Oil emini futures are rocking! (And the Las Vegas Trader Expo)
There’s been a really interesting market dynamic lately… For the past couple of weeks the afternoons trading sessions have given us nice oscillating market activity. In other words, the mornings have been a little slow and choppy. To compensate for the temporary market environment, we’ve been more cautious when trading slow mornings.
We’re going to hold a special LIVE market class with insight from a few top emini traders! You’ll get a quick introduction to the MAP Trade Signal Software and get some live market insights from some Emini Academy traders.

Price Support Holding, but Traders Getting Bearish on S&P Emini
The longer-term outlook of the stock index futures markets have a few conflicting biases. Price structure is holding strong with support and buyers holding the S&P up above the 1240′s, but the COT Net Position indicator is showing us that the “smart” and ”dumb” money is getting short this market.
Nevertheless, this indecisiveness gives us nice intra-day trading volatility. And when there’s confusion and emotion running the markets, trade setups become very clear.
Although I don’t care where the market is headed a month or week from now, it’s still very insightful to understand what’s causing the nice swings in price.
We’ve also had many inquires about availability and cost for the Emini Academy’s MAP Trading Program. As you may already know, we don’t teach basic trading theory that you can find online for free. Our education is focused on teaching our students how to execute the MAP Trade Signal Software. If you have any questions about the price of the Emini Academy, feel free to call an Education Counselor at 800-788-1658.

Emini Trading Wrap up & Forecast (and how discipline can keep you sane)
I want to propose a question. What would you do if you you started the trading day like this:
- First trade – breakeven
- Second trade – loss
- Third trade – missed fill
Would you have the confidence to stay disciplined and not get scared out of a good trade?
What if the next trade came within a tick of your stop and made you sweat like jimbo at fat camp? Would you move your stop? Would you freak out and take profit early?
Or…
Would you keep your head on straight, leave your stop in place, and hold for your profit target?
If you’re new to trading this might seem like a no-brainer. But you don’t really know how you’ll react in a high-pressure trading situation until you’ve personally experienced it for yourself. And it’s not easy for humans to look at themselves objectively and make corrections to their beliefs and execution.
I’m not originally wired to be patient and disciplined, so I have to constantly work at it every day. And 99% of traders would probably agree with me that they need work in that department as well. If that’s you, I highly recommend reading “The Mental Game of Poker” by Jared Tendler. This guy’s taken a lot of the intangible psychological concepts that are applicable to trading and put them in practical steps.
That’s it for my rant. Here’s your videos:
