#ES_F Day Trading Prep Week 10.27 - 11.01Last Week : Last week Sunday Globex opened right at the upper Edge with a sell back to VAH. Going into the week being under the Edge and under 900 was our key to see moves back to Value, we saw pushes inside Value Monday RTH and Tuesday Pre Market which were bought up until we built more supply right around VAH which finally gave us a move into Value for the 70 - 50s and 40s targets. We did get enough Volume to make it all the way down to VAL and through towards the lower Edge but ran out of Supply right at the top of Previous Distribution Balance and were able to come back inside Value. We ended the week with another attempt out of VAH which ran out of buying and came back inside Value to take back the whole move which was done during Globex hours to close under the Mean right into the Intraday Range Edge of 41 - 36. This Week : Looking at this weeks chart and price location it's not as easy to read as there are lots of possibilities which could happen. We are going into Month end week, have quite a bit of market moving data, supply in Value and above, and covering at and under VAL. 30m , 2h, 4h are in correction mode, 1hr not quite there just yet if we are looking at the MAs. Daily TF also giving us first signs of correction starting but it's just the first steps which means it might not be ready yet for any bigger continuation lower and at the same time have the Supply in Value and above to possibly go down and fill the buying in around VAL and Under. Of course IF stronger volume comes in and we see strong acceptance under VAL and are able to push inside or through the lower Edge then that could bring in a bigger change for more downside into lower HTF Range/our Previous Distribution Balance low and lower Value so will be something to keep in mind and watch for. If we can't stay above 840s - 50s to stay over the Mean of this Value and stay in this 880 - 40 Intraday Range then we will look for pushes into VAL and under, at and under VAL we have to be careful as there could be enough buying/covering to keep us away from the Edge but at the same time not give us big bounces as we have seen before, instead we could distribute around this 840 - 800s area. After failing at the upper Edge with Supply above, lower Edge and even push under it could be a good target/move to see this week but I am just trying to stay away from getting too biased to not push for it but its something to keep in mind. For us to think higher prices from here again we would need to either hold above 840s and get back over 50 - 60s to stay in 880 - 40s Intraday Range and see pushes towards VAH or consolidate around VAL without accepting under and then push back over Value Mean. And if buying and selling on both sides of Value is still strong enough then we could continue holding and going back and forth between VAH/VAL. Overall looking at HTFs it seems like we are ready for a bigger back fill to finally happen in the market but it might take time to play out, if there will be interest I can post a Daily TF Chart which shows the range we broke out of is 5750s - 5400s, a back fill to break out area and IF we get back inside then move towards Mid/lows and under of that range can be in play but again that's HTF Outlook that can take a LONG time to fully play out not for intraday or shorter term swing trading.

4 of the Best Day Trading Strategies4 of the Best Day Trading Strategies Day trading is one of the most challenging approaches as it requires traders to make decisions quickly. Therefore, many traders like using established trading strategies. Explore the intricacies of day trading strategies in this article. For those keen on hands-on experience, consider using FXOpen's free TickTrader platform to follow along and enhance your trading insights. 1. Bollinger Bands & RSI Strategy Bollinger Bands and the Relative Strength Index (RSI) are potent tools that, when combined, can offer one of the best strategies for day trading, capitalising on both volatility and momentum. Entry/Exit Criteria Entries Buy Entry: - Price touches or exceeds the lower Bollinger Band. - RSI dips below 30 (indicating oversold conditions). Sell Entry: - Price touches or exceeds the upper Bollinger Band. - RSI rises above 70 (indicating overbought conditions). Stop Losses Buy Trades: - Slightly below the low point where the price touched the lower Bollinger Band. Sell Trades: - Slightly above the high point where the price touched the upper Bollinger Band. Take Profits Buy Trades: - Price touches the middle Bollinger Band line or - RSI rises towards 50-60, indicating diminishing bearish momentum. Sell Trades: - Price touches the middle Bollinger Band line or - RSI drops towards 40-50, showing fading bullish momentum. How/Why the Strategy Works Bollinger Bands measure an asset's volatility. The outer bands expand during high volatility and contract during low volatility. The asset prices tend to revert to the mean, so a touch or breach of an outer band often indicates a short-term price extreme. On the other hand, the RSI measures the magnitude and persistence of price movements. Values below 30 or above 70 denote oversold or overbought conditions, respectively. By combining these tools, traders get a two-fold verification system. The Bollinger Bands hint at price extremes through volatility, while the RSI confirms it through momentum. This dual filter helps in improving the strategy's reliability, capturing reversals with a higher degree of accuracy. 