Chart Scan with Commentary: 2nd Time Through
The chart below presents a couple of interesting concepts. Prices have obviously been in consolidation. Prices formed an initial 1-2 low, but never completed the #3 point.
When prices are in consolidation, there are often full or partial 1-2-3 formations in both directions — 1-2-3 highs and 1-2-3 lows. These formations are part of the Law of Charts.
At one point, prices dipped down and violated the low of a very tight cluster of prices forming a second #1 point, which can be justified as a #1 point only by the fact that it was followed by a #2 and a #3 point.
Why do I use the term "cluster?" It's because either the Open or Close, or both, of every bar following the first #2 point fell within the price range of that #2 point. That long bar labeled "2" is called a Measuring Bar.
Ultimately, the second #2 point was violated, thus forming a Ross Hook.
At our seminars, in private tutoring, and in our online courses, we teach that when prices are in consolidation, it usually requires both a 1-2-3 formation, followed by a Ross Hook (tie breaker) to convince us that at last prices are ready to break out of consolidation.
Since trend takes precedence over consolidation, and because a 1-2-3 formation followed by a Ross Hook confirms a trend, we are then correct in attempting a Traders Trick Entry (TTE).
That Ross Hook was the not only the first time through the original #2 point, it was also the tie breaker that indicated prices may very well break out.
There were then two possible entries: enter early, using the TTE, or wait for the second time through the original #2 point. Either way resulted in a very nice trade.

The Russell 2000 is simply too easy to trade right now!
The Ambush trading method is specialised in catching intraday market tops and bottoms in a variety of Futures markets. Including the Russell 2000 Mini Future (RTY/M2K) traded at the CME, where Ambush Traders keep on cashing in big time again over the last couple of months!
Ambush day trades on an end-of-day basis so there’s no need to even check the markets during the day.
The Russell 2000 a very popular market out there among traders. It has two of the most important things private traders are looking for liquidity and volatility. I won’t even include a daily chart here as it does look quite boring. To keep it brief, the Russell is trading in a wide range for a long time now. Perfect conditions for Ambush and so this has paid out big time, here are all the recent trades:
Yes, that’s over $6000 within just three month and not even 20 trades! Which means Ambush traders made over $300 on average per trade doing nothing more than placing one entry order per day. I guess most active day traders made a lot less…but their brokers rich!
Now those are huge amounts if you have a small account and you might not want to make or lose hundreds or dollars per trade. Thanks to the new Micro Russell 2000 Mini Contracts (M2K) this is not an issue anymore. You can trade these with a small account now. Here are the results trading one M2K contract:
If that is not enough bang for the buck simply size it up and trade two contracts or three. It’s so great now you can position size as you like exactly matching your risk preferences!
In either case you have to ask yourself if you really can afford to miss out on these trades!
So whether you’re trading a $10k account or a $100k account, Ambush has the right markets for you to start following the signals.
Again, ask yourself if you really can afford to miss out on these trades or at least be aware of the signals? Now if you’ve been on the other sides of these trades trying to buy the breakouts you maybe should think about switching sides?

Chart Scan with Commentary: Gold vs Euro
Hey Giuseppe,
Does it make sense for me to convert some of my euros into gold? Can I do it by somehow trading a spread in the futures markets?
Yes, I think I would be worthwhile. Hopefully it’s not too late in the game, but my guess is that with all the problems in Europe, the uptrend we are seeing will last considerably longer.

Ambush Traders lock in $5700 of profits in the E-Mini S&P 500!
The Ambush trading method is specialised in catching intraday market tops and bottoms in a variety of Futures markets. Including the E-Mini S&P 500 Future (ES) traded at the CME, where Ambush Traders cashed in big time again over the last couple of days!
Ambush day trades on an end-of-day basis so there’s no need to even check the markets during the day.
The E-Mini S&P 500 is the most popular market out there. Everyone follows it and most of you guys probably trade it or at least own some ETFs based on the S&P 500 index. Ambush has always been doing well in this market and so it’s no surprise it has actually just made new all time equity highs.
But this month so far has been really crazy. While a lot of traders lost their shirts on the huge reversal we’ve seen related to the news around the trade war with china, Ambush took the other side of these trades and made over $5700 within a couple of days!
Yes, looking at that chart you’re right, Ambush went short pretty much exactly at the all time high of the S&P 500...
You have to ask yourself if you really can afford to miss out on these trades or at least be aware of the signals.
Now with the new Micro E-mini S&P 500 Index Futures (MES) that just started trading at the CME you can also follow these Ambush trades now with a small account:
Yes it’s just 1/10 the size of the regular E-Mini and this allows you to nicely position size into these trades. This is great news as the E-Mini S&P 500 hasn’t been that “mini” any more lately trading at such high prices.
Whether you’re trading a $10k account or a $100k account, Ambush has the right markets for you to start following the signals.
Again, ask yourself if you really can afford to miss out on these trades or at least be aware of the signals? Now if you’ve been on the other sides of these trades trying to buy the breakouts you maybe should think about switching sides?

Chart Scan with Commentary: MACD
Hey Joe! Is there any way I could have used MACD to get in on the huge drop prices made to new lows? See above chart.
Not the way I learned to trade MACD.
I use MACD only when there are swings high and swings low. Typically, I will look for a reversal bar of the price, followed by confirmation of MACD via a cross over. The cross over must take place no later than 3 bars from the swing-high/low reversal bar. I never use MACD to lead a trade. If the cross over happens before prices swing high or low, I ignore the trade. In the situation you presented, there was no real swing high, no real reversal bar, and the drop came due to a bad earnings report. There is no telling what might have happened had there been a good earnings report. Would prices have spiked higher? Who knows?
I do like to use weekly charts with MACD, which you showed above. Below I will mark the places where I would have used MACD to confirm the price action.
Reversal bars must be the highest high or the lowest low at the end of a swing, and the crossover must come within 3 bars of the highest high, or lowest low.

