If you have 60 to 90 minutes a day, a computer, risk capital, the Internet, mental discipline and “Sniper Day Trading”, I believe you may have what it takes to attain financial and time freedom by Day Trading the E-Mini Futures.

Emini Course and Mentoring Program

In my Emini Trading Course, I show you how to utilize a “Sniper Trading” type approach using my tested method to earn at least 2 points per day from the markets. You could learn how to make consistent profits in good or bad markets. Our method focuses on high probability trading, delivering you your points for the day. Day trading for a living does not have to be hard, if you have the right method, plan, course of action and someone to explain it to you in a live market trading environment.

Price action, is driven by emotional buying and selling decisions for a variety of reasons, all of which are present in the current price at any given moment. Our job, is to find the turning points that exist in each session through precision market timing. These turning points are present every day the markets are open. Sniper Day trading will teach you to clearly spot where these turning points are, using a trading mastery type approach. These points show up like consistent “Sniper” shots on your trading screen and are clearly defined by using the custom tools I have created.

We strive to teach our students to learn price action apart from indicators or tools, but they are helpful to point out what may not be seen in the beginning. I am sure what I have in full is not being taught by anyone and is unique to me and the many years I have spent developing and now clearly defining the “Sniper Day Trading Method”. The signals generated by my method will produce the same signals to anyone who is following it, there is really no gray area, only which trades you decide to take and which you let go by.

Sniper Day Trading Method

We trade with tick data and use multiple time frames in timing our trade entries. I have three different styles I trade and bring them up as the price action dictates. One is a “Scalp Trading Method”, (T-1 Trade) that is very accurate in picking up 2,3 or 4 ticks on the S&P. My stops are such, that this approach averages a one to one risk/reward ratio, but enjoys a very high percentage “Win/Loss” ratio. This is bread and butter for me.
The second style enjoys the benefit of my “Precision Turning Points” model, (T-2 Trade) and is usually traded with multiple contracts. The first part is scaled out around 1 point, which quickly brings me to a no loose position and the second half is usually allowed to run. I have four incredible ways to get out, all of which act independently of each other, but are uncannily similar in their results.

The last, is a “Pyramid Trading Method”, that when conditions are right, you are able to keep your first risk small but scale into the trade, adding positions in the direction of the trend, but only at very low risk entry points, keeping your stops down to 1 S&P point. Each one of these methods are very clearly explained in my 80 page trading manual and followed up in the DVD training part of my course. They will also be gone over in our live trading sessions.

While only needing to pull 2 points after commission per day out of the market, (8 ticks) catching a few scalp trades or a T-2 trade, is really all you need to hit your daily goal. I believe in setting realistic goals, which increase your chances to meet them. By having a clear mind, a solid trading plan, with position sizing risk limits and rock solid money management, you come that much closer to trade your way to financial and time freedom.
Examples of two typical trading days back to back, applying the Sniper Day Trading Method. It only took about 20 minutes to get my daily goal plus on both of these days.

Mental Discipline and Trading Psychology. I have told you what I can offer to you, but this is not all you will need for success. I am convinced that my method, custom indicators and complete approach could make the aspiring trader profitable on a regular basis, but do you have what it takes? Trading psychology plays a huge roll in all traders, whether they know it or not. You have forces constantly working against you. Success is only going to become a reality to you, if you have the qualities needed to pull this off. What you are going to need is * Discipline * Patience * Ability to follow rules * Control your fears * Get a grip on personal greed. Frequently, I talk about this in my daily blog, because they are too often why traders fail to reach their goals.
I offer a lot of support in this area as well, if you are a struggling trader and want to change, I have the tools, method and know how to likely turn you around, so that you can create the consistent income, free up your time and fulfill your dreams in becoming a successful day trader.

