I get asked a lot of questions about how I trade e-minis and how I can catch every pop and drop, when to go long or short, etc..
There are things I look at, but most important is Technical Analysis. Think of “Technical Analysis” as a toolbox. Inside this toolbox there are many tools at your disposal. One of the most important tools (In my opinion) are Chart Patterns.
Here is my 5 min chart of the E-Mini S&P futures that I was trading. Only thing I added to it were captions of the setups I traded.

Everything played out the way it was supposed to. The market moves in a progression of chart patterns, one after another.
One important thing is to do your analysis in multiple timeframes so you do not loose sight of the bigger picture. Take a look at the 15 min chart. This time intra-day only.

What’s that look like to you ?? Chart patterns aren’t 100% but odds are pretty good that they play out. Until next time.
Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.

Trading ES Futures, short 200 contracts at the top, trading it the way down. This is a pretty lengthy video so I added in the S&P Futures pit squawk from Traders Audio. Most of the action starts from 19:00

Trading ES Futures. Fading 1080’s hard, while everyone was waiting for bernanke to say whatever.
This is the pre-quel to “Posers, Gurus, Bullshit wannabes”. Probably about half an hour before having to destroy the magician. Did nothing but sell sell sell, cover some to sell more all day.