Today all US indices dropped sharply, exceeding mid May lows, even if they recovered part of their intraday losses by the close when buying activity came in: ES -0.86% (close @2780.75), NQ -1.11%, RTY -1.10%, DJT -0.76%, DJX -0.88%. The 2800$ support did not hold for ES.
VIX closed at 17.90, below the 20 “fear level”, but VIX is in a daily uptrend right now (consistent with seasonality).
152 industry groups were down for the day, and only 23 were up.
With the P/C volume ratio reaching 1.26, a bounce could happen.
WDAY’s earnings weighed on software stocks today. Wild move on earnings for GOOSE and ANF, both down more than 25%.
Grains (especially corn, see attached text file) are on potential major cyclical lows. Trade war apart, this should help ADM (-0.10% today), ANDE (+0.70%), BG (+2.35%).
FEYE recovered 4.00% to 14.81 around daily resistance level , nice performance on a down day.
Some of our laggards posted decent gains: HCLP +5.83%, HL +4.76%, HMY +2.55%.
FNKO and BJ retested their daily support levels today.
MOMO jumped 3.44% to daily resistance level.
UA dropped 3.05%, but that was not sufficient to give us a fill for our second entry at 0.35 (fills at 0.30).
ETSY also dropped 4.52% but no entry fill yet (fills at 0.35, 5 cents below our entry price).
SSYS had a wild day but managed to close near its intraday high (-0.41% for the day, close at 22.02, 48 cts below our long call strike). There were fills today at 0.50 for our spread. The mid price of the spread at the close is 0.625, right at 50% of our buying price. We now need a quick recovery, to our long call strike at least, or we will have to take a loss to avoid the maximum loss (which is guaranteed if SSYS stays below our long call strike by expiration).

Philippe Gautier

Chart Scan with Commentary: CCI
Hey Joe! What can a trader do with the CCI (Commodity Channel Index)?
Interesting question! Here are couple of things you might want to know about CCI. Believe it or not, it is very similar in concept to Bollinger Bands, which we discussed last week.
Bollinger Bands are showing you how today’s closing price compares with the closing prices of the last X number of days. You see it displayed as a simple moving average, with outer band lines at a distance of 2 standard deviations from the moving average of the closing prices of the last X days. BBs are plotted in the same window pane as are the prices.
CCI, however, is plotted as a single line in a separate pane. You see it as an oscillator with no limit on values within the pane. The CCI line can go up in value theoretically forever, or down in value, theoretically forever. CCI compares today’s typical price to a moving average of typical prices for X number of days’ and its value represents the mean deviation of today’s typical price from the moving average. Typical price can be the high + the low + the open + the close: divided by 4, or as simple as open + close: divided by 2, or any other combination of prices. CCI is typically plotted as an oscillator with the possibility of infinite values, however, once the value of CCI exceeds +100 or -100 it indicates that prices are beginning to trend. All values between +100 and -100 are essentially meaningless for purposes of trend identification. +100 indicates prices are moving up. -100 indicates that prices are trending down.
So, what can you do with it?
I use it to tell me when it seems safe to sell a naked put option. However, I can use it to go long the underlying stock or futures; buy a call option and sell a put option—creating a synthetic long position, or simply to buy a call.
For all the years I’ve used CCI, I set the moving average at 30 bars, which seems to work best for me.
Below is an example of selling a naked put with the help of CCI. Bear in mind that there are a number of other things I look at, which are taught in our course on Instant Income. I don’t just trade because CCI is above +100 or below -100.
On June 15, 2018 CCI moved above +100 to a value of 113.22. I then sold a naked $40 September put. As you can see, by the September option expiration prices were still climbing.

Today all US indices dropped sharply, exceeding mid May lows, even if they recovered part of their intraday losses by the close when buying activity came in: ES -0.86% (close @2780.75), NQ -1.11%, RTY -1.10%, DJT -0.76%, DJX -0.88%. The 2800$ support did not hold for ES.
VIX closed at 17.90, below the 20 “fear level”, but VIX is in a daily uptrend right now (consistent with seasonality).
152 industry groups were down for the day, and only 23 were up.
With the P/C volume ratio reaching 1.26, a bounce could happen.
WDAY’s earnings weighed on software stocks today. Wild move on earnings for GOOSE and ANF, both down more than 25%.
Grains (especially corn, see attached text file) are on potential major cyclical lows. Trade war apart, this should help ADM (-0.10% today), ANDE (+0.70%), BG (+2.35%).
FEYE recovered 4.00% to 14.81 around daily resistance level , nice performance on a down day.
Some of our laggards posted decent gains: HCLP +5.83%, HL +4.76%, HMY +2.55%.
FNKO and BJ retested their daily support levels today.
MOMO jumped 3.44% to daily resistance level.
UA dropped 3.05%, but that was not sufficient to give us a fill for our second entry at 0.35 (fills at 0.30).
ETSY also dropped 4.52% but no entry fill yet (fills at 0.35, 5 cents below our entry price).
SSYS had a wild day but managed to close near its intraday high (-0.41% for the day, close at 22.02, 48 cts below our long call strike). There were fills today at 0.50 for our spread. The mid price of the spread at the close is 0.625, right at 50% of our buying price. We now need a quick recovery, to our long call strike at least, or we will have to take a loss to avoid the maximum loss (which is guaranteed if SSYS stays below our long call strike by expiration).