Mental Exercises

In my program I address some of these issues in a series of “Mental Training Exercises” that I have put together. They are designed to get your mind thinking and believing that trading for a living and meeting your daily trading goal is normal, natural and the only outcome you will accept. The titles in the first series are; * Financial Freedom * Positive Risk Taking * Holding your concentration while trading * Achieving your Trading Goals. The titles in the second series are; * Overcoming Trading Obstacles * Controlling Emotions while Trading * Overcoming the Fear of Failure * Creating Hope & Success.

These I believe are very powerful and are in, “the first person” and will become personal to you. They are a form of Neuro-Linguistic programming that can take you farther and bring you closer to meeting your trading goals. They are, in written form and in audio CD and created by me. My plans are to continue to expand these in the future and make any new additions available to students who come on board, all at no extra charge. These training series are specific to traders and cover issues they face.

Solutions for traders, Sniper Day Trading

I realize that not everyone is born with all the qualities a successful trader will need, but I feel it can be learned if you want it bad enough. Ask yourself, how much do you want to become a consistent successful trader ? The answer to that is going to make all the difference in the world.

I know personally the things that hold traders back from bringing it all together and I know exactly what to do to help them change. I believe I can help the struggling trader as well as the trader who has never done this before.
I can set you on a course that is tailored to your experience level and walk you through everything needed and expected. The good part is, you won’t have to go it along. If you have any question, I can not only answer it, but help you apply it, to get the results you will need. Our daily goal is not to hard to hit, 2 points + per day. We can take a conservative approach to help you get that goal regularly.

If you are honest and know you need help and are willing to work hard and change what ever you have to, then I am sure I can help. Trading for a living is possible, but you need to do different, be different and think different from the majority of other traders. If you first commit to yourself these things, then I will commit to you, which will bring you one step closer to the success that we all strive for. Lastly, I want to assure anyone with doubts, my method, straight up works. The only question that remains is, will you move forward and decide to make it work for “YOU”.

Price Action Day Trading

“Price Action Day Trading”, is the key to your long term success. The markets do something everyday that is consistent since they began trading, over one hundred years ago. It exists in all time frames and gets played out on trading screens across the globe each day. It is important to understand and learn, “good price structure” and how it is built. That is what I teach and that is what students get when they partner with me at Sniper Day Trading. The key is learning what to do and when to do it and why. If you don’t know the answers to those questions you will eventually fall short. Many traders use indicators to help them and that is OK. I have them and use them also, but I do not base my trading decisions on the indicators. I base it on good price structure and trade setups that happen over and over, day after day. Traders and investors are very predictable, they base many of there trading decisions on emotion. Knowing slightly ahead, how they will react when certain prices are reached and breached, give us the trading edge we look for. With that said, the indicators magically line up with our trading decisions which can give us the added confidence to put our money on the line.

Below is a typical trading day where you will see the trading, “Turning Point”. I have stripped away everything from the screen except two things. There is much more, but I just want to show you that the indicators line up with our turning points. Which came first the chicken or the egg. The chicken and that is price. Price is always first and the indicators are second. That being said, the indicators can help traders see what is already on the trading screen. I hope this explanation helps clarify in the minds of seeking traders that what we have and do is real and works.

What You Get With Sniper Day Trading

I can uncover the problems here, find the solutions and set you on your new course.

My goal is to get each trader that joins with Sniper Day Trading to book at least 2 points per day and gradually increasing contract size to a desired income goal. I will do my part as stated above, will you do yours?

Important Notice – Risk Disclaimer:

Futures Options trading has large potential rewards, but also large potential risk. You must be aware of the risks and be willing to accept them in order to invest in the futures and options markets. Don’t trade with money you can’t afford to lose. This is neither a solicitation nor an offer to Buy/Sell futures or options. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those discussed on this web site. The past performance of any e mini trading system or methodology is not necessarily indicative of future results.

Daytrading Involves High Risks and You Can Lose A Lot of Money.

