#1 = The Previous Day High & Low zones!
Let's start with how to draw them, it's very simple...
(15 minute chart)
Previous Day High Zone = High of day wick to the following candle body ✅
Previous Day Low Zone = Low of day wick to the following candle body ✅
Visual example 👇

Previous Day Low Zone = Low of day wick to the following candle body ✅

How to utilize these zones...
These are the main areas of support & resistance I watch the following day.
This gives me 4 scenarios to watch for ⬇️
1️⃣ Break PDH = Focus on calls 📈
2️⃣ Reject PDH = Focus on puts 📉
3️⃣ Bounce PDL = Focus on calls 📈
4️⃣ Break PDL = Focus on puts 📉
*Note, I prefer to size down for scenarios 2 & 3 (Range Day) and size up for scenarios 1 & 4 (Expansion Day)

#2 = Follow the EMA trends!
Trading with the EMA trends makes it much easier to be on the right side of the move...
Here's the EMA's I use ⬇️
(2 minute chart)
13 EMA 🟡
48 EMA 🟣
200 EMA 🔴
Let's take a look at how to utilize these 👇

Let's take a look at how to utilize these 👇

Bullish EMA trend 📈
13 EMA on top 🟡
48 EMA in middle 🟣
200 EMA on bottom 🔴
Think of it like this ⬇️
Above 200 EMA = Bullish
Above 200 + 48 EMA = More Bullish
Above 200 + 48 + 13 EMA = Mega Bullish
Visual example 👇

48 EMA in middle 🟣
200 EMA on bottom 🔴
Think of it like this ⬇️
Above 200 EMA = Bullish
Above 200 + 48 EMA = More Bullish
Above 200 + 48 + 13 EMA = Mega Bullish
Visual example 👇
6
Bearish EMA trend 📉
200 EMA on top 🔴
48 EMA in middle 🟣
13 EMA on bottom 🟡
Reverse the thought process from above ⬇️
Under 200 EMA = Bearish
Under 200 + 48 EMA = More Bearish
Under 200 + 48 + 13 EMA = Mega Bearish
Visual example 👇

#3 = Trade the flags!
Bull / Bear Flags are one of the most reliable chart patterns out there. I add them to my system for added confirmation.
The main focus is...
Bull Flags above the Previous Day High 📈
Bear Flags below the Previous Day Low 📉
So basically I am focusing on flags that align with the EMA trends and the 4 scenarios provided above.

You could trade any of these 3 techniques by themselves and probably find some decent success...
But letting 2 or 3 them come together into 1 trade gives you multiple confirmations and increases your win rate substantially!
Let's look at some examples of this 👇

Bonus tip...
Avoid trading areas on the chart where these EMA's get tight and bunched up ❌
There is usually no momentum in those areas creating choppy price action that causes many unnecessary losses!

Bonus tip...
Mark the Pre Market High & Low (4am - 9:30am EST) everyday before open.
These are great additional levels to watch for possible entry points into trades.
(Try to avoid trading inside of that Pre Market High & Low range) That is often an area where price tends to be choppy!
* I do make certain exceptions to this rule if I really like the setup. But newer traders should avoid it completely.

Ending notes...
The goal is to only risk your hard earned money on high quality setups that are both repeatable and easy for you to identify!
The set of rules I just went over gives me exactly what I need to do that if I just stay patient & follow my system.
Start small and aim for consistency!
Before you can start hitting those $1,000 days you need to show yourself you can hit consistent $100 days.
