Zone trading - delivering profits and avoiding losses

Mark Sear • Mar 24, 2021

Daily buffer zones deliver profits both long and short.  The trend zone prevents any losses.  Again.

As you can see from the image below we end the first hour of day $156.75 up and thats from trading micros.  We got into this trade too early with our initial entry, but ended up nicely profitable as we toon on board another 3 micro contracts as we dived deep into our buffer zone.  This is an advanced trade but came off the back of three much simpler trades.  Sticking to the trend trading after this enabled most traders to bank another 60+ NQ or MNQ points at least.   Quite a day ......

Here, below is the end of the last trade.  This was a 4 micro trade - we scaled in to the trade and we scaled out.  This took our profits in an hour of MICRO trading to $156.75.  That is LIVE trading, not some sort of fake trading as used by others.  Not a bad day overall.  It was a day when losing money would have been easy.  But the Inteligex Zones delivered. 4 trades.  4 profits.  Not even a chance of a loss all day if the very simple rules are followed.
