Universal Market Trader Trading Blog

Another great benefit of using the Universal Market Trader is the fact that we can trade multiple markets in multiple timeframes.  This means whether you are someone who can trade during the day, only in the evenings or any time in between there are markets and timeframes that are perfect for you.

One flexible market, of many, is the Dax Futures.  This trades on the Eurex exchange and is worth $25 EUR per point (approx $34 U.S. Dollars/point) and is available at a number of futures brokers in the U.S. and of coures globally.  Volume is quite high and there is excellent liquidity.  Even better, it trades well both in European market hours and U.S. market hours so it is quite flexible trading to suit a variety of geographies.

This morning I picked up some trades starting at 9:30am EST (New York Time) and was done within 15 minutes — with three trades, all hitting profit targets, and with controlled risk on every trade.  The results you’ll see below are in Euros that will be converted automatically by your broker – in this case it will end up over $700.  Trading 1 contract, in 15 minutes.

We talk all the time about the options UMT gives you — e-Minis such as the S&P, Nasdaq, Dow, Russell.  Commodities such as Crude Oil, Sobyeans and Gold.  Forex such as EURUSD, GBPJPY, GBPUSD and more.  Stocks run the gamut – from ETFs to major large cap stocks like Google, Apple and anything else you can think of.  If there’s good movement and liquidity – it is a market we are interested in.

Putting the odds in your favor on every trade you take is the secret to successful trading.  It gives you the confidence to reach your trading plan and objectives each day.  In fact, it can actually make trading fun.  Nobody is saying that active trading is not work – it is – but it sure helps when it’s rewarding and enjoyable.  Here’s the actual, live trade results – notice how quick each trade was done (average just about 2 minutes) CLICK THE IMAGE BELOW FOR ENLARGED VIEW:
