Trading a Melt-up Market (Non-Farm Friday’s Plan)

It’s been a busy week, but we’re not finished yet.

Tomorrow is “Non-Farm Friday”, which usually means more volatility and more trading opportunities before we finish up the week…

Emini ES and Crude Oil are both bullish into a range, which means we’ll be looking for failures and breakout patterns.

Gold is officially a “melt-up market” which means I’ll be looking for two powerful trade setups to finish off the week. Are you ready? Let’s get ready for tomorrow…

Trading the Election Chaos (FOMC Trading Plan)

Things are getting interesting this week, aren’t they?

The Presidential Election may have been on Tuesday, but we still don’t know who will be declared the winner. That means more volatility and plenty of opportunities in the markets this week…

And let’s not forget about the FOMC Announcement tomorrow afternoon, because it forces traders to make the most of the morning session, which is sure to be an exciting one. I’m excited for Thursday, here’s my trading plan…

Breakouts, Failures & Reversals (Post-Election Plan)

We’re headed into (what could be) one of the most volatile trading sessions of the year tomorrow morning. With the results starting to trickle in for the Presidential Election, I want to make sure my plan is ready for Wednesday…

Markets are bullish into the close this evening, but we’re trading at major resistance levels, which could easily hold for the bears…

Knowing this, I’m looking for bull breakouts, seller failures, and reversals patterns so I’m ready for battle tomorrow morning. Are you ready for the craziness? Here’s my plan…

Avoid these Traps on Election Day (Tuesday’s Plan)

We’re heading into one of the busiest weeks of the year. With the Presidential Election tomorrow, FOMC on Thursday, and the Jobs Report on Friday, there should be plenty of trading opportunities in store for us this week…

But first, I’m seeing some hidden traps on the charts tonight. I want to make sure you aren’t a victim of these traps, and I’ll show you how to turn them into reliable opportunities on Election Day Tuesday. Let’s take a look…

Is It Too Late to Get Short? (Friday’s Trade Plan)

We’re headed into the end of the week and the end of month tomorrow morning, which means increased volatility and a smaller window of opportunity for the best setups…

It’s been a busy week for the bears, and it’s tempting to think all the best shorts have been taken, but it’s not too late to find reliable sell setups on Friday morning if you know where to find them. Let me show you…

Don’t Get Short Until You Watch (Thurs. Trading Plan)

It was a bloodbath in the markets today, with all major sectors crashing lower after new lockdowns were announced in parts of Europe early in the US session…

After the dust settled, markets began trading sideways, and those ranges tell us exactly where to find the most reliable entries tomorrow morning…

But not so fast – those ranges also tell us momentum will play a key role in our choice of entry patterns, so make sure you watch this before you get short…

Last-Minute Entry Patterns (My Plan for Wednesday)

Markets are on the move this evening; sellers are trying to retest major lows on Crude Oil and the Eminis while Gold is pushing up into the highs of the weekly range…

I’m looking for shorts across all three markets tomorrow, but with major support levels just below us, I’ll be picking my spots wisely with some last-minute entry patterns. Are you ready for Wednesday?

3 Steps to Success (Tuesday’s Trading Plan)

Markets took a tumble lower today after seeing another record-high number of new COVID cases over the weekend, along with the lack of any progress on a stimulus deal here in the US…

The most important clue, however, is that we’re seeing range-bound markets going into Tuesday morning, which means we’re focused on trading failures and breakout patterns.

There are some tricky situations going into the opening bell tomorrow so make sure you follow my 3 rules for trading success, let’s get started…

Focus on Failures for Friday (2try Strategy)

Markets appear bullish going into Friday’s trading session, but look closely and you’ll see quite a few reasons to stick with the short side to finish the week…

Emini ES is trading at the high of the weekly range, Crude Oil screams of exhaustion and the bounce on Gold appears to be nothing more than a bear flag…

There’s only one problem. Momentum. With the bulls in short-term control, I’ll need to stay patient for the best failure patterns to trigger the entries. Here’s my plan…

Stimulus Trading Strategy (Plan the trade, trade the plan)

We’re headed into what could be the biggest news day of the week tomorrow morning, and with everyone waiting on the next stimulus deal announcement, I’ve been busy getting myself ready for all possible outcomes…

Gold and the Eminis are both range-bound, so I’ll be focused on failures and breakouts, while Crude Oil is just begging for bull traps tomorrow morning. Are you ready? Let’s take a look…
