Patterns Complete



Dec 28th, 2010

This is a follow up video from yesterday. We had a outlook and that outlook is what happened today. This is the value of knowing how to get the outlook and we do a video each night to our members with our outlook and we break that down into specifics.

Knowing the after patterns complete the market goes into a transition period before the next pattern occurs is very valuable and most traders are over trading the transition period. These are the thoughts of "I hope it continues higher" or " It has came up so far it HAS to come back down".

In reality those are just thoughts to something bigger than your thoughts which are the patterns. It is one thing to think something it is another to place a bet on it. If you feel like you are hoping more than trading it is best to slow down and learn more before taking the next trade with real money.

Pattern Video



Dec 27th, 2010

This is a quick video following up from the pattern repeat post. The first step is knowing the patterns but the second step is to understand how one pattern leads into the next pattern. It is really the only way to build confidence in each pattern.

It is not as simple as just going back on your charts for the last 3 months to find this one pattern on a 3 minute chart it is actually much more than that. It is knowing that the highs going into this pattern give odds on the pattern in the video meaning; if there are high odds that we are at a important high that gives us more confidence that we do go down after we hit the first X with the ??? marks on it inside the video.

One leg give odds on the next leg and without knowing the odds on the high you will most likely trade in the chop or the "Mid Pattern".

Some traders think that every minute in the market is like the next meaning that no matter where you are at in the pattern a trade should be taken and that is not the case. Yes, you can hit the buy/sell button anytime during the day but if you want to trade with odds or a reason behind the buy and sells then not everywhere should be traded.

Even if you are just a scalper just think how valuable knowing the bigger pattern is?? Maybe your scalper chart says to go long right at the 10 minute resistance (it most always will) the value is you knowing that the 10 minute is more relevant that the scalper and to skip that long trade.

The trades that are skipped can be the difference of you having a profitable day or a losing day.

Major High, Minor Low



Dec 20th , 2010

Today the TF hit our upper target. It actually went through it 6-7 ticks which is always a good thing if you are long up to the targets. The high today was a 10 minute completion area and after that high we had a 3 minute correction.

Going into tomorrow we will wait to see if there is a rejection of the support pattern to turn into a bigger correction. We do not try to pick tops but we do have a scalp set up that you can use if you are aggressive.

All support patters start as minor that could turn into major. It is important to know what to look for in each step of the pattern or else the pattern is worthless. This is why some get it and some do not meaning; some traders try to simplify everything and do not go the extra step. It is actually the extra step that is what makes it make sense! Without knowing each step you are really gambling. Do you agree?

We do not know everything and we hope we do not come across like some that think they know everything. We know what we do and how we trade and how we trade is a confirmed method that is pattern first and indicators second to confirm the pattern.

We did a 3 hour Webinar today for our members and this is recorded so all new members can see exactly how we broke down today and why.

Trying to pick the top?

Dec 18th, 2010

Have you been trying to pick the top of this market?

It is human nature to try to pick tops and bottoms in the markets. Most all humans are reactive meaning; they wait for something to happen then try to find the solution. With the markets this is where you wait for the 10 point move up and then you try to pick the top of that move with the thinking of "It went up so far it HAS to come back down??" (Notice the question marks there because you are never sure so it is really a question isn't it?

The problem with that type of thinking in the markets is that thinking is most likely a counter- trend thought because the move is going up so you really should be buying. Those emotions that tell you to try to pick the top of bottom are the same emotions as when you are sitting at the black-jack table thinking if you should bet $10.00 or $100.00 on the next hand. Sometimes you will get lucky and that $100.00 bet will pay off but if you sit there and continually bet that $100.00 you will lose it. We all know that trading is not gambling if you really know how to trade.

In reality you cannot wait for a big move and then expect the same type of move in the opposite direction two minutes later it does not work that way. So if you are trading with the "I hope it does this" or "It has to do this because I say so" type thinking you will most likely be a frustrated trader.

I can say these things with absolute confidence because I have been where you are right now. Trading did not come easy to me it took many MANY years for me to be able to have confidence in myself and what I am seeing on the charts. I spend the time and lost hard earned money for years and years before I became successful with my trading.

** I get off subject so back to the topic of this post***

Looking at the chart in this post you can see that there are many tops and some are minor and some are major. Tops are part of trading but there are different levels of importance to each top in the trend. In real-time it will look like every top is major unless you understand where the major targets are beforehand meaning; if the market has not completed to the target off the last major wave it is most likely not at a major top. We consider the tops that are not at major targets to be minor highs within the larger pattern. How does this help you??????

