Let's take about the 5% Rule™ . For details, you can read this post , but today we're going to focus on the very simple concept of bounce lines. Under our 5% Rule™, we expect moves of 1.25%, 2.5% or 5% on major indexes to have 20% (of the move) corrections along the way, with a greater chance of a correction more likely as we cross each line of resistance . It's the 5% Rule™ that led us to make a long call in yesterday's Live Trading Webinar, as we tested the -2.5% lines on our indexes EXACTLY WHERE WE PREDICTED THEY WOULD BE IN OUR MORNING POST. That's right, using our 5% Rule in the morning, I was able to say in our morning post at 8:33 am : We have a PMI report at 9:45 and ISM Services at 10 along with Factory Orders and, at this point, expectations are low all around so we'll be looking for a bounce at Dow ( /YM ) 17,550, S&P ( /ES ) 2,040, Nasdaq 4,300 ( /NQ ) and Russell ( /TF ) 1,110 along with /NKD 15,900 but if any 2 are below (including whatever you are playing) – GET OUT! The S&P bottomed for the day at 2,039 at 2:05 pm and is already back to 2,055 for a $750 per contract gain in the /ES Futures. In our Live Trading Webinar, we played the Nasdaq Futures ( /NQ ) over the 4,300 line and made a very quick $168.50 in 5 minutes and then we chose to play Gasoline Futures ( /RB ) and made a just as quick $580 after another 5 minutes of hard labor at our keyboards. Making $748.50 in 10 minutes is good money so we took it and ran and went on with our Webinar at that point but the lines, like the song , remains the same – ready to be played any time we get a good test. This post isn't about showing you how to make money trading the Futures – we do that all the time in our Member Webinars ( replays available here ) and, of course, every day in our Live Member Chat Room IN PROGRESS