Ambush Traders lock in $5700 of profits in the E-Mini S&P 500!
The Ambush trading method is specialised in catching intraday market tops and bottoms in a variety of Futures markets. Including the E-Mini S&P 500 Future (ES) traded at the CME, where Ambush Traders cashed in big time again over the last couple of days!
Ambush day trades on an end-of-day basis so there’s no need to even check the markets during the day.
The E-Mini S&P 500 is the most popular market out there. Everyone follows it and most of you guys probably trade it or at least own some ETFs based on the S&P 500 index. Ambush has always been doing well in this market and so it’s no surprise it has actually just made new all time equity highs.
But this month so far has been really crazy. While a lot of traders lost their shirts on the huge reversal we’ve seen related to the news around the trade war with china, Ambush took the other side of these trades and made over $5700 within a couple of days!
Yes, looking at that chart you’re right, Ambush went short pretty much exactly at the all time high of the S&P 500...
You have to ask yourself if you really can afford to miss out on these trades or at least be aware of the signals.
Now with the new Micro E-mini S&P 500 Index Futures (MES) that just started trading at the CME you can also follow these Ambush trades now with a small account:
Yes it’s just 1/10 the size of the regular E-Mini and this allows you to nicely position size into these trades. This is great news as the E-Mini S&P 500 hasn’t been that “mini” any more lately trading at such high prices.
Whether you’re trading a $10k account or a $100k account, Ambush has the right markets for you to start following the signals.
Again, ask yourself if you really can afford to miss out on these trades or at least be aware of the signals? Now if you’ve been on the other sides of these trades trying to buy the breakouts you maybe should think about switching sides?

Chart Scan with Commentary: Bollinger Bands
Hey Joe! I know you have used Bollinger Bands with options when there is a reversal bar at one of the outer bands. Are there other ways to us it?
First, realize that most people use it as an indicator to locate overbought and oversold market conditions.
Yes! BBs can be used as a short-term trading indicator to determine market conditions and market direction. The idea is to sell when the price reaches above the upper band and to purchase when the market gets below the lower Bollinger Band.
The BBs also work very well for fading trends when the market is range bound and choppy. However, when markets are trending strongly, using the Bollinger Bands for picking tops and bottoms is highly discouraged. Traders who make this mistake can end up paying a huge price.
I’ve found it useful to use BBs to determine if the market is in fact range bound or trending. This helps me when trading options. However, I do change the settings from the standard 20 bar moving average of the close, along with two standard deviations for the outer bands, to a 15 day moving average along with two standard deviations.
To determine a strong up trend you want to see the upper band sloping upwards, with price bars touching or penetrating the upper band.
Notice how the upper band rises and prices are either coming very close, touching or penetrating the upper band.
Below you can see an example of how the BBs catch a strong downtrend. Notice the slope of the lower band and how the prices are moving and collecting at that band. This is a good sign that markets are headed sharply down, you can also see at one point the band is flattening out and market is becoming range bound and flat as well. This is what makes the Bollinger band one of the best short term trading indicators, the ability to analyze market conditions in volatile and flat markets.
Notice that in the beginning part of the GLD chart, and the latter part of the AA char prices are flat and sideways. There you see that the bands are flat and most of the price action is contained inside the bands. The Bollinger Bands do a very good job of identifying market conditions.
There are several ways your trading can benefit from using BBs to determine market direction. If you are trading a breakout or a trend following strategy, you can use this method as a filter to confirm that market is in fact trending strongly either upwards or downwards. If you are trading a flat market strategy or a reversal strategy you can use this method as filter to confirm that the market is in fact flat.
By using the Bollinger Band as a filter to determine market conditions and market direction you will avoid trading trend following strategies during dull flat market conditions and avoid picking tops and bottoms during strong trending market conditions.