It will help you in more ways than I can post in this article but the main reason for this article is if we are not at a major top you can have confidence that the prior top will be broken. So how does it help in real-time? So many ways but the main thing is that after the top the market will go down to correct the last wave up so in that correction you are still thinking long and you will not get sucked in short because your mind is telling you we just hit a top. Think about it after the price falls off of a any top the thought that the prior high might be the absolute high or the "high for the next year" or whatever your thought might be.

Think if you had confidence to look for support to buy with the trend instead of fighting with yourself if the last high was the high or not. To the next point..........

Upper targets are levels to look to exit your long and take a break and look to re-enter at a better price. Levels are very important but with the markets there is always the next step because the chart keeps going doesn't it? Yes and this is why the next point is so important.

Once a target is hit it is what the market does AFTER the target is what is most important. This is the education that after a leg is complete you know what the next step of the process is going to be meaning; one pattern is complete now you know what to look for as the market flows into the next pattern. This is important in two ways:

1. The pattern after the last high will tell you if support is holding or breaking. If it is holding and they are bullish corrections then the market will start a new leg in the trend direction.

2. If the bullish pattern fails it will start a new bearish pattern.

It is important to know that at almost every top there will be a bullish pattern EVEN if that is really the top. It is the bullish pattern that fails and when it fails it is still just the very start of the bearish pattern and this is why you should not try to pick the exact top because you will have to sit through the bullish pattern that fails. It will still push up before it goes down and this is where it is best to sit on the sidelines because you will most likely get stopped anyways.

Back to the chart. Look at how many bullish corrections have happened on the 135 min chart in the last 3 months. At every minor top everyone gets scared it is the top so they stop going long (and miss the next move) or worse they convince themselves it is the top for no real reason and short against the up-trend (and miss the next move).

Notice how there are small circles and bigger circles. These are the major and minor waves we are talking about. We have noted every support or bullish correction to all of our members the day or even days before it actually happened. This way our members have a plan and understand that those pullbacks are levels to buy and not get sucked in short........

Patterns Repeat

Dec 17th, 2010

It has been a few days since our last post. We have been extremely busy but we wanted to take a minute to show how patterns repeat themselves over and over. It is important to understand that there are different degrees of the patterns and this is a great example of just that.

How we labeled it is not important meaning; the 1-8 is just a reference point to look at on the chart it is not a specific 1-8 pattern. We could have labeled it 10-18 it does not matter. Also this is not a Elliott Wave label.

In looking at the chart you can start at the left hand side where it says "Start of pattern" in blue. The 778.00 high was actually a target off the last wave but for this example just know it is a important high so we are looking for a correction. We went over that high live in our members Webinar. From that high we came down to make 1 then up to make 2 and so on to get to the "middle of the pattern". It is important to know that we have a way that we actually calculate each minor wave within what is labeled on this chart. It is also important to know on each leg or step of the pattern we also have a way to know where the next leg has the highest odds of completing.

We are predicting in a way that makes since and a way that we can repeat the thought every time on every leg. For this post it is too complex to try to explain each step so we just labeled the bigger waves.

Our target for the "middle of the pattern" was 766.00 and we had this number when the TF was at the 775 level. Just like we had 768.00 for wave 3 completion. These targets were only ticks off and we had them hours if not a day before they were hit. ALL of these videos are archived so all new members can go back and watch them. Anyone can say they have targets after the fact but we save all videos that are made prior to the targets so we cannot lie. Also these levels were called live through our IM intra-day alerts.

So as we follow the 1-8 on the first pattern you will see we get to the top of 8 where that is the end of pattern 1. Remember there were probably true patterns inside the bigger pattern which is 1-8 so you can gain odds on every leg before it even gets to that level.

The main thing we are trying to point in this article is see how at the top of 8 we start the process over with a new 1-8. If you look the second 1-8 looks exactly like the first 1-8 pattern except it is on a smaller degree that the first 1-8 pattern. Really look at the chart and you will see how it is almost identical.

Just like on the first 1-8 the second 1-8 was also calculated to the tick on most every turning point. Just like the first wave 5 the second wave 5 was hit within two ticks. That level is where most people are looking to short and we are looking to go long because it is support and the whole 1-8 is a bullish correction. Yes, the market can go down and it is still bullish that is what makes the higher lows.

This chart might seem complex to you now and maybe that is because patterns are new to you or maybe because you really do not know what to look for on each leg to confirm the last leg. It is a process to break down the market but it is absolutely necessary if you want to understand which direction you should be trading.

