DayTradeToWin’s Basic ATM Strategy Approach

/ September 3, 2021

Are you semi-automating your order placement? If not, you may want to reconsider it after watching this video. The popular day trading platform, NinjaTrader, has an ability to preconfigure a profit target and stop loss. Doing so will allow you take swift action rather than clumsily using the price ladder (SuperDOM) under pressure. The presenter recommends configuring several ATM Strategies. Doing so assures a variety to pick from for the given market conditions. After all, you’re not using the same profit target and stop loss for every trade in every condition, are you? Before the video goes into the ATM Strategy feature, there is a review of many Trade Scalper signals. The Trade Scalper is a price action system from DayTradeToWin. It’s been around for many years and is one of the most popular scalping methods offered by DayTradeToWin. Remember, when configuring the profit target and stop loss values within the ATM Strategy area, the value amount is in ticks rather than points. Four points equals one tick. The reason why you tend to see the stop loss as double the profit target is because the stop loss, when using DayTradeToWin methods, is the catastrophic stop. This catastrophic stop is often considered to be a safety net. In some cases, a profit, breakeven, or smaller stop loss will be triggered instead. It’s important to allow the market some breathing room. Otherwise, a minor fluctuation may end the trade prematurely. Can there be a way to simplify order placement further? Understanding each order type and getting the “muscle memory” established through practice will certainly help. It wasn’t mentioned in this video, but you can also right-click the chart to place a trade.

What it Means to Scalp Trade Futures Every Day

/ August 4, 2021

Futures trading is a unique form of day trading because it is not as though you are trading a company’s stock directly or engaging in transactions associated with a currency valuation. Futures are a derivative type market. It is quite possible that many at-home traders do not really consider or care about the future price of grain unless the cost of food becomes unaffordable. So, in that sense, the underlying asset(s) traded in futures are often an abstraction. Many traders think about the E-mini vs. the Crude Oil markets in terms of tick valuation, quirky behavior, best times of the day to trade, and what is believed to encourage the most profit. Is there a disconnect from the big picture? Perhaps. Do many people think about where their money actually comes from and how the financial systems of the world are structured? One could say there is a huge disconnect here, but perhaps that is a topic for another time. Hopefully, the point has been made – one does not need to be a financial markets expert to successfully follow a trading system. Likewise, we can view certain trading methodologies with a large lens. Various trading systems focus on various styles of trading: swing trading, scalping, intraday, and so forth; and this does not begin to describe the more technical aspects such as channels, oscillators, and other constituents of the larger “genres” of trading systems. To scalp trade futures every day, one has to trade at a fairly rapid pace. After all, scalping means taking only a portion at a point in time. DayTradeToWin’s Trade Scalper trading system does just that – it’s profit-taking goals are smaller than the other systems they provide. A more conservative approach, per trade, has its benefits. However, one should consider broker costs per trade. NinjaTrader Brokerage should be able to provide a quote or estimation of all applicable fees per market, such as the E-mini S&P 500. At the end of the day, or even better – month or months – the trading system should demonstrate an acceptable level of performance. In this video, John Paul from DayTradeToWin displays around five signals for the day. In the later portion, he shares a real-time scalping trade. He is using five contracts. These contracts act as a multiplier of profit and loss depending on which way the trade goes. He was fortunate the trade worked in his favor, resulting in over $300 for several minutes of waiting/trade management. With the E-mini, each tick is worth $12.50 and four ticks represent one point. Therefore, one point represents $50. Factor in the contract multiplier, and the profit target or stop loss and you can get a sense of the financial goal and risk per trade.

Best Way to Trade Multiple Chart Types in NinjaTrader 8

/ July 2, 2021

Want to have multiple chart types in a single chart? It’s possible. Some traders prefer to trade this way rather than using multiple chart windows. The benefit, here, is that you can vertically compare candles and signals. Traders who use DayTradeToWin trading strategies often look for multiple indications the market is expected to move in a certain direction. These indications could be signals or other visual cues. It’s not uncommon for the Atlas Line, ATO 2, and Trade Scalper to provide signals that line up. Thus, the benefit of this chart setup is known. The example provided here is a 2-Range chart and a 1-Minute chart. The 2-Range chart can move very quickly. It’s imperative to place an order quickly. If you were using multiple tabs, for instance, cycling among the tabs may take away from valuable time. If you ever wanted to know what the powerful X-5 trading method is, jump to 9:48 for a description. It’s also called the Floor Trader Secrets Manual. There were once floor traders and they came together to manipulate the market in various ways. The X-5 capitalizes on those patterns that still occur without human traders in the Chicago pit. Another piece of software you’ll see in this video is the Roadmap, which is very important to the price action trading approach taught by John Paul at DayTradeToWin. As its name indicates, it provides a forward-looking plan as to guide the direction of your trading. Price Zones indicate either speed bumps or acceleration opportunities. The signals generated by the Roadmap are unique as well. In the 8-Week Mentorship Program, students are taught how the Roadmap can be a primary filter. If the Roadmap and Atlas Line match up – great! If the ATO 2 does, too – even better! John PaulJohn Paul is the founder of DayTradeToWin, a trading education and software company established in 2008, supporting traders worldwide.

