Finessing An Entry

I thought I’d put some notes together on entries. Not so much on where to enter but rather on how to finesse your way into a position so that more often than not, you are a tick up pretty much straight away. In some circumstances, this will also gain you one extra tick profit. This is something that in my opinion is quite specific to the thicker markets I trade).

So firs thing I guess is obvious, if you are a swing trader, you won’t find much of use of this. If you trade thin markets like CL,DAX, NQ nothing for you either. You forex guys? Nope – I have nothing to offer you as well.

So for the 5 of you that are left, that are trading thick stocks or futures markets with decent liquidity – ES, 6E, Bund, Bobl, US Treasuries, Corn, EuroStoxx – read on.

Futures and forex trading contains substantial risk and is not for every investor. An investor could potentially lose all or more than the initial investment. Risk capital is money that can be lost without jeopardizing ones’ financial security or life style.
