The following chart was sent to me by a trader who just completed his very first futures trade. It shows the MNQ (Micro E-mini NASDAQ) on a 3 minute timeframe, YTC Price Action Trader BOF Setup off the overnight low and prior day’s low support. A one part position (all-in-all-out). He took a small loss,…
Let me share some great email Q&A. Firstly because this question will be relevant to many of us. And secondly because if you have some other thoughts on this issue I’d love to hear them. Feel free to add comments below the blog post. QUESTION: Your job as a trader is not to watch every…
Let’s talk about Market Structure and Price Action study, commencing with a question I received on Thursday – Do you still do daily study of market structure? And my response, sent out via social media: A followup comment from the original questioner… “I’ve tried this in the past but not been able to stick with…
I thought I’d finished the “Long is Wrong” articles for now. But then I received an email from a reader of the YTC Newsletter that I absolutely LOVED. And I thought that maybe “Long is Wrong – 3” would be a good way to share some of that love! If you missed the prior articles,…

Here was my reply: Let’s step through the entry and early trade management decisions. The vertical axis is a little compressed on the 1 minute chart so we’ll do…
I love this comment from David on last week’s article – Long is Wrong 2. The key part is highlighted. I’m actually really excited to see someone recognise the importance of watching for failure scenarios. Opportunity exists at the places where large numbers of traders get something wrong. The times and places where obvious expectations…
Last week I shared what is quite possibly my favourite market open play – https://yourtradingcoach.com/trading-process-and-strategy/long-is-wrong/ It can occur as either a PB or BPB setup, providing opportunity as market participants are trapped and stopped out of an early session long.