Pre-market Scalping Using DayTradeToWin Trade Scalper

/ April 8, 2021

If you ask a number of successful day traders about trading pre-market, chances are you will get mixed answers along with an abundance of caution. John Paul from DayTradeToWin generally advises caution, but certainly understands and shows many opportunities do exist before the E-mini is considered to open at approximately 9:30 a.m. US/Eastern. The hesitation involving pre-market trading is the lack of liquidity and big players that generally cause trends seen after 9:30 a.m. However, if you have been looking at premarket activity, at say, 8:00 a.m. to 9:30 a.m. US/Eastern for the last year, you will see significant volatility. This wasn’t always the case. What changed? Much has changed in the world in the last year. Aside from C-19, we have crypto taking the world by storm. Does crypto officially open at 9:30 a.m.? No. Are there massive amounts of money trading in crypto markets? You bet. Can we say with absolute certainty that crypto trading and crypto developments do no impact the E-mini or other “old” markets? Absolutely not. In fact, in recent months, we have seen some of the very companies that make up the S&P start to accept crypto. These expansions have affected their stocks, undoubtedly. That alone will impact the E-mini S&P. This video shows a real-time Trade Scalper trade based on a signal generated by said software. When scalping, it’s important to get in quickly. If you wait too long, you may not get the best price or the entire move may be over. The signal will appear on the close of a candle, so you can get ready ahead of time. You’re also taught the rules that constitute an entry signal. You’ll know if there’s a good probability the closing of the candle will cause the signal to appear. In other words, you’ll know what the signal software is doing, so you can anticipate when signals will appear. Got it? So, what about after-market or after-hours trading? Again, off-hours trading is known for slow or choppy conditions. The Trade Scalper is one of the best price action methods from DayTradeToWin to trade because it requires less volatility than other methods. You may want to look at after-hours trading charts to see if there has been decent volatility. Check if the ATR, using a period value of four, has been two to four points. Has there also been consistent direction? If so, successful trading during that time period may be possible. There are no guarantees, so stick with what is recommended or experiment in simulation mode first.

Trading E-mini S&P Price Action Record Highs

/ April 5, 2021

With the E-mini S&P finally pushing beyond the 4,000 level, we have a new record high. Can you remember not too long ago when breaking 3,000 was a big deal? It makes you think of inflation, doesn’t it? Regardless of the underlying currents and who or what manipulates the markets on a regular basis, we can still find entry opportunities as seen here. You’ll see a number of Long opportunities that coincide with the bullish trend. It’s John Paul from DayTradeToWin using the method. Notice anything unusual about the chart in the YouTube thumbnail? Hint: it’s a range chart. That means every candle is going to be set at a certain height or capped at a certain value, or range, of price activity. This is a 2-range chart, so every candle represents two price movements: two ticks of movement that is, regardless of however much time it took for two ticks of activity to occur. The yellow line on the bottom that looks like Bart Simpson’s hair is actually the ATR. It’s entirely unusable on an range chart. ATR means “average true range” and if the range of each candle is already “locked in” at two ticks, there is no point in calculating an average, so don’t use the ATR with a range chart. With purchase of the Trade Scalper, you’ll learn how to trade range charts, including what profit target and stop loss to use. Range charts are great when the E-mini or other futures are slow. However, when the E-mini is fast, the range chart will be moving too fast to be worth trading. By the way, the Atlas Line software can also be used for scalping. The longest an Atlas Line trade should extend is approximately 20 minutes. For many traders, such a relatively short period qualifies as scalp trading. Typically, the maximum Trade Scalper trade is about five minutes. The real-time market activity will determine the duration. The time-based stop is what “gets you out” after a certain period. Note that it’s not possible to set a true time-based stop loss in NinjaTrader, so you’ll have to pay attention to passing time using minute-based candles or whatever within NinjaTrader.