Things that look complex are only complex if you do not know what you are looking for. I know to some looking at this they might think this is over your head or how can anyone see this is real-time? The truth is it is actually easier than you think. Members that have only been with us two weeks could see this pattern before it was completed. Again, it is knowing what to look for and stepping back to see the bigger picture.

Some might say this is meaningless but it is actually the 100% opposite of meaningless this is how you make money in the markets. What if you knew wave 5 was support? Or that wave 2 was resistance? Or that wave 6-7-8 should be bought NOT shorted? Oh yea and the top of 8 on both patterns were almost the exact upper target to stop going long. Don't believe us? I get it there is a lot of BS out there but this is why we save our videos and we can not write something that is not the truth or we would be called out on it very quickly.

The point of this article is not to say you should have seen this because maybe you do not see the bigger pattern or do not know what to even look for. The point is to show you how patterns are very important to your trading and it is worth your time to learn them. Learn them from us or someone else the choice is yours but know that we have been trading for 15 years and we see that 95% of educators teach the pattern wrong because they are trading it wrong.

We are not bashing anyone because for how they trade maybe it works but for the way we trade we have a specific way to look at it and understand each step in the process. It is also important to say that we use bigger charts so we know the direction these patterns should be traded meaning; throughout both of these patterns we know we should really only be going long and all shorts are counter trend. You can trade it counter trend but it is important to know that you should look to cover the trade quicker before the targets are hit and trade less contracts.

Have a nice weekend,

Trading Journey Part 2

Stage #4

As time has passed from stage #3 you start telling yourself that if you trade again you will do everything different and that you will not take trades against the trend and you will obey your stops this time. Since some time has passed from stage #3 you are starting to become positive on the markets again and the negative thoughts are starting to turn into thoughts of you can do it if you just had some rules. (this is where it gets dangerous)

You might go on some free education sites and you start to learn every method you can in hopes to find the one that is right for you. You are still looking for the magical indicators but you have a different view on the markets because you have told yourself you will follow the rules. It is important to know that most trading rules are not good and most methods are not good but you will most likely try to learn them all thinking the more you know the better off you will be.

In reality what is actually happening in this stage is you are building bad habits and you are building confidence in the “main stream” way of trading which does not work. You will learn a lot in this stage but most of it will end up to be things you should not do but when you are in this stage you are told these are things to do. This is where the danger lies.

Your charts will have too many things on them at once and you will most likely use too many time frames. In reality you are adding more confusion into the charts and into your thought process. One day you might use one method and the next day you use a completely different method. This is very dangerous because you might be over analyzing the markets thinking there is a perfect set up that works in all market conditions.

In this stage you eventually find out that standard indicators have very low value but you still use them because you have no other way to look at the markets. You are now trying to predict if the indicator will be right this time. Most likely you will have very low confidence and still feel like you are gambling.

The result:

You are too confident because of thoughts you tell yourself about how “this time I will do it right” but you are still learning things that do not work because you do not understand the condition of the market or even the direction at this point. You are thinking that in using 3 standard indicators on your chart you have a edge but in reality everyone has those indicators and for the most part standard indicators will harm you more than help you.

Putting too much value on things that have low value is dangerous for your long term education because you are building bad habits that in later stages will have to be broken. Usually this stage is longer than stage 1-3 combined because you are constantly searching for new things to add into your current methods. In flip-flopping thoughts and methods you will actually add more confusion at the end of the day. At this point there is still nothing consistent with the way you look at the markets.

Stage #5

After being in stage #4 for an extended period of time (2-4 years) you might see someone predict the markets on a bigger level or you join a live webinar where you see something that opens your mind to something new. This is where someone predicts the market on a bigger scale than you have ever seen. Maybe it is a 10 point move or maybe a 40 point move over four days. You see the predication come true and the light goes off that inside of that move all the indicators you are using told you to do the opposite of the prediction meaning; you would have actually went against the prediction and lost money using the standard indicators.

Along the way maybe someone says something in a different way than you have ever heard before and you start to realize that what you are doing is not really trading but more gambling on what the market will do for the next 2 points.

You will see the value but you will not buy into the fact that anyone can actually predict the markets or have a true trading edge because of your personal journey up to this point. Maybe the guy that predicted the market was lucky. Since you have bought education and indicators in the past you are not about to join another group because it is a waste of money but you will continue to lose money trading. You will always think back to the time when you saw the prediction come true and even though you will not buy into it, it will still be in your mind especially when you have losing days.

In all the stages up to this point you are most likely trading counter trend and trying to pick tops and bottoms on a small time frame. These methods are the “easy” systems all over the internet.

