Day Trading Emini Futures Trade Setup That Works Daily - YouTube

welcome to this video on day trading emini futures one of my favorite setups
[4]
that I look for every single day
[6]
this is very very reliable I mighty to add this to your treating arsenal
[11]
so here it is it is a volatility trade based on behavior of the traders that is
[19]
fairly darn predictable
[21]
so this is not one of those trades that's based on
[24]
oh you know some ancient Phoenician numerology or something that's esoteric
[29]
astrology or anything like that
[31]
this is based on the very real behavior of traders especially those and the
[37]
exchanges and on the floor and i noticed this when I was at the chicago
[41]
mercantile exchange was on the floor and you can take a real advantage that I
[46]
mean a lot of the pits are closed down now but i'm talkin back in the
[49]
the olden days when I was getting some training there and size down on the
[53]
floor of the mercantile exchange S&P pit and it was very obvious that people
[59]
would trade very actively during the morning and then they would go to lunch
[64]
and we all know this thats not telling you anything you don't know there but as
[69]
I was watching the e-mini futures pit
[73]
it was very interesting because most people know that general rule the
[78]
markets most active in the morning and then dies down in the at lunchtime and
[82]
then volatility can come back in the afternoon however it was very
[87]
interesting because when i was there you could literally and physically see which
[91]
traders were leaving and which ones were not and that's think that's a real
[95]
advantage it really has and so you can see whether you know the whales were
[100]
leavin or if they were staying in too early lunch sometimes they wouldn't
[103]
leave and then other times they leave and they come right back
[107]
and so it's almost like they're trying to fool people that they actually were
[110]
and because they knew they knew everybody knows this general pattern and
[116]
what everybody knows something guess what it's going to stop working so
[119]
sometimes they'd leave early sometimes they stay late
[123]
sometimes they come back to literally and so forth him yeah there's an
[126]
advantage in being able to
[127]
see that but if you're not trade at the the floor
[131]
no and I'm screen trader myself then there's a general rule that we can
[136]
follow and then we just have to watch the energies in the chart around that
[139]
time
[140]
so here it is and again this works for day trading emini futures but you can
[145]
use this for the day trading anything's really specifically for day trading not
[149]
for swing trading because it's based around the time of day and that is the
[153]
end of lunch time when people are coming back and they start treating actively
[159]
again
[160]
so here's how we would do it as a screen traders here's how I do it
[163]
so there is a little range of time
[167]
so these times down here these are California times because I'm in
[171]
California so that would be noon eastern so you can do this with stocks to buy
[176]
the way stock market works the exact same way
[178]
so this would be noon eastern and obviously then that's 11 central futures
[184]
mostly trade out of Chicago and so that's the big big big futures market
[189]
there and you're looking to for the market kind of flat here and to come
[194]
back in somewhere after ten o'clock is ten o'clock would be one o'clock east
[202]
rim
[202]
so this is your lunch hour if you want to call it that
[206]
now sometimes they take longer than an hour but it's usually after this time
[210]
and I'm looking at it anywhere from like about 10 15 -
[214]
before 11 so about 10 15 - 10:45 kind of that half hour zone is really the magic
[224]
zone that we're looking for
[226]
ok so if you look at this and we've done some recent videos on bollinger bands
[230]
and bullets are bands help you with this - because when the market state now and
[233]
go into low volatility and so you see the Bollinger Bands squeeze together
[238]
here is people leave a
[241]
very squeeze again here and then what we're doing is we're looking for an
[245]
expansion out of the contraction
[249]
that's the whole point after lunch is over around this time
[254]
so that's the setup now how do I we identify those trades well you can tap
[260]
whatever trading method you use whatever signals use whatever indicators you use
[265]
I don't have time to go into my whole trading method obviously in just a few
[268]
minutes here but so this is
[270]
that's one of the nice things about this is that you can really apply this to
[273]
whatever technical analysis method you use but i find using bullet demands
[277]
really helps you know what I'd be looking for here - Stevie a little
[281]
indication is you know first of all cycle hi this is a kind of an average
[288]
moment to exhaustion pattern here for us and then we look to trade in the
[292]
direction of the expansion and here for watching my previous videos on bollinger
[296]
bands the Bollinger Bands we get the lower one and they move away from each
[300]
other and that's a good indication of increased volatility in this direction
[306]
so that would be one example
[309]
ok let's go to the next day we'll just do a couple of days in succession here
[313]
and let's see look around that same time
[317]
alright so here we go and each one each setup will look a little different
[321]
that's the setup is not necessarily the same all the time
[324]
what is the same or we're looking for is an expansion of volatility
[328]
so here we get a cycle hi and then this is the this is the key here so this time
[335]
market comes back up makes another cycle high but does not touch the upper
[340]
bollinger band that shows weakness to the upside therefore we're looking to go
[343]
short also momentum is decreasing that momentum shift at the high before we'd
[349]
be looking to go short and that's exactly what happens
[353]
volatility comes in dramatically to the downside
[356]
see this is the thing about volatility it determines the range of your profits
[361]
and that's why this trade is so good is because you're trading inside of low
[366]
volatility and catching a new high
[368]
volatility movement in the market let's look at the next date
[372]
we like to catch these big momentum moves why because well a lot of profit
[376]
to the better reward part of the risk-reward ratio
[382]
all right here we go again around the same time now you could this one came in
[386]
a little earlier came right at the end of lunch time would be your signal and
[392]
you can't read this couple of different ways again made here we get our momentum
[396]
signal to go along comes up touches you
[400]
upper Bollinger Band all right and you can even wait to little later if you
[404]
wanted to and just take the first retrace on the trend here this ends up
[408]
going you know quite aways get a nice move again
[411]
big move in the direction of your trade which is good for profits
[417]
we like profits all right in here is yet another one
[421]
this would you look at this will be our last one because we already kind of late
[424]
here into this
[425]
so again notice the Bollinger Bands squeeze occurring we touch the lower
[430]
Bollinger Band we do not touch the upper Bollinger Band and then again
[436]
bollinger band they start to move away from each other we go into the lower
[440]
Bollinger Band we've got a cycle hi
[444]
we've got a lower momentum momentum shift here and that's our key to take
[448]
this in the direction down as it expands and again the pull move depending on how
[453]
long you want to stay in it
[454]
pretty good move right pretty good profits there so that's the idea is to
[459]
look for keys again a couple of tips there but you can use other methods as
[463]
well whatever your training method is to look for trades coming out of lunch for
[468]
increased volatility for some pretty nice big trades so that's when we had a
[473]
trade
[474]
emini futures you can use it with stocks as well of course
