Coaches Corner - Trader's Checklist | Episode #2

The Trader's Coach - Robin Dayne

Routines or rituals can help prepare a trader for their trading day by establishing a set of things to do in a specific order. This topic can also help to "set–in" a traders discipline and we all know how important that is towards our overall success.

All those that I have seen trading at the high end, have trading routines that allow them to prepare for their day, be ready when the market opens and keep them mental prepared for whatever the market throws at them.

Those that develop a Trader's Checklist, seem to have an easier time of things, maintain better control and lose less, because of their preparedness. Some even start the night before with the over night sessions. After all, we are now global traders...  much different from just 10 years ago.

Support And Resistance Made Simple | Episode #1,559

Support & Resistance Made Simple | Emini Futures Trading

Scanning our Blog Archive you'll see we have dedicated many blog posts to the topic of Trading Support and Resistance. Of all the topics we have written about or discussed on our Daily Emini Radio Broadcast over the past 7 years, probably none are more vital for the success of an Emini Futures Trader than the topic we've chosen tonight.

My friend and co-host Mike Reed, has used this simple concept as the core of his methodology for 27 years. He taught me a lot about the subject and I've discovered more on my own, but without him, I have no doubt I would not be where I am today. I am a firm believer in giving credit where credit is due. Without his mentoring and patience, traders around the world would be forced to face the markets each week without the benefit of our Weekly Trading Zones.

Emini Podcast | Episode #1,558

When the Fed hands you lemons, Make Lemonade!

S&P500 Emini Futures

Last night's TWEET was good for 10 points on the way down to our Weekly Trading Zone at 1416/1417. The party started with the double top in the 1431/1432 Weekly Zone. Once we found solid support at the 1416/1417 Zone, things got very interesting.

Previous ESZ2 trade idea is still valid. However, as a possible early entry, consider being short below 1427. $ES $ES_F #es

Fed Rally Fails - Emini Podcast | Episode #1,557

Fed Rally Fails - Trading The News Can Be Tricky Business

As surmised in our previous post, Pre Fed Fibs , QE4 is now underway and traders are scratching their head as they try to determine if the Evans Twist is good, bad or a trick. Along with QEinfinity, the Ponzi scheme has escalated to include the purchase of $45B of treasury notes each month on top of the QEi commitment to purchase $40B of mortgage backed securities.

It was announced last week by the Chinese government on a Chinese web site that China has a new toy. It amounts to a very large gun and it's pointed at America. Notoriously cryptic about the extent of its nuclear arsenal, China announced the launch on chinamil.com.cn a Chinese military news site. The DF-31A is believed to have three warheads per missile and a range of about 7,000 miles. This makes any city in America a reachable target and it can be launched from the back of a truck.
