E-mini Trading: The Trouble With Trading Gaps By: David S Adams | - It is not unusual to hear individuals ask about trading the high probability gap trades. It seems that there is a perception (by some traders) that e-mini gap trading falls into the sure-fire trade class of trades. Note: I have yet to locate a sure-fire trade in several decades of trading.
In my experience, gap trading is nothing near a high probability trade. To be sure, for e-mini scalping traders, nothing could be farther from the truth. Its true that the market ten ... Tags:trading gaps, gap trading, e-mini trading, e-mini trading gaps
Surprising Anomalies In E-mini Trading And Trend Lines By: David S Adams | - Ive been writing some about trend lines lately and noted my observation, in several of the articles, of the declining use of this valuable charting tool. I dont have any illusions that a couple of articles by a relatively unknown author will have any effect on the use of these lines; but if just a couple of traders see the value of trending lines and e-mini trading, then I suppose I have done my job.
E-mini Trading: Support And Resistance And How It Effects Your Trading By: David S Adams | - In a recent article I noted that I felt that the important indicator on my chart wasnt an oscillator, or indicator or a set of moving averages. I like trading indicators that help me understand e-mini trading in real time. I can think of no better real time trading experience than watching price action move toward a known area of support/resistance (SAR) and evaluating what the possible outcomes may be when price collides with support lines or resistance lines.
E-mini Trading: Is Support And Resistance Really That Important? By: David S Adams | - In the world of trading, experts sputter about Donchian Channels, obscure oscillators and indicators are named in a manner in which I can scarcely pronounce. Make no mistake about it; there is an e-mini chart pattern and indicator wrapped into a neat package that stands head and shoulders (no pun intended) above the self-important sounding chart patterns and oscillators whose names sound a tad too grandiose. Given a choice of just one e-mini trading indicator/chart pattern I would select, hand ... Tags:e-mini trading, e-mini trading chart, e-mini chart, sar lines, support and resistance
Understanding Trend Lines In E-mini Trading: Types And Angles By: David S Adams | - I make it point to sketch in a trendline on the e-mini charts I trade.

E-mini Trading: An Introduction To Trend Lines By: David S Adams | - Most e-mini traders with even a small amount trading experience quickly note that the market is broadly moving up or down, usually in the familiar zigzag pattern.

E-mini Trading: Where Have The Trend Lines Gone? By: David S Adams | - As I look over the myriad of e-mini trading charts I receive from past students, friends and interest bystanders I have noticed that the diminutive trend line is often missing from the chart.

E-mini Trading: What Are My Real Chances Of Being A Successful Trader? By: David S Adams | - When chatting with individuals who have heard that e-mini trading is a great way to make a living, I am invariably asked if they really have a chance of succeeding in e-mini trading.

Peaks, Valleys, Oscillators And Other E-mini Trading Delusions By: David S Adams | - I cant deny there is an unmistakable thrill in picking that exact moment the price action on an e-mini trading chart peaks and the trend changes. Of course, the thrill is a rare one for me because it is always accidental. I dont try to pick the price or time when the market will peak; along the same line, I dont try to pick when the market will bottom out. There may be some very intelligent e-mini traders who have some innate ability to ascertain these moments; I am not one of them a ... Tags:e-mini trading, e-mini trader, trading
