Dow Jones Futures Month of July Day Trading Gameplan Now that June has printed, I am looking ahead for my gameplan on July. Still inside of the 4 hour Bear Flag, I am still bullish on price up until the yellow supply zone box. I am expecting a third hit to the top of the bear flag channel's top. The Green box is massive support and I am expecting the last two pivot highs to be taken out on the march higher. IF, my thesis is correct on this long term bull flag monthly pullback, then when price reaches the yellow box, it should continue with the selling, breaking the bear flag and dropping another 3,000 points. That should occur August roughly. I will do my best to buy pullbacks on the way back up. My Day Trading stats in June: 17 trades 9 losers 8 winners 47% win rate Avg win: 274.00 Avg loss: -142.00 Total Gain: 6% +912.50 My goal in July: 45% win rate 8% total gain

Dow Jones Friday Day Trading Buy Set UpThis week is shaping up to be a doji candle that is revolving around the Week's Open price of 39,589. I believe Friday will continue to be a range type of day that will go lower first then start to trade above Friday's open and another explosive short squeeze up to 39,705 before trading back down and closing near the week's open. I will be looking for a pullback on top of Friday's Open price of 39,501, which so coincidently happens to be Thursday's Open price as well. I measured 200 ticks above and below Friday's open as that is 0.50% move both +/- A range day typically rotates around a price level. I will use my 50 tick stop and 120-150 tick target if/when that sets up. I will allow myself two chances Friday. Two losses in a row and I walk away for the day. I use the 4 hour for direction and the 15 minute for my entry. Bias: I have a 90% lean towards going long up into yesterday's high/ the mid point of the yellow buy to sell box/ 0.50% move higher. Price target 39,705

Feel free to enter in this same trade, of course using your own money management. My limit sell Entry: 40,117 Stop: 40,302 185 ticks Target: 38,300 1,817 ticks 9.82 risk to reward Once the bear flag has been broken, only then will I move to break even. I expect this trade to be a 2-3 week hold

Dow Jones futures eyeing bullish breakout?Sitting in a bullish pennant pattern with RSI and MACD pointing to building bullish momentum, it looks like we may soon see a test of topside resistance in Dow Jones futures, pointing to the potential for a bullish break or bearish reversal that may see the price coil up even further. Whatever outcome eventuates, we can build a trade setup around it using topside resistance. Should futures bust higher, consider buying the break with a tight stop below the former resistance level. The preference would be to see the price close above the level before initiating the trade as we saw a reversal take place the last time the level was tested. The initial trade target would be 40213, the high set that day, with the record high of 40358 the next level after that. If the trade works in your favour, consider raising your stop to entry level, or using a trailing stop if we see the record high give way. But should futures test resistance without being able to close above, consider selling the failure with a tight stop above the level for protection. Potential trade targets include 39658 and 39193. From a fundamental perspective, renewed signs of disinflation in the US economy adds to the risk we may see more than one rate cut delivered by the Fed this year. With activity holding up, at least according to the Atlanta Fed GDPNow estimate, the combination of rate cuts and resilient economic growth is the very definition of a textbook soft landing, an outcome that should benefit more cyclical indices such as the Dow.

Dow Jones Weekly Bullflag / Daily BearflagI ended up cancelling my sell orders at 40,056 due to more analysis. I believe price will shoot past that level and head up into the red sell zone at the top of the bear flag. Exactly where? I don't know. I will keep waiting for this pullback to continue. Ultimately, I am looking for another counter trend sell down into the grey box area before the next move higher. I am long term bullish on Dow Jones, price target 150,000 The thick Cyan line is 2024's open price and so far, price has been range bound oscillating around this level. I am expecting some ranging below this level as well, down into the grey box. To me, this looks like a giant accumulation area of buying inside of this huge bull flag in preparation of the next move higher.

Dow Jones Range Sell High Set UpMy last trade was a loss due to me selling in the middle of the range. Part of trading. On the 4 hour, I have drawn my range better using the orange Buy to Sell box as the top of the range and the May 30th as the bottom. I have marked the green and red dotted lines as stop loss liquidity targets Currently price is in a bullish impulse move higher I will take the aggressive entry with the limit order right under the buy to sell red line. Stop just above with 185 ticks. I am targeting the stops under the red dotted line and about the middle of the range because from there I am not sure where price will go after. I don't want to guess a break out of the downside if it indeed bounces off the middle and breaks out to the upside. If it breaks out to the upside then that will negate my bullflag thesis and I will have to rethink my longer term plan. The conservative entry is when it breaks the bull move's counter trendline in green. What makes me second guess the breakout to the downside is that this range is being stacked on top of the previous range with the May 30th bottom being right AT the middle of the last range. Trade Entry: Limit Sell Order 6 MYM Micros at Price: 40,042 Stop Loss at Price: 40,227 with 185 ticks. Risk: $555.00 Target: 39,172 with 870 ticks Potential Gain: $2,610.00 Potential Risk to Reward: 4.7R Estimated Time For Holding Trade: 3-6 days upon being filled

