Smart Money Trading: Lesson 4 - Trade Triggers

Certainty. We all want it. In fact, it’s a core human survival need along with Variety, Significance and Love. I have a lot to say about these but let’s stick with certainty for now. Our desire for this can make trading a psychological challenge. Have you felt this challenge as a trader before? YEAH! Me too! BECAUSE… Nothing is certain in the market. We only have probabilities that something more likely to happen. This is why when trading the smart money I have a process. - I find ideas using information most traders don’t have access to (Scanners) - I make a plan with that information based on data points (Create a plan) - I have a watchlist that alerts me when price moves according to that plan (watchlist) Then What? When I am alerted about to the price action, is it an automatic buy? Not always, that is what I covering today in my final installment of trading the smart money. Because we can never have full certainty about what will happen in the market, I want to teach you about two ways you can execute trade ideas from the watchlist. - Trend pullback trades - Momentum breakout trades. TREND PULLBACKS I tend to trade trend pull backs on larger time frames. So if I see options on the unusual options scanner for several months out. I often like to see the chart trending in that direction anyway. SIDE NOTE: There is a saying in the market. “The Trend is your friend till it ends.” In every trade you take, your plan needs to include a level from which you know you are wrong and commit to getting out of the trade. For me that could be a Dark Pool level, key support and resistance level or a key moving average. (I like it best when those levels converge, meaning they are close.) So buying a trend pull back means the stock’s price is moving in a direction, up or down. But then price pulls back near that level WITHOUT breaking it. You see, the closer you buy near the level you know you are wrong from and will get out at, the less risk you are taking in the trade. Conversely, the further away from that level you buy from, the more pain you have to endure and money you have to lose if it falls back to and break that level. So often it can be a good idea to exercise patience and wait for price to pull back. Here is an example in KHC. I saw big calls going into the KHC APR 23 $42.50 Calls. That’s several months out. Looking at the daily chart. KHC is an upward tradne and there is a clear support like at $39.30. So buying a pull back near that line would be the LEAST RISKY way to trade it because if KHC broke below the 200 Simple moving average (Blue dotted line) the trade would over and that’s only a dollar below that level. MOMENTUM BREAKOUT These types of trades are another option when it comes to trading the smart money. Sometimes you see smart money piling into a position right as it starts to move. Often when the smart money jumps in this volume only adds fuel to the fire and the price runs hard. This makes the trade more volatile of course. I like to trade these momentum moves on shorter term time frames because of this volatility. But when price break key resistance levels it tells me that the trades has some serious momentum and if smart money is piling in, I’d consider riding the momentum with them. Here is a recent example from XPEV. I saw on the smart money scanners that XPEV was getting huge volume. Looking at the chart, it broke a key resistance level and had plenty of momentum. When I saw this breakout I sent this scanner alert to members of Terminator Trades  Again, I’ll reiterate that breakout are volitile and can come back down as quickly as they go up so it’s important to have stops in place to the upside and not get left holding the bag. Still, Momentum Breakouts do have potential to be good trades! This is why I alert quick momentum moves like this to members and they make their own plan. Let’s just say that there were several happy folks that were glad I alerted them to this breakout. LIke Eric.  Again, not all trades work out like this. As I mentioned at the start of this email, anything can happen in trading. But I when I see good probabilities set up, I look to take action. I hope this email has helped you understand two ways that you can take action when it comes to trading the smart money. By either waiting for a pull back or buying a breakout. Both have their pros and cons as I’ve tried to lay out but both are viable options. Speaking of which.
