  35. 1:18with that perform an ftml account it's
  36. 1:20it's perfect so I'm happy with that to
  37. 1:23better understand the term clobex let's
  38. 1:25review some history the Chicago
  39. 1:27Mercantile Exchange now the CE group
  40. 1:30created an electronic trading platform
  41. 1:32called the Globex trading system in the
  42. 1:35mid 80s
  43. 1:36although this platform was introduced
  44. 1:38early on electronic trading did not
  45. 1:41become popular until the mid 90s when
  46. 1:44the e-mini stock index Futures contracts
  47. 1:46were introduced
  48. 1:47the CME Group created this new style of
  49. 1:50all execution to compete with the eurox
  50. 1:52exchange its International competitor
  51. 1:55which is an all-electronically traded
  52. 1:57Exchange in the United States Futures
  53. 2:00exchanges used to rely on open out guide
  54. 2:02trading Pits on the exchange trading
  55. 2:04floors which required a large amount of
  56. 2:06personal to run smoothly and led to
  57. 2:09higher operating costs
  58. 2:11however CME Group recognized the need to
  59. 2:14develop an electronic trading platform
  60. 2:15to stay ahead of its International
  61. 2:17competitors it's worth noting that
  62. 2:20Futures exchanges were initially
  63. 2:21designed to serve a specific entity the
  64. 2:24commercial Trader the market
  65. 2:26participants that trade over 60 of
  66. 2:29Futures contracts daily volume are
  67. 2:31typically big corporations
  68. 2:34the Futures exchanges earn profits for
  69. 2:37every Trader contract commercial Traders
  70. 2:39or speculators who trade a contract pay
  71. 2:41commission that includes an exchange fee
  72. 2:44collected by The Exchange if an exchange
  73. 2:47uses trading pits and has high operating
  74. 2:49expenses they pass on the cost to the
  75. 2:52customers through higher fees per
  76. 2:54transaction on the other hand an
  77. 2:56exchange that operates on an
  78. 2:58all-electronic platform has lower
  79. 3:00operating costs and can offer lower fees
  80. 3:03to customers this can attract customers
  81. 3:05away from the exchanges charging higher
  82. 3:07fees the CME Group introduced electronic
  83. 3:10trading to its customers to retain their
  84. 3:12large commercial accounts this enabled
  85. 3:15nearly continuous trading in the Futures
  86. 3:18Market with orders being filled in the
  87. 3:20trading pits during the day and
  88. 3:22electronically After Hours the members
  89. 3:25of The Exchange who were Floor Traders
  90. 3:28did not permit the club electronic
  91. 3:30platform to operate during the trading
  92. 3:32pit hours because they depended on the
  93. 3:35orders coming to The Exchange through
  94. 3:37them to earn money as market makers so
  95. 3:39there were two trading sessions open
  96. 3:42outcry and electronic trading regular
  97. 3:45trading hours rth refer to the market
  98. 3:47trading sessions during the day while
  99. 3:49the trading pits were open after the rth
  100. 3:52session the clobex electronic session
  101. 3:54also known as the extended trading hours
  102. 3:57eth would trade until about 30 minutes
  103. 4:00before the next rth session opened again
  104. 4:03after going public on the NASDAQ Stock
  105. 4:06Exchange the same e-group embraced
  106. 4:08Electric trading with the clobex
  107. 4:10platform alongside to the open outcry
  108. 4:12lth session as a result electronic
  109. 4:15trading now accounts for most of the
  110. 4:17Futures volume however the rth session
  111. 4:20Remains the busiest even though it now
  112. 4:23uses electronic trading in the Globex
  113. 4:25System trading is done electronically
  114. 4:28using computerized orders including
  115. 4:30algorithms or manual buys and cells made
  116. 4:32by Traders this type of trading runs
  117. 4:35almost continuously 24 hours a day with
  118. 4:38occasional shutdown periods for
  119. 4:40maintenance and specific hours of
  120. 4:42closure the clobex system refers to the
  121. 4:45electronic trading platform used during
  122. 4:47the overnight hours
  123. 4:49while some Traders mistakenly refer to
  124. 4:52it as a session it's more accurate to
  125. 4:55think of it as a system so when you hear
  126. 4:58someone say they are trading the clobex
  127. 5:00session they actually mean they're
  128. 5:02trading on the electronic platform
  129. 5:04during those hours to provide additional
  130. 5:07details about the Globex session it is
  131. 5:09an electronic trading platform that
  132. 5:11operates during extended hours and is
  133. 5:14also known as the overnight session
  134. 5:16specifically for the s p NASDAQ Russell
  135. 5:20and DOW Jones the Globex session
  136. 5:22commands at 6 PM standard eastern time
  137. 5:24and ends at 9 30 am standard Eastern
  138. 5:27Time to clarify clubex is a system that
  139. 5:31trades continuously this means you can
  140. 5:34place a trade during either the regular
  141. 5:36or the old pitch session hours and it
  142. 5:39will still be part of the Globex system
  143. 5:40because it is traded electronically
  144. 5:42however for Simplicity and to
