Smart Volume Spread Analysis and The Presidential Election

Smart Volume Spread Analysis and The 2016 Presidential Election:

Nearly every time a major news event happens people ask how our software did analyzing the market’s reaction to it.  The recent presidential election was no exception.  While Smart Volume Spread Analysis didn’t predict the surprise win by Donald Trump, it did very handily have you trading the right way from the first reaction (Freak out) to the next ‘yuge’ move back up (Acceptance)

The following chart is the hourly for the S&P 500 (Emini) on the day of the election (2016.  I marked the entry trades and the exits as well.

Smart Volume Analysis Watches The Markets Trump then Pump.

Trump – Two Very Clear Weakness Signals (Smart Selling and Reverse Shakeout)

Pump – Our Unique and Proprietary Smart Buying Signal, not found in any other volume analysis software, has you long at precisely the right moment. This was worth over 30 points.

Weak Exit Signal (Non Catalyst but Trade Advisor was in agreement)

Valid Exit Signal as Per Our Proprietary Signal to Signal Method

Here is a screenshot from the last Election.  You can clearly see Smart had you right then too.  (Click the link image below to go to the article from the 2012 Election.  That moves was worth 48 points on the S&P500 emini)

The Method

The gray area shows the NY Session which is when we use this method.  Other sessions will open up in the next update.  For now NY is the time I recommend.

We look for Specific Signals with no Smart Trade Advisor warnings on each chart.  When they appear we open a trade and exit on one of the three things (Depending mainly on time frame)  The first example is the 15 minute chart for three index charts but any time frame is suitable. For shorter time frames I find it’s best to go for a specific point target, use the signal to signal method for exits, or go for the HVZ area (usually the best).  On longer time frames EOM’s are great targets.

I use the H4 EOM version of this method for nearly two years with great results (I average 10.5 pips per trade).

The chart examples show all the trade setups per our method that have no warnings.  The visual trade advisor which is a tool used for back testing our proprietary trade advisors is used as a visual guide in the older examples.  You can see how they do.  If you own Smart you can verify this very easily using your own charts.

Many more examples are coming in future articles but as many of you know we are finalizing a huge update for Smart (V5.0!) as well as the testing for the Ninja Version and some other really big surprises.

Brexit Was No match for Smart Volume Spread Analysis

Brexit Was No Match For Smart Volume Spread Analysis

I am working on an article to detail a very successful and easy to follow method for trading the SP500 Emini aka the ES or e-mini. I had been compiling results on multiple time frames and working out guidelines for each when news started coming out about the impending Brexit vote. This is an example of that method in action when the big news started coming out that England is leaving the European Union. It details very clearly how well Smart Volume Spread Analysis works even on unprecedented news.

The markets went completely crazy. The GBP dropped to levels not seen in nearly 35 years. Markets all around the globe were crashing as well. All by 5% or more, and many by much worse. Even with all that turmoil going on Smart set up with one of my favorite signals and the trade still worked very well as expected.

Even Brexit was no match for Smart Volume Spread Analysis and our Proprietary Trading Methods.

During the most important and volatile day the financial markets have had to endure in a very long time, our proprietary Smart Volume Spread Analysis software had no problem finding great trades.  Using a simple Trading Method we have developed one trade setup appeared during our ES trade window. Unsurprisingly it worked. Even during one of the craziest market days seen in decades.

The Trade:
Upthrust During Trading Window (Gray Area) with No Warning (1) and No HVZ Entry Issues. Target was lower HVZ Area (2) since we are on Hourly. There are a few ways to exit this method which I will be describing in Future Articles and Documents.

Existing clients of ours will notice some other setups outside the trade window for this method as well.

I didn’t take this trade. I do not trade on Friday but there it is. A number of people asked how Smart performed with everything that was going and I think you can see. Another boring day using Smart.

We will publish the full Article detailing this very easy method for trading the ES using Volume Spread Analysis this weekend. Enjoy this teaser for now and as always please let us know if you have any questions using the link on our website.

Futures Trading With Smart VSA Easily Nets 40 To 100 Ticks Per Day

Futures Trading With Smart Volume Spread Analysis Easily Nets 40 To 100 Ticks Per Day on Oil alone.

I got an update from a client I have written about before… Our software has enabled many people to realize their dreams of trading full-time.  One client we’ve written about before did so after only 6 months of light use.  He updated us recently on his progress and has allowed me to share it with you….  He is futures trading using our Smart Volume Spread Analysis software trading oil and is averaging 40-100 ticks per day (equal to about $400.00 – $1,000.00 per day at the minimum contract size) since he started full-time.

Hi Guys.
Hows it going?  If you recall from my last email I was planning on trading full-time at the beginning of this year.  I’ve traded full-time now the last 3 months thanks to your software.  I am trading crude oil on a strictly intraday basis, I get some nice runners each day and I usually pull 40-100 ticks of crude a day…
It’s been great and I am very thankful for your system.
Take care
Mike L.

I edited out some extra stuff about updates to the software Mike asked about and some other details about his trading I wasn’t certain he wanted divulged.  The take away here is that:

  1. Smart Volume Spread Analysis works extremely well on commodities in addition to Forex and of course stocks etc.
  2. No matter what markets you trade Smart VSA can  have you trading with near 100% accuracy consistently enough to go full-time.
  3. Smart Volume Spread Analysis is a trading method that will enable you to be a better trader in a very short amount of time and that knowledge and the tools we provide will last a lifetime.  Let me know how I can help.

Here is a quick chart that details how easy it is futures trading using Smart Volume Spread Analysis and Catalyst Signals.  The Red and Blue triangles denote the signals you would have taken based on location and trade adviser warnings which are displayed on the chart in real-time.