The result:

You are starting to see how others trade and look at the markets and you are starting to realize that what you are doing is not trading, it is gambling. You have learned a lot in this stage but the methods you are learning are methods that should not be used and they will not be used in later stages of your trading journey you just don’t know that yet.

In all the stages up to this point you are trying to manipulate the markets for your own risk and emotions but you will learn that you must trade the market for what it is. You are just a participant in the markets not the creator of the markets and you cannot manipulate it for what you want. It is better to flow with the markets and not try to fight it or over think it.

Stage #6

At this point you know you need to get a true market education but you are not ready to commit to something because you might fail and it might feel better to stick with what you are currently doing even though you know it is not working. You are taking trading more seriously but you still do not know the questions to ask yourself and you still do not have a method which leads to low confidence.

This stage is actually a good stage because now you are searching for different things with your education. You have most likely unsubscribed from all the BS email lists and you are now starting to see that not every website that teaches the markets are the same. You also understand that trading is not gambling because you have been humbled a few times. While you still might think that trading is very hard you now see it is not impossible if you really take took it seriously and dedicated money and time to learn how the market really works.

At this point you are most likely looking at three – four different more complex methods. It is hard at this stage to make the right decision on which group to join because you are advancing to a higher level than before and you are not sure which style is right for you. This is normal and there is no right answer and this is why at this stage you will still have to go through a few courses before you know what fits your emotions the best. You will most likely go with the course that promises the most but you are a smarter trader at this point so you will not just jump in. It is best to take your time and see multiple examples in video and text so you know it is right for you.

Side note: if the method looks even 10% counter trend skip it. It is important at this stage to not fall back into the methods of stage 1-5. It is best to continue forward with more complex methods that trade with the trend. By default if you understand how to trade with the trend you will understand how to trade counter trend.

The result:

You are now on the right path but you are new to this level of thinking so you will not be a changed trader over night it still takes time. It is very important to not fall back into the hype of the markets at this stage and push forward and remove all the standard indicators off your charts and learn the patterns of the markets. This stage is going to be important on so many levels but the main thing to walk away with is that in this stage your job is to break the bad habits from stages 1-5 and stay focused to the new level you achieved.

If you can stay with it you will be on your way to being a trader. Not only a trader but a better trader than the person teaching the courses you have bought up to this point. The things you have learned in the first courses now seem crazy to you and that is because they are!

We will continue with stage 7-10 on the next post.

Happy Trading,

Trading Journey Part 1

Stage #1

This is the beginning stage where you might have been told that trading is easy and all you really need to know is prior highs and lows. You might start out with a small account after sim trading you soon realize that real money trading is completely different than sim trading because you actually have to acknowledge the loss.

The result:

Your emotions consume you and you close the account with a negative outcome. You acknowledge at this point that trading is not as easy as trading obvious highs and lows especially on a small time frame chart. What you thought was easy, turned out to be a different story and although you might have learned a few things you are still at the very start of your trading career if you continue forward.

Stage #2

Before you try to trade again you search for something to give you a trading edge but since you are still very new in the process you are searching for the wrong things. You might be searching for a magical indicator that will tell you when to buy and sell but you will most likely fall into the trap of someone hyping the markets because you are still new. It is easy for a newer trader to fall into the hype of someone selling the dream of trading and not the true education that is needed. You are still new so you are not ready to commit to buying something that seems expensive for your trading education.

It is not really your fault at this stage to fall for the hype because like I said you do not know the right questions to even ask yourself with your trading so some things will look to complex for this stage so you will most likely go for the easy looking methods.

Because of losing money is stage #1 you want a method that has very tight stops because you will most likely have a smaller account in stage #2 because you have already lost money. The methods that most people learn in stage #2 will not be something that you will use further along in your trading career but for stage #2 they will seem really good and advanced.

In having a small stop you are still in the gambling stage and having small stops means your profit rewards are also very small. Overall you will still have a very narrow view on the markets and you will still have very low confidence because the methods only work 20% of the time and that is if you take every trade but since you have already lost you are hesitant to take the trades so you will cherry pick the methods and ultimately revert back to stage #1 thinking.

The result:

You have learned more but you are still at the start of your career and you are learning more what does not work instead of learning what actually does work. Even though you are at stage #2 your mindset is still looking for something easy but you are starting to realize that there is more to trading that “easy scalping methods”. You might feel as though you wasted money on the system you bought but in reality it is not a waste because you learn quickly to not use those methods and in the long run that will actually save you money.

