PART 1- The Mental Game. Most traders believe that correct trading patterns or setups are the ultimate key to success. Lewis strongly disagrees! Knowing yourself first is more important. In Part 1, Lewis will teach you how to identify the proper trading style that is best suited to your personality and how to take advantage of your innate style to gain insight into your trading and improve your results. You will then learn how to use this knowledge and apply it in the upcoming weeks' lessons.
PART 2- The Trend. One of the toughest things traders encounter is how to identify if today is a trend day or a range-bound day. Knowing how to trade in these two very different environments is a major key to most professionals' success. In Part 2, Lewis will show you how he identifies these two distinct trading environments and how you can exploit characteristics of each.
PART 3- Executing - Part I. Building upon the first two weeks' lessons, in Part 3 you will learn where to enter, when to exit, and where to place your stops in the S&P and Nasdaq 100 futures. You will also be taught when and how to scale into and scale out of a position, and how to properly evaluate the risks vs. rewards before entering a position.
PART 4- Executing - Part II. In Part 4, Lewis will teach you how to read daily and intraday charts, how to exactly pinpoint support and resistance areas, and how to trade pivots and breakouts. Also, as an added bonus, Lewis will show you how to determine a "false breakout" vs. "the real thing." Not only will you be able to apply this knowledge to stock index futures trading, but you will also be able to apply it to other major markets as well. Finally, at the end of this lesson, you will learn how to trade economic events, including the release of significant reports such as PPI, CPI, and key employment reports.
PART 5- Executing - Part III. In Part 5, Lewis will share with you how he uses stocks to foretell the futures markets and how he uses futures to foretell the movement of key stocks. Also, Lewis will teach you the best momentum and sentiment indicators he uses to enter and exit the markets.
PART 6- Trading The Nasdaq 100. A special focus on the Nasdaq 100 futures market. You will learn how this volatile index differs from the other stock index futures and specific strategies for trading it.
