Let’s face it.
Sometimes you just can’t find the right side of the market. And sometimes you miss a great trend.
Maybe you were busy with family and missed the morning reference bar trade. Maybe you hesitated out of fear. Or perhaps you were just flat out wrong.
Whatever the case, when you find yourself missing out on a great trend like we saw Thursday…
What can you do to make some profits, without taking unnecessary risk?
Sometimes it’s best to find a reversal point.
If you’re new to the DTI Method, here’s a quick lesson on our reference bar system.
We use 4 reference bars throughout the day. Pictured below is the emini S&P futures contract. You can clearly see four blue candles across the chart. These are the 4 reference bars during the 24-hour market. Each reference bar indicates a new market is in control. When the futures market opens at 5pm CT, reference bar 1 is painted blue, and Asia is deemed in “control” of the markets. European markets then open up and take control, and so we have reference bar 2 at 3:30am CT. The last two reference bars occur for the U.S. markets, one at 8:30 CT for the cash open, and once again at 12:30pm CT for the afternoon session. Each reference bar brings the opportunity for the market to continue the past trend, or reverse. <<<===== IMPORTANT POINT!
From the ES chart above we can clearly see both trend continuations and trend reversals occur.
The futures market opens and the selling pressure from the prior day continues. When Europe opens, we have our first trend change and buyers step in, bringing the ES back up to test the open of the day. <<<===== IMPORTANT POINT!
Once the U.S. cash market opens, we have another reversal, this time traders clearly want to continue the trend from the prior day session in the U.S. <<<===== IMPORTANT POINT!
Finally, we get a major reversal after lunch. It is not unusual at all for the afternoon session in the U.S. to trend opposite the morning session. <<<===== IMPORTANT POINT!
Here’s the point I’m getting to…
Finding the correct reversal point is a great way to find winning trades…
And with RoadMap…
All the information you need is clearly shown. Seriously, let’s go over all of this information to make it clear as day for you.
I will even create a checklist.
How to Spot a Reversal
- Know when the market tends to experience trend continuation or trend reversals
- The DTI Method teaches our unique reference bar system, pinpointing the time of day these trends usually develop
- The RoadMap Software shows you where these times of day are, clearly shown by blue candles, using our proprietary Compass Charts
- Know where the key price levels are at all times
- The Compass metrics clearly show yearly, monthly, weekly and reference bar opens
- If we know that reversals tend to occur around reference bar times and other important open, we can reason that those price levels will form important support and resistance levels… and we know this before those times occur… That’s Invaluable!
- Use the Seven Eleven feature of the RoadMap to confirm a reversal
- The pictures above and below show the Seven Eleven… when both the ES and NQ rows turn green, a bullish reversal is in place… when both the ES and NQ rows turn red, a bearish reversal is in place
- Use the Portfolio Manager to find the strongest stock to trade
- Of the stocks below, NFLX and NVDA are both green and outrank AAPL and AMZN
- Then reference the MM column to see that NVDA is stronger than NFLX
- Use the Compass buy and sell zones to find entry and target
Folks, the RoadMap provides all the information you need to become highly successful trading the markets.