Stage #3

You start to feel like no one can make money in the markets and it is impossible and anyone that says they have a way to help you make money is lying. It is important to know that everyone’s trading journey is different and just because you do something does not mean that everyone has bought what you have bought and not everyone has the same mindset. While I agree there is a lot of BS out there with trading it is important to not lump everyone into the same category because in reality you are only doing yourself an injustice in thinking this way if you want to be a real trader.

With trading you are your own worst enemy and it is easy to join the negative thinking camp and throw a pity party but who does that really benefit? No one.

No one forces you to make the decisions you make or to even trade. Trading is like no other career in the fact you do not have employees to blame or push responsibilities onto others. To really understand the markets you must be honest with yourself and know that it takes time to really learn how to read the charts and understand you own emotions. Some people do not want to take the time to really learn and rather trade too soon and blame others but at the end of the day it only hurts you not anyone else.

The result:

No one can trade and everyone is a liar and since your trading journey has been what it has been everyone’s has been just like it. Maybe you go on some forums and join the negative thinking and you are in the “prove it” mindset.

It is important to know that everyone struggles with the markets when they are trying to find themselves and how they fit into the markets but we hope that you can get out of this stage and continue on with a positive mindset because if you stick with it you can benefit. Yes, maybe it will not be instant and maybe it will take hard work and more time than you want to put in but you can make it pass this stage.

Final Note for now:

All traders have to go through their own trading journey and learning how to trade is something unlike anything else you will do. The things you learn in these stages you will most likely never use in the later stages they are more to see if you can stay in the game long enough to get to the point to understand what you need to learn. Each stage is valuable in the process but it is you pushing forward to get to the next stage.

While it is easy to fall for the hype of the markets the hype will not make you money. With anything in life it is the education that builds the knowledge but if you are not at a stage to accept the education it will not be of value. Like anything in life if you do not want to learn how to do something why bother trying to learn it? You cannot trade half-ass in hopes to hit it big on luck. While luck might help you on a few trades you cannot build the confidence needed with luck.

Before you can learn the answers to your questions you need to know the right questions. To know the right questions you have to go through the stages like anything in life.

We will continue this in a later post.

Video Update



Dec 1st, 2010

This is a follow up video from the last video posted on this blog.

The ES and NQ still have a few more resistances levels to get through before the TF can hit our 750.00 target. The targets from the last video are from the 60 minute chart so it can take days if not weeks for the pattern to complete. In getting the bigger targets we know which direction has the highest odds intra day so we do not try to pick a top too soon or trade counter trend.

Patterns are the only predictive tool in the markets in our opinion. It is not only knowing one or two patterns it is knowing how the smaller patterns react inside the bigger pattern. This is what we focus on in our course every day.

Do not let a small time frame sucker you in to thinking the trend is changing. Small time frames are too small to turn the bigger time frames. It is always best to trade the pattern direction until it is really broken.

Happy Trading,

*95% of traders are trading with a narrow view on the markets and do not see the bigger move that is about to happen**

If you first learn what not to do in the markets it will be much easier for to learn what to do with your trading. It is true that most people say “if I only would have done the opposite I would have made money”. So instead of continually repeating the negative behavior it is best to acknowledge it and change must happen, and take the steps to better you as a trader. Maybe it is time to start looking at the markets in a different way?

We do not show you how to make money using standard indicators that everyone is using. We will leave that up to the main stream companies that are only interested in up-selling you on the next “have to have” trading approach. Main stream does not work with trading but so many traders fall into the trap of thinking the bigger the company is the more value they have. In reality it is the more underground companies that really understand how and why the markets move like they do have the hidden value that most never find.

eMiniSchool is not a indicator store that promises instant profits, we all know that indicators are only part of the equation and for you to truly gain your trading edge you need education, but not just any education, you need proven advanced education to be better then the next trader. Either you are taking money for someone or they are taking it from you! Which side do you want to be on?

eMiniSchool does not sell indicators, but as part of our course we give you our proprietary indicators as the tools you will apply to the education you will learn. Our indicators are specific for what we do and for that reason we do not sell them separately.

We trade patterns first and the indicators are specifically designed to confirm the patterns we trade to give you your trading edge that few have. The bars will go green for a long trade in the buy zone and red to go short in the sell zone. The blue tells us when that specific leg of the move is over and the yellow alerts us to when a big move is going to happen within the pattern.

Stay on the right side of the pattern and start trading with the trend with our multiple time frame trading approach. Learn how to see the bigger moves and understand where and when to enter your trades for the best risk-reward the market has to offer.

