02   What if I only want TS TradePlan for ES and nothing else? 

We are pleased to offer single instruments for TS TradePlan. Simply visit our pricing page.

 

03   Do you offer analysis for any other markets?

Yes. On a custom basis we provide TS TradePlan type analysis for all liquid markets including all futures, options, and equities markets. Please contact us with your request. 

 

04   What time is TS TradePlan posted for clients?

TS TradePlan is posted for clients prior to the London open. Usually it is posted a couple hours after the U.S. cash close. It is valid for Europe, United States, and Asian trading until the next day's trading plan is posted.

 

05   Why not post closer to the U.S. open if you are U.S. based?

The markets are increasingly global and futures trade roughly 24/6. Many originating moves start during Globex hours. (See Q # 07)). Additionally, there is a huge advantage for U.S. based traders to be able to see how the markets have reacted to the trade plan during the overnight trade. Often when I wake up and see how price has traded in relation to the plan it is like "lightbulbs" popping off in regarding clarity of what to likely expect for U.S. cash session. 

 

06   What time is Hit & Run Setups and the private discord active?

Most activity takes place between 6 - 9 AM PST (9 AM - 12 PM EST). See the next question. 

 

07  When is the best time to trade?

There are two specific time periods for futures that offer the best opportunity based on volatility. The first being 5 - 9 AM PST (8 AM - 12 PM EST). which covers most major U.S. economic releases, the 6E Euro FX futures, CL Crude Oil futures, and GC Gold futures pit opens, the U.S. cash open and the London close. The second best time to trade is 11 PM - 2 AM PST (2 AM - 5 AM EST) which covers the London open. The significance of the London open is we often get originating moves in instruments like 6E Euro FX futures, CL Crude Oil futures and GC Gold futures based around the London open.

 

08   Do you have any indicators?

Yes. We have the TS TradePlan Indicator that is available for NinjaTrader 7, NinjaTrader 8, SierraChart, TradeStation, eSignal, MultiCharts and MultiCharts.NET. The indicator automatically plots the current day's TS #'s and Execution/Target Zones on your charts as well as allows you to pull up the current day's written TS TradePlan.

 

10   What if I trade spot Forex EURUSD, can I use the 6E TS TradePlan?
          Yes, you can, the EURUSD and 6E trade in unison. However consider trading futures vs spot FX.

​

11   Can I trade SPY, DIA, QQQ, IWM, FXE, USO, GLD using TS TradePlan? 

          Yes, you can, if you can make the correlation. I find SPY, DIA and GLD the easiest to correlate and I trade options on them.

Risk Disclosure: Futures 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. Only risk capital should be used for trading and only those with sufficient risk capital should consider trading. Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results.
 
Hypothetical Performance Disclosure Example: Hypothetical performance results have many inherent limitations, some of which are described below. no representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those shown; in fact, there are frequently sharp differences between hypothetical performance results and the actual results subsequently achieved by any particular trading program. One of the limitations of hypothetical performance results is that they are generally prepared with the benefit of hindsight. In addition, hypothetical trading does not involve financial risk, and no hypothetical trading record can completely account for the impact of financial risk of actual trading. for example, the ability to withstand losses or to adhere to a particular trading program in spite of trading losses are material points which can also adversely affect actual trading results. There are numerous other factors related to the markets in general or to the implementation of any specific trading program which cannot be fully accounted for in the preparation of hypothetical performance results and all which can adversely affect trading results. Full Disclaimer & Terms of Use
