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. Incredibly simple in concept. But very effective. Please review the prior article if you missed…
If you’re new to my newsletter, you could be forgiven for thinking that all I trade is an NQ opening range drive. I think in recent times we’ve covered that more than any other opening setup. Like here – https://yourtradingcoach.com/trading-process-and-strategy/pre-session-emotion-and-an-opening-drive/ Essentially it’s the first YTC Price Action Trader PB Setup following expansion from the open,…
I love the pre-session action from NQ on Tuesday… Dropping now to the 15 minute chart and viewing the action leading up to Tuesday’s open: I must admit – I do like traps in the market structure. I sent out the following post via social media, prior to the open on Tuesday. Because there was…
Let's start by viewing the market right as it opens: Readers of the YTC Price Action Trader have several principles they use for projecting the upcoming price swings and identifying areas of potential trade opportunity. BUT WAIT! There is something else that should be jumping out at you as relevant as well. Something that…
I do very much like a large Gap Open with a strong Opening Drive. But do you know what's better than a large Gap Open with a strong Opening Drive? How about a large Gap Open with Opening Drive failure and reversal to the opposite direction! We have discussed traps at (or just before)…
There is market opportunity available when "obvious" expectations turn out to be WRONG. You've no doubt experienced this. Those times when the market provides almost certain evidence that it IS going somewhere… but then it doesn't. I can promise you – if you sense these "obvious" expectations then you're not the only one. Others…
Market Open Traps are by far my favourite opening play right now. I've demonstrated these quite a bit over the last year or two. Sorry for the repetition – but they're just working so well lately. Not always for massive profits. The two shown today are definitely singles, rather than home runs. But they're…
Happy trading, Lance Beggs
Last Friday at 9:28am, just two minutes before the Regular Trading Hours (RTH) Open, the market suddenly jumped. That's right – it's a trap RIGHT BEFORE the regular session open. See here if you missed the prior articles: https://yourtradingcoach.com/trading-process-and-strategy/traps-just-before-rth-open/ https://yourtradingcoach.com/trading-process-and-strategy/traps-just-before-rth-open-2/ https://yourtradingcoach.com/trading-process-and-strategy/traps-just-before-rth-open-3/ https://yourtradingcoach.com/trading-process-and-strategy/traps-just-before-rth-open-4/ Here is the general idea, in both bullish and bearish form:…
