Emini Day Trading - Futures Day Trading

Emini day trading, currently of the emini russell, and euro currency day trading WITH a focus on teaching-learning the trading method concepts for price action-price failure, the related base method trade setups, along with the interrelationship and impact of trading psychology. 

Tactical Trading is a combination of a trading chatroom, a member training website, online trading training sessions, and trading seminars. The Tactical Trading chat room combines text, voice, and 'real time' application sharing where I can show my trading charts that are being traded and discussed.  I also highly recommend that other traders, especially those who are paper trading, also post their own trades in order that I can try to provide additional feedback and help with learning the trading method, and making the transition to real money trading.

Tactical Trading Objectives

I started Tactical Trading in November 1997, actually at the request of four other people that I had met through a trading group who hadn't 'caught on' yet as well as I had.  I really didn't intend to continue for this many years, but I found that I really enjoyed the teaching aspect and working with others who wanted to trade - I think that I would have been very happy as a college professor.  The group has never become very large, we typically have around 30 members at a given time.  This has appeared to be a combination of two factors:  to begin with, I like the smaller group and have done very little to increase the size, but regardless, my attitude towards being a 'trader' really isn't what I have found most people want to hear.  I don't have a 'piggy backing' signal service to 'make you rich', and I don't have a 'quick fix trading cookbook' that will allow anyone that reads it to immediately become a profitable trader.

I approach trading from the realization that the vast majority of 'traders' are going to lose, and if you are going to ever become profitable, you will have to 'act' differently from that group.  I won't say that they don't exist, but if all those 'signal services', 'trading cookbooks', and 'trading systems' were really as purported - wouldn't that losing percentage be far lower?  From my experiences in trading, and working with other traders, the primary differences are going to largely be related to the approach taken to learning to trade, along with reasonable expectations regarding the amount of work and time that is going to be necessary.  Like I said, this isn't the kind of thing that most people want to hear, that things take time and hard work AND even with it, there are no guarantees of success - they want 'hype' and 'promises', and to be assured that if they join, they will be profitable in a couple of months - it's not going to happen.

My objectives for Tactical Trading are to teach a price continuation-momentum expansion based day trading method; this is in contrast to a method that attempts to buy-sell market extremes and/or price momentum divergences.  As this is a day trading method, trading is done not as a 'fixed system', but through the development of base method trading setups, which are traded  in the context of market conditions and key price specifics, what I refer to as trading from the left side to the right side using repeatable trading discretion.

Tactical Trader Day Trading Journal

The Tactical Trader Day Trading Journal was developed to be a daily teaching lesson where I can discuss some charts-trades from the day, in order to point out various trading setups and/or trading issues-problems that I am aware.  I also like to use this to specifically answer questions that someone may ask, where it is more effective to try to answer with a chart-discussion, than it would be to try to answer by text only.   

To make this most effective, it is recommended that the charts-questions first be read-answered AND then go to the discussion page to study what has been written, along with comparing this to your own answers - don’t simply go to the discussion page and read what has been written.

Day Trading Journal Objectives

Understanding the day trading method, and especially how the trading method setups are related to the strengths and weaknesses of the base method.

Understanding that discretion is inherent in a trading method BUT that this discretion can be repeatable -vs- non-random discretion coming from things like market bias or market opinion OR trying to indicator trade as a trading system.

Understanding how to use indicator information as part of the trading setup -vs- being an indicator only trader.

Understand mixed method [the trading method which will be entering at the same approximated time BUT in the opposite direction] AND the implications of these 'other' methods on our trading.

Discussion of trading charts-setups, explaining why a setup is method base and comparing to similar setups that 'shouldn't' be traded - setups that could be regard as trading setup misreads.

Discussion of opening emini russell trades and trading setup scenarios using previous price action prices.

Discussion of trading setups related to method strengths and weaknesses AND in relation to market conditions such as directional-counter or continuation-congestion.

Discussion of directional strength and maximizing the profits of these trading swings with addon trading.
