How slow is too slow when trading? We’ve all been there – price opens and makes significant strides as a trend or chop, followed by a period of short candles, dojis and gaps. Is there any way we test the strength of the market? Yes, by using the ATR (Average True Range). As demonstrated by John Paul of Day Trade to Win in the video above, he uses NinjaTrader’s ATR with custom parameters to test the viability of entries at any given time. The ATR tool can be found in other platforms such as eSignal and TradeStation. In short, John says that if the ATR value in the E-Mini S&P is below 1, it’s not worth trading. Likewise, if the ATR is above 5, the E-Mini is too volatile to trade. Since the 6E (Euro Futures) market uses a different contract value base, John shows how to gauge its tradability as well. Day Trade to Win sets itself apart from other day trading educators by teaching students how to trade based on what the market can produce. This means the ATR and other real-time price factors are used in every strategy, for stops, targets and entries. Taking risk assessment and trade management into account is essential. Day Trade to Win does it the best.
