Trading Futures in the Final Hour

September 16, 2020

The final hour of the markets today gave us multiple opportunities to buy the dip, and catch some quick reversals in the indices.

We had a breach in the S&P 500 (/ES), Nasdaq (/NQ), DOW (/YM) and the Russell 2000 (/RTY). All 4 of these breaches respected our Volatility Box models, and gave some incredible reversal opportunities.

In addition to the indices, we also had breaches in Natural Gas (/NG), which was successful, along with Gold (/GC). The only market in which we went outside of our vo

Over the weekend, we released our 21st episode of the “How to thinkScript” series, which includes both a free and pro version (which is available for Volatility Box members).

Via our Futures VB levels, we had a total of 7 trades, with a net P/L of +$1,410,

Using Volatility Clues to Day Trade Futures

August 4, 2020

We had our early morning volatility test give us some clues as to what to “expect” for the rest of the day.

Using our Volatility Box models, we had the 30-YR Bond (/ZB) signal to us that we should be using the Doomsday Aggressive models, while our indices all signaled that we could continue to scalp via the Scalper Volatility Box.

That was a clue – with the bonds giving us an early heads up to expect some sort of volatility in the broader markets (which we saw, in the 11-12 PM PT hour in the

Fades in the YM, RTY and NG Futures

June 30, 2020

We had three markets in which we had Volatility Box breaches today – the DOW, Natural Gas and Russell futures markets.

In the morning, we sent out a note to all of our members with a list of all 9 futures markets we look at, along with the Volatility Box models we were using for the day. These models are selected based on the First Hour test, and we let price action dictate to us if and when we should switch.

We had a total of four trades that set up today:
1. A long fade in Natural Gas (win
