Knowing when to enter and exit, where to put your stops and where to expect price to be headed are hugely important when day trading. This is where the Atlas Line dominates over other day trading software and methods, providing a clear cut way to trade price action.
In this video, John Paul from DayTradeToWin.com enters a long trade using the Atlas Line and NinjaTrader. Before the long order, the Atlas Line produced a bunch of short order signals because price was below the Atlas Line. According to the ATR, John goes for a little less than two points to make sure he’s not over extending his account according to the current market conditions. Always trade according to what the ATR indicates (as taught in the Atlas Line webinar).
Why did John Paul take a long trade on the E-Mini S&P?
- Price is trading above the Atlas Line
- Signals for going long appear on the chart
- The trade is being mapped out
- Profit and stops are known due in part to the ATR
