Trade Like A Sniper - Episode 9 - NQ1- (31st May 2024)This video is part of a video series where I backtest a specific asset using the TradingView Replay function, and perform a top-down analysis in order to frame ONE high-probability setup. I choose a random point of time to replay, and begin to work my way down the timeframes. Trading like a sniper is not about entries with no drawdown. It is about careful planning, discipline, and taking your shot at the right time in the best of conditions.
A couple of things to note:
- I cannot see news events.
- I cannot change timeframes without affecting my bias due to higher-timeframe candles revealing its entire range.
- I cannot go to a very low timeframe due to the limit in amount of replayed candlesticks
In this session I will be analyzing E-mini NASDAQ, starting from the Weekly chart.

How I Use Treasury Futures To Better Execute The E-mini S&P 500Interest Rate Futures are the market leaders this year. Our technical indicators have less of an impact when the Bond & Treasury Markets are on the move and as Traders we have to be aware of when that is and how it impacts the price action in the E-mini S&P 500, E-mini Nasdaq 100 and Russell 2000 Futures. In this video I go over a simple, but effective way I use the 10 YR Futures ZN1! & the Micro 10 YR Treasury Futures 10Y1! to better execute the Indexes.
To learn more about the Futures Products discussed in the video please check out CME Group's Website. I also mention that I trade futures on TradingView using TradeStation so please go to TradingView's website or TradeStation's website to learn more.

Winning Daytraders Understand Trend Trading.Hey guys, most people that get into the markets want to learn how to daytrade. They want to learn how to play the market on a day to day basis and eliminate a lot of the stress.
Smart day traders understand trend trading. At the end of the day if you are trading something like a 15 minute time frame you're aware of how much noise their is in the markets. You need to eliminate the noise and focus on trend. Stop trying to scalp every little move getting in and out and racking up your fees.
What we do is identify some of the largest trends that we can find... the more noise you filter out, the better your odds are at winning. Then we just follow up with good risk management.
Take a look at the ema dots indicator. This takes out the complicated noise that most traders battle back and forth all day long either selling too early or buying too late. You need to stop focusing on trying to capture the exact bottom and the exact top. Just focus on capturing the overall trend transitions.
Every 15 minutes for example on this chart of the ES futures CONTRACTS we will get a set of dots to close a certain color. We take our position when they align and set a take profit, or hold till next transition. Easy. You risk a little to win big, meaning you play good risk management knowing that the next major move is right around the corner. Technically you don't really need to understand support and Resistance but it does help. I personally believe trading the trend is the way to the gold mine.
Dedicating Some Time Back To Futures. (ES)Been wanting to get back into the e mini for some time now.
As you know I focus on trading stocks and cryptocurrency mainly.
I mainly already have my alt portfolio created for long term holds in crypto and I have a couple of stock picks to finish out on the current trades as mentioned in the last post. Plus a couple of higher cap stocks that are also in play for swings.
I'm going to cool off and enjoy the big gains I got from the last two months and shift my focus back over to the emini for some day to day scalping.
We will be using and combining the Crossover strategy and the ema dots for the smooth buy and sell opportunites. Our trading system can make scalping very effective and I want to focus on development of this skillset. Most know I like to look for long term swing trades as I mainly am a position swing trader.
I will be scalping the one minute and I had to post the 15 min because I cant post lower timeframes.
I am considering of starting to live stream on here so I can break down how I trade with you all on live plays.
I will follow up with my current positions but mainly I will not be sharing a lot of different pairs as I go back to focus on scalping the market.
Just wanted to let my followers know where I sit on what I'm looking to play as of right now.
Will share follow ups on updates to the emini on this analysis.
Best of luck to you all in the markets this week!
Happy trading, 😁

S&P 500 Emini Futures Breakout StrategyEmini Breakout and Momentum Strategies
Profiting from breakouts and momentum trading is a favorite trading approach among Emini day traders. Emini momentum strategies often rely on capitalizing on a spike in momentum (order flow) activity. That’s the reason why Emini momentum strategies work best during times of increased volatility.
