Emini And Euro Currency Day Trading Method

Emini day trading and currency day trading method based on trading price failure setups, especially those that involve prices from previous price action, as these setups tend to be the ones that have the best breakout and continuation potential.

The Tactical Trader is written to be an day trading method teaching journal - specifically for emini day trading of the russell and euro currency day trading, which is used to give further training on the key aspects of our day trading method.  This is done by discussing various charts-trades from the day, intended to point out various emini and euro day trading setups and/or day trading issues and problems that I am aware of. 

The Tactical Trader is written each trading day and typically includes 2-3 charts with a discussion of around 6-8 different emini and euro currency day trading setups-trading situations and the related trades, along with potential trades that 'shouldn't' be done because they aren't method setups OR potential trades that 'could have' been done in the even the initial trade was missed; The Tactical Trader archives currently includes over 2500 of these emini or euro currency day trading discussions.
