Otherwise, subscribe to the email updates and receive them in your inbox.


Magic Ingredient:
If there is any one thing that has added more to my success than anything else, it is understanding how important it is to time the market with your trades. The key to my strategy is to time the markets GREEN and RED zones with the GREEN and RED zones from the setups. If they are both entering their same colored zones at around the same time then the probability of the setup working out is highest. Otherwise, market needs to be trending upwards to take entry of setups in the GREEN zones or market needs to be trending downwards to take entry of setups in the RED zones.
SHADED GREEN ZONES = Strong Buy Zones
SHADED RED ZONES = Strong Sell Zones

Markets Overview (The Big Picture):
Take note of the GREEN demand zones and RED supply zones mapped out below. These are the areas of interest for me because this is where there is a great deal of demand to fill buy orders and supply to fill sell orders from the institutions. 

NASDAQ -> hit  daily supply  = BEARISH
S&P -> hit daily demand but RSI is weak = BEARISH
DOW JONES ->  hit daily demand but RSI is weak = BEARISH
RUSSEL -> hit daily demand but RSI is weak = BEARISH

Markets Overview (30 Min Chart)--> Supply & Demand outlined below.

$USD Overview (Daily Chart)
--> $USD hit supply and is now showing RSI weakness, change in trends on the currency pairs about to happen?

Currencies:

The Million Dollar Strategy:

Chart Setup --> Chart has an 89 period EMA and an 8 period EMA, RSI indicator of 60 overbought and 40 oversold.
Buying or Selling when price enters a 240 minute area of demand/supply outlined by the green zone/red zone. First target will be opposing 240 min supply zone/demand zone and or once price crosses the 89 EMA then a close below/above the 8 EMA will be the
sign to take profit or close the trade.

$USDCAD --> The Canadian Dollar just hit weekly demand and headed up and is about to hit weekly supply which is where I am looking to short the pair.
THE SETUP: Will wait for a retrace into 240 supply thats within weekly supply to short.
AUG 8
$AUDUSD --> The Australian Dollar hit some daily demand and is heading up.  
THE SETUP: Bought the drop into the 240 demand zone.

Stocks & Options:
The Trinity Trading Strategy:
The Trinity Trading Strategy is the strategy all the others are based on.
Chart Setup --> 30 Minute chart has an 89 period EMA, a 45 period EMA and an 8 period EMA, RSI indicator of 60 overbought and 40 oversold.
The Trinity Trading Strategy

Buying or Selling when price enters a 30 minute area of demand/supply outlined by the green zone/red zone. First target will be opposing 30 min supply zone/demand zone and or once the 8 EMA crosses the 89 EMA and after the 45 EMA crosses the 89 EMA, then a close below/above the 8 EMA will be the sign to take profit or close the trade. If price action is strong, then I will add to position when price touches the 45 EMA. Finally, the position will be closed when the 8 EMA crosses the 45 EMA.


The 89 Bounce Strategy:
Chart Setup --> 30 Minute chart has an 89 period EMA, a 45 period EMA and an 8 period EMA, RSI indicator of 60 overbought and 40 oversold.
The 89 Bounce Strategy
Buying or Selling when price hits the 89 EMA and/or enters a 30 minute demand/supply outlined by the green zone/red zone. Then you must wait until the distance between the 8 EMA and 45 EMA is the same or larger than the 45 EMA and 89 EMA. Wait for close below the 8 EMA to take partial profits. The close trade when the 8 EMA crossed over the 45 EMA.


The Slingshot Strategy:
Chart Setup --> 30 Minute chart has an 89 period EMA, a 45 period EMA and an 8 period EMA, RSI indicator of 60 overbought and 40 oversold.

Buying or Selling when price hits a 30 minute supply/demand outlined by the red zone/green zone. Then you must wait until the distance between the 8 EMA and 45 EMA is the same or larger than the 45 EMA and 89 EMA. Wait for close below the 8 EMA to take partial profits. The close trade when the 8 EMA crossed over the 45 EMA.

In all strategies, exit for a loss if price breaks through the zone position is opened on.

How do I activate a trade?
Slingshot Strategy Entry
5 Min RSI confirmation
A trade is activated like so, if the Demand or Supply zone is a larger zone such as a daily zone then the following Slingshot Strategy setup example is how I activate a trade. Price drops into a daily supply zone, now a daily demand zone, if RSI on daily is below 40 then I wait for 30 min chart RSI to be around 40 or above on a dip and get into position on that dip, if daily RSI is 40 or above, then I wait for 5 min RSI confirmation. Take a look at the chart for more details.

***Wednesday, Thursday & Friday Review*** $SPY $QQQ $IWM $DIA + Crazy week in the markets! ***PORTFOLIO --> $AUDUSD ***WATCH -->

General Notes:
I'll be staying out of the equities markets for the most part until the markets calm down a bit more. August is supposed to be the worst month for trading so I'll be sitting on the sidelines until a good opportunity to get back in. Until then I still believe the markets will pull back some more.

Wednesday August 6th Review:
Good Canadian numbers thrusts $USDCAD downwards.


Thursday August 7th Review:
Euro, USD, GBP and CAD news all out today.


Friday August 8th Review:
Bad employment figures came out for the Canadian dollar.

The Magic Trading Portfolio's Position Sizing:
Futures --> 1 contract (at most)
