Hello Traders,

For 2014 I would like to wish all of you discipline and patience in your trading!

WOW! Volatility the first 90 minutes of cash open reminded me almost of the summer of 2008…..
Market gaped higher based on APPLE earnings yesterday but when cash opened took a nose dive based on news from Ukraine….

Times like that are dangerous for MOST traders. yes, some of the more experienced or perhaps well capitalized traders look for days like this but for many others the fast and powerful moves can be a little too much…..

My advice? Know who you are as trader, learn to trade with stops, learn to lower your exposure/ trading quantity when volatility picks up and most of all if at any time you feel VERY UNCOMFORTABLE…take a few minutes, step away from the machine, take some deep breaths and decide if and how to continue….

In between see below my mini SP 500 chart ( 8 ticks range chart) along with my proprietary indicators/ ALGO from today:

EP - E-mini S&P 500, Equalized Active Continuation, Primary Session: : Range Bar, 8 Tick Units

EP – E-mini S&P 500, Equalized Active Continuation, Primary Session: : Range Bar, 8 Tick Units

Would you like to have access to my DIAMOND and TOPAZ ALGOs as shown above and be able to apply for any market and any time frame on your own PC ?  You can now have a three weeks free trial where I enable the ALGO along with few studies for your own sierra/ ATcharts OR CQG Q Trader.

Hello Traders,

For 2014 I would like to wish all of you discipline and patience in your trading!

Getting Clues from other markets?

When day-trading a specific market do you only look at the chart for that specific market? maybe you took it a step further and you are viewing multiple time frame charts for the same market which is a good step in my eyes.

Now lets take this even one step further by observing what markets have correlation, direct or inverse to the market you are trading, perhaps this can help you make decisions when trading.

I will give a few examples from my experience:

When I am in a position in the mini SP 500, I will often observe what the bonds are doing ( many times inverse correlation), I will take notice of what the Dow, Russell and NASDAQ are doing as well ( direct correlation)

If I am trading crude oil, I will many times pay attention to what unleaded gas and heating oil are doing (very close, although not direct correlation) as well as what WTI crude is doing.

One more example may be when I have a position trade in beans and I will try to get a feel for the overall direction of the grain markets (is there a trend? are they sideways?) by looking at corn, wheat in general and then look to see what bean oil and soy meal which are by products of beans are doing.

One question that can be asked is “what do you mean observe this or that market”? and a good example will be:

Lets say I am short the mini SP 500 and I am not sure if to take profit or not. I look at the mini Russell and see that mini Russell just made new lows, that will give me more confidence to stay in my short position as I feel there might be more room to the downside.
