Introduction to Qualifying Trade Conditions with 10-Year Yields
In this lesson, we will explore how to qualify trade conditions using the 10-year yields. We will focus on identifying seasonal tendencies and correlating them with the dollar index.
Qualifying Trade Conditions with 10-Year Yields
- The first step in qualifying trade conditions is to analyze the swings in relationship to the dollar index. Look for lower lows in the swings of the 10-year yields.
- Correlation between the dollar index and 10-year yields can be observed through higher highs and lower lows.
- Confirmation of a trade idea can be found when there is a crack in correlation, such as higher highs in the dollar index but not lower lows in the 10-year yields.
- The interest rate market declining at a certain time can further confirm a trade idea, as it affects the futures price of the 10-year note.
- Consolidation periods in both the yield and dollar index can also contribute to qualifying trade conditions.
Analyzing Seasonal Tendencies - June 2016
In this section, we will examine seasonal tendencies specifically for June 2016. We will compare market structures between the dollar index and 10-year notes to identify qualifying conditions.
Analyzing Seasonal Tendencies - June 2016
- Market structures should be compared between the dollar index and 10-year notes during seasonal tendencies.
- A crack in correlation occurs when there are higher highs in the dollar index but not lower lows in the 10-year notes, indicating qualifying conditions for a trade idea.
Lower High Formation - March Contract 2017
This section focuses on analyzing lower high formations using the March contract of the 10-year treasury note in 2017. We will examine the correlation with the dollar index and its implications for trade conditions.
Lower High Formation - March Contract 2017
- A lower high formation is observed in the March contract of the 10-year treasury note, indicating a potential trade condition.
- The absence of a higher high in the 10-year note when there is a lower low in the dollar index breaks market symmetry and suggests an underlying trend or manipulation.
- The decline in open interest during November supports the idea of short covering by smart money, leading to an increase in the dollar index.
- The trending move on the dollar index is supported by a larger range for the 10-year note to go lower, as indicated by increasing interest rate yields.
Blending Ideas with Quarterly Shift Concepts
In this section, we learn about blending ideas with quarterly shift concepts. The time horizon for trade setups and trends is discussed.
Blending Ideas with Quarterly Shift Concepts
- Blending seasonal tendencies and qualifying divergences between the dollar index and 10-year notes can be enhanced by incorporating quarterly shift concepts.
- The time horizon for trade setups is generally three months, but trades may last shorter or longer depending on market conditions.
- Long-term trends should be considered, but it's important not to try to pick tops or bottoms.
Conclusion and Trade Considerations
This section concludes the lesson by emphasizing that long-term trends can reverse. It also highlights that seeking yield influences currency markets and provides insights into trade considerations.
Conclusion and Trade Considerations
- Long-term trends can reverse, so it's crucial to consider this when trading.

Using Higher Time Frame Charts for High Probability Trades
In this section, the speaker discusses the benefits of using higher time frame charts to increase the probability of trades and filter out market noise. These ideas can be applied to align with higher time frame trends or order flow.
Benefits of Viewing Higher Time Frame Charts
- By viewing higher time frame charts, traders can increase the probability of their trades.
- It helps filter out market noise and provides a clearer picture of the overall trend.
