One of the easiest price structures to find on a chart is a price channel, and we use price channels with a simple day trading strategy to take only the highest percentage trades each day. I use the trend-channel drawing tool within NinjaTrader 7 charts to help me define the channels with ease.
One of my favorite ways to turn 1 move into 2 winning trades in any market is the Slingshot Pattern. This is most often a 13-range 2-Step Pattern into a 21/34-range wave pattern and its some of the best trading you will see in our live trade room!
One of my favorite day trading strategies uses the previous day’s trading range (PHOD and PLOD) to give me 3-5 high-percentage trading opportunities every day. I call this the inside / outside day trading strategy, and all you need are some simple tools and a simple plan of attack to make some easy profit with this day trading strategy.
Every professional day trader has one thing in common, they have mastered their morning routine. For me personally, my morning routine is the most significant advantage I can give myself every day for many reasons.
Price structure is one of the most important aspects of learning to day trade because it gives you clues to find the best opportunities to profit each day. The term ‘structure’ refers to how the market has been ‘put together’. Is the market bullish? Bearish? Sideways? What does the market as a whole look like, and what does the ‘structure’ of the market tell us?
If I could day trade with any strategy for the rest of my career it would be a price wedge. No, it’s not because price wedges are easy to draw, and it’s not because price wedges occur more frequently than any other price structure…it’s because of the market personality, which makes it very easy for me to anticipate what will happen BEFORE it does.
The Dollar Index Correlation Strategy is a day trading strategy we use on any liquid market we wish to trade. I use this day trading strategy at major turning points in the Dollar Index Futures market, looking for the highest percentage day trading opportunities using the DX. Specifically, i want to be selling when the dollar index is rising at support, and buying when the dollar index is falling from resistance.
We capitalize on fake-out breakouts with a very simple day trading strategy that uses basic technical indicators and a general understanding that the market gives us big CLUES before it attempts to break out of a current trading range.
Double-tops and Double-bottoms may be the highest percentage ‘price structure’ we use as traders. It doesn’t matter what type of trader; scalper, intraday, position or swing trading, we LOVE it when we see double-tops or double-bottoms because they are so consistently profitable. I have a simple day trading strategy that allows me to identify these patterns and then profit from them with low-risk trades.
Trade Management is a vital part of your trading plan, and most new traders start using trailing stops very early in their careers. Most of the time trailing stops COST you profits, rather than help you make MORE profit.