Not only will you learn where and when to enter the trades you will also learn how to get your profit targets before you enter the trade. This is truly a dynamic way of trading that is crucial for your long term trading success. It is time to get your emotions out of your trading and stick to the rules that are proven.

Maybe it is time to stop searching for a system with a 5 tick stop and start learning how to see 20 point moves before they happen!

Stop gambling and start trading for real profits in a way that you can repeat over and over again!

Ask yourself if you were going to make a system what would you want it to include?

  1. To know the direction of the market visually green and red
  2. To know when to enter into the trade in the trend direction with a visual color change
  3. To know where to enter in the pattern for the highest odds
  4. Know how to manage the trade once you are filled
  5. For the bars to stay green or red for added confidence to hold the trade
  6. To know when a big move is starting in the pattern
  7. To know when the direction is most likely ending
  8. To know what not to do instantly by just looking at the chart

Basically it comes down to knowing the direction and knowing when and where to enter the trader. Once in the trade understand how to manage that trade with confidence. Also knowing when a big move is starting but also ending so you do not enter late in the move.

Numbers for tomorrow




Nov 22, 2010

We went up to the 724.00 level and we have contracted and we have upper targets at the 730.0 to the 737.0 and then if we break the last high we are looking for a push to the 750.0 level.

As long as the ES stays above the 1183.00 low the ES should see the 1213 level.

Going into the holiday weekend we might not have the volume but the pattern is still bullish at this point.

I labeled the charts so you can see what we called out today.

What people said who joined the free room today"

"Thanks Sean for taking the time out of your day to give us the chance to see the charts live. I will tell you that what you did today was something I have never seen. You stayed calm and called out resistance and the aggressive short on the NQ and even though I am not a member I made over 8 points on the NQ. It was scary how you put the lower level on the NQ in real time when it was at 2142 and it went down to the 2126.00. I am a believer..."

"Wish you did this everyday.."

" You kept on the right side of the market in both the move up and down today. Great job".

Did you see the pattern?


Nov 12th , 2010

In our nightly videos the last few days we have been pointing out to our members the pattern on the 60 minute charts had odds of coming down and today the NQ went only 2 points lower than our target level. Is this important? Well, the target was from when the NQ's were at 2175.50 and it was a 54 point drop to the target. Not only did we have the target we also had blue bars on the 10 minute chart to confirm the level.

Are you a bull or a bear? Does one or two days change your outlook?

When the market is in a uptrend we know that there will be pullbacks along the way. Knowing that is one thing but understanding how to trade it in a way that is repeatable is a different story. We do not let one or two days change our outlook unless the move does damage to the pattern. It is best to actually buy in the pullbacks and then sell when we make a new high at the targets. Have you ever heard the saying "buy low and sell high". It is a obvious thing to say but more importantly it is you knowing how to actually do it.

Do you go into the day without a outlook on what you think might happen and why? We are not asking if you have a gut feeling , everyone has those. What we are saying is do you know where we are at in the pattern and what time frame is in play and what to look for to see if the pattern is broken?

Are you trading obvious highs and lows? Just think, everyone can see those levels so do you think they are that important? Actually the more obvious levels are the most risky. Trading is not as easy as pulling up your chart and buying the last high or shorting the last low, do you agree? It is you understanding the odds of what is actually going on and having two outlooks and as the bars print you gain odds on which one is going to play out.

What our members are saying:

"I have been working hard and since the last email I sent to you I had a revaluation with the wave pattern and I have been understanding it in much more depth. I have been focusing on the NQ (but watching the other markets as you suggested) as I feel more comfortable trading it. I have had success everyday with your setups and if I have not it has only been because I have tried something else. I went live a few day's ago, and because of a few trades on the RUSS I went down 110 dollars but yesterday I traded the NQ and made 15.5 point. I have enclosed a chart. (you went over it in detail that evening in the nightly video which was nice) The first trade closed out at BV I took this trade off a major support/C level on the 60min chart and wait for the 10 min to go green. The next 2 trades went well".

" Thanks for taking the time the last two days on the IM. I have never seen someone break down the market the way you do and it has helped me to confirm what I was already thinking. Your outlook, levels and direction for the next day is spot on and over 90% correct. The videos are something that every trader should watch every night. I still cant figure out how fast you are on the IM watching all three markets in real time."

To get a copy of the last two days worth of instant messenger alerts email us and we will send you a copy. They are time stamped so you can go back on your charts and see how we read the markets.

Market Condition Lesson

Nov 6th, 2010

We had a email asking how we use the targets we come up with based on the patterns. There are multiple things that can happen off of a target but one of the most important is that the condition of the market will most likely change.