Chart Scan with Commentary: Should I Buy Gold?
Chart Scan is not an advisory. I intend it to be a teaching letter. However, in this issue of Chart Scan I want to answer the question above. It’s a question I hear on a regular basis. Following are some things you should consider when thinking about buying gold.
“Monster Gold-Mining Deals Pile Pressure on Those Left Behind.”
The January 14 Bloomberg headline above might not seem like much, but it is really something to think about. Here’s why.
When an industry consolidates, investors can make a lot of money. Consolidation means buyouts—which usually come at a premium… And premiums boost stock prices higher. But that’s not the only reason the above is worthy of your attention. Mergers among mining companies are signaling a shift in the gold market, as well.
Those who know me know that I recommend holding a small percentage (5–10%) of chaos hedges like gold in of your portfolio. These assets provide insurance in times of crisis. But under the right conditions, they can also boost your wealth.
In today’s article, I’ll tell you why 2019 is shaping up to be a year in which holding gold will start to pay off.
Over the past six months, the gold mining industry has seen two megamergers.
In September 2018, A major gold miner bought a competitor for $6 billion. The merger made the major miner the largest gold mining company in the world… But that title won’t last long.
Recently, another major miner announced it would buy a rival miner for $10 billion. If the deal goes through, this latter miner will unseat the former as the world’s biggest gold miner. This wave of consolidation will probably continue.
The two major miners still represent only six or seven percent of global mine supply, so it’s still a very fragmented industry and I think investors are rightfully demanding that there’s a bit more consolidation.
And miners aren’t just merging because the industry is fragmented. They’re merging because it’s also necessary for their survival. That’s why the pressure is on for them to join forces.
I’ve heard the following dozens of times, “Gold Supply is Drying Up!” I decided to look more deeply into that statement to see if this time it might be believable. Here’s what I found:
Over the past seven years, we’ve seen a massive bear market in gold. As you can see in the chart below, gold is down $600 from its peak in September 2011…
Due to lower prices, miners have had to tighten their budgets. And in tough times, one of the first budget items to go is exploration. After all, if gold isn’t profitable, why look for it?
It hasn’t just been gold miners cutting back, either. Metals miners across the board have done so as well.
Capital spending is projected to be less than half of what it was at its peak in 2012. And smaller exploration budgets mean miners are finding fewer new deposits. On top of that, the new deposits aren’t as good as old ones.
In a recent private correspondence, I was told, “Mine grades and life are dwindling.” Since the source of this statement is from a company that does the drilling for exploration teams, I have a strong reason to believe it.
Adding to the supply crunch are production costs. Over the past 15 years, they’ve skyrocketed about 300% for major gold companies.
For example, one of the major miners had an average production cost of $300 per ounce in 2004. Ten years later, it rose to $800. Another major miner’s production costs jumped from $278 per ounce in 2004 to $922 last year.
Lower gold prices combined with higher productions costs mean one thing: dwindling supply. That’s good for gold prices—and gold investors…
An old saying goes like this: “The Cure for Low Prices Is Low Prices.” It’s a common saying amongst commodity investors.
When prices are low, miners aren’t making money. So they stop exploring new mines. The lack of supply creates scarcity. But scarcity eventually pushes prices back up.
That’s why miners are merging. They’re desperate for profits and hoping they can make up for lower profitability by increasing scale. But that’s a short-term solution.
Still, the long-term outlook for gold is positive. As gold becomes scarcer, prices will eventually rebound.
Now, it could take a couple years for this trend to play out. But when it finally does, we’ll see gold rise over 50% and reach new all-time highs.
The key thing, if you are going to use gold as a hedge to protect your assets is to get positioned now, before the move higher.
So, should you buy gold? I can tell you only that it’s what I have done.

- On 10th May 2019, we bought to close NTR Jun 21 2019 45P @ 0.20 on earnings day, after only one day in the trade, for quick premium compounding

The next big thing in equities trading is here!
This is what the CME says about their new product the Micro E-mini futures for the 4 major US indexes. The S&P 500, the Dow, the Nasdaq and the Russell 2000.
https://www.cmegroup.com/cme-group-futures-exchange/micro-futures.html
From what I can tell, this new products are really great especially with all the high volatility we see right now in the US indexes.
While it was easy to trade in the indexes with a small account and little risk, it got almost impossible during the last few years. The average amount on a 15 minute bar in the Nasdaq is about $400 to $500 these days which makes it almost impossible to trade these markets with small accounts.
That’s where I see a lot of potential with the Micros which are only 1/10 of the E-minis and a commission of about ½ of what we pay on the E-minis.
Finally you can open a futures account with only $2k and trade the indexes and you do not have to move into the stock market. No! You can trade real futures now with very little money.
By the way, there are not only micros or minis in the indexes now, you can also find them in the Currencies or Gold or trade Mini-Sized products in Crude or even Wheat, Corn or Soybeans.
In my opinion all the Micros and Mini-Sized products in the futures market are a big step forward for the retail trader, especially at the beginning of his or her trading career.
Good trading,
Andy Jordan

Chart Scan with Commentary: My Favorite Way to Trade Earnings Dates
Earnings reports enable me to be an occasional trader, in no way tied to a trading screen. In my semi-retirement, I trade only around earnings reports, which means I trade for a few days once each quarter when earnings are reported. That leaves me a lot of time for other activities.
I found that whenever the price of shares shoots up after earnings, I am able to get a second trade the day after prices react to the earnings report. The way I do it is through the strategies we use in out Instant Income Guaranteed program (IIG). Using Implied Volatility as described in the most recent issues of Chart Scan, and following with IIG the following day may be the perfect way to trade around earnings dates.
If share prices shoot up the day after the earnings report hits the market, why not sell some put options. Take a look at the following chart of U.S. Bancorp:
We see the volatility spike the day before earnings. We see that prices initially dropped but made a strong recovery by the end of the day. The next day prices continued the upward momentum from earnings day. Why not consider selling a $47 put if the premium is satisfactory?
Let’s look at a recent IIG trade. We make these kinds of trades over and over again. They are not at all unusual.

CME Group is aiming to make equity index futures trading more accessible to active traders through the launch of Micro E-mini futures on the S&P 500, Nasdaq-100, Russell 2000 and Dow Jones Industrial Average indexes.
"Futures trading has been growing in popularity for active traders all over the world," says Tim McCourt, CME Group Global Head of Equity Index and Alternative Investment Products. "The smaller contract size of Micro E-mini equity index futures will make it easier to more nimbly execute a variety of equity trading strategies, while benefiting from the deep liquidity that CME Group markets offer around the clock."

