[Understanding the Premium] by Traders Laboratory

The premium is a useful tool to confirm your entry or your current position. A buy progam kicking in when you are long is usually a good confirmation of the trend. I use premium at pivot points as a further confirmation to see if price will hold or fold.

Re: [Understanding the Premium] by Traders Laboratory

It is the first time for me to learn about premium, thanks Soultrader for excellent explanation. In the video you used ES premium vs YM, what's the reason? are there any cases you will watch the YM premium for trading signals?

Re: [Understanding the Premium] by Traders Laboratory

Thank you--very helpful. Question about data on indexarb.com--
When trading the YMs, do you use the S&P numbers and do you your "sell active", "sell threshold", and same one for buy side?

I appreciate your assistance, and the site.

Hi, I am not familiar with a site that provides YM premium levels. If you are aware of this, please share it with us.

The YM mimics the ES in terms of movement which is S&P premium can be used for the YM.

If you scroll down on indexarb.com you will see a section labeled "Our Trading Guidelines". Those are the numbers I use.

Re: [Understanding the Premium] by Traders Laboratory

Look at vidoe very carefully at opening. For the price run up 1st, but look at Premium, it formed a down channel. Divergence of this kind is very powerful indication that the opening up run is usually a fake out. Pattern of this kind is very useful on gap day. gives you better indication if the gap will get filled or not.
