Day Trading Nasdaq, DOW and Russell Volatility
The “First Hour Test” with our Futures Volatility Box typically gives us clues around what to expect for the day, especially with regards to volatility.
Using today as an example, the S&P 500 (/ES) broke outside of our Volatility Box clouds, while the DOW (/YM), Nasdaq (/NQ) and Russell (/RTY) were all contained. This was our first clue, to expect volatility in the other 3 indices to start to increase as the day progressed.
While we did not have any trade opportunities in the S&P, we did have
Read MoreStimulus Update Volatility – Futures & Stock Trade Setups
In today’s video we’re going to talk about the volatility we saw in the markets, as a result of Trump’s tweets, stating that stimulus negotiations were going to be pushed till post-election.
This was something the market did not expect, and we saw that reflected in the price action. Across the board, the S&P 500, Nasdaq, DOW, Russell, 30-YR Bond, Energies, you name it — almost all major markets saw a volatile reaction to this news.
This ended up becoming our catalyst for both futures and stoc
Read MoreS&P 500 (/ES) – Buy the Dip Futures Setup
We had several “Buy the Dip” setup opportunities in our futures markets, towards the final few hours of the close.
Our first setup which we’ll discuss in today’s video was in the /ES (S&P 500) futures. We had an opportunity to buy the dip, and go long the /ES futures markets. This trade was good for 10.25 points in the /ES futures, which resulted in a gain of $512.50/contract.
Our second setup was in the RTY futures (Russell 2K), which was similar, but fell short of our target by 0.4 ticks. Ul

We’ll walk through a “picture perfect” setup in the Russell Futures (RTY), which set up today in the 9-10am PT hour.
During the middle of the east coast lunch time, we had the Russell hit our dashboard, when price action reached our Volatility Box entry lines. This gave us an opportunity to get short, once we had the Edge Signal confirmation.
In today’s case, we had several different components which supported the short:
1. We had multiple Edge Signal confirmations (our oversold / overbought c
SPY Bullish Reversal Trade Results (100%+ Winner)
We set up a game plan for trades in SPY, along with the futures and stock markets via our Volatility Box in yesterday’s video. Today, we’ll take a look at the results to see what happened.
We expected for the markets to open down lower, and then start to trend bullishly for the rest of the day. This was based off of our backtesting of the Cumulative TICK data, that we did in our pro version of the tutorial (free for Volatility Box members, available here: https://www.tosindicators.com/indicato
Read MoreCumulative TICK and Volatility Ranges – Day Trading /ES Futures
We had both trend and fade opportunities that set up in the S&P 500 futures (/ES), for high probability trades.
With the morning gap down lower, we had the TICKs consistently signaling selling action. This was easy to see via the Cumulative TICK indicator, with the pro version signaling that we should expect to see a likely trending down move.
Shortly after the notification at 7:00am PT, we had a pullback to our Market Pulse line, giving us a better place to start building a position with ETF
Read MoreTrading Futures in the Final Hour
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).
In today’s video, we’re going to use the Cumulative TICK Pro indicator, alongside our updated Volatility Box models to take a look at price action in the indices.
Across the board in the ES, YM, and NQ, we had breaches of our Volatility Box in the 10-11AM PT hour that hit our Volatility Box zones, almost to perfection.
Read MoreSell Off in the Markets – Trigger Zones to Monitor
We had a relatively sharp sell off in the markets today, with many markets breaking outside of even our most conservative volatility models in the 7-8am PT and the subsequent hour.
We had all of our major indices markets break outside of our Doomsday Conservative Volatility Box clouds (ES, YM, NQ, and RTY), along with markets such as the 30-YR Bond, Gold, and Silver (ZB, GC, and SI). While that led to a challenging day in day trading the futures, it’s important to also take a step back and asse

We had the Nasdaq futures break outside of our Doomsday Conservative (our most conservative) volatility models within the first 30 minute after market open. With that same downfall, we had a group of tech stocks all hit our Stock Volatility Box Live Scanner, giving us plenty of opportunities to look for fade trade setups.
In today’s video, we’ll discuss both stock and futures trades, along with ways to overlap the Stock and Futures Volatility Boxes to work in congruence. With Nasdaq breaking ou
