A Professional Approach to Trading Futures

Some readers may know of the "News Event" that dropped after the close of the NY session
(Trump's tariffs struck down"). We assume that this effect will have legs and continue into
the next session and beyond.

Hello Trader333

Thanks for being kind (and posting a "like")

I post this because (if you review the previous comment)
I suggest that the upside from the "news" (Courts blocking
Trump Tariffs) would continue. Obviously I was wrong

What I want to show you (Paul), is that even when you are wrong
using this system you have a "2nd chance" to make money...How you may ask?
Looking at the chart below, notice that I label the initial open and the bars that
follow as "Leg1"....This is why we ask retail students to refrain from trading AT
the open, and instead to monitor only. What you see is something that I teach
and that is to observe formation of "Leg 1" and THEN to trade "Leg 2" because the
odds favor a continuation entry. Same Setup (1-2-3)

What I am discovering during my weekend analysis is that, there are often multiple
"Leg 1-Leg 2 setups" on the 5 min time frame.

Good luck

Nvidia earnings might have helped a bit too 🙂

London Session opened less then an hour ago
and already we have +5 on a small scalp at the open
We have a person sitting in from our first class, and
they are going to try out this simplified version of
our original VWAP envelope. This version requires
only the Ema, AVWAP, FRVP, and the ability to learn
the system rules, and wait patiently for the setups
to present.

Here is the chart

We attach a chart showing what professionals call the "Backend" of the Weekly Cycle
"Reset Wednesday" is the start of this side of the cycle. On Wed, institutions look at price
in relation to previous highs/lows, THEN they will either "Dump" inventory (as they did this
week) followed by moving price up ("Pump") where they will accumulate and later sell during
the "Off Hours" (at or near the close of London Session). This cycle can and will reverse of course.

The attached chart also shows the obvious (multiple) tests of the "Reset" low. Notice that at each
retest, buyers came in to defend and also to add to their long inventory. THEN TODAY, we saw
institutions move the market down, convincing everyone that the market was headed lower, only
to reverse, TRAPPING bears who will now have to decide whether to buy back their shorts and get long
or to scale in. If they decide to buy back shorts, the market is going to continue up

Earlier today, as we watched this unfold, we took a long scalp, then waited while the market opened
and dropped. I had several former students watching along with me, some of them took the short
trade and made money. I waited for the retest of the lows.

Here are two charts, one showing the "big picture" the other showing today's session and showing
the reversal. HERE IS HOW YOU GO FROM LOSING TO WINNING.

1) Learn to see the big picture (keep the weekly chart in front of you) so that you can anticipate where
the big institutions might move the market.
2) When you see a breakout (up or down) check your Weekly Chart. How likely is it that this breakout will
continue?
3) All of this is about awareness of the context. Professionals operate from the big picture chart, and they
while they DO trade the false breakouts (for scalps), they KNOW that the real money is made by catching
the reversal. This one was worth +60 pts.

Final Note

I woke up and saw this developing scenario and made the necessary changes to my trading plan
and when my friends saw this they said, "how confident are you that this WILL happen?"
I replied, I can tell you that I have seen it before many times. I don't know if it will play out
but if it does, at least you will start to recognize it sooner, because it is on your radar NOW
Lets watch and see
