The "Flip" Trade (support and resistance changing roles)

Recommended Posts

Hello my dear fellow traders, today is june 18 and the week starts nice and slowly so far... market is not in any momentum stage yet, but flips are coming in nice and gently... lately I am following and trading YM... its more gentle on its moves and it has a very nice range to make my 60 bucks for the day per contract...

 

I attach my first two flips today, one was a scrach and the second one worked like a charm... I also attach 22T chart with "very specific timing" using the exact indicators from the 55T chart... cheers Walter.

walter, the second trade was a beauty!!!

 

 

Absolutely ¡¡ you see that time of the day (early, first hour) its a good time to use the runners... after that maybe its more bussiness just to scalp and exit entire positions on scalper exits... cheers Walter.

I want to post here some charts of why today there where no more flips on YM....

 

As you all know a flip is formed by 5 simple steps: (to open position)

 

1rts Outerband Pivot Formation

2nd Creation of S&R level

3rd Break of that S&R Level

4th Pullback to the level

5th Timing entry of flip

 

 

On the cases I attach from this sleepy evening you can notice that on several ocations we did form step 1 and 2 but did not get step 3...

 

On other ocations we got a very weak step 3 and step 4 would invalidate the entire setup as they would get too deep from S&R level...

 

This is what monitoring flips on real time its all about... you get lots of preparations that finish on nothing.... others, they get all the way thru and get as sweet as they can... cheers Walter.

I want to make clear how I did manage my stop today on my first trade, and that was as I entered the trade with a +50 level cross, the crossing on oposite direction was a clear stop... (period). Discipline here is my best friend... cheers Walter.

Nice one Walter, I managed to catch the second one.

 

Missed the 1st one as I keep waiting for the picture perfect ones, as in where the S/R line is touched.

 

Keep up the good work

 

Cheers

Glad to hear that Blu-Ray, today we didnt have much amount of flips... the reason is very simple : there is not much momentum so there are al lot of setups that get invalidated specially on the pullback to level... (too deep)

Some two more flips, I didnt trade them... cheers Walter.

Today june 20 had one flip so far... was not a big deal but worked fine taking entry from -50 and again scalper exit was the most rentable one here...

 

I will soon open a new thread with a technique that compliments on this kind of days when there are nice trades but are not flips, it will use some momentum concepts used for flips and will also capitalize on the timing methods used on flips, but will open a lot of more oportunities to trade...

 

cheers Walter.

Today I will post an offline flip (did not trade)... I had been doing M`s lately with my old method, but I have to confess flips setups are much easier... so I will try to keep posting here my flips on the coming days... so far I am following YM on a 55T chart with a keltner exponential 100 / 1 and 2.5 atr, on the cci you have cci 14 and cci 6 for turbo...

 

From all my last research in futures, flips are the trades that have something special on being easy to spot... and sometimes when you feel a little lazy to be making too much algorithms on your head this is one setup that gets me relaxed... compared to abc`s the advantage flip has its that there is not so many amount of signals, abc`s can eventually make you overtrade... M`s or lazy trades is for oldies an there are so many subjective perception nuances that I really fail to post here objectively on this trades... it is a type of trade I think should be thought on site... lol... now flips are easy and straight forward, and for me posting here helps me a lot as I get to see my mistakes and my good performance as well, and if someone at the same time its following this simple method, I hope I can help and please feel free to share some charts here... cheers Walter.

 

 

PD: at this point I am only using scalper exits "The Exit"... with re-cross of 50 levels...

Just a quick question if I may, I know when you started the ABC thread you said that you were using the same indicators and tick chart as the flip methodology. Then you switched to a 22 tick chart with a new oscillator as well, so I was wondering, what nuances did you find with the ABC method?

 

I can see where overtrading would come into it, as it throws out a lot of signals, but there are also a few where you would get shaken out as well. I would really appreciate your comments, as when waiting for flips, alot of the time ABC patterns occur instead.

 

 

Cheers

Yes Blu-Ray I do have a 22 Tick chart also on my trading, I use it for "Very specific timing" I do use it for flips as for abc`s... now my experience with abc`s is that the best abc`s that did work happened also to be flips, so it was adding to much noise into my trading, having too much trades I dont really need... so for the sake of simplicity I just choose to trade flips at this time and my regular M`s.... I will show you on post my 22 T charts also... cheers Walter.

Hi Walter,

 

Thanks for sharing your ABC and Flip setups.

 

I have a question with regards to entries when the Turbo crosses the zero do you put in a market order or a limit order and wait to get trigerred?

 

Here are some of todays setups.

Ah, a blast from the past - back in July 2007. Hopefully, Walter is still around to answer your question live in the forums.

And another old thread dug up from the grave...

 

I will say this - some people spend some serious time around here finding old threads to breathe new life into.

Go figure...but that's probably because mods around here don't close 'em off when they're pretty much done.

They should NOT be closed as the system is so fresh in its use as when it was posted long time ago, and new people come in and may have questions regarding to the system... trading is a simple endeavor and old good methods as the one presented here can help a lot to new and even old seasoned traders... cheers Walter.

Agreed. Why close a thread with great info? Whats wrong with people bumping old threads? IMO this goes to show that the info in that thread is probably still relevant.

 

Most the good threads/info are TIMELESS.

 

AND lets keep jabs out of this...thanks.

HI Walter,

 

Thanks for your reply, I was curious to see what type of orders you were using.

 

What about higher time frames do you use those in this strategy to confirm the direction of the trend?

    • Date: 17th May 2024. Market News – Asian and European futures followed Wall Street lower. Economic Indicators & Central Banks:   The Dow topped 40,000 for the first time ever, but was unable to close with that historic handle. Concurrently, the S&P tried for its 24th record high this year but failed too. The rise in Treasury yields after stronger than expected import prices, and a drumbeat from Fed officials that rates need to remain high for longer, encouraged profit taking. Most Asian equity markets and European futures have followed Wall Street lower, after US data dented rate cut hikes. Chinese data showing slowed consumption and a drop in home sales, although industrial production numbers looked relatively robust. Japan’s core consumer inflation slowed for a 2nd month in a row in April from a year earlier, while the core consumer prices index (CPI) is expected to decelerate to 2.2% from 2.6% in March, the lowest level in 3 months, but still at or above the central bank’s 2% target for more than two years. Financial Markets Performance: The USDIndex firmed slightly to 104.518 and up from the day’s nadir of 104.080. But it held a 104 handle for a second straight day. It traded above the 105 level from April 10 until May 15. Silver has surged nearly 25% this year, outpacing Gold and becoming a top-performing commodity, though it remains relatively inexpensive compared to gold. Both metals have hit record highs due to central-bank buying and increased interest in China. USOil is 0.75% higher at $79.23. Market Trends:   All three major US indexes closed slightly in the red after posting all-time highs on Wednesday. The NASDAQ closed with a -0.26% decline, while the S&P500 lost -0.21%, and the Dow was off -0.1% at 39,869. It was a corrective day for Treasuries too. Bonds unwound part of their recent rally that took rates down to the lows since early April. Always trade with strict risk management.