2. Moving Average Crossover with MACD Confirmation Combining the simplicity of Moving Averages (MA) with the insights from the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD), this is one of the day trading strategies. When the two MAs crossover, it indicates a potential change in trend. The MACD serves as a filter to ensure the trend has momentum and is not a false signal. It’s a good idea to set the MACD’s fast and slow lengths to the same as your Fast and Slow MAs. Entry/Exit Criteria Entries Bullish Entry: - Fast MA (e.g., 20-period, blue in chart) crosses above the Slow MA (e.g., 50-period, red in chart). - MACD line moves above the signal line. Bearish Entry: - Fast MA crosses below the Slow MA. - MACD line moves below the signal line. Stop Losses Stop Loss for Bullish Entry: - Slightly below the Slow MA at the point where the Fast MA crossed above the Slow MA. Stop Loss for Bearish Entry: - Slightly above the Slow MA at the point where the Fast MA crossed below the Slow MA. Take Profits Bullish Trades: - Fast MA crosses below the Slow MA or - MACD line descends below the signal line. Bearish Trades: - Fast MA crosses above the Slow MA or - MACD line ascends above the signal line. Why/How the Strategy Works Moving Average crossovers indicate trend shifts. If the fast MA surpasses the slow MA, it implies rising momentum; if it drops below, it indicates a potential decline. However, these signals can be misleading. The MACD, reflecting the relationship between two MAs, validates momentum. A MACD line crossing its signal line confirms the MA's direction. 3. Fibonacci Retracement with Stochastic Oscillator Marrying the predictive power of Fibonacci retracements with the momentum sensitivity of the Stochastic oscillator, this strategy aims to identify potential reversals within major trends. Fibonacci retracements are horizontal lines that indicate potential support and resistance levels, while the Stochastic oscillator measures the speed and change of price movements. Entry/Exit Criteria Entries Bullish Reversal: - Price retraces to a significant Fibonacci level (commonly 38.2%, 50%, or 61.8%). - The Stochastic oscillator goes below 20 (oversold territory) and then crosses back above, indicating gaining bullish momentum. Bearish Reversal: - Price retraces to a major Fibonacci level. - The Stochastic oscillator exceeds 80 (overbought territory) and then crosses back below, signalling growing bearish momentum. Stop Losses Stop Loss for Bullish Reversal: - Slightly below the Fibonacci level where the entry was made. Stop Loss for Bearish Reversal: - Slightly above the Fibonacci level where the entry occurred. Take Profits Exit for Bullish Trades: - Price reaches the next Fibonacci resistance level or - The Stochastic oscillator surpasses 80. Exit for Bearish Trades: - Price hits the next Fibonacci support level or - The Stochastic oscillator drops below 20. Why/How the Strategy Works Fibonacci retracement levels are grounded in the belief that markets often retrace a predictable portion of a move. When prices pull back to these levels, they often find support or resistance, creating potential trading opportunities. However, solely relying on Fibonacci can lead to false signals. To mitigate this, the Stochastic oscillator is employed. By determining if an asset is overbought or oversold relative to its recent price action, the oscillator adds a layer of momentum-based confirmation. 4. VWAP and Moving Average Confluence The Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP) is a trading benchmark used by traders to determine the average price an asset has traded throughout the day based on both volume and price. When combined with a simple moving average (SMA), traders can pinpoint high-probability trade entries based on confluence and deviations. It’s one of the preferred day trading stock strategies. Entry/Exit Criteria Entries Bullish Entry: - Price is above both the VWAP (blue in chart) and the chosen SMA (e.g., 20-period, red in chart). - A pullback occurs, where the price tests the SMA without closing below it. Bearish Entry: - The Price is below both the VWAP and the chosen SMA. - A pullback occurs, where the price tests the SMA without closing above it. Stop Losses Stop Loss for Bullish Entry: - Slightly below the entry point. Stop Loss for Bearish Entry: -Just above the entry point. Take Profits Exit for Bullish Trades: - Price crosses below the VWAP or SMA. - A predetermined risk-reward ratio is reached. Exit for Bearish Trades: - Price crosses above the VWAP or SMA. - A predetermined risk-reward ratio is achieved. Why/How the Strategy Works The VWAP adjusts the day's price action for volume, indicating an average price. If the price is above the VWAP, it's seen as bullish, and the opposite for bearish. Paired with the SMA, it reinforces trend identification. When both align and serve as support/resistance, they signal market sentiment. By waiting for the price to respect both the VWAP and SMA during pullbacks, traders can achieve a higher probability of successful trade outcomes.
