Hello, and good morning all,


Today will be a moving market day same as yesterday, there is a block of news in about 40 minutes that probably will shake a bit the market, the non-farm employment data, will probably come higher if it does will see an spark on CL due to higher jobs means higher consumption higher crude demand, higher production higher need of this commodity, if it comes lower we could see CL price to fall some ticks,

Well,

i Just finished my trading day, ended with 63+ ticks, it was a combination of CL and ES trading, i saw a strong interest in the long prices, i mean i saw buyers in the tape in both CL and ES but the clue came in from the ES where i saw a bunch of big orders being filled in the buy side, also in the crude there was buyers in the tape, my indicators where screaming to place pending buy positions, at the end the data was the spark since the numbers came in at 170k zone.

Hope you all have a great weekend!!!

JD

JD that was very fast Trade as News came out, you timed it Perfect and Not a second to late.
This Trade Happened in a mere 6 seconds from 86.47 up to 87.25 for total 78 ticks.
is this also about how long you observed?
or is my data wrong?
Great Trade, Congratulations

Hello,

As many of you may know i have tested about 4 systems to trade the Crude and the ES, and at the end after 2 years of losing money investing in systems that do not add up in any way to my goal that is be a full time trader making and sustain my family i have a winner and i have been fine tuning it in the last two months, so i have a WINNER! and that is a system that i will call JDNeeman Cycles Divergence Trading (CDT Trading for Short) what i have done is to merge in one system (is not new, surely someone else have done this before) the divergence, cycles and Round Numbers trading, why this three?? when you combine this three you have an incomparable edge in the market, when we understand that the market moves in cycles, waves, this cycles create divergences between price and the real intention of the market and you combine this with Round numbers that become levels that the market knows that has to respect or break, you can position yourself accordingly and suck tons of ticks from the market, i arrive to this after some time to real test some strategies that alone do not bring a long time success, i wanted to do this (although i did SIM trading) to know the real emotions that will happen to me, when i play with real money, and now i know exactly how to behave when i see signs of stress in my mind, i learned to be patient, to wait, to understand that the market moves in cycles, maybe i left a wave go but the cycle needs to be closed therefore there will be another chance to get in the wave and take it...

CDT Trading (Cycles Divergence Trading)


Starting today (I know is saturday ) i will ONLY use this strategy for my futures day trading, i will become and expert on it, and i will make my fortune using it.. (i hope this help others to achieve their financial goals too)


How does this CDT thing looks like??




Cycles


We all know the market as a living creature has cycles, it obeys the physical laws, "everything that goes up needs to come back down", "a valley needs its peaks", "UP and DOWN" "gravity law", "attraction law"

of course there is a complete course of cycle trading, and is not my intention to talk about it in deep, only to mention that cycles are the very basic, natural and core of market behaviour. when we use this and understand in which cycle we are at, looking at the greater time frame down to the short time frame you can use this to know where is going to close the cycle and which waves you can surf and which not.




Divergences

Well one of the most powerful sources of information and clues on where the market is headed comes from the correct usage of Divergences, this occur between the price and usually and indicator that control or chases the price when there is a difference between the price and your chosen indicator being this difference high, %, etc, a divergence is trigger.


Types of divergence.

i will resume this with an image.



Here is an actual image of a divergence.




Round Numbers


Big Round Numbers, Round Numbers, we all have heard of this, let me tell you that this single data have made me a lot of ticks, knowing where the market could possibly turn, break, slow, is just mind blowing.

we have the big Round Numbers: 00, 20, 50, 80
and the Mid Numbers: 10, 35, 65, 95


The combination of this three and a mechanical process will let me retire soon and live long and prosper

this combination gives an insight on how the market behaves. in PART 2 i will let clear my mechanical process i have came with and some tips.

Hope this helps.
(well it helps me) that is the most important thing!!.

Best Regards.

JD
