Envision a life free from the constraints of traditional employment, where you no longer trade your time and energy for an unsecured financial future. Instead, you could become the master of your destiny, empowered with the knowledge and tools to shape your financial well-being.

Let the SwingArm Trading System guide you on this exciting journey toward financial independence and self-fulfillment.

Hello Everyone, I trust you’re all having a good day! As you are all aware, I’ve been working diligently to provide you with access to our trading system and have been readily available to guide you through its workings. Despite offering countless pre-scheduled, no-cost meetings, it’s unfortunate that the turnout has been minimal.

I do understand that many of you have other commitments, and managing smaller trading accounts may often lead to emotionally charged trading decisions. However, I’d like to reiterate the vital steps to becoming successful traders: firstly, getting the right education, secondly, having sufficient time at your disposal, thirdly, executing your trading plan, and lastly, consistency in these steps.

Hesitation in trading often stems from gaps in understanding, lack of self-confidence, emotional triggers, and unrealistic expectations of guaranteed success. Accepting and calculating risks before executing your trade setups is fundamental. To simplify, our system can be easily understood if you remember two things.

First, energy is measured by the swingarm bucket and its breaking time. Second, the source of the energy is likely to influence which internal swingarms break along the journey.

You’ll find a wealth of resources – including videos, website content, and discussions in this Discord server – that can help you understand the system in depth. If there are still concepts that aren’t clear or if you feel certain areas of your knowledge need reinforcement, please post your questions in the designated Questions channel.

This not only allows me to address your queries when time permits but also benefits others who might have similar doubts. Until now, there have been only a handful of questions asked, leading me to assume that you all have mastered the system and are reaping financial rewards from it.

The lack of feedback, however, is quite puzzling and does create distractions for me.

I want to clarify that while I am passionate about teaching this system, my primary income comes from trading, not from the educational subscription. Hence, if you’re considering one-on-one coaching, please understand that it might be a significant expense, especially for those on a tight budget. That being said, it can prove to be a worthwhile investment for larger account traders, depending on the length and intensity of instruction needed. Remember, we’re all here to learn and grow.

Let’s make the most of this space and help each other succeed. Enjoy the Journey, Jose A.

Characteristics of SwingArm Trading System

Our Swingarm Trading System is a robust tool that offers invaluable insights about trend directions. These clues are given through five key elements: Regular SwingArms, which act as Support and Resistance Areas of Interest, High-Pressure SwingArms, representing newly created buy or sell buckets from previous support or resistance levels, Pressure Trendlines, Pressure Extremes, indicating oversold or overbought areas of interest, And finally, Pressure Waves, which can be either bullish or bearish.

If you’re finding your trading decisions impacted by personal emotions or limited resources, this can lead to unfavorable outcomes and potentially cause failure in your trading journey. Trading without a strong psychological understanding can lead to long-term frustration, possibly prompting you to stop trading altogether. It really is as straightforward as that.

To underline the importance of psychology in trading, I’d like to share that even after my years in the industry, I still regularly work with two psychology coaches. It’s an integral part of maintaining success in this field. Let’s all continue to strive for growth, both in our trading knowledge and understanding of our own psychological mechanisms at play.

We’ve noticed a significant breakdown of the 15-minute high-pressure zone that originated from the 4-hour extreme sell zone. This movement presents us with a promising sell setup. Based on our current calculations, we are eyeing a target of 20 points, which could bring us toward the 4160 area. Please note, this is a potential setup and, as always, please exercise your due diligence and risk management strategies while considering this trade.

A crucial point I’d like to emphasize is that our ultimate interim target might be 100% extreme on the 4-hour chart. For now, the 15 minutes is the setup Short.

The 4160 area is also a potential BUY Setup. Take your pick.

It might be 100% extreme on the 4-hour chart. For now, the 15 minutes is the setup Short. This was a potential outcome.

@Donnie Traylor, I appreciate you sharing your current challenge with the Swingarm Trading System and the pressure setup. Indeed, it might seem counterintuitive at first when we see a strong selling signal for YELLOW at 4179 on the 15-minute chart while simultaneously observing a Strong Buyers Bucket from lower timeframes, Constant Zone Buys, and Regression Channels pointing upwards.

This scenario does happen in trading, and it’s part of the dynamic nature of markets.

Here’s a possible approach:

Patience and Confirmation:

One essential aspect of successful trading is patience. While we have these conflicting signals, it might be wise to wait until one side confirms its strength. In other words, either wait for the selling pressure to abate and for buying signals to strengthen, or vice versa.

Risk Management:

Always remember to stick to your risk management principles. It’s particularly important when facing conflicting signals. Ensure you’re only risking a small portion of your account on any trade.

Re-evaluation:

Regularly review and reassess the situation. Market conditions can change quickly, and what seemed like a strong sell signal could change given new information or market developments.

Learning Opportunity:

Every such instance is an opportunity to learn more about the market’s behavior. Keep a record of this event, noting down all the signals and what transpired in the end. This could be an invaluable reference for future similar scenarios.

Remember, the objective isn’t to win every single trade but to make informed decisions that will be profitable in the long run. I hope this helps and if you have further questions, feel free to ask.

