Day Trading Strategy with our Trigger Line Technical Indicator

-          Using our Trigger Line

o    Proprietary indicator developed for the Advanced Members of SOT.com

o    You own the indicator, you own the code

o    You never have any monthly fees

o    Beginner’s Course defines the indicators we use

o    The advanced course shows you exactly how we use it

o    Wave Pattern:

§  Trend continuation

§  Steep slope to the trigger line

§  Make sure I’m not trading into it, use it as support and resistance

o    Breaker Pattern:

§  Trend continuation

§  Steep slope to the trigger line

§  Make sure I’m not trading into it, use it as support and resistance

o    2-Step Pattern

§  Counter-trend trade

§  Do not care about the SLOPE of the trigger line

§  I care most about where the location is

§  I use it as support and resistance

    

o    Targets:

§  I ALWAYS look for the trigger lines to be final profit targets

o    Stops:

§  I like to use a combination of swing high/low levels on your chart, as well as the slower timeframe trigger lines.

o    Avoiding a trade

§  Flat trigger lines are always a caution, no matter which timeframe they are on

§  When all the trigger lines are the same price

·         34range = 97.50

·         21range = 97.53

·         13range = 97.49

o    Staying in the trade longer

§  When I see a BIG WIDE OPEN SPACE between two trigger lines

§  Tells us the price will act like a magnet towards that next level, and the more space we have the more profit we make

§  Make sure the trigger line is sloped in the direction of your trade.

§  The steeper the slope, the faster the market has moved, so you may want to look for the next profit target

§  Very steep slope = take some profit, this may end of reversing.

§  When the market is LAUNCHING, it results in steep slope, lots of speed, and therefore, you need to take profit at the next level of res/sup

§  Remember, the faster it rises, the faster it falls.

-          1030reversal

o    At 1030am the big money enters the market and starts to push the price around

o    The little guys can only step back and watch

-          BIG MONEY TRIGGER LINE:

o    THE levels where the BIG MONEY react

o    We use it for day traders as the profit target

o    For swing traders it’s the entry area.

-          On whippy days like we expect this week, is it better to use small stops and targets (in and out quickly) or is it better to use wider stops and targets (let it wiggle around)

o    Tight stops and tight targets will bounce you out too easily (Monday’s 2 losses)

o    Wider stop and target will be ideal, but beware, I need to make sure this is NOT outside my risk tolerance

o    Small accounts need to be very careful in whippy trading days b/c we cant get away with a very wide stop

o    Larger accounts can easily make money with a wider stop and a wide target.

o    New trader, it’s a tough day, what do I do?

o    Look for pattern on the 34 and 21range charts

o    Take the entries on the 13range and 4range charts

o    Use the 13 and 4range charts to place your stop

o    Keep your stop nice and tight using the faster timeframe, but not too tight to get stopped out too early.

-          Best 13range wave:

o    Buy at support

o    Sell at resistance

o    Increasing speed

o    Plenty of room for the trade to run

o    Look for multiple levels of support/resistance to help your trade.

o    Look where the 21r trigger line is, is it above/below you?