Hypothetical or simulated performance results have certain inherent limitations. Unlike an actual performance record, simulated results do not represent actual trading. Also, since the trades have not actually been executed, the results may have under or over-compensated for the impact, if any, certain market factors, such as lack of liquidity. Simulated e mini trading programs in general are also subject to the fact that they are designed with the benefit of hindsight. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those shown.

Additional Cautions

There are no guarantees or certainties in trading. Reliability of trading signals for mechanical systems are in probabilities only. Trading involves hard work, risk, discipline and the ability to follow rules and trade through any tough periods during the methods off times (and all methods or systems have off times) – If you are looking for guarantees, trading is not for you. Most people lose trading. One of the reasons is that they are not consistent and lack discipline. A method of system can help you become consistent, BUT you have to stick to the method like a formula. The ability to be disciplined and control your emotions is even more important than any technical indicators a trader may use. Worrying about the money aspect of trades (which is an emotion) can contribute to and cause a trader to make errors. It is important to trade only with true risk capital.

Scalp Trading techniques

Sunday, January 3rd, 2010

Yesterdays post brought up some of the benefits of Scalp Trading, but today we will focus on techniques.

There are many ways to day trade, that is for sure and Scalp Trading, I feel ranks pretty high. This has been said to be one of the more difficult methods to master, but the rewards are great. Those who can excel in this type of trading can virtually write their own ticket.

Scalp Trading, will force you to learn so much more, so much faster than other forms of trading.  ”Price Action” is so much faster because of the smaller time charts that are often used. You will see pattern setups that are very difficult to see on minute charts.

When placing your orders to go long or short, you can not afford to have large draw downs. In fact, just a few ticks against you should be your maximum. But how do you do that? Well, there are tools you can use to help you see what is present in the “Price Action“, but it should be price that ultimately determines your entries. The tools can help, depending what you use and how consistent it is. Most tools for this kind of trading are not very good for most people, because they don’t know how to use them and don’t filter out the false signals that invariably turn up with generic indicators.

One of the key things to try to get a handle on is, why prices move in the first place? I believe I touched on this in an earlier post some time ago, but that is the question? The market has a “Natural Trading Rhythm” to it and we need to not only see it, but feel it. Getting in tune with this trading rhythm or trading vibration is key.

Scalp Trading can mean different things for different people and there are ways to minimize your risk and still maximizing returns. One such way is to scale out of the trade on certain setups. Every trade setup is slightly different and some produce bigger returns then others. Over time you will come to learn which one’s are better and on those trades, you can leave a portion of your trade open.

Taking half of your trade off, when you get to a break even situation is a great way to minimize your risks and still capture higher point returns on those special setups.

For me, I often take half of my trade off at 3 or 4 ticks and leave the other half run, when it is appropriate to do so. With this type of trading, I feel you have to trade with the momentum only. You can whether small pull backs of a few ticks once you have the room to do so, but you should not lose the over-all momentum of the move.

Placing the order where you are going to get a sudden burst of movement is all about understanding price action. A trader places his order to go long, at that point his stop is set under his entry somewhere. Other traders are going to place there stop order in the exact same place and so. You want to try to find out why and where those spots are. If you do, then you will be able to take advantage of that burst of energy that has built up and which give you the power behind the move, but, all to your benefit.

A lot of traders know where these spots are but are not conscious of it. Ask yourself, if I was in this trade here, where would I place my stop-loss order, long or short.? When you come up with the answer to that, often times that is where you will want to take the opposite side of the trade. It is a little strange to think that way, but that is exactly how you need to think in order to start understanding daily price action.

That is why I have come up with my website name. Trading like a “Sniper” is what it is all about. You can not afford to miss the mark and have a wide range for error. “Sniper Trading”, zooms into that small window, whether I am using my “Scalp Trading” screen or my “T-2″ setup screen. Both models narrow the entry down to that small window where the energy is built up, ready to explode.

