This video will take you through the main buy and sell trade set-ups for the "One Day Swing Trades" (ODST)  The learning curve is typically very quick but be sure to refer back to this video as needed.

Please Note:  In the video we show you how to synch time zones between your MetaTrader server and New York time zone that we use standard.  The example in the video works exactly as you'll see it for MT4 brokers that are GMT +2 which is fairly common (FXDD, etc..) use Start: 0000 End:  300

NY Time Zone Brokers (Oanda) use Start:  1700 End: 2000

GMT no shift brokers (IBFX)  Start:  2200  End:  0100

GMT + 1 shift brokers (Alpari) Start:  2300 End: 0200

GMT +2 shift brokers (FXDD) Start: 0000 End:  0300  (what we show in the training video) 

 It's just a matter of determining what time zone your broker runs their server under.   Let us know if you need any assistance - and be sure to watch this video we did that covers this in more detail (click the link)  

 Continue onto Module 2 will covers using the ODST on 4 Hour Charts when done with the below:

The following short video discusses the use of the One Day Swing Trades with 4 Hour Charts.  Most of our main Trade Plans use the 1 Hour Time Interval Charts but we have a few that work well with 4 Hour Charts.  Some of you might prefer the 4 Hour Chart or want to consider using them in addition.  This shows you how it will look and how to match up the times with your charting platform as well.  The next Module 3 covers a very important topic - inputting your customized market settings so go there next.

This is a very important and fun video.  Here's where you'll use the Customized Trade Plans that have been set-up for the suggested markets and personalize the One Day Swing Trades to each market.  This ensures the best potential performance.  Watch the video here and be sure to go to the latest One Day Swing Trades Trade Plans . The next Module 4 covers a short discussion on best times to place your trades so proceed there next after this video.

This short video just discusses a common question we receive -- will I miss trades if I don't catch them in real-time?  The best news is given the number of markets we trade, there's opportunities everyday - no matter what time zone you currently reside in.  We'll discuss this here -- and then the final Module 5 is only if you use Tradestation otherwise your basic training ends here.

This video is just a short demonstration of the ODST running on Tradestation.  The ODST works quite effectively on Tradestation so if this is your preferred platform you'll find it does everything you need for the 1 Hour and 4 Hour ODST Trade Plans.

One Day Swing Trades Times for MetaTrader4 

Once you have gone through the Training Modules you are ready to set-up your forex markets to trade the ODST. IMPORTANT: Do not start here - Click the Set-Up Tab above if you're new to the ODST....Below you'll find the suggested markets, time intervals and customized settings that we have found work best for these markets. We may update this periodically if we find even better settings for a particular market. Be sure to watch Module #3 to learn how to change your settings to match the below

Important Notes:

1. The current Markets with One Hour Trade Plans are:

EURUSD, EURCAD, EURJPY, AUDUSD, EURAUD

If you've been with us a while you know this is a shorter list than typical.  The reason is forex volatility is down substantially in recent months so we want to always focus where the most reliable action is.  This gets reviewed monthly and any changes are made as needed (last update prior was January, 2012)

Good News:  All markets except EURUSD - you can simply focus on the last setup bar in the Start Time/End Time range and that's your set-up.  No longer do you need to potentially return once every hour for 3 or 4 hours.  Now you simply come in after the "End Time" and place that one single trade and you're done.  The only exception is the EURUSD where you will still get best results looking at both set-ups and taking the latest one - unless the first hour one triggered prior.  

The default Start/Stop time is varies as you can see above.  When the Start Time says 17:00:00 that means starting at 5:00pm EST (New York Time) and ends as discussed above let's say 21:00:00 means 9:00pm EST (NY Time)  Keep in mind if you enter this into Tradestation you'll be looking for 18:00 to 21:00 because Tradestation uses the ending time of each hourly bar to name that bar, and MetaTrader for example uses the starting time of the bar (17:00)

For example, if you see above 20:00 to 22:00 that means you shoudl see two potential entries on your chart, at the close of 20:00 - 21:00 and the close of 21:00 - 22:00 hourly charts.  You can take whichever trade is farthest to triggering.  If the first hour chart was a short, and the second was a buy - you are only going to buy.  The final plot always determines the direction - and then just take the trade farthest to market.  This way you'll never miss a trade and do not have to check hourly like before.

Remember, if your broker runs on other time zones to convert these EST times to GMT, or GMT with a shift since some brokers are GMT with a shift of +1 or +2 for example.  The key is you want the setup bars plotting between the exact times given above in New York time.  You just want your chart to show the setups on the same hourly bars.

2. How many markets to follow? Most people follow 3 to 5 markets. You certainly do not have to trade that many, but if you find you are sometimes missing trades due to coming in later then it's smart to track more markets -- you'll find more unfilled opportunities to take advantage of each day

Since you can wait until after either 21:00 (9pm EST) or 22:00 (10pm EST) you really could follow all the markets after 10pm EST (you might on occasion miss an early trigger on the ones that setup at 9pm EST) - but your time on the EURUSD is the one exception that happens really in the middle of the European market hours.

Reminder - just because you don't place the trade right at setup you can come back hours later and if the trade is still not triggered, or you can get the original entry - place it at that time

3. EURUSD requires a 30 minute chart.  It simply performs far better than the hourly.  On the EURAUD we give you two options - a 60 minute (1 hour) chart or a 4 hour chart.  Metatrader users usually it's difficult to line up 4 hour charts so unless your broker charts on EST (NY Time) we would suggest just focusing on the 1 hour chart plan.

In this video I walk you through a couple of weeks trading the EURAUD.  The same approach/rules apply to the Trade Plans above so this should help you visually see how the simplified rules will make trading the ODST even easier.  Let us know if any questions.
