The Fine Tuning Tool SPIKE LOOK CHART Fine Tune your way to consistently profitable trading
Start thinking like a professional trader • Imagine being able to add the following attributes to all your trading decisions through the use of one trading tool. • Patience • Better timing • Bigger profits • Smaller Losses • Higher percentage of winners • Trade with less a lot less stress
What is the Fine Tuning Tool and how can it be used to improve to improve trading results Lets begin by recognizing one of the facts of life about trading - it is counter intuitive Often times successful trading requires that we sell as prices are rising and buy when prices are falling. This counter intuitive process is one of the most difficult concepts traders must master. • How does a trader determine the right place to buy when prices are falling • or sell when prices are rising? • The answer is two fold: • By looking across your spectrum of charts for multiple clues • By recognizing good risk/reward opportunity
A little history • I developed the Spike Look/ Fine Tuning tool in an effort to correct my worst trading mistake which was TRYING TO GET ON BOARD BREAKOUTS
Every time I tried to buy a spike move to the upside or sell one to the downside it proved to be a losing trade. The loses were so consistent I decided that if I could somehow reverse engineer my worst trading mistake I would have a system that produced consistent profits. At that time I was trading futures which often produce quick spikes in both directions. I decided I need a visual quick reference chart that told me to do the opposite of what I had been doing. A chart that would tell me when to: Sell spikes to the upside ! Buy spikes to the downside !
So now let me introduce you to The Spike Look Chart/ Fine Tuning Tool and the components that make this such a versatile an valuable trading tool • Outer Bollinger Bands Red & Green • Inner Bollinger Bands – Dashed White • 34 EMA – Thick Magenta • Super Fast 4 EMA – Thick Teal • Ultra Fast 1 EMA – Thick White
Bollinger Bands 2 Std Deviations Bollinger Bands 4 Std Deviations Super Fast 4 EMA Ultra Fast 1 EMA 34 EMA
Fine Tuning a very nice HVMM Trade by taking a profit at 1X just before a sharp move back up.
The 1 EMA outraces the 4 EMA producing separation that warns of an imminent snap back to the upside in the direction of the main trend.
Extreme separation of the 1 EMA over the 4 EMA is the final panic spike that results in a sharp 40 pip drop in the next few minutes
The lagging 4 EMA and separation reveals that this candle will most likely turn into a pivot candle and the exhaustion point of the move up.
The Spike Look/Fine Tuning Tool has many nuances. As with any tool you become more proficient with it over time. After using it for about 5 years now it has become an indispensable part of my trading. It has been pivotal in helping me achieve the one goal every trader is striving for – Consistent Profitability If you are a Tradestation user and would like a copy of the Spike Look/ Fine Tuning Tool send me an email at Russell@netpicks.com and I will send you a TS workspace.
