  Avoiding Drawdown (consistent losses)   

"Traders that have a strong understanding of the price action they are trading will rarely need to make adjustments to their pattern signals when the market conditions change.

Further, one of the main reasons why drawdown cycles occurs is that traders begin making adjustments to their entry signals during the early stages of losses instead of spending the same time and energy to understand the price action prior to the appearance of a pattern signal.

Simply, understanding the price action allows a trader to adapt his/her overall trading plan to a change market condition without having a need to make adjustments to the actual entry signal."

  Arena of Technical Analysis

"Technical Analysis (TA) is much more than technical indicators (ex. mach, cci, moving average). It involves researching and analyzing the price action on any type of data or chart regardless if your a price action only trader or a trader that uses indicators."

  Emini ES Futures and Japanese Candlestick Patterns

"Day traders that are using Japanese Candlestick patterns to trade the S&P 500 Emini ES futures...should also be following the exchange traded fund SPY because the best candlestick patterns will occur in the SPY instead of ES.

This allows you to use SPY to signal trades in ES to create additional trade opportunities in ES if you use Japanese Candlestick patterns.

This is called sister trading via taking trades in one market that has its actual pattern signals occurring in a highly correlated key market (ex. NQ/QQQQ, ES/SPY, TF/IWM)."

  Different Trading Styles Risk Management   

"Traders that have more than one trading style (day trade, swing trade and position trade) should manage the differences in risk exposure via position size management instead of changing their initial stop/loss protection."

  Long Shadows via Japanese Candlestick Analysis  

"Long Shadows via Japanese Candlestick analysis provides a wealth of info about support/resistance zones, changes in supply/demand along with giving early warning signs that a pattern signal will soon appear."

  EuroFX 6E Futures Volatility Contraction 

"CME EuroFX 6E provides clues to when the volatility will decline in the Emini Futures (TF, ES, NQ and YM) and this is one aspect of not getting tunnel vision via monitoring only your trading instrument (intermarket analysis)."

  Flight to Quality in Treasury Futures 

"Poor performance in the Emini Futures, Oil Futures and Gold Futures at the same time will produce a flight to quality in the Treasury Futures."

With what's said above, the trading tips and advice are applicable to the following trading instruments:  

 CME Emini Futures EMD, ES and NQ 

 ICE Emini TF Futures (formerly CME ER2)

 CBOT mini-sized Dow Futures YM
