share with you. Remember that you can buy each trading method separately or get them together (along with eight or so other methods/concepts) with lifetime licenses as part of the eight-week Mentorship Program. Without further ado, let’s see those recent charts…

Trading Signals for Dec. 19, 2017

If you’re operating with a tighter budget and want to trade with just one of our strategies, many students have found success with our ATO 2 course and software. About two signals per day are generated by the software. You learn how to manually find the trades yourself as well. In this chart, it was possible to win up to six ticks by following the rules. Note that broker fees and other potential trading costs are not accounted for. This six ticks comes out to $75 because each tick on the E-mini is worth $12.50.

Traders like to potentially increase profits by trading with a larger number of contracts. For example, trading with two contracts may have resulted in $150. The amount of contracts you can trade depends on your broker and your account financing. This ATO 2 trade probably made many traders nervous because price kept rising despite the short signal. That one candle hit the profit target and that’s all that was needed.

Trading Signals for Dec. 15, 2017

Trending days are not that common, but when they arrive and two systems agree on the direction, John Paul gets excited. Notice that both systems provided long signals prior to large moves. The Atlas Line’s signal occurred at the close of the 9:55 a.m. EST candle. Two ATO 2 trades followed: the first occurring around 10:15 a.m. and the second soon after. It looks like all three were winners.

Large green or red candles are often the result of news events (planned or unplanned) swaying market direction. Generally, it’s best to avoid the known market-movers. If you happen to be in a trade when one occurs, John Paul recommends sticking to the rules. In total, it looks like there were three nice winners. Note the last trade is an ATO-C (Trade Chaser), taught in the ATO 2.

So you’ve decided to try day trading to see what all the fuss is about. You’ve downloaded a trading platform (such as NinjaTrader) and you also signed up for live data. With a bit of reading and watching our NinjaTrader tutorials, you’ve learned the basics. After you’ve spent some time practicing, you start to see patterns in the market. After some time and simulated trading, your performance is not quite what you’ve hoped. At this point, you’ve begun to look for trading systems. There’s a lot out there. DayTradeToWin.com has stood the test of time, first offering the ATO strategy (now the ATO 2 is available), then the Atlas Line, Trade Scalper, and many others. Take a look at the picture below to see how the ATO 2 and Atlas Line work together. Yes, two days in a row is not enough to determine whether a system is consistently profitable. No trading system should make the claim of consistent profits because the market can always possibly head in a different direction. That’s why you have to consider there is always risk involved and do your homework.

Trading Systems That Confirm One Another

December 11, 2017

John Paul believes there’s a better chance price will move in the expected direction. John Paul believes that similar signals from two or more trading systems may be a better predictor of anticipated price movement. Coincidentally, both systems fired off signals around the same time despite each one using a different internal calculation. In total, it was possible to win up to +12 ticks.

December 12, 2017

In the chart above, both trading methods agreed price would move up. That’s why the Atlas Line and ATO 2 produced long (buy) signals. In total, it was possible to win up to +17 ticks by following the rules. Of course, you have to factor in broker costs and whether you are trading multiple contracts (which would have increased profit potential). These signals are provided soon after the market opens. For example, 9:55 a.m. EST was the first trade. In addition to the obvious long signals, the small “S” symbols, green in color, present additional opportunities.

Every so often, John Paul from DayTradeToWin.com conducts a live webinar. He invites thousands of traders to see his signals in real-time conditions. Below, you’ll find a recent recording from one of these presentations. The focus was recent successful trading days as well as signals from the Atlas Line, ATO 2, Trade Scalper, and Roadmap. It was presented as a trading challenge, whereby John Paul set out to show the viability of the systems. These products are sold exclusively by DayTradeToWin.com. The entry signals are based on unique calculations. Beginner traders often quickly find themselves comfortable with these methods. Live training, videos, and courses usually accompany each product. Also, you will see two winning trades. One trade is based on the Atlas Line and the other uses the Trade Scalper.

As we approach the holidays, it’s important to have an idea of upcoming market closures. Fortunately, the CME Group posts holiday calendars, letting traders know about such conditions. The holiday trading calendars can be tricky to interpret, so we’ve condensed the notices as follows. Remember that we mainly look at equity products (aka markets) like the E-mini S&P 500, so some of these hours may not apply to you specialized commodity traders. The times below are listed in US/Eastern (GMT-5, New York time). The CME Group website typically uses US/Central, which is an hour behind New York time.

Holiday Trading Schedule 2017

Christmas Day, Monday, Dec. 25, 2017 – markets closed and reopen at 6:00 p.m. the same day
New Year’s Day, Monday, Jan. 1, 2018 – markets closed and reopen at 6:00 p.m. the same day

Because Christmas Eve and New Year’s Eve both occur on Sundays, the CME Group does not indicate closures for those days.

What comes next? Look for Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Day. On Monday, Jan. 15, 2018, the markets will halt at 1:00 p.m. and reopen in the evening at 6:00 p.m.
