If you trade the E-mini S&P 500 or any market on CME Globex, you should take a look at their 2020 calendar. On or around certain holidays, markets can close prematurely. You probably don’t want to have an open position at the time of a halt. Also, the markets may experience increased volatility or a lack thereof. Yes, uncommon volatility often surrounds trading holidays. Below, we note early or full daily closures for listed CME Group equity index product holidays.

What if you could predict when big sell-offs are about to occur? While no trading strategy can guarantee performance, you are invited to look at the Atlas Line signals from DayTradeToWin. A variety of chart time frames are used: 5-Min, 1-Min, and 10-Second. Try practicing in simulated mode first so you know what timeframe matches your speed. The Atlas Line software can work across a variety of chart types. The Atlas Line software typically focuses on holding positions for about 20 minutes maximum if a profit target or another stop loss is not hit. Of course, you can experiment and hold a position for longer, such as during a forecasted bearish fall. Recent market activity with well-defined ups and downs has made it slightly easier, in our opinion, to feel more confident holding trades longer. When long periods of high volatility occur, we can switch to a day chart and note levels of historical support and resistance. This video identifies such periods. Remember, markets typically fall faster than they rise. High-frequency trading algorithms compete with one another (as well as retail traders) causing hand-over-hand races to the bottom with only “circuit breaker” activity in play to halt highly volatile events. However, you can review this video to learn how to make this activity work for you. Holding positions longer requires more risk margin, so be sure to check your finances and broker capabilities prior to any significant trading changes.

Do you know the differences among the various order types commonly used in day trading? Do you know when it’s better to use a stop limit order as compared to a market order? Don’t worry – many traders don’t know the differences. Good news – we have a video for you that explains all of the common order types and when to use them. You may find that MIT orders, for example, reduce risk based on your style of trading. Depending on your trading platform, most if not all of these order types should be available. Choose what works best whether buying or selling. If you’re one of those traders who are content just placing plain old market orders, you can definitely learn a few tricks from this video. We place orders using the NinjaTrader SuperDOM. You could use ChartTrader, but our opinion is that it limits features. The SuperDOM represents a number of prices. The current price appears in yellow. You’ll see the buyers and sellers for each price providing your data feed provides something called Level 2 market data. The market should seek a balance among buyers and sellers. Sometimes, you’ll want to enter a trade (aka place an order) a certain price “or better.” The “or better” means a more favorable price. If your selling the market, or “going short,” your trading indicator or strategy may advise getting into a position when price reaches a specific value. Using the right order type along with an ATM Strategy is a great way to make trading happen seamlessly. In case you don’t know, an ATM Strategy is simply a preconfigured stop loss and profit target. Yes, more stuff can be configured, but we generally create a few of these to switch between in the heat of the moment (when a signal has just fired off the Atlas Line, Trade Scalper, etc.).

Here is a short and sweet clip analyzing Atlas Line signals. Everyone using the Atlas Line today got the same signals with the E-mini S&P 500 market. So, whatever type of Atlas Line license you have, this is true: 6-Month or Lifetime. The first Atlas Line trade was worth around + 2.5 points, but if you didn’t make a profit, the time-based stop was meant to get you out at break-even. In addition, the second trade is a short one with a gain target of 3.5. That’s where the order is placed by the MIT (Market If Touched). The biggest risk here (catastrophic stop) is about 5 points, according to the rules. Price has to touch the profit target or go through it. On a first-come, first-served basis, the market is working. Note to include broker fees (commissions) in your estimates while calculating your income or lack of them.
