How We Find the Daily Direction

The goal of The Daily Direction is to give you the information you need to make winning trades. 

And the key to my technique is to keep things as straightforward as possible.

That’s why I’ve focused this post on providing the fundamentals of each indicator icon you will see on our time frame charts.

Continue reading to see what they represent and how you can use them in your daily trading setups…

Daily Timeframe Indicators

The daily timeframe allows us to see the overall direction for a futures market at a day-to-day level:

Green Up Arrow: Indicates that the overall direction for the daily timeframe is up. That means the price movement is currently positive. The market is making higher highs and higher lows. We can expect money-making opportunities in the long term.
Red Down Arrow: This means the general direction for the daily timeframe is down. We’re likely to hold off on making long-term trades as we wait for the market to pivot back toward a positive direction.

Hourly Timeframe Indicators

The one-hour timeframe gives us an hourly snapshot of a market’s price movement. 

We use the one-hour timeframe chart to plan our entries…

Green Up Arrow: The current short-term trend as revealed in the one-hour timeframe chart is up. The price of the market continues to track upward, giving us confidence that we can find opportunities to buy the market and make profitable trades.
Red Down Arrow: Our one-hour timeframe chart reveals that the short-term direction for the market is down. This could be due to a retracement (temporary price dip) or a total reversal in the market. This is when we should be cautious with our entry strategy.

Brand New Strategy for Profiting from AI Stocks

There’s a brand-new strategy in 2024 for going after big profits in AI stocks. It has nothing to do with Nvidia, Microsoft, Meta – or any of the big AI stocks the media can’t stop talking about.

It has to do with a fast-moving “backdoor” that has opened in the AI market... A backdoor that could send a very special class of AI stocks rocketing into the stratosphere.
