Actionable real-time market intelligence for short-term investors

Designed to remove the obstacles between you and successful trading.
  • I'm new to this. Where do I start?

    Start with the Documentation. See link above. Then you may want to read through the documentation of our software products to see how we go about interacting with the markets.

  • When is this page updated?

    We update this page, with our plan and outlook for the next trading day, by midnight Eastern Time prior to every trading session on the US futures markets. We provide a morning brief for the day's trading session around 8am Eastern Time. We also post updates as necessary during the day, starting with a "Morning brief" pre-session, Eastern Time.

  • Your charts are too big for me

    This is the most frequent comment we receive. Consider the following:


    a) It's important to ask the question: why do we want to trade a given timeframe. If because that's where our edge is, fine. But if we want to trade a timeframe because that's what we think is the only thing we have money for, we're in trouble. We have to pick timeframe not based on our wishes, but on where our verified edge is.

    b) Ok, is there some good news?

    Yes, lots:

    - With us, you'll be trading with an edge. (Without an edge, there is no point in risking a single dollar on the markets.)

    - Now, most of our trades are intraday trades, the 240min timeframe still being six times less than a day.

    - Also, many of our 240min trade ideas can be adapted to even smaller timeframes by simply waiting for the next pullback on the lower timeframe (LTF) after the 240min trigger.

    - Also, many of our trade ideas are on currency futures. On relatively small accounts, they can be executed on forex, which allows more granular risk management.

    - Many of our trade ideas can also be executed on ETFs: say, GLD for a GC trade or TLT for bond futures.

    - Finally, on smaller accounts trades can be executed with micro contracts (MES, MGC etc.). While some will say "that way you can't make money", our answer is: but one will learn to fish, and that's worth all the money!

    It is clear our service allows the capital accumulation process to be implemented on any reasonably-sized account.

  • Miscellaneous notes

    - Make sure you read the Documentation, become familiar with our Market Scanner, and follow the markets every day to build intuition to make best use of this service.

    - We tend to scale back activities on the indexes leading up to FOMC releases, while being aware that the FOMC news release can often serve as a catalyst. We also stay out of intraday trades 10 minutes before and after of major news releases.

    - We're often wrong. After all, we work with probabilities, and this work is all about the future. The unknown. We judge our work not by how many times we're right or wrong, but - to paraphrase one of the best traders of all time - by 'how much we make when we're right and how much we lose when we're wrong'.

4pm update: the market has processed the news with no material change. Bullish setup on ES 240min remains. (RTY’s advance may serve as a hint for what’s to come on the large caps, we’ll see) GC practically unchanged (a fact that shows that GC ceased to act, this time too, like its traditional role as a ‘safe haven of last resort’). Caution next week: risk factors are expected in the coming weeks that we didn’t have during the easy days of summer.

10.30am update on a busy morning:

  • ES holding, no collapse

  • Bullish on major pairs

  • Agros moving

9am update: watch the open’s first 10 minutes to see how the market wants to process the overnight news. The setup is bearish, the question is: will buyers step in at lower prices. Quite possibly, we might end up with a range-bound day. DX: bearflag on 240min, bullflag on daily, waiting for clues. (Timeframe conflict on several major pairs, see 6S as an example below) GC: neutral, standing by.

The market has processed the news without much volatility. Most likely, today’s sessions in various asset classes will be “business as usual”. We’ll be watching for signs that we are wrong. Bullish setups on agros.