There are two market conditions. The first is an expansion and the second is when the market is in a contraction. How can knowing the condition ahead of time help you? Multiple ways but the main is so you trade the correct condition meaning; if the market is in a contraction you should not be thinking you will hit a home run type trade on the 3 minute chart. The odds are too high that the market will stay in the contracting condition and it is best to only scalp it for 1-2 points per trade.

How does this help? If you are entering the trade thinking it is going to go up 5-6 points and it only goes u 2 points most likely you will wait for it to come back against you 1 point before you exit and if you take 5 trades you are giving up 5 points of profit because you are trading the wrong condition.

On the other side if the market is expanding and you are taking only 2 points of profit then you are leaving big profits on the table and most likely you will exit and then re-enter again at the top of the wave and the result of this is you give back the profits you just made. There are many more things in regards to market condition we cover in our course.

Looking at the NQ chart we had the 2191.50 as a important upper target and see how once that target was hit the market contracted. This is important to understand before it happens so you can actually trade with the market condition not against it..

NQ + CME +27.00


Nov 4th , 2010

In our members video last night we had a high target on the NQ at 2191.50 and the high was 2191.00 or 2 ticks off. This is why we use the NQ, ES and TF all for targets because one will complete before the other two. Our upper targets are not short entries but we look for either a correction or a contraction off these targets. Today was a good example of a contraction off our targets. The targets are important on multiple levels but with today having the target can tell you that the up move will most likely not continue right after it is hit and that way you are not trying to enter long multiple times.

With the market it is not only knowing the direction but taking it one step further and understanding where that direction might end or at minimum stall out and take a break (go sideways).

You can be right on the direction and still lose money day trading and this is why it is important to get the education to understand how to get odds and how to get the market condition before the condition is in play.

For those of you that went long CME we are moving our stop to $293.50 and if we are stopped we will exit the trade with +$23.50. At the close of today we are up $27.00 points on this trade!!

NinjaTrader 7 now available!!



***eMiniSchool NinjaTrader indicators are available for NT7!***

Nov 3rd, 2010

The market has been in a contraction since 10/13 / 2010. We have been saying that the trend is still up even though the market was going sideways. Some traders might think that sideways is bearish because we are not going up but it is important to stick to the direction of the last move until that direction is actually broken. This will take away the gut feeling type traders that for the most part are losers.

We had a 730 upper target and we wanted to issue our new upper targets which are 722.00 and 740.00. Our first target of 730 is right in the middle of the new targets and that is perfectly fine because upper targets are levels to look for something to potentially happen they are not short entries.

We have specific patterns we look for after a high is completed to see if off that high we could reverse but in no way do we just blindly short a upper target.

CME Move Stop and lock in +13.00 points

Nov 2nd , 2010

With this week having a lot of news coming out the safest thing to do with our CME is to move the stop up to the $284.00 level. If taken out this trade will still have +13.00 points of profit. If CME takes out the $291.00 high CME should see the $303.00 area quickly.

Bigger Outlook Plus Todays Charts

Tomorrows Outlook

Oct 31st, 2010

Going into tomorrow our outlook is that if the TF breaks the 710.00 high then we should see the 730's pretty quick. Of course there are always two things that could happen and if we go down the target is 683.00. It is knowing the two outlooks and then gaining odds on which one should play out and since the market is still in a up trend the odds favor 730 before 683. We will not know until the market opens.

Even though most traders have been trying to pick the top of this wave since the 8/24 low we have been long and each night we do a video to break down the wave into smaller waves so we can get levels for day trading.

It is important to stick with the pattern until the pattern is broken no matter how strongly you might feel we are nearing a top. Nothing is worse that picking the top to soon. Not only will you lose on the shorts because you are too early but it will be hard for you to get back in long so you push yourself into a corner and most of the time it is a negative outcome.

Watch these levels for tomorrow going into Tuesday!

CME +18.00

Oct 28th, 2010

From the entry on CME on 10/28 at $271.00 we are up +18.00 points at the close of today. We are moving our stop to $277.50 to lock in +7.50. This is the stop for swing traders if you are more active you could always sell some and hold the rest for the $300.00 target.

Blue bar high and low


Oct 28th , 2010

Just a quick update with the chart from today. When the market gapped up we had blue bars to us to not go long and that was the high of the day. Then once the market fell the blue bars came in again at the low. The market did go lower but we are not interested in that low as a short. Notice how it broke lower then it reversed up hard to make the low of the day on the break down.

The blue bars give us areas with odds in real time. There was a long signal that had profit opportunity but the market was very choppy after the long signal.

Going into tomorrow we are still in the bigger contraction so that is a low odds area plus it is going to be Friday which is a low odds trading day. We would scalp a few points and be done for the day.

Very nice long signal



Oct 27th, 2010

There was a very nice long signal today off the bigger support low. This is why it is so important to understand how to get the bigger levels. All the small time frames are trading inside the bigger time frame so if you are only using a 5 minute for your bigger direction chart it time to learn how to go bigger with your charts even if you are only scalping.

The pattern gives us where to enter the trade and the color change of our indicators give us the when. Without knowing both your odds are very low to consistently not only make money but understand the true direction.

The pattern is what develops the trend and if you wait to long as a day trader for the trend to be confirmed you are most likely too late. Step back and look at the bigger, medium and short term patterns for best results that you can repeat.

NQ&TF Blue Bar Lows


Oct 26th 2010

From our member video last night we had TF support at 698.80. I know saying this after the move is over may not be good enough but any who joins can go back and look at all the videos. Nothing is hidden with what we do. We give specific levels for the next day and our weekly outlook and we follow it every day to go with the pattern and learn how to stay with the pattern and why.

All three markets today had blue bars right at the lows and our lower target from last night, what does that mean? That means that not only do we have the targets we have the tools to confirm those levels.

NQ and TF


Oct 25th , 2010

Today the TF went up and hit the first target we had from our last video to our members. Notice how the NQ had blue bars at the high when the TF did not. The ES actually had blue bars as well but the point is that we use the NQ, ES and TF to watch for targets to be hit or blue bars to tell us the move has high odds of being over.

We get targets based on the pattern then we break it down to use the indicators. This is a different approach than most that are solely relying on indicators. Learning the patterns take time but if you are going to risk your money trading you need higher odds than just looking at a indicator at obvious support and resistance levels.

We will do a live show tomorrow starting at 11:15 am EST time. If you want to join us all you have to do is click the Live Radio Show link at the top of this page.

Do Fibs Work?

Oct 24th, 2010

In our opinion if you are trading without understanding how to apply fibs you are at very low odds of making money consistently. It is not only using them it is how you use them. In our 15 years of trading we have developed a way to use the fibs with less confusion. Also in our 15 years we have seen that most people apply the fibs wrong to their charts. Even the most well known traders use them wrong. So if you were taught the wrong way to use the Fibs you will give you a false result and you will not be able to build confidence.

We all know that the markets do not go straight up or down so it is understanding that depending on what the pullback looks like determines if the trend will continue or not. All the pullbacks develop the trend but if you wait to long to get into the trend you will be wrong as well. This is what is frustrating about trading you can be right on the direction and still lose money if you are too late entering the trade.

Look at any chart and you will see waves up and down, it is normal and using the Fibs can tell you if the last move was true or false. If the wave is true it will resume and if it is false then the last low will be taken out (this is a long example).

It is important to use fibs on multiple charts so you can see the bigger pattern as well as the smaller pattern. If you ignore even one of the time frames we use then your odds are cut in half instantly because you will not see the full story behind what is happening.

It takes time to learn how to properly use Fibs both on the retrace and extension side of the equation but it is how the market naturally flows and if you are not using them you are most likely trying to trade against the true condition of the market making it much harder on yourself.

On a side note in our 15 years of trading we have never found a auto-fib-tool that comes close to drawing the fibs in yourself meaning; don’t try to skip the education and think you can just purchase a auto fib tool that will tell you what to do. Save the money and learn how to use them yourself manually because the outcome will be much better and you will understand why you are suing them not just waiting for something automatically to happen on your charts.

To learn how to use Fibs the correct way and to understand how to use them on multiple time frames to gain the highest odds join our group today and get the core videos plus our day by day video that follows every move in real time.

Market Still in UpTrend

Oct 21st, 2010

Even though the market had a move down today the market is still in a uptrend and this move down was calculated and it is normal market conditions. This is where we do not let one day change our outlook unless we break the pattern and today we did not break any bullish patterns we actually just completed one.

This is a chart for the NQ today. We had blue bars at the low of the day right at the bigger 3 day pattern. The TF made a double bottom when the ES and NQ held the support target. This is why we always use all three markets to confirm each other.

To continue with the NQ chart from yesterday here is the NQ 3 minute chart from today. Blue bars right at the high then we went into a contraction. We caught the contraction on the live broadcast. This is where knowing how to determine the condition of the market beforehand is very valuable.