Whoever provides the correct answer to the above question will be rewarded with a one-on-one coaching session lasting one hour, where we will delve deeper into the SwingArm Trading System. This is a great opportunity to sharpen your understanding and skills, so don't miss out! 

A fundamental aspect of our Swingarm Trading System hasn’t been fully addressed yet, which is vital to comprehending trade setups as they occur. The concept is: Internal vs. External SwingArms. Your understanding of this principle can significantly influence the results of your trades.

Let me share a brief explanation of these terms as they relate to our system: SwingArms are crucial elements that interact in harmony within the system. Sometimes they move in the same direction, and sometimes they diverge, resulting in a “squeeze.” Each Swingarm embodies the energy that can influence the price direction. The larger the Swingarm’s timeframe, the more considerable the energy for a potential response when the price reaches its zones.

Understanding the concept of energy and potential momentum from a higher timeframe is crucial for traders. If you focus only on low-timeframe trends, there’s a risk of losses if the price action reverses with significant energy due to interaction with a high-timeframe zone, level, or area of interest. I highly recommend taking some time to study and understand this concept. It’s detailed on our website, and it’s something you can dive into at your own pace.

Knowledge of these principles will significantly enhance your trading proficiency and could potentially improve your financial outcomes. Remember, trading is not merely a hobby but a commitment to learning and growth. Investing time to understand these key principles is an investment in your trading future.

Today’s 15 Minute Short Entry and Management of the position to close it at -$100.00

I wanted to emphasize an important point about our Swingarm Trading System, particularly concerning the relationship between different timeframes. The 15-minute swingarm is a smaller swingarm timeframe within our active pair, which consists of the 8-hour and 4-hour swingarms. To answer the questions raised yesterday, the bounce we witnessed was primarily instigated by the 8-hour swingarm.

Consequently, the target of this bounce would be the zones identified on its pair partner, the 4-hour swingarm. It’s essential to remember this relationship as you analyze the charts and make your trading decisions. The intricate interplay between these different swingarm timeframes can offer us valuable insights into potential market movements and help us position our trades more effectively. Should you have further queries or if any aspect of this explanation needs more clarity, please feel free to ask.

I wanted to clarify something about my default stop loss in our trading system. While it is set at 15 points or $750 per ES1 Contract, this doesn’t necessarily mean we’ll allow it to close at a maximum loss. If the trade setup fails, my approach is to close the trade essentially at breakeven, what we often refer to as “scratching” the trade.

The idea is not to remain overly hopeful or pray that the price might reverse when the Swingarm has confirmed a bullish break. It’s crucial to acknowledge when buyers have taken control. Our strategy should reflect market realities, allowing us to effectively manage risk and avoid unnecessary losses. In our trading journey, maintaining a rational perspective and making data-driven decisions are as important as having a sound trading strategy.

INTERIM PRICE TARGET 4220.

Keeping in mind that 4200 (prior resistance may hold).

Just a quick update regarding our Swingarm Trading System and how to gauge who is in control of the market. Currently, judging by the most recent swingarm pattern One Minute (28/6), it appears that buyers are persistently pushing the market higher. After hitting the 4-hour target, we are now observing intersecting trendlines above, indicating our interim targets.

The first one lies at the 4200 mark, with the next target situated at the 2D 100% level of 4220. Further up the line, we see the 3-Day level at 4285. (Magnets) Understanding these targets and observing how the market responds as it reaches them can provide critical insights into potential shifts in market control. The change of control will be displayed live by the swingarm lower timeframes. No need to guess. As always, it’s crucial to stay informed and adapt your trading strategy according to these evolving market conditions.

[One fundamental truth about trading we should always remember is this: we cannot predict the future with certainty. However, what we can do is identify Swingarm areas of interest that provide us with high-reward opportunities at low risk. This understanding is crucial in the Swingarm Trading System. Consider the contrasting situations of yesterday’s Buy entry and today’s Sell entries.

Yesterday, we had a substantial BUY Bucket, offering a significant reward. In comparison, today, we faced a smaller Risk SELL Bucket. This ability to adjust and capitalize on such varying market conditions is the key to growing your accounts significantly. Our system is designed to help us make the most of these opportunities, always aiming for high rewards while limiting our risk. This strategy is what will consistently steer us toward success in the long term.

I wanted to bring your attention to a possible development in the Nasdaq. Should it manage to break above the 3 Standard Deviation mark, we might witness a rally toward higher levels of resistance, particularly those found on higher timeframes. Is this likely to happen? In the world of trading, we have to acknowledge that anything is possible. We don’t operate on guesses but rather on careful analysis of market conditions.

It’s worth noting that we are currently at extremes, and yet, buyers continue to show strength and push the market upwards. As always, remember to factor such scenarios into your risk management plans. It’s crucial to be prepared for different market conditions and adapt our strategies accordingly.

Keep in mind the new 15-Min Buy Bucket Is still a small timeframe setup among the larger timeframes. Manage accordingly.

For now, it is a Buy Bucket. Or a Sell 28/6 above.

More likely a SELL for me. But will consider the buy depending on price action/momentum
