THE DETAILS:
IMPORTANT NOTES ON THE EXECUTION/INTERPRETATION OF OUR TRADING PLANS:
(i) The index by itself is NOT tradable. The model plans here based on the S&P index level can be used to trade any instrument that tracks the index – the futures on the index (ES, ES-mini), the options on the futures (ES options), the SPX options, the ETF SPY are just a few examples of the instruments one can adapt these plans to.
(ii) The hypothetical results published for any morning’s trading plans are arrived at based on a 1-minute bar granularity. Your exact results would vary widely, depending on the time frame you use – tick chart, 1-min chart, 5-min chart, 15-min chart etc, as well as the quality of the execution of your broker and any slippage, the stop levels you use based on your risk tolerance and your trading style.
(iii) For the execution of our models trading plans, a “break above/below” is deemed to have occurred when the index opens below/above and pierces above/below (if you are trading intra-bar) or closes above/below (if you are trading by bar close) a specified trading level.
(iv) For the trades to trigger, the breaks should occur during the regular session hours starting at 9:30am ET. By design, both our medium-frequency models and the aggressive intraday models do NOT open any new positions after 3:45pm; they carry only one open position at any given time.
(v) Due to the “intraday” nature of the aggressive intraday models, they do not carry positions overnight and close out any open positions at the close of the 3:55pm bar.
(vi) The published trade plans and their results are not reflective of, or indicative of, any specific outcomes for any specific individual. While we strive to be as accurate as possible, we can not guarantee nor do we warranty any level of accuracy with anything we publish. Readers are urged to use their own due diligence in making any trading/investment decisions, and explicitly cautions to NOT rely on any numbers/prices we mention in any of our articles.
(vii) These plans and results are hypothetical and NOT an investment advice to buy or sell any specific securities but are intended to aid – as informational, educational, and research tools – in arriving at your own investment/trading decisions. Please read the full disclosures at the bottom of this article for additional notes and disclaimers.
