Quote from petty1978:
tomohawk I do have an ES Outside Day technique that work great. Inside Day, I don't.
For this technique, you need to be looking at the 30 m Bar ONLY, and at the Full Globex ES Session.
Example:
Stops are going to be larger and positions need to be adjusted accordingly. This can either be used to swing trade or as an intra-day guide, knowing the market wants to head UP.
SO THEN
If today is the outside day then today is day (0) and yesterday is day (1). Day (1) can be an up or down day and day (0) can be an up or down day and there is nor particular structure to the daily bar except the following logic:
Day (1)
1) Find the Full Globex low of day (1) on the 30m bar only.
2) Make sure that 30m Bar does not share that low with any other 30m Bar. It is exclusively the low on that time frame.
3) Make sure that the 30m Bar low is not the 16:30 est bar.
Day(2)
1) Find the low point the very same way
THEN
Connect the two low point to create a trend line. When price reverts back to this trend line "Swing [long] back to Day (0) Full Globex Session [high]"
This does not happen every day obviously but when it does it is a nice trade. I have not looked at any other Emini indexes to see if this works but I am sure it correlates. I like to use the ES charts as guides.
The Short Set Up is exactly the opposite! Check it out let me know what you think.
I will re-read this and make sure I did not leave out any logic, if I did I will leave an "edit" comment at the end of this post.
