E-Mini S&P Day Trading Videos – Learn to Trade

Going a step beyond most day trading educators, John Paul from Day Trade to Win often trades live in his videos. Above is no exception, although even more unique because the trade was taken while training a student. For those unfamiliar with what is being shown, John is using NinjaTrader and trading the E-Mini (ES) with a 5-Minute time frame. His commercially available Atlas Line software provides a direction of whether you should long or short (buy or sell) the market. The Atlas Line is recognizable by its dashed line and brightly colored entry signals. There is more to the method than simply entries. John teaches stops and profit targets along with other unique entries exclusive to the software. Yes, the Atlas Line is a complete system of trading – ideal as a standalone method or to be coupled with another system for confirmation. The software is available for TradeStation and eSignal as well. John will teaches everything you need to know during the included live training session.

If you’re interested in the eight week Mentorship Program, the Atlas Line is included along with 10 other unique strategies to trade price. The goal of this comprehensive course is to take advantage of every high-probability trade setup while keeping an eye on risk. Becoming a professional day trader involves a great deal of experience and self-control. Get a head start on becoming a professional day trader.

This video shows a trader named Tony who switched from tape reading and technical analysis to trading based on price. He cites credit to his success so far (albeit in simulation mode) to Day Trade to Win’s eight week coaching program, Private Mentorship. As a student, Tony learned more than eight ways to trade price action. He prefers using a five-minute chart (also preferred by Tony’s teacher, John Paul) over the scalping methods. So far, Tony’s results have been very positive and plans to start trading live tomorrow. He says he has every indication that his success will continue with a live account. As we’ve noticed, NinjaTrader’s simulation mode usually accounts for the “feel” of triggering fills last, when in fact during live trading, fill rates seem to improve. When an experienced trader who has seen and tried it all finally finds something that works, it speaks volumes. To get the same education as Tony, you can become a Private Mentorship student for eight weeks or attend a webinar (usually conducted by Day Trade to Win on Thursday mornings). Changing your trading account / life around is likely a priority for the new year. As Tony has indicated, this live coaching program is a promising step in that direction.

The last few days on the E-Mini have been difficult for traders. Choppy price action and the last FOMC meeting of the year are to blame. However, Day Trade to Win’s Private Mentorship Program plowed right through the unpredictability by using many methods of engagement. As seen in the video, John Paul shows how the Atlas Line, Blueprint Trade, Roadmap Trade, X-5 and others produced consistent profit over the course of several days. Traders are taught these exact methods of trading during the eight weeks of live training with John Paul. The next group session begins January 5, 2012. Early registration is open and encouraged through a reduced 2011 price. In addition to live training, students are provided with all software and written, digital courses. Each training session is recorded for future playback; thereby enforcing an understanding of the material.

Yesterday, the E-Mini unexpectedly fell quite a few points. In the video below, you can see the huge move down as indicated by the large red candle. With two consecutive closing bars below the Atlas Line, the Atlas Line generated a Dbl Bar Short signal at 1151.75. If you were using the Atlas Line and took this trade, it would have worked in your favor all day (with the exception of price starting to intersect the Atlas Line near market close). With price well below the Atlas Line, we know to stick with Short trades. There are a few trade types that can be used based on the Atlas Line: the Pullback Trade and the Strength Trade. These help in recognizing profit opportunities as the market flexes back and forth under a general trend. John Paul, day trading coach from Day Trade to Win can easily point out three pullback trades. Recognition of these setups is taught in the live training that’s included with purchase of the Atlas Line.

Using the Atlas Line software from Day Trade to Win, John Paul trade with a ive account and goes for 6.25 points on the E-Mini. Trading five contracts (order quantity in Ninjatrader) for 6.25 points is equivalent to $1562.50, providing the trade works out in his favor. Using the ATR, he notices that the target may be a bit extreme so he reduces it to 4.25 (a safer target based on what the ATR can allow). In case you’re not familiar with NinjaTrader, the green line indicates the profit target. The orange line indicates what the current profit would be (current price position). After the successful 4.25 points, he realizes that the original setting of 6.25 would have worked in his favor. Remember, Day Trade to Win focuses on price action and limits the risk of trades through strategic stop and profit placement. 4.25 points is still more than most traders can hope for on days with such volatility.

If you were trading the Emini today, hopefully you got in for the long haul or used a strategy that could deal with the chaotic movement. Those of you using NinjaTrader’s DOM could see how rapidly price was dropped. At times, price fluctuated four points in less than a second. In recent months, it was taking over an hour for price to climb or fall four points. The SP credit rating has truly affected how traders are perceiving the economy.

Here’s an example of how the Atlas Line from Day Trade to Win handles volatile days. John Paul, day trading coach, acknowledges that some days are just not meant for trading. He explains how the ATR can be used to determine the best time for trading and how it can be used in combination with the price action trading tool, the Atlas Line.

The Atlas Line provides traders with long and short order signals, determines the expected direction of price with a plotted angled line, and has a few custom trade setups that compliment the tool. John Paul, founder of Day Trade to Win and creator of the Atlas Line, coaches traders on how to use the trading tool free with purchase in the form of a webinar. He also conducts presentations whereby traders can request the Atlas Line to be display on markets of their choosing. John Paul’s favorite markets to trade with the Atlas Line are the Emini, Euro, CAD, Russell, AUD and other currencies and futures.

The video above showcases trades taken August 1 and August 2 (last two days) in which the Atlas Line successfully called out multiple short trades that were worth quite a bit of money with price tanking. The Atlas Line caught the initial short moves which appeared shortly after market open, but the “indicator” didn’t stop there. Multiple pullback trades occurred, which further confirmed profitable short trades. Did you know which side of the market to be on? Did the markets make or break your account the last few days?

Almost as watching magic in front of your eyes, amaze yourelf by watching the following video of John Paul demonstrating the Atlas Line software perform in two unbelievable trades.

Atlas Line indicates to go short right after three consecutive large green candles and John Paul does so with little hesitation. Why? Becayse the Atlas Line is constantly effective in making the decisions for us. Price was headed toward the Atlas Line, indicating an Atlas Line pull back trade (at least two bars pulling back followed by one candle closing in the red). ORDER FILLED. Using only price action and the Atlas Line,this resulted in a nice 1 point winner.

Plenty of opportunities for profit today with the Atlas Line:

Trade 1 – Short – win for 5-6 ticks
Trade 2 – Short – win for 6-7 ticks
Trade 3 – Long – loss for 6-7 ticks
Trade 4 – Short – win for 6-7 ticks
Trade 5 – Long – win for 6-7 ticks
Trade 6 – Long – win for 4-5 ticks

This gives us a daily potential of 32 ticks if you traded using the Atlas Line.

The difference in doing well or not in day trading is usually a result of lack of experience, knowledge or effective tools.

The ATR gives us a clear volatility indication for us to know when to get out. All in all, the combination of the Atlas Line and ATR leave little doubt for a day trader, allowing him to get in and out with profits and ease. Is your trading strategy simple or are you fighting just to keep consistent?

Winning two to four points every day on the e-mini is not possible 100% of the time. Some days, market volatility is nonexistent with no driving force behind price. However, days with decent volatility allow traders to capitalize on the market despite the direction of price (dropping or rising). On such days, it’s possible to get in and out of the market quickly (for lower risk) and take home a reasonable profit.

This video shows DayTradeToWin price action trading methods used by trader John Paul:

Since the market was rather volatile on the day traded in the video, you can see how he extended his range to allow for four points of profit.
