  • When is this page updated?

    We update this page, with our plan and outlook for the next trading day, by midnight Eastern Time prior to every trading session on the US futures markets. If you’re only trading the morning session, it’s a good idea to check in around 8am Eastern Time for the latest pre-open updates. We also post updates as necessary during the day, usually mid-day ET.

  • Your charts are too big for me

    This is the most frequent comment we receive. Consider the following:


    a) It's important to ask the question: why do we want to trade "small" charts. If because that's where our edge is, fine. But if we want to trade small, noisy charts, because that's the only thing we think we have money for, we're in trouble: we will most likely lose our money. We have to pick our battles, i.e. our timeframe not based on our wishes, but on where our edge is.

    b) Ok, is there some good news?

    Yes, lots:

    - With us, you'll be trading with an edge. Without an edge, there is no point in risking a single dollar on the markets.

    - Now, most of our trades are intraday trades, the 240min timeframe still being six times less than a day.

    - Also, many of our 240min trade ideas can be adapted to even smaller timeframes by simply waiting for the next pullback on the lower timeframe (LTF) after the 240min trigger.

    - Also, many of our trade ideas are on currency futures. On relatively small accounts, they can be executed on forex, which allows more granular risk management.

    - Many of our trade ideas can also be executed on ETFs: say, GLD for a GC trade or TLT for bond futures.

    - Finally, on smaller accounts trades can be executed with micro contracts (MES, MGC etc.). While some will say "that way you can't make money", our answer is: but one will learn to fish, and that's worth all the money!

    It is clear our service allows the capital accumulation process to be implemented on any reasonably-sized account.

  • Miscellaneous notes

    - Make sure you check out the links above in order to make best use of this service.
    - We tend to scale back activities on the indexes leading up to FOMC releases, while being aware that the FOMC news release can often serve as a catalyst.

for the trading day of tuesday, 2020 06 30

News at 10am ET.

Indexes: strong close indicates bulls are in control. Act accordingly.
Currencies: waiting to see what the USD is up to. Bullish setup setting up on 6A.
Commodities: CL likely to head higher. GC/SI bullish move in progress. Breakout setting up on HG
Financials: ZB/ZN bullish breakout on the 240min has occurred, consolidation in progress, likely before moving higher.

4pm ET update:

ES STUDY - Consolidation (price acceptance) above yesterday's high. Another hint that we're heading higher. Previous pivot at 3200. Important: as always we're not looking for clues that support our bullish bias. We're looking for information that would say our bias is wrong! Only in the absence of such information we continue to be bullish. This is to defend ourselves from  our cognitive biases.

Measured move projection to identify potential target area. Measured moves are not magic, but simply based on current volatility characteristics of the market.

The 3.30pm pullback into the close. Warning to new users: not every day is this easy.

2pm ET update: looking ahead: measured moved expected on CL, strength emerging on major currency pairs, SI “just had to” (see last night’s video)

News at 8.30am (CL/HO).

Note: lots of surprises in Wednesday’s session. Our entry method, whereby we insist on being triggered in by price action, kept us out of harm.

Indexes: waiting to see if bulls regain control
Currencies: waiting to see if DX breakdown continues
Commodities: GC/SI difficult environment continues with a bullish bias. See video for potential entries in case of bullish breakout

Indexes: Consolidation of Monday’s move in Tuesday’s session. Wednesday: further advance expected.
Currencies: DX breakdown in progress, long setups on major pairs
Commodities: GC/SI difficult environment continues with a bullish bias.
Financials: ZB/ZN sideways action continues with likely bullish resolution eventually.

12pm update: the morning session’s surprises highlight the effectiveness of our entry method: none of our entries were triggered, saving us from some trouble.
- we expected a breakout on the ES, never got triggered.
- we expected setups to be triggered on 6A, 6E, 6S (while DX breaking down), none of that happened.
While the above is not what we expected for this session, no harm was done, thanks to our trigger rule.

Parallel with these moves, ZB/ZN are waking up. See the whole story below.

for the trading day of tuesday, 2020 06 23

Commodities: GC/SI monitoring for upside break. CL expect an upside break, HG triggered, HO long in progress
Financials: ZB/ZN “monitoring for upside break”, we said yesterday, upside break in progress today

12pm update: took profits on commodities. See ZN setup below: higher lows (pressure) against resistance on the dialy, offering entry point on the 240min. Note: technically, you can finetune your entry on a LTF, that’s fine, but your stop should be off that long tail on the 240min. An excellent setup. ZB confirms.

10.30am update: more movement than expected, but all movements as expected: HO, HG working, GC/SI and CL breaking to the upside, ZB/ZN holding/consolidating outside the channel, indexes holding. If you look back at the jpgs and videos of the past two days, everything working as expected, the market is telling us that our method works.

Financials: ZB/ZN back in the range

4pm update:

12.30pm update: got out of SI. ES: a pullback is welcome, but this is too much of a good thing (looks like the FOMC rate announcement and the less-than-rosy rise in virus cases are affecting the market’s mood). Treasuries rally, GC fails to behave (again and still) as a ‘flight to safety’ asset. (Impossible not see GC has been behaving differently from 2011.) HO didn’t trigger, so no harm there.

8am update: will be looking for first bullflag above yesterday’s high after the open on the ES. 6S moves as expected.

for the trading day of wednesday, 2020 06 03

Note: what we see is the markets processing information from the outside world, and markets are even more unpredictable or often strange-acting than usual (see GC, BTC, ZB). Let price action be your guide: do not argue with or try to outreason the markets. If the ES is heading to the double-top, so be it, we are not here to figure out why, we’re here to trade the chart.

12noon update: ES STUDY - This is likely to break to the upside, but do not expect an easy ride. Also, tight intraday stops are almost guaranteed to be taken out by the inevitable noise that is characteristic of low volatility environments. So proper stop is likely to be below Friday's low. MES or an ETF equivalent may be an option on smaller accounts.

10am ET update:
