Why you need to follow more than 1 market


OK, now let’s move onto the 3min YM, where we started with the same -1R losses early in the day. Yes, losses can and do happen, it is just important that they are kept small at just -1R.

But then we got a DP buy early afternoon, that made +0.9R Profit, then (and this is the one I would like to look at), the TS3 sell at 15:00EST reached the minor DP support (from the minor wave b low). And you should know from reading the Trading Course, that this is the first “minor” support zone following a Wave C high or low. So (as we were expecting a hard day), a further +2.1R Profit was available here.

So, as you can see, this would have made the YM Profitable overall, whereas the ES was not. This is why you must follow more than just 1 e-mini as you will get differ trades as the patterns on each e-minis will be different throughout the day.

Thanks, Steve
