Very detailed education video on trading ES

    Posted by matt on 1st of Apr 2016 at 01:17 pm

    Here's a very detailed video I made this morning showing an example of how I trade ES, using the typical trade setup I've shown many times where I'm buying pullbacks in an uptrend.  In this example I show where I use the 60 Stochastic trending above 80%, a 10 Stochastic oversold, and BR Squeeze.  In the video I first discuss a static example, but then I show how I would execute my orders during a live trade using Ninja Trader's playback feature.  It's one thing seeing a static chart, it's another setting the trade develop and flesh out, entering the trade, moving stops and targets etc.  

    anyway CLICK HERE to watch the video, I could have made it better had a restarted it and not done it during the trading day, but I think this will be a great example for you nonetheless.  

    NOTE I noticed that the video doesn't began for about 10 seconds it's blank for that time, so wait for it to start

    Great Example

    Watching the video while you replay the market is a great educational tool.  To test my skills as a student, I would like to play a candle, then evaluate the chart, play another candle, evaluate the chart, etc. without seeing/knowing what is going to happen. Thank you Matt for sharing.  Sincerely,

    even though I was using

    even though I was using a 1 min ES chart on that video, as I said earlier a nice trade setup had occurred on the 5 min shortly after for a much larger trade, here's a chart of that.  On this one the 60 dipped slightly below 80% but the Squeeze indicator cycled nicely for a long trigger there 1 tick over the candle, then you simply trailed your stop up

    anyway this type of trade is for trending days, not on chop days

    Ok thanks

      Hi Matt a couple of questions

    Hi Matt a couple of questions regarding the ES:

     

     ( I included a 2 min chart, at 2:30pm today, so that you see what I am talking)

     

    1. Is the trade good if the 60 stochastics goes below 80 a few ticks and the 10,3 Stochastics gets oversold?

    2. I know the 1 min and the 5 min , however when choosing between the 2min and the 3 min…which one?

    3. The squeeze indicator went a few tiny red bars below the 0 line, is the trade still good? For example on the attach chart it went -.25 red

    4. Which indicator to use the 60 stochastics, the squeeze, the BB bands pinching?

    that setup formed on the 5 min chart a short while again, so even though the video was used showing a 1 min chart, that setup occurred on a 5 min ES chart on the last pullback for a larger bounce bigger trade

    about 22 min in I show a good example of a trade, if you want to skip a bit.