Ambush extends its crazy rally in the Australian Dollar!
The Ambush trading method is specialised in catching intraday market tops and bottoms in a variety of Futures markets. Including the Australian Dollar Future (6A) traded at the CME, where Ambush Traders are having an amazing time so far in 2019.
Ambush day trades on an end-of-day basis so there’s no need to even check the markets during the day.
Some of you might remember the last time we had a look at the Aussie Dollar in February. Till then Ambush showed an amazing performance trading that currency in 2019. But how did things go on from there? Was it worth buying the Ambush eBook or signing up to Ambush Signals to take the following trades?
The answer is a clear YES. The 6A just kept on moving in tight ranges and has been trading between about 0.71 and 0.73 for the whole year now. Just perfect conditions for Ambush allowing the Australian Dollar to make new equity highs in its Ambush performance.
That method still was able to capture some nice profits, often getting in at the top/bottom of a day’s range!
Once you realise that this isn’t that uncommon but that it’s exactly what the markets do most of the time don’t you want a strategy that works well under such conditions?
Where is the Australian Dollar going next? For sure to either the top or the bottom of the trading range it’s in. As Ambush Traders we don’t mind, we’ll be there ready to sell to or buy from the novice traders who’ll then accelerate our profits as they got to get out of their next losing trade.
Here’s the result of all of these trades, trading one Australian Dollar Index (6A) contract, including $10 commissions/slippage per trade. We’re up over $4000 in the Aussie Dollar now, and that’s just one of many markets Ambush covers!
Now if you’ve been on the other sides of these trades trying to buy the breakouts you maybe should think about switching sides!

Chart Scan with Commentary: Quick Reversals
One of the better money-making trading patterns is something you might call a “quick reversal.”
These are not the easily identified major reversal bars you see at the end of a swing or trend. The one I will be describing in this issue of Chart Scan requires fast action on your part. The reversal pattern is especially good for scalping in the context of day trading.
A quick reversal is a short 1-day reversal opposite the main trend.
When the pattern is forming it looks like the market is suddenly breaking out in the opposite direction from the trend. However, as the day continues the market quickly changes direction and closes back in line with the main trend.
In the example below, you can see how prices gap down against the trend, and at first appear to be heading down.
However, as the day progresses buyers come into the market who feel that this is a good buying opportunity, and momentum going in the direction of the trend begins again.
This is a short term trade that's designed to take advantage of prices being temporarily out of balance.
Make sure the breakaway day closes in the upper 20 percent of the trading day.
You want to make sure momentum is coming into the market the day before your entry.
Let’s look at this on a daily chart GLD, aka, Spider Gold Trust.
You need 1-day gap away from the main trend and a close near the high of the day as the best setup for the trade.
The next day is the entry day, and this is the most important time because this strategy moves fast, and you want to make sure you don't miss the momentum coming into the market.
The entry point is above the high that was made on the signal bar which is the gap down bar.
The best trades get filled at or near the opening bell so you probably want to place a buy stop order just above the gap-day high price.
This way your trade will be filled automatically when the market trades above the gap high day.
One Important word of caution, do not take signals that occur after the first 2 hours of the trading day. This is a day trade so you want to make sure you have plenty of time for the trade to develop and achieve some degree of profit.
Don't limit yourself and your opportunities by day trading too late in the day when there is less profit potential and less time for trades to develop. Remember! This is a scalp trade. Take your money and run.

This week, we're looking at short HGK19 – HGN19: short May 2019 and long July 2019 Copper (COMEX at Globex).
Today we consider a Copper calender spread: short May 2019 and long July 2019 Copper (COMEX at Globex). The spread has been trading in a range between 0.50 and -0.90 for almost two months. Will the spread drop below the December low and will it follow its seasonal path to the down-side?

Chart Scan with Commentary: Swing Trading
Hey Joe! I suspect from my trading results that I probably should be a swing trader, but I have no idea of how to go about it. Do you have a way to use a simple method that would help me with these doggone swinging markets? Maybe something that doesn’t use indicators?
Yes, I think I can help, but there are those that laugh at the simplicity of what I’m going to show you.
One method that fits the criteria of swing trading strategies that work is relative strength, while it may sound fancy, it's just a term for looking at several related markets and seeing which one is stronger and which one is weaker. The key is to make sure there is relationship between the markets. We don’t need a relative strength indicator for this one.
What you want to do is to find two markets that have a relationship between them. A good example would be the e-Mini S&P along with the e-Mini Nasdaq. These two markets are about 85% correlated.
The e-Mini S&P is sloping about 55%
If I was to place a relative strength trade between these two contracts I would simply purchase the E-mini SP Contract and Sell the E-mini Nasdaq Futures Contract. Let's see how this would work out in reality.
Take a look at both charts as they appear on the February 21, 2013. See for yourself how it would have worked out.
e-Mini S&P drops about half as much as e-Mini Nasdaq
Simple! All you need are your eyeballs. This is a simple observation spread. Just remember that the two markets must be closely related.
E-mini Nasdaq falls twice as hard as SP index
You can clearly see from these two charts that the E-mini Nasdaq is dropping about twice as hard as the E-mini SP Futures Contract. This is a great example of swing trading strategies that work in the real world. We simply combined visual trend analysis and took two markets that are related and compared the strength of one vs. the other.
You would simply go long the E-mini SP and you would short the E-mini Nasdaq contract at the exact same time. You can apply this same method to related stocks or other related markets. But make sure your positions are of equal size, this is very important.

Is Natural Gas back to normal?! Ambush traders have one of their cash cows back!
The Ambush trading method is specialised in catching intraday market tops and bottoms in a variety of Futures markets. Including the Natural Gas Future (NG) traded at the CME, where Ambush Traders are cashing in again lately.
Ambush day trades on an end-of-day basis so there’s no need to even check the markets during the day.
Towards the end of 2018, fundamental news caused prices in Natural Gas to go crazy with volatility levels almost 10 times above normal. This didn’t just put various funds out of business but also caused most Ambush traders to stay away from NatGas for a while.
Right now NG is trading pretty much where it traded before the hype and looks much more like the NatGas market we are used to again.
As you can see on the chart below it moves in boxes and has a lot of false intraday breakouts, perfect conditions again for Ambush:
With NatGas behaving normal again, Ambush results look great again too.
Here’s the result of all of these trades, trading one Natural Gas (NG) contract, including $10 commissions/slippage per trade:
Now if you’ve been the one making money on the crazy up-move just ask yourself how often that actually happens and if you wouldn’t rather be making money the other 95% of the time ;)

