This month we’re going to follow the E-mini S&P and Aussie 240 minute swings. Last month saw a big jump in volatility as we followed silver and the Swiss currency. We learned a lot from these charts as bigger swings carved themselves out and the USD/CHF did a transition from down to up. It’s good to see these transitions take place live as you follow and learn to change with change.

In reviewing the USD/CAD and the E-Mini Russel we learned that markets can go sideways for a while not swinging much. I also introduce a percentage measure to test out how far price might go past a balanced swing and confirm a change. This month we will follow Silver futures and CHF/USD. Mapping swings is a simple way to frame and understand any market. One of the lessons I touch on is a video about approaching mapping swings or any method without expectations to get the most out of it.

First, we review last month’s Copper futures and the AUD/JPY to see what we can learn. Keep in mind that I set these up as a vehicle so others can learn in their own experience from price flow as it unfolds. You start with the instructions for mapping swings and then learn to see beyond the instructions how swings swing and how you can read and trade them. This month we will follow the Russel Futures and USD/CAD.

Last month we followed the Dow E-mini futures and EUR/USD and learned about contracting swings in the Dow and about rapid change in the EUR/USD. This month we will track Copper futures and the AUD/JPY. Keep in mind that these tools have the main function of enabling us to learn from price.

Last month we followed the Nasdaq E-Mini futures and NZD/USD into historic volatility and crazy. We mapped and followed them calmly with simple swings the same way we always do, the only difference is that the swings were bigger. This is an important time to stabilize our practice of seeing markets calmly and objectively. I emphasize the word “follow” because there is a big difference between predicting and following. This Month we will follow the Dow E-Mini futures and EUR/USD.

Change is the nature of markets, so the most important ability to develop as traders is how to change with change, to practice fluidity and not get stuck so much. The EUR/USD we followed last month was a lesson in practicing being able to flow with change by following relative swings from up to down. The E-Mini S&P taught us how price can push balanced minor swings up. This month we will map and follow Soybean futures and the USD/JPY.

This month we’re going to map and follow the E-mini S&P and EUR/USD with swings. Last month, we mapped Gold Futures and USD/CAD which I review in the video. In the review, we learned a few things that we can begin to take into our experience and future trades. We learned that the Gold landed right into the pocket of our major projected swing with an intense drop. By mapping and seeing the market in swings, the intensity was pulled out and the wave was easy to see. In USD/CAD we learned how the minor swings can pick up speed and the possibility of using gaps for minor entries along the way.