Trading with this kind of focus can protect your trading capital by only allowing yourself to take small losses. Others may be taking 2-4 point stops on there trades, when trading the S&P 500 futures, but I think that is way to much. It is very hard to come back inside the session to recover losses like that, especially if the “Daily Price Range”, is narrow.

Setups like these also take a long time, where to often you run out of time in the trading session to ever recover.

To Recap:  Look at tick data, not minutes, look to place orders where other traders are placing their stops and consider splitting up your exits to reduce risk.

All of the above information is broken down and explained in my “Emini Trading Course“. If you have questions, I will be happy to answer them for you. Even if you just need some information about trading more profitably with your current approach. I am willing to help, it is not all about the money. I do enjoy helping traders. Visit my website and drop me a line  www.SniperDayTrading.com , the New Year is just ahead, start off on the right foot, take action.

Emini Trading Course

Friday, January 1st, 2010

It is official, 2010 has started.

My “Emini Trading Course“, is available to help provide to those traders who are looking for structure and a consistent approach to start the New Year.  In my emini trading course, you will have available to you the tools and knowledge to pull 2-3 points out of the S&P each day, providing you have the ability to follow the rules and exercise discipline. I teach traders to trade for income and not the occasional home run trades many are looking for. When we swing for the fences, to often we strike out.  

 It will take time to perfect your new skills, but with some work and dedication to learn the trading method, you will be on your way. Day Trading is like learning a language, you won’t pick it up over night, but as I mentioned, if you work at it and have a strong desire to overcome any of your personal short comings and are able to exercise the trading discipline that is needed, you can I believe learn to “day trade for a living“.

This is a subject that is very often misunderstood. There are many would be traders, who have a desire to successfully day trade for a living, but have no written plan of action. That would be like sailing for an island, knowing that it is in this or that direction, without a compass, longitude and latitude coordinates and such. What are the chances you will find the island you are looking for, even if it is a big one, like Hawaii. It is a worthwhile destination for sure, but if you don’t plan for the trip by taking all the essential things you will need, there is no doubt, you will have problems.

To many traders, are just so excited with all of the possibilities that they see. This excitement clouds everything that is needed to actually get to your destination. To often, traders are in just such a scenario and are enamored with this euphoria that seems to take over, in the thoughts of the journey alone. It is the destination we all strive for and there is where the rewards are found. Setting sail into uncharted waters can be exciting but if you lose focus and are not prepared, it will only seem like a bad dream.

For a trip like this, you will need more than the basic’s, food and water. You will have to think of everything before you leave and not wait until you are out on the water when you realize that you forgot to pack some essentials. Doing so will only add weeks or possibly months to your journey if in fact you ever even arrive. Do you see the comparison? If not properly prepared, you will become a statistic.

What ends up happening is, would be traders get lumped into a category that says, it can not be done, the markets are random and anyone who day trades does so to their own demise. That is what some say, possibly because they were not able to arrive at their destination. You need to have all of the tools for the journey before you leave. With the right training and trading method, it is possible to take a daily wage out of the market. Trading for income and a modest daily goal can be attained regardless of what “they say”.  You may not be profitable every trading day, but overall, you will  find what is needed to complete the journey. Structure, “Trading Discipline” and a “Sniper Trading” approach, could take you there.

Not all Emini Trading Courses are the same. Finding someone who has a solid tested approach and someone who has the time to work with you, are essential. Price Action Day Trading, has always been a consistent trading approach, because it all starts with the current price.

Why did the S&P 500 futures  just break out? What was happening before that, which caused the price to suddenly shoot up the way it did?

These are simple questions which many traders do not have an answer. Support and Resistance, are the byproduct of Price Action Day Trading and it will always be that way in the future for as long as the trading markets exist.

I wish all my readers the very best this coming year, I will be writing more about my emini trading course in the coming days to help those traders decide if  ”Sniper Day Trading” is right for them, so stay tuned.

Good Trading, Vince  !