Chart Scan with Commentary: Where’s the #2 Point?
Hey Joe, what do they mean when they talk about “picks and shovels” companies?
"Picks and shovels" companies can make great low-risk investments. That's because these businesses provide the tools and services that support entire sectors.
I can best answer your question with an example: Ciena (CIEN) is a $6 billion telecommunications supplier. It provides the hardware and software that runs broadband Internet, cable, and telecom networks. Although you may not have heard of Ciena, its partners include telecom giants like AT&T (T), Comcast (CMCSA), and Verizon (VZ). And as those giants compete for market share, Ciena keeps making sales... Ciena recently reported sales of more than $3 billion for the fiscal year 2018, a 10% increase from 2017.
As you can see on the chart at the time of this writing CIEN shares are up, too. The stock soared more than 60% over the past year, and it recently hit a new multiyear high. It's more proof that investing in picks-and-shovels companies is a solid strategy.

Trading Article: Strategic Trading
Successful trading is part reliable method and part mental edge. Without a sound set of methods and financial resources, it is impossible to trade profitably. Your method should also have a good track record, and it is essential to have enough capital to allow your method to work in terms of realistic position sizes and the number of losing trades you can afford to take before you hit upon a winning streak. But method is only part of the equation. You also need to approach trading with the proper mindset.
Trading can be a matter of probabilities. Even when you have accounted for all possibilities, there are times when the circumstances don't match up with your trading plan and you end up with a losing trade. For example, a company may miss earnings expectations, and from studying the products of the competition, you can arrive at the astute conclusion that the company's stock price is destined to decline. You buy to cover. But what you didn't account for was a popular media analyst talking up the stock and claiming that it was bound to hit new highs in the next quarter. The masses act on the report and the price goes up. What can you do? Rather than kick yourself for being wrong, it is prudent to take it in stride and move on. Trading the markets with assurance can be a matter of probabilities. You have to go where the markets take you and accept what happens. You cannot impose your will onto the markets, and when things don't go your way, you cannot take it personally.
Why do we take setbacks personally? Many times, it is how we look at the situation that dictates how we will feel about it. When we believe a setback happens because it was our fault, and circumstances cannot be changed, we will take the setback personally. A trader might think, for example, "I don't have the natural ability to make it as a trader. It's not the markets, it is me, and I will never master the markets." Psychologists call this kind of thinking "helpless prone." When we make a failure a big deal, we cannot help but feel pessimistic and helpless. Instead of falling prey to a sense of hopelessness, you need to develop an action-based, realistic plan for overcoming obstacles. You must work under the assumption that you can achieve your goals if you put in enough time and effort. What is wonderful about the trading profession is that it is only about the markets and you. There is no supervisors or customers to please. It's not about overcoming interpersonal or institutional factors.
Accept personal responsibility when appropriate. The method you use to trade the markets is your responsibility. You must decide to use a sound method. You must decide to carefully manage risk to ensure your long-term survival. You must decide to put in the necessary effort to find high probability setups. But you can't control the market action. You can't control how much public interest there will be in the market you are trading. You can't control the extent that unexpected news or unexpected world events may influence prices. Assuming you can control everything will make you "helpless prone." Once you have taken every precaution and trade with a sound method, you can limit the amount of risk on each trade and make a profit across a series of trades. Rather than mull over the outcome of a single trade, you can coolly move on to the next trade. And when you take losses and setbacks in stride, you will be more likely to trade freely, creatively, and profitably.

- On 1st October 2018, we sold to open RGLD Jan 17 2020 65P @ 4.50, with 466 days until expiration with our short strike about 15% below price action.
- On 4th April 2019, we bought to close RGLD Jan 17 2020 65P @ 0.65, after 185 days in the trade for a nice profit of 385$ per option
This trade went comfortably through the sharp correction in December 2018.
Profit: 385$ per option
Margin: 1300$
Return on Margin annualized: 58.43%

Is Natural Gas back to normal?! Ambush traders have one of their cash cows back!
The Ambush trading method is specialised in catching intraday market tops and bottoms in a variety of Futures markets. Including the Natural Gas Future (NG) traded at the CME, where Ambush Traders are cashing in again lately.
Ambush day trades on an end-of-day basis so there’s no need to even check the markets during the day.
Towards the end of 2018, fundamental news caused prices in Natural Gas to go crazy with volatility levels almost 10 times above normal. This didn’t just put various funds out of business but also caused most Ambush traders to stay away from NatGas for a while.
Right now NG is trading pretty much where it traded before the hype and looks much more like the NatGas market we are used to again.
As you can see on the chart below it moves in boxes and has a lot of false intraday breakouts, perfect conditions again for Ambush:
With NatGas behaving normal again, Ambush results look great again too.
Here’s the result of all of these trades, trading one Natural Gas (NG) contract, including $10 commissions/slippage per trade:
Now if you’ve been the one making money on the crazy up-move just ask yourself how often that actually happens and if you wouldn’t rather be making money the other 95% of the time ;)

Chart Scan with Commentary: How is Gold Doing?
I’ve been asked many times whether or not someone should buy gold. This is especially true of people who are using a currency that is not the US dollar. What you need to look at is whether or not gold is rising or falling in terms of the currency you use for everyday living. You can easily determine which way gold is moving by looking at the ratio between your local currency compared with gold.
If it’s costing more and more of your local currency to buy an ounce of gold, then gold is in an uptrend for you, and you should consider buying it. For example, if I take the price of gold and divide it by the price of the euro, I can see that in terms of the euro gold is in an uptrend.
It is taking more and more euros to buy an ounce of gold.
Please realize that what we are showing is gold in terms of a currency. However, gold can be measured in terms of just about anything. What if we looked at gold vs the S&P 500 over a period of 20 years? Until just a short time ago, gold was in a downtrend relative to the S&P 500.
What if we look at gold compared with other commodities? How is gold doing from that view point.
I suppose we can say that how gold is doing, is relative to the context in which you are looking.