Dow Jones Daytrading Weekly Template Ahead Key LevelsSetting up my key levels for the current weekly template I will be expecting a range week as it is inside of a bear flag. Two levels that jump out at me are Last Week's Low and the middle of the range line at the bottom yellow box. I will be using those as targets. I think the 12's CPI was the last lower high and this week will make another lower high and new lower low. The average weekly candle is 947 ticks from high to low Some scenarios I can see playing out are the following It just depends on if price will work the high first or go down to the low and work that low. I will be looking out for June's Open price as a major resistance level. After going through the last 120 years on the monthly chart, 80% of all June's have been down months. I will be mostly looking for sells and will be using my trade management of: Max 2 Losses per day 50 tick stop losses 125 tick take profits 2.5 risk to rewards No trading the first hour 4 Hour trend/structure 15 minute entry time frame Shooting for 40-45% win rate

Very interesting similarity between the ES1! and YM1!I was recently watching a video in the ideas section of trading view and I notice this person speculates that the price will drop lower in the Dow Jones. Interestingly enough, this also lines up quite well in my charts. It's important to notice that many differences exist between these two tickers. The fluctuations of the CBOT_MINI:YM1! and the CME_MINI:ES1! are quite different. I had to adjust the n data previous points in the short term mean return indicator to 20 as well as set the sensitivity to 2. This way the chart was not overcrowded and easier to read. As well as larger short term MA and distribution was needed. I'll take advantage of this difference to explain what happens when the parameters in the indicator change. There are two factors to the sensitivity of the indicator. One is the number of previous days considered (parameter n). The higher this value is, the less sensitive the indicator is, therefore it's better at detecting longer term trends. This is the reason why I include 2 in the indicator. One to see the short term trend and one for the long term trend. This in addition to knowing where we are in the distribution help me for a hypothesis of what is most likely to happen next. One key factor of my strategy when trading is to never go short unless you are absolutely sure you are correct, always look for discounts and take profits. It's better to buy at discounted prices than trying to catch both waves of the market. You already know the market did one wave, what do you think will happen next? Of course, the next wave! I personally trade with no stop loss to not materialize erroneous entries and look to buy even more as prices continue to drop and are at attractive levels. Unless there is a clear possible break of market structure like it's visible here, as the 200MA has been used in the past as strong points of support and resistance. If this structure is broken, then it's quite possible that price will trend even lower, so this trade does require a stop loss. When I was more of an intermediate and unprofitable trader, I relied a lot on two indicators, which did give me the ability to make somewhat accurate predictions. Since tradingview has kept increasing the restrictions on free accounts, I had to choose between two of my favorite indicators. The RSI and the MACD. I chose to keep the MACD as it's visible on previous trades. Mean Returns offers the value of these two indicators into one, plus tests out a new hypothesis that I've been testing so far with great success. The basic premise of this indicator is to chart the market cycles in terms of average returns generated in the n periods before and the current one. Additionally, it creates the supposition that the market has inertia and therefore is likely to continue doing what it's already doing (aka: the trend is your friend) I hope the original posters of the video @AdvancedPlays gets to see this and find it to be of value. Always remember there are no certainties in the markets, only probabilities

Price Mean Reverting Around 2024's Open. Buy Low Target 120,000Price is oscillating around 2024's open price and is currently forming a bear flag to break down and start the pendulum swing on the other side of the open. This is where I will be looking to start scaling in my Long position for the next 15 years. After it touches down there at 37,000 it will never come back. That will be the prime time to buy. After it reaches price target of 150,000 in 2042, in order for it to reach 37,000 again, it must go through a 75% decline. The only time that has happened in the past was 1929 crash of 90% decline. 2024's Open Price and 2023's Closing Price are exactly the same These will be my next three buys in 2024 Stops will be 800 ticks on the Dow Targets will all be 120,000 price level I will be building my position from now 2024 until about 2040

Triple Screen Time Frame Analysis StrategyI am still trying to perfect my day trading strategy and am making this post for me to better understand all the moving parts of what it is I am trying to accomplish. I will use three time frames Weekly (Major Trend Direction) 4 Hour (Structure/Key Levels) 15 Minute (Lower Time Frame Entry) On the weekly time frame, I will mark January 1st 2024 to December 31st 2024 for the entire trading year. I will then mark the price the year opened at with a teal line. This is the open of the 12 month candle. I will then open up the ATR indicator to gauge the average weekly movements using the 14 period I then switch to the 1 period to see each individual weekly range. I can see that the 1 period ATR on average is roughly 1,400 ticks from high to low. Seeing how the 14 period's average is roughly 1,200 as well, I can say on average a given week should have roughly 1,200-1,400 ticks of movement from high to low. The weekly trend is bullish and trending higher in a spike and channel. Out of the last 31 weekly candles since the start of the move up, only 11 candles were of any bearishness. That is only 35% of all selected candles. The other 20 were bullish or a whopping 65%. The 4 hour time frame is for the structure and key levels. Over the course of this year there has been ample buy opportunities followed by selling spikes into the uptrend. A massive "W" is forming On the 15 minute, if I can align myself with the bigger move and limit myself to one trade a day, if it presents itself, with my 3:1 ratio, then my win% shall increase. I don't care how much further price went without me, as long as I hit my 3R target, that is all I care about. My personal goal is a 40% win rate with my 3R system.

Market Crash - Dow Weakness and Ascending WedgeHere with yet another ascending wedge. The dow recently went on a huge run, I believe 8 green days in a row or something close to that. It topped out near ATH and nearly retested it's ascending channel before becoming extremely weak. It has now breached several support levels and has failed on retests while forming an ascending wedge and closing below on Friday. I expect a gap down on Monday and further downside throughout the week.
