In this video, we will do a step by step walkthrough of the 4 major index markets, spending extra time on the Nasdaq futures (/NQ).
We had trade setups that triggered on the Nasdaq and Russell futures, both of which were fairly nice winners. The Nasdaq hit both its first and second targets, while the Russell hit its first target only.
With the S&P and the DOW futures, we did not have any triggers that met our Volatility Box Trade Plan rules. The S&P (/ES) breached our Volatility Box entry li

We had 38 stocks that hit our Live Scanner today between the hours of 6:30am – 10am PT (and stayed on for 3+ minutes).
We’ll break down the 38 trades, using a few different lenses:

With today’s stock VB results, we found the sweet spot to be the 5-15 minute zone, with all hours outside of 8-9am PT being positive.
After a higher level overview, we’ll take a look at 3 specific examples:
1. Deere (DE) – Conservative Long; Coming off an earni
Swing Trade in DDOG and Day Trades in S&P 500
We’ll discuss a swing trade setup in DataDog (DDOG), along with breaking down some of the day trades in the S&P 500 (along with one setup for tomorrow).
Starting off with DDOG, we have a pullback on the weekly time frame chart to our bullish Market Pulse line. In addition, we also have a bullish Edge Signal (oversold) confirmation signal on the daily time frame chart.
Here’s the trade parameters for the extensions discussed in the video, along with 4 potential targets depending on how long y

We’ll do a quick update to our TSLA Broken Wing Butterfly trade, along with discuss two futures trades in the Russell and DOW markets.
Starting off with the TSLA broken wing butterfly, we were looking for a pin near the $550 price point, and had built a 530/550/560 broken wing butterfly for $1.55. Today, that same butterfly is currently selling for ~$3.90.
To manage the trade, I’d be looking at a pullback here in TSLA, which would actually be healthy, and help erode some of the theta premium

Read MoreScalp Setup on S&P 500 Futures
By 7 AM PT, the Volatility Box allowed us to get a quick measure of ranking of volatility within the 4 major indices markets.
Today, that ranking was the following (in order from least to most volatile):
1. ES
2. NQ and YM
3. RTY
The S&P 500 was the least volatile market, still respecting our Scalper Volatility Box. Meanwhile, the DOW and Nasdaq had both broken outside of the scalping models, suggesting more volatility than its peer.
The Russell 2000 was the most volatile, having breached ou
Read MorePost-Election Volatility Trading
With the election being a close race, we had a good deal of uncertainty that translated into volatility for our 4 major index markets.
During the after hours activity as the election results were slowly trickling out, we saw the S&P, Nasdaq, DOW and Russell futures all moving wildly (with the NQ up 3.5%+ in after hours). This same volatility continued into the market place today.
As a result of this volatility, we had a variety of different trading opportunities set up, which we’ll discuss in
Read MorePullback Levels on S&P and Nasdaq
With today’s selling pressure, supported by high volume, we’ll take a look at potential pullback zones in the S&P 500 (SPY) and Nasdaq (QQQ).
Using Fibonacci, we see in the Nasdaq that we’ve hit the 1.618 extension, and are now pulling back. With the S&P, we have open gaps below us, which look like they are likely to be filled.
In case you’re interested, you can also replicate the same process that we use in tonight’s video on the DOW and Russell as well, for pullback zones.