Chart Scan with Commentary: Possible Spread Trade
I received a complaint saying that whenever I give a spread trade in Chart Scan, I always show one that is already working. So, let’s look at a spread that is coming up soon, one you might look for. The trade is an intra-market spread in the gasoline futures.
Here’s what makes this spread work: Consumption of gasoline is lowest in winter, when driving conditions are worst, and highest in summer, when school is out, people are on vacation, and driving conditions are best.
During February, gasoline refineries retool --- shutting down for maintenance and preparing to maximize gasoline production. From that point in time, demand for gasoline begins to grow as the industry rebuilds depleted inventories in time for the traditional opening of the US vacation and driving season (Memorial Day, the last Monday in May). That growth is further accelerated by a need to actually replace inventories along the Eastern Seaboard with gasoline reformulated to meet seasonally more stringent environmental standards. (For example, gasoline deliverable against March futures is unacceptable for delivery against April-September contracts). In this situation, price precedes consumption.
Intensifying pressure to meet accelerating demand during the transition from low inventory/low consumption to high consumption drives futures prices and bull spreads.
In fact, the Long June/Short September Gasoline spread typically closes higher in the June contract around May 3 than around April 9, about 93% of the time. You’ll want to enter this trade from 1-10 days prior to April 9.

Chart Scan with Commentary: Golden Cross
Hey Joe! What is a golden cross? Can you give me an example?
A Golden Cross occurs when the 50-day moving average rises to meet and cross the 200-day moving average. I suggest that we may soon see a Golden Cross take place in the gold market. I think that the bearish gold cycle that took the most significant part of 2018 may have ended in mid-October 2018. The outlook is much more bullish, and we are entering now an upbeat gold environment and so, a possible bright future for gold in 2019. I am supporting my thoughts on the final crossing of the $1,250 per Oz resistance experienced last year, which is an essential technical bullish confirmation.
This crossing led me to predict that gold is about to form a "golden cross" during the first quarter of 2019 as shown in the chart below:

Trading Article: Don’t be Frustrated
How well have you been doing in the markets these days? There have been many opportunities in the past few weeks, but an abundance of market opportunities, don't always guarantee success. Setbacks can be the rule rather than the exception when it comes to trading. Discovering reliable trading strategies is a challenge, and frequently, a promising strategy produces a series of losses, especially under new market conditions. Losses and other setbacks can be frustrating and anxiety provoking. If you are expecting to win because the markets have been showing new highs, you can feel especially frustrated when you don't meet your expectations. As much as you don't want to be fazed by these setbacks, it can be difficult. When you face setback after setback, it can be hard to pick yourself up. It's tempting to give into the frustration and feel beaten by the pressure. The only way to make it, however, is to pick yourself up and keep trading the markets with a fighting spirit.
In order to keep up a fighting spirit, it is vital to have high frustration tolerance: No matter how many setbacks you face, you must keep going. Maintaining a fighting spirit is largely a matter of having the proper mindset. People with low frustration tolerance tend to believe that they should never experience a setback and that if they experience a setback, it is impossible to overcome it. But this mindset will get you stuck rather than moving ahead. It is essential to constantly remind yourself that setbacks are a natural part of life. Indeed, if you are trying to succeed at trading, you should expect setbacks. Instead of dreaded events, challenges and setbacks can be viewed as part of the excitement and stimulation of living. When you face a setback while trading, you should view it as an opportunity to learn and develop your trading skills rather than a discouraging obstacle. Merely changing your viewpoint regarding potentially frustrating events can significantly change the outcome of your trades.
A proper attitude is one of the best ways to prevent feelings of frustration, but it is also important to build up physiological defenses. Every time you face a setback, it can take a great deal of energy to cope with it. Each setback uses up physical and mental energy, and if you are not careful, a series of setbacks can wear you out. By getting plenty of rest, and especially sound night's sleep, we can cope with frustration more easily. Regular exercise and proper nutrition can help your body create a natural defense against frustration. It is also important to set realistic expectations. You will feel especially frustrated when you set unrealistic expectations and fail to meet them. By realizing that no matter how optimal the market conditions, profits are never guaranteed, you'll feel more at ease when you encounter setbacks. You won't be caught off guard, and you will be ready to deal with them. It may be discouraging at times to continually face setbacks, but it is necessary to learn to deal with them.

Ambush starts off with big profits into the year in the Australian Dollar!
The Ambush trading method is specialised in catching intraday market tops and bottoms in a variety of Futures markets. Including the Australian Dollar Future (6A) traded at the CME, where Ambush Traders are having an amazing time so far in 2019.
Ambush day trades on an end-of-day basis so there is no need to even check the markets during the day.
So let’s have a look at what happened in the Australian Dollar so far this year. Early January the market tried to break out to the downside and Ambush got in at a very low price level at around 0.6900, exiting above 0.7000. Since this false breakout as you can see not too much happened. The 6A just kept on moving in tight ranges and has been trading between about 0.71 and 0.73 for two months now.
Good news is that Ambush still was able to capture some nice profits, often getting in at the top/bottom of a day’s range!
Once you realize that this isn’t that uncommon but that it’s exactly what the markets do most of the time don’t you want a strategy that works well under such conditions?
Where is the Australian Dollar going next? For sure to either the top or the bottom of the trading range it’s in. As Ambush Traders we don’t mind, we’ll be there ready to sell to or buy from the novice traders who’ll then accelerate our profits as they got to get out of their next losing trade.
Here’s the result of all of these trades, trading one Australian Dollar Index (6A) contract, including $10 commissions/slippage per trade:
If you’ve been on the other sides of these trades trying to buy the breakouts, you really should consider switching sides!

