Trading the Monday open on a tough day

A tough opening for the US Markets .. profits flow later

Todays opening was pretty rough.  The market was actually rather predictable for the first few minutes but the volumes just died completely after the opening 15 minutes.  By then we had made some nice money on the micros and even more on the minis.  After that we were a little stuck on trades to find.  So we decided to show you how to assemble a position for a larger move.  More of an educational thing, and definitely not for beginners.  It was, in all honesty just a way of explaining how the market works.


The better approach when learning to trade?  Wait for the signals.  Just look at the chart below.  Patience pays off and over 150 points signalled on the YM as it exits the daily buffer zone.  Look at that meteoric rise, you just need patience.  Signals.  Profits.
