Trading Strategies for CPI Release

In this video, the speaker shares his personal opinion on what is likely to occur during the release of CPI. He also discusses a trading strategy that involves identifying fair value gaps and liquidity.

Personal Opinion on CPI Release

  • The speaker's personal opinion is that CPI is a gamble and it's impossible to know for certain what will happen.
  • Tape reading and observation are important takeaways from studying the delivery of price in real-time.

Fair Value Gap Trading Strategy

  • The Silver Bullet trade involves identifying fair value gaps and liquidity between 10 am and 11 am.
  • The sell-side below the low in the PM session can be reached by using this strategy.
  • Look for fair value gaps, aim for liquidity, and aim for minimum five handles when using this strategy.
  • Candle bodies tell the story while wicks do the damage.

PM Session Trading Strategy

  • Between 2 pm and 4 pm is a sweet spot for PM session traders as there tends to be a continuation of bullish or bearish activity.
  • A high-rated shift in market structure occurred at the beginning of the final hour of trading.
  • Institutional order flow entry drill can be used as a partial entry into a fair value gap that doesn't reach midpoint.

Swing Projections and Market Close Macro

The speaker discusses swing projections and market close macro, specifically focusing on the negative three standard deviation at 41 13 and a half.

Negative Three Standard Deviation

  • Measured from high to low for standard deviation for swing projections.
  • Aiming for the low target during the last hour of trading.
  • Negative three standard deviation at 41 13 and a half.
  • This is the low of the day and in that sweet spot between 315 and 345 which is the Market on close macro.

Precision Trading

  • Extreme precision can be seen on charts exactly at 41 13 and a half.
  • It will be interesting to see how we open at six o'clock and start resuming trading.
  • Speaker would like to see a gap lower come back up and fill the gap then proceed to move lower overnight into tomorrow's session.

Conclusion

Speaker concludes by stating that what he would like to see in the market may not necessarily happen.

CFTC RULE 4.41 – HYPOTHETICAL OR SIMULATED PERFORMANCE RESULTS HAVE CERTAIN LIMITATIONS. UNLIKE AN ACTUAL PERFORMANCE RECORD, SIMULATED RESULTS DO NOT REPRESENT ACTUAL TRADING. ALSO, SINCE THE TRADES HAVE NOT BEEN EXECUTED, THE RESULTS MAY HAVE UNDER-OR-OVER COMPENSATED FOR THE IMPACT, IF ANY, OF CERTAIN MARKET FACTORS, SUCH AS LACK OF LIQUIDITY. SIMULATED TRADING PROGRAMS IN GENERAL ARE ALSO SUBJECT TO THE FACT THAT THEY ARE DESIGNED WITH THE BENEFIT OF HINDSIGHT. NO REPRESENTATION IS BEING MADE THAT ANY ACCOUNT WILL OR IS LIKELY TO ACHIEVE PROFIT OR LOSSES SIMILAR TO THOSE SHOWN Trading performance displayed herein is hypothetical. 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 trading 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 in 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 of which can adversely affect actual trading results.

Unlike actual performance records the results may under or over compensate for such factors such as lack of liquidity. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses to those shown. The risk of loss in trading can be substantial. You should therefore carefully consider whether such trading is suitable for you in light of your financial condition. If you purchase or sell Equities, Futures, Currencies or Options you may sustain a total loss of the initial margin funds and any additional funds that you deposit with your broker to establish or maintain your position. If the market moves against your position, you may be called upon by your broker to deposit a substantial amount of additional margin funds, on short notice in order to maintain your position. If you do not provide the required funds within the prescribed time, your position may be liquidated at a loss, and you may be liable for any resulting deficit in your account. Under certain market conditions, you may find it difficult or impossible to liquidate a position. This can occur, for example, when the market makes a “limit move.” The placement of contingent orders by you, such as a “stop-loss” or “stop-limit” order, will not necessarily limit your losses to the intended amounts, since market conditions may make it impossible to execute such orders.
