• Pivot points
  Pivot points can also be used on weekly and monthly data as well. Many traders will use R1 and S1 as breakout points. Buying trend continuation above and below R1 and S1 respectively.
• History of Trading
  When civilization began, trading started. Bartering for different commodities has probably taken place since the beginning of time. Coined money appeared sometime between 800 B.C. and 700 B.C. Soon after that, instead of bartering as a means of business, coined money was used.
• Trend Direction
  It is important to know this at all times, as you must always trade in the direction of the trend, never against it. Trend direction is mainly determined by reference to the 15-minute bar chart and where the price bars are trading in reference to the 8 and 10 moving averages.
• Moving Averages
  When the price is trading above the 10 moving average line on the 5- minute chart, with at least one full price bar having closed above and sitting on top of the line, this indicates strength, signaling potential upside and possibly a long trade forming.
• Snake Eye Trading Method
  This method applies the same techniques used by the professional Floor Traders and is based around what a 5 minute bar is indicating at any given time. It is a simple, yet very effective method of trading that does not rely on complicated, technical methodology or indicators.
• Momentum Example
  Trading the trend with momentum example: I see the Dow moving up fast (momentum) it’s over 25 points and the Nasdaq is up substantially over 15 points and moving also. The S&P is 3 points higher than yesterday. Look at your chart and see where the trend is.
• Keep an eye on market
  You need to keep your eye on the Dow and watch for any fast reversals, as that tends to affect the S&P. Do not trade gaps before any major holiday unless it is a gap down. When it gaps down, you buy when the bar penetrates the gap. Remember! Look at the risk-toreward ratio.
• Building a Trading Plan
  Requires using technical analysis, fundamental analysis (very little) and some select indicators, e.g. the Dow, Nasdaq and the S&P 500. I call these indices indicators because we use them to find momentum to make the trade on the Emini S&P.
• Momentum
  As defined in the dictionary: 1. Symbol p Physics. A measure of the motion of a body equal to the product of its mass and velocity. Also called linear momentum. 2. An impetus of a physical object in motion. b. Impetus of a nonphysical process, such as an idea or a course of events:
• Day Trading Concept
  when the Dow, Nasdaq and the Emini S&P 500 are all trending up or down, it can signal a time to make a trade. Waiting for the three to become synchronized can take awhile, so just be patient. What I am looking for is momentum. It may take an hour or so.
• Keep a Diary for Learning
  Make screen shots of your trades or print them out if you have a printer. While paper trading, make screen shots of the chart and save it on computer, to show where the Dow and Nasdaq were, when you decided to make the trade.
• Knowledge for Trading Futures
  Purchase books on trading futures written by famous traders. You may contact exchange for a vast array of free publications regarding commodity trading, history, facts, and data…,You may search at internet for free information. You should be familiar with trading futures.
• Technological and Institutional Innovation
  From the year 1000 to 1820, advances in technology were much slower than they have been since, but they were nevertheless a significant component of the growth process. Without improvements in agriculture, the increase in world population could not have been sustained.
• Stock Transactions
  There are three ways of transacting in stocks: Buy - we believe that the stock will appreciate in value over time, or require the stock for its risk characteristics as part of our portfolio (We are expecting a bullish market for the stock). It is also said that we are long in the stock.
• Investment Tip 3
  The famous graphic artist M.C. Escher said that “most of the time we are meekly sleepwalking on a treadmill.” In other words we are acting in an unconscious way and making little progress. This certainly applies to investing.