Chart Scan with Commentary: Instant Income Trade
The safest and most consistently profitable way to trade has for me been through the development of the Instant Income Guaranteed strategy of trading.
The following is an example of an IIG trade using options.
On 17th May 2017, we gave our Instant Income Guaranteed subscribers a trade for VALE (Vale SA).
We entered a "complex position", entered for a net credit (still working with OPM, i.e. other people's money, as usual), but with unlimited upside potential.
- on 17th May 2017, we entered the trade for an average credit of 2.49 (or 7.47 = 747$ for 3 positions)
- on 7th September 2017, we sold to close one third of our long position
- on 5th January 2018, we bought to close all our short position
- on 2nd October 2018, we sold to close the second third of our long position
- on 10th December 2018, we sold to close the last third of our long position
Profit: 1321.50$
Margin: 330$
Average Short Strike: 16.47$
Return on Margin annualized: 256%
Return on Principle annualized: 51.2%
We stayed 272 days in the trade, and the annualized returns were on the high side. All we had to do was to maximize our profits along the way, by being patient, closing the last long position for a reduced profit (trade war, end of year weakness).
This was a low maintenance, low stress trade with lots of upside potential.

Trading Article: Mental Momentum
When you're under a great deal of pressure, it is easy to make mistakes. You feel the stress, and when you're on edge, it is difficult to make decisions or to look at your current trading predicament objectively. It's much nicer to feel you are ahead of the game, than struggling hard to come back from behind. When you have a drawdown, you can feel a little disappointed, a little stunned, as if you have fallen, and you are having trouble getting up. After you've made a series of successful trades, however, you can feel much more powerful, as if you can relax a little bit. And when you feel relaxed, you also feel creative, and can think of winning strategies. Everything seems to click and you start trading effortlessly and profitably. Feeling ahead of the game usually puts you in an optimal mental state. But it is hard to feel such empowerment when you are feeling behind, or stuck in a rut, not making any headway. At these times, it is important to remember that there are two types of momentum—profit momentum, and mental momentum.
We're all familiar with profit momentum. That's when you are way ahead in terms of profits. Mental momentum is also useful, though. We feel mental momentum when we believe we have made our best effort, when we feel that we have done everything we possibly could have done. At these times, it is useful to pat ourselves on the back for a job well done. While trading, we usually forget to give ourselves credit when we have put in a good effort. We are usually focused only on profits and those efforts that produce profits. In order words, we focus exclusively on performance goals, while completely forgetting about learning goals, which are equally important.
Instead of only focusing on a performance goal, such as striving for a 20% profit per month, for example, it is useful to think of other goals that are equally important: Goals that take effort, but may not always directly produce a profit. There are many modest goals that can be achieved more easily and deserve a reward upon completion. It is useful to break down the goal of making a huge profit from a few good trades into specific steps that are doable, and should be rewarded after each step. For example, studying for 30 hours a week or learning a new trading technique is important and worthy of reward, even if the reward is just a personal sense of accomplishment. The specific goal may not immediately lead to the larger goal of making a 20% profit per month, but it is easy to achieve, will lead to personal satisfaction upon completion, and in the long run, will contribute to the long term goal of becoming a seasoned, profitable trader. The more you complete these modest goals, the more mental momentum you will generate.
It is important to give yourself credit for all the effort you put into trading. It is tempting to feel good about your efforts only when they pay off, but you put in just as much effort putting on a losing trade as a winning trade. Regardless of whether you win or lose, you'll feel better if you reward yourself for all the work you do, regardless of the outcome. The more you reward yourself for all the work you do, the more mental momentum you will feel. This, in turn, will make you feel strong and empowered, allowing you to trade more effortlessly and profitably.

Ambush starts off with big profits into the year in the Australian Dollar!
The Ambush trading method is specialised in catching intraday market tops and bottoms in a variety of Futures markets. Including the Australian Dollar Future (6A) traded at the CME, where Ambush Traders are having an amazing time so far in 2019.
Ambush day trades on an end-of-day basis so there is no need to even check the markets during the day.
So let’s have a look at what happened in the Australian Dollar so far this year. Early January the market tried to break out to the downside and Ambush got in at a very low price level at around 0.6900, exiting above 0.7000. Since this false breakout as you can see not too much happened. The 6A just kept on moving in tight ranges and has been trading between about 0.71 and 0.73 for two months now.
Good news is that Ambush still was able to capture some nice profits, often getting in at the top/bottom of a day’s range!
Once you realize that this isn’t that uncommon but that it’s exactly what the markets do most of the time don’t you want a strategy that works well under such conditions?
Where is the Australian Dollar going next? For sure to either the top or the bottom of the trading range it’s in. As Ambush Traders we don’t mind, we’ll be there ready to sell to or buy from the novice traders who’ll then accelerate our profits as they got to get out of their next losing trade.
Here’s the result of all of these trades, trading one Australian Dollar Index (6A) contract, including $10 commissions/slippage per trade:
If you’ve been on the other sides of these trades trying to buy the breakouts, you really should consider switching sides!
