Live Futures Trading Update for Tuesday, June 29th

As you probably already know from our market forecast video for today, we were anticipating some downside action on the longer-term charts. At the close of the regular e-mini trading session yesterday, we were poised for a breakout, and most technical indicators were pointing down. So when we opened up our live trading room this morning, we weren’t surprised to see a very high probability continuation short trade.

The market had some nice oscillations during our live trading session this morning, and I wanted to do a quick live market update video for you today to show you the potential of the MAP Trading Strategy. Overall, we had 7 setups, 5 winners, and 2 losses for a net profit potential of over 8 points. This is only possible because of our extremely solid risk management plan.

Some Analysis of Chris Dunn’s Live Cash Emini SP500 Trades

I’ve had quite a few of you guys ask to see some of my actual SP500 e-mini trades from the MAP Trading Strategy. I’ve done quite a few live trading videos, but I thought it would be good to examine some real trade examples. As a follow up to my other post talking about my personal trading style, which is now working in some scaling strategies, here are a few trades taken over the past couple days.

First, I want to give you an idea at some statistics. My average win ratio right now is around 77%. My short trades seem to be slightly higher at around 80%, where the long trades are closer to 75%. As far as the risk to reward goes, many of you know that I only risk 1.25 points ($62.50) on the ES. I’m making about 2.78 points for every 1 point lost.

Live Cash Trade Number One
Here’s my one and only trade from today (Tuesday, June 22nd). This morning we had a live trading class, but didn’t get many conservative set ups. I’m not going to try and guess why the market wasn’t cooperating this morning. All I know to be true is that we get 4-6 setups on average in the morning session every day. This particular setup is known as our “breakthrough trade”. It’s a very high probability trade that usually works out to be profitable very quickly. I usually don’t scale into this trade, but saw an opportunity to get a higher probability entry. After the second short arrow, the market retraced back agasinst me a little bit, which turned the trade into what we call a “continuation trade”. This is on average our most profitable setup. And when I got an entry pattern with price action, I layered a 3rd position on the table.

The trade management on this trade was a breeze! I had two dynamic profit targets that were based on the current movement of the market, not automated profit targets like some traders like to use. When we hit the first target, I decided to close 1/3rd of the position. The market was showing strength down, so I was pretty confident that we’d hit our “main” target at 1107.00. Once we hit my second target, I looked for price action on our short-term 233 tick chart and got out right away.

Live Cash Trade Number Two
This was my second trade of the day from yesterday (June 21st). Another high probability BT with CT criteria, this one came within a tick of my stop before moving to my first profit target. Based on my multiple time frame analysis, I saw weakness at the first target so I decided to just close the whole position. Also, I was getting ready to start our MAP Mastery Class, so I needed to get ready for that. I won’t be able to buy a Ferrari with that trade, but it was profitable nonetheless.

Live Cash Trade Number Three
This last trade was another one that allowed me to scale in via higher probability scenarios. We had some clearly defined targets, but what’s really nice is how the market allowed me to add to my position with a higher price, then a super-high probability pivot area. This trade initially developed as a BT, gave me an opportunity to load up, then close 1/2 at target 1. Then I added to the position with a valid CT #1 entry, closed 1/2 at the first target. Looking back, I definitely pulled my stop in a little tight on the last 1/2 of my contracts. It’s funny, every time I make a “Money” or “emotional” based decision, the market punishes me for it!

Hopefully this shows you that I’m NOT perfect and still make mistakes. The difference between succesful traders and losing traders is that successful traders have a strong ability to:

#1- Not take losses personally
#2- Laugh at and recover from mistakes
#3- Have the confidence in your own ability to execute without hesitation

Live Market Update – Futures Trading Strategies

So far this morning we’ve had 3 trades, 2 winners, and 1 small loss. Net profit potential = 4.75 points per contract.

Based on our analysis from yesterday’s market forecast video, we were looking at the 1,100 area as a key price point. Our most profitable trade of the morning popped right around that area for a minimum 3 point profit. If you don’t already know, we use a maximum stop loss of 1.25 points and go for an average winner of 3 points. We also look to win more than we lose. This gives us what we call a positive expectancy trading strategy.

Live Emini Trading Video – 7 trades, +12.75 points

This market has been delivering some awesome movement for our setups with this increased volatility… After the announcement that Spain was getting downgraded today, I popped up my recorder to jump in a quick short for a nice 3.5 point profit on the ES. Overall we had 7 trades before 12PM central time… 71% winners for a gross profit potential of around 12.75 points! Do we get double digit profits every day? Of course not, but in market environments like these, we really need to push it!

04/20/10 Mid-day Money Play

So today we got a nice bounce off of a confluence area of price support on the e-smini S&P 500. There was a nice head and shoulders price pattern that lined up on the 5 minute chart. We were able to capitalize on a nice long trade on the ES for about a 5 point profit. Some conservative traders could have taken profit a little sooner, but a great trade either way.

The Best Way To Minimize Risk & Maximize Reward

I get a lot of questions regarding trade management… it’s a part of trading that is widely misunderstood. But I’m going to give you one super-ninja technique that will increase your profitability literally over-night!

This trick is what I call “trading on the edge”. Basically, get in on the pivot or “edge” of a move. This will decrease the size of your stop and increase the potential reward you have.

Check out this video where I show how to manage risk… and reward. All MAP Traders never risk more than 1.25 points ($62.50) on the S&P 500 emini, and we see an average win of about 3 points ($150). So, if we’re winning more than we’re losing, and our winners are bigger than our losers, do you think we’re consistently profitable? You bet!

How To Beat The Odds By Using “Momentum”

What if you never had to second-guess yourself again? What if you always knew if you were looking for longs or shorts? Unfortunately, a lot of traders leave a lot to chance… the MAP Trading Strategy takes all of the guess-work out of trading! Check out this trading video to learn how to understand “Momentum” and “direction” in the market.
