What I Am Thankful For...

As many of you know I make a habit out of being "Thankful" and nothing changes on Thanksgiving. I am so thankful first and foremost for God and all the blessings that he has bestowed up on me. Without God I would be nothing. I am thankful for my wife who is my life partner and best friend. She makes every day beautiful, even the tough days. I am thankful for our three incredible children who are a delight and joy and light in my life. It is not always easy having three so close in age (sometimes complete chaos in our house) but it is always worth it! I am thankful for my 19 year old and all the magnificent times that we have shared. I am thankful for my father who is no longer with us but who taught me many things and who inspired my interest in psychology and I am thankful for my mother who has always stood by me and who taught me from an early age what it means to have integrity and to love people. To all of my close friends and confidants who make me a better person I am eternally thankful.

I am thankful for all of my subscribers and blog readers and each and every one of you who I have met and become friends with through this medium we call Twitter and StockTwits. It has truly been a rewarding experience and I am so thankful and grateful to know you all.

Have a very Happy Thanksgiving and wishing much Peace and Prosperity to you and your family!

All the best,

TraderSmarts

How to use the TraderSmarts Numbers in tandem with your own areas of support & resistance.

It may surprise some to know that I have subscribers who use the TraderSmarts Numbers strictly for confirmation. These subscribers get their own support / resistance areas everyday. I encourage this! So why would you want to use the TraderSmarts Numbers if you get your own areas?

Well for one thing the TraderSmarts Numbers are extremely accurate! It is not uncommon for a TraderSmarts Number to be the high or low to the tick, or within a few ticks, of an intraday rotation, or of the actual high / low of the day. So what is the best way to use the TraderSmarts Numbers in tandem with your own numbers? The following is one way I recommend:

1. Without looking at the TraderSmarts Numbers you get your own areas for support / resistance for the next trading session (part of your nightly homework).

2. After you get your own areas you go through the TraderSmarts Numbers and compare with the areas you came up with. If a TraderSmarts Number lines up with your own area you put an asterisk next to your own number or designate it in some way. You give this area added significance for the following session. If it lines up with a "Highest Odds Short FTU or Highest Odds Long FTD" or an area I talk about in the contract notes you give it even more of an added significance.

3. The next step is key and there are two ways to do it depending on where you are at with your own areas:


A) If you are extremely confident in your own areas you ignore all the TradersSmarts Numbers during the following session that don't line up with your own. Don't even look at them don't know them. Don't confuse yourself.

or

B) If you are just starting to create your own areas or not so confident in them then you include the TraderSmarts Numbers that don't line up with your own areas as "areas to pay attention to" for the following session as well.

4. Then after the day is over you go through the charts and see how price reacted at your areas and at the TraderSmarts Numbers. This is only for review. If price reacted at a TraderSmarts Number that you didn't have see if you can see something that you didn't see before as to why that area would be significant.


Doing this will help you learn to create your own areas of support / resistance. If you already create your own areas of Support / Resistance then using the TraderSmarts Numbers in conjunction with your own areas will provide added confirmation prior to the next trading session of significant areas that you need to be paying attention to.

This confirmation and confluence alone can be an invaluable asset to your trading and is the reason I have subscribers who use the TraderSmarts Numbers strictly for this purpose!

Trade smart and trade well!

Some thoughts on the Intraday Alerts

Just sent this to someone who inquired about the Intraday Alerts and thought it would make a good blog post. A lot of people struggle with patience and consistency - this details some of my thoughts on the alerts...

My philosophy for this service can be summed up as trade less, make more. Today I only gave an alert on 1 trade which was short ZB. It was the best thing setting up. We only took 1 tick of heat after entry (initial risk was - 8 ticks and holding)...though we did have to wait awhile for final target to be hit! I left by about 11 AM PST with the remarks that we may have to wait until Europe tonight to get better/bigger setups. There was just not a lot setting up. There was lots of trades that you could have taken in the middle but I want to be alerting what I think are the "highest odds" trades.

A lot of people want to try to capture every tick but all you need is 1 - 2 highest odds trades a day to become consistently profitable. In this business, for the most part, you increase your earnings by hiring more employees (increasing your size) not by taking more trades. Usually taking more trades leads to a decrease in profitability. Of course I will alert things like aggressive traders consider short here, stop here, conservative traders consider short here, stop here, etc. but if what you really want is action - head to Vegas. If you want profitability need to be disciplined.
