Takeaways

• 😀 Focus on the 2-minute chart for optimal trading practice, as it provides the right balance of speed and frequency.
• 😀 The 2-minute chart allows for finding trading opportunities approximately every 8 minutes, making it ideal for training.
• 😀 Use the 20-period simple moving average (SMA) to identify trends and assess market conditions.
• 😀 The 20-period SMA, when rising at a 45-degree angle, signals a strong and sustainable market trend.
• 😀 The 200-period SMA is a longer-term trend indicator and works in conjunction with the 20-period SMA to define market states.
• 😀 The 200-period SMA acts as the 'father' moving average, while the 20-period is considered the 'child' or short-term trend.
• 😀 A bullish trend occurs when the 20-period SMA is rising above the 200-period SMA, signaling a buying opportunity.
• 😀 A bearish trend occurs when the 20-period SMA is falling below the 200-period SMA, signaling a selling opportunity.
• 😀 The best trades occur when the 20-period SMA is at a 45-degree upward angle, showing the strongest and most sustainable trends.
• 😀 Traders should look for 'powerful bars' near the 20-period SMA, especially when there's a color change, as these indicate buy/sell signals.
• 😀 Always trade with the trend—buy in bullish markets and sell in bearish markets to align with institutional buying/selling actions.

Q & A

Why is the 2-minute chart recommended for trading?

The 2-minute chart is recommended because it offers a balance between speed and opportunity, providing enough frequency of trades to help a trader build experience without being too fast or too slow.

What is the importance of the 20-period simple moving average (SMA) in trading?

The 20-period SMA is crucial as it helps identify market trends. It is especially effective when it is inclined at a 45-degree angle, signaling a sustained trend. It also acts as a support level when in an uptrend.

Why is a 45-degree angle on the 20-period SMA significant?

A 45-degree angle indicates a strong and sustainable trend. It shows that the market is not too volatile and is likely to continue in the same direction, offering better trading opportunities.

How does the 20-period SMA act as support in an uptrend?

When the 20-period SMA is ascending at a 45-degree angle, it tends to act as a support level. Price often bounces off it during a healthy uptrend, providing a reliable point to enter trades.

What role does the 200-period SMA play in trading?

The 200-period SMA is used in conjunction with the 20-period SMA. It helps confirm the overall trend. While the 20-period SMA is the 'child' of the two, the 200-period SMA is the 'parent,' providing the broader market context.

What are the three states that traders must identify in the market?

The three states are: 1) compressed (flat), where both SMAs are close together and the market is not trending; 2) trend, where the 20-period SMA starts to separate from the 200-period SMA; and 3) expanded, where the SMAs are widely separated, indicating a strong trend.

What is the 'Power of the Bulls' in trading?

The 'Power of the Bulls' refers to the market condition where the price is rising above the 20-period SMA, which is also rising, while the 200-period SMA is relatively flat. This combination suggests strong buying pressure and provides a bullish signal for trades.

How can traders identify the 'Power of the Bears'?

The 'Power of the Bears' is identified when the price is falling below the 20-period SMA, which is descending, while the 200-period SMA is relatively flat. This indicates strong selling pressure and signals a bearish market condition.

What is the significance of the 'color change' in trading?

A color change refers to when a red (down) bar is followed by a green (up) bar. This indicates a reversal in direction and presents a buying opportunity, especially when the bars appear near the 20-period SMA.

Why is it important to trade near the 20-period SMA during trend changes?

Trading near the 20-period SMA during trend changes increases the chances of entering a profitable trade. It allows traders to capture the early part of a trend as it forms, especially when strong, powerful bars or color changes occur near the SMA.
