Mis-Conceptions & Wrong Beliefs
Most folks who get started in financial trading, after losing some money start thinking that 'Complicated' is the way forward but the reality is that those who have ever made any money trading have done so by keeping things simple. I know I made $18,367.94 in just 21 days trading with a really simple method, one that I am about to share with you today.

So, all I am asking you is to follow the instructions here and you won't be disappointed with your investment in my course. With the simple set of tools that you will use along with a trained set of eyes to spot market opportunities, you will know exactly how to make money in your trading.

My aim is to teach you everything from A-Z, you will learn exactly how to spot these money making opportunities which present themselves every single day!

The key principles that you are about to learn can be applied to all financial instruments, however I have found them to work best with the Dow Emini Index Futures.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
For those who have been around for a while, please go through everything that you will find here, even if you think you know it already...because the worse thing you can do is blind fold yourself with a 'know it all' attitude.

I assure you there is a fine difference between 'knowing' and 'making' an actual application of the concepts that you will be taught in this course.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Let's Begin..

Fundamental analysis predicts the future, tomorrow, a month or a year from now, what may happen depending on past and currect performance records. This is a much deeper subect and involves reading of financial statements, looking at previous and current records, how economic events have affected or will have an affect in the future and all that you can find related to money income and expense has to be accounted for.
After analysing this data, you come to a conclusion and predict future price valuation of the Stock, Commodity, or the Financial Intrument of your interest.
Now, this type of analysis is not appealing for us because it's simply not something that we can use to make money day trading. 
Because we are speculators who are looking to make money with short term price fluctuations and within minutes, we care less about the price valuation for tomorrow, a month from now or even a year later. 
So, in order to make money with short term speculation we make use of what is called 'Technical Analysis'.
This program is based on market cycles; I will teach you technical trading and give you all the tools that you will need. Technical Analysis requires you to be able to analyse charts, basically read the market and we do this visually by looking at formations and patterns that repeat over and over again.
Tools for Technical Analysis used in DowScalper
Module 1 Covers: Understanding Price Action
  • Understading Price Movements
  • Market Cycles
  • Support & Resistance

Understanding Price Action

As a Technical Analyst we need to be able to read and understand price movements in the market, we do this with the use of price charts. 
We can get four different data from the diagram below.
1. Market Open
2. Range High
3. Range Low
4. Close
 

Market Cycles
Price movements in a financial market consist of cycles.
These cycles are present in all timeframes, the lower the timeframe the more of these cycles are in play, and with higher timeframes you will find less but bigger cycles.
There are mainly 4 stages of a cycle, these are;
  1. Accumulation
  2. Mark-Up
  3. Distribution
  4. Mark-Down
 
The market in any timeframe is continually going through this cycle. 
Accumulation is when the investment comes into the market, Mark-up is when the price rises with a further growth of interest and reaches a point where it is stretched or over extended, Distribution is unloading and the first stage towards the reset, Mark-Down is the actual reset of the Cycle.
A very good example of it being a rubber band, when far stretched it wants to be back in it's original shape, so it matters not which direction you pull it, the principle remains the same.


How to Identify the Trend
One of the simplest ways is to read the market with the help of candlestick charts. Another way to identify the direction is with the use of trend lines. 
The correct way of drawing a trend line is by joining the lowest or the highest points on the chart in a straight line, if the outcome is a positive slove or the line is pointing upwards than we have an uptrend, if you have a negative slope of the line points down than the market is in a down trend. And, if the line is flat than the market does'nt have any real direction.
You don't really need to make lines on your chart because this course will train you how to read the market without the use of traditional methods.




Leading Indicators
Most, if not all indicators lag behind price i.e. they alert you when an event has already happened, this is because indicators are calculated with price and volume data, in other words price moves first indicators second.
However, saying that there is only one indicator that I consider leading and that is the Fibonacci Indicator tool, due to it's popularity it is widely available on all charting platforms and used by the traders.
The Fibonacci Ratios most important to us are 38.2% & 50%, also -23.6%
Don't worry for now about how we use them, everything is covered in this course as you will find in later modules.
Drawing or placing a Fibonacci Indicator on your chart is quite simple, all you do is stretch the indicator across between the high and the low of the range and it automatically calculates and displays the variant Fib Ratios.
I want you to know  that there is no magic to this tool, the only reason we are applying it to our trading is because it is widely known among the traders but we actually use it Contrary to them. 
Once you train your eyes, you don't even need to draw Fibonacci lines on your chart because you will just know where these levels exist. 
However, for the sake of simplicity I thought it would be useful to write about it in this program, as it will help you determine your profit target areas, more on this later.
(DO-NOT USE OTHER INDICATORS IN YOUR TRADING)

Support & Resistance
Simply put, the most recent high/low levels in the market act as support and resistance.
The only logical reason for that is traders who missed out on the first opportunity are looking for a test of the previous level in the market, and therefore the market has pending orders at these levels, while other traders who are already in are looking to get out should the support/resistance level fail to hold and if they see their position going into negative.
In other words, you will find an increase of supply at resistance levels and a high demand at support levels however, this does'nt mean that support/resistance levels will always hold. For now, I would just like you to understand the concept as you will learn in later chapters we only use them when they work best.
Support & Resistance Levels are simply areas where buyers and sellers join hands buying or selling large number of contracts, so these levels become important to us in our trading as you will learn in the advance modules.
Congratulations!
You have now completed Module.1
