Universal Market Trader Trading Blog

I’ll let one of our current UMT Owner’s sum it up:

“WOW !!!   What a day it was…unreal!  Incredible!”  Jurg R.

We’d have to agree.  Certainly the type of volatility and range we saw today is not an everyday experience.  It is a very special day when this happens but the UMT strategy just loves trading days like this.  Just knowing that on occassion there are days like today waiting out there is enough motivation to trade through even some of the quiet, low range days.  Some other comments from Owner’s today:

“Trading the 987 tick on ER2. Just hit target on a monster crossover trade. Setup bar 12:19 long at 754.60 stop @ 741.80 PT @ 767.40.”   (Profit +12.80 Points – 1 trade = $1,280 on the Russell e-Mini)

“Yeah, this volatility is uhhhh…pretty extreme. Wild and crazy…and also very profitable… “

One of our Owner’s submitted his review of the last three months trading this market to the rules on the same timeframe:

Trading takes you through various cycles and market conditions.  We always remain realistic – the strategy is built to perform in a variety of market conditions and we know the difference between an average day and a truly spectactular day.  Not every session can be spectacular like today.  But, many can be consistent and “average” and as you can see from this three month review, average can work quite well even after commissions and slippage.  Today’s video we’ll walk you through an active timeframe on the Russell, and whether you traded that or any of the other futures markets (S&P, Dow, Nasdaq, Dax, etc…) there was just great movement.  Enjoy the video and be sure you scroll down and sign-up for our free webinar presentation on Tuesday, August 21st below.

Good question.  Keep in mind this is one strategy to learn that you can then trade in multiple markets.  That means stocks as well.  And, we can trade in multiple timeframes so you can day trade, swing trade even long-term position trade by just mastering this one trading strategy — all of that is done with our unique and comprehensive interactive training.  You’ll learn much more about that shortly.  In the meantime, we put together this short video to show you how we’ve been doing with several stocks — including popular stocks to trade such as Apple Computer — not just swing trading but also day trading if you prefer.  Others you’ll see are JNPR, AKAM, and the ever popular Nasdaq 100/QQQQ Exchange Traded Fund (ETF) — and your choices of stocks are not limited by any means.  If you have any questions, please leave comments to this post and we’ll be sure you get you a quick answer.

Double click the play buttons to start the video, then sit back and relax for about 10-15 minutes.  It’s time well worth spending as you get your first look at how the advanced copy users are doing with the methodology.  Many important questions are asked and answered, and this will give you a very good idea how this will benefit you in your own personal trading.

They are informative and insightful…Enjoy! – But don’t stop here, right below is a brand new video we put up today, showing the most recent Forex trades and more!

If you are a forex trader or interested in trading the forex markets you’ll want to take a look at today’s post. 

Clicking the link just below will take you to a page we put together with trades from today’s session — we’ve got day trades on the GBPUSD, USDJPY and USDCAD and for those of you who would prefer to swing trade we show you those results swing trading both the EURUSD this month and the EURJPY over the last 30 days.  The strategy is designed to be effective whether you choose to day or swing trade and we actually suggest you mix the two along with trading more than one market when it comes to the forex.  Spreading out the trades seems to be the most effective strategy since certain currency pairs tend to cycle up and down when it comes to trading range/volatility and this ensures you’ve got good coverage for when that occurs.

Check out the screenshots of the trade set-ups plus you’ll get to hear a short audio from a UMT owner trading the forex markets and their opinion…also, feel free to leave comments to this post with any questions you may have – we’ll answer them for you.

We’ve got a chart for today’s trading on the Crude Oil Futures.  This market starts trading at 9:00am EST (New York time) and is very a tradeable market as you’ll see.  Today was not unusual in its movement by any means.  Volumes are solid, over 200,000 contracts traded today and $10 per tick (0.10 increments) along with a fairly narrow bid/ask spread make for a market we like to consider.  As do the steady results.  In fact, one of our curren UMT Owners posted this a couple of days ago in the Owner’s forums:

Here’s some data on the 233 tick, a good timeframe

Number Trades = 113
Win % = 73%
Edge = 69%
Avg/ trade = $ 82.12 per contract

144 tick timeframe
Number Trades = 109
Win % = 75%
Avg/ trade = $112.96
Profit Factor: 10.76

Cheers,

Lou

Here’s the chart for today — 3 Wins – 1 Loss with +0.75 gross ($750 per contract before costs) — right in line with what Lou has been experiencing.

Oil Futures 8/10/07

You’ll see in the video below how we trade the Dow e-Mini futures, another very popular market to trade actively.  In this example, we show you an actual chart from “today” – when we are posting this message.  Excellent morning on one of our popular timeframes.  Ending with 6 wins – 1 loss and almost 100 points profit which is quite strong in the amount of time we traded in.  There were actually two more winners after these trades you’ll see — but at that point it was such a strong day you could finish and be done with an excellent profit.

One of our owners emailed us yesterday: 

Hi Brian,

    I just thought I’d share these results with you. I think they are fantastic.   I learn an awful lot while I’m in the room with you. Even though you trade at the speed of sound ( lol ). I’m not at all knocking it…actually it’s something that I admire. The results dont lie…the system is effective in many time frames. Thanks again…and cya tomorrow.

                                                                                                Billy

Billy was referring to a live room we offer as part of all of the training we offer so you can actually learn interactively with us — even better are the results he was reporting on the Dow e-Mini…73% winning trades.  Profit Factor of 8.20.  1,345 Points of profit.  Average trade of +$65 (one contract including wins & losses) — all over the last couple of months.  Even figuring in your commissions and a tick of slippage you end up with a strong bottom-line.

Here’s the video for this session to give you an idea of what is possible.  Be sure to leave your questions in the Comments area below (just click Comments) and we’ll answer those for you  – just check back for an answer and if you want us to cover some other markets in upcoming videos and examples just let us know in the comments.