  145. 5:45distinguish regular extended trading
  146. 5:48hours we need to assign them time slots
  147. 5:50the trading hours have an extended
  148. 5:52session from 6 pm to 9 30 a.m Eastern
  149. 5:56Time known as the Globex session at 9 30
  150. 5:59am the regular trading hours or day
  151. 6:01session for Equity indices begin until 5
  152. 6:0415 PM eastern time when the new day
  153. 6:06officially starts to summarize the
  154. 6:08focuses on the clobex session from 6 pm
  155. 6:11to 9 30 a.m eastern time now let me
  156. 6:13share my screen now to start a strategy
  157. 6:16portion so what is the clubex breakout
  158. 6:18paid and how does it work this is the
  159. 6:21strategy portion of our discussion now
  160. 6:23during the overnight session the
  161. 6:25extended trading hours highs and the
  162. 6:27lows are formed on the chart you can see
  163. 6:30a high and the low that were set during
  164. 6:32this time which will help to set up the
  165. 6:35Trap
  166. 6:36today's session begins many Traders are
  167. 6:39familiar with the Globex High and the
  168. 6:41low price ranges we plan on using these
  169. 6:45ranges to catch novice Traders so for
  170. 6:47now our Focus will be on identifying the
  171. 6:50high and low prices during the extended
  172. 6:52Globex trading hours
  173. 6:56when the price rises above the highest
  174. 6:59point reached during Globex trading
  175. 7:01hours and regular trading has begun many
  176. 7:04Traders they become bullish and either
  177. 7:06buy the breakout or prepare to do so now
  178. 7:10when this happens when traders buy Above
  179. 7:13the clubex high into Supply level that's
  180. 7:16what we want to see the bullish or bulk
  181. 7:19low back strap is set and from there we
  182. 7:22look to sell from those breakout buyers
  183. 7:24again key thing here when it happens
  184. 7:27into a supply level that's very very
  185. 7:30important for us we don't want to just
  186. 7:32short randomly you want to show it in a
  187. 7:35supply zone so just to recap here price
  188. 7:38breaks above the Globex High into a
  189. 7:41supply level then we want to start
  190. 7:43looking to take that short trade we
  191. 7:45would set all this up ahead of time but
  192. 7:48that would trigger our entry to short we
  193. 7:51would be shorting from those people that
  194. 7:53are buying the breakouts above the
  195. 7:55global High
  196. 7:57now it works both ways obviously here
  197. 8:00when price breaks below the Globex slow
  198. 8:03so we are looking at the lows now from
  199. 8:06the low of that extended trading hours
  200. 8:09once the regular trading session begins
  201. 8:11again 9 30 standard eastern time once
  202. 8:15price breaks below the clubex low these
  203. 8:18trailers become bearish and they start
  204. 8:20planning for breakouts or taking
  205. 8:22breakouts in other words they are
  206. 8:24shorting so if they short into a demand
  207. 8:27level the bare Club is set and that's
  208. 8:30where we would be looking to buy from
  209. 8:33them so you can see on this chart here
  210. 8:35price trades below the clubex low right
  211. 8:40into rarely based ready demand Zone and
  212. 8:42that would have been a beautiful trade
  213. 8:44for us and not a good trade for those
  214. 8:46short sellers right below the clubex law
  215. 8:49and that is the Trap ladies and
  216. 8:52gentlemen all right so let's talk about
  217. 8:55how we do set up this trip how how do we
  218. 8:58make it easier for ourselves to place
  219. 9:00this trade well the first thing that you
  220. 9:03want to be aware of is this is really
  221. 9:05this whole club strap here it's really
  222. 9:07set up for the equity indices primarily
  223. 9:10could we use it in other markets sure we
  224. 9:13could try to see if it works well in
  225. 9:15other markets but really this is mainly
  226. 9:18in equity index type of play here so the
  227. 9:22s p NASDAQ the Russell the Dow Jones
  228. 9:25those are the markets that we want to
  229. 9:27focus employing this particular strategy
  230. 9:30all right let's take it a little bit
  231. 9:32more in a detailed look here in this
  232. 9:35chart here you can see that we have the
  233. 9:38regular trading hours or the day session
  234. 9:41the day hours now keep in mind this is
  235. 9:44all in standard eastern time so please
  236. 9:46make sure your chart settings has to be
  237. 9:49set to kind of exchange time as well now
  238. 9:53the chart that you see there is a day
  239. 9:57session of one particular day then once
  240. 10:02the day session is over and we begin the
  241. 10:04clawbacks or overnight session the
  242. 10:06extended trading hours it would look
  243. 10:08something like this during that time of
  244. 10:11the extended trading hours we would form
  245. 10:13a low price and we would form a low and
  246. 10:16the price would form a high so we would
  247. 10:18mark off there's a low and there's a
  248. 10:21high
  249. 10:23then on the current day here we are the
  250. 10:26regular trading hours or the day session
  251. 10:28begins again and we can see that here so
  252. 10:32really three parts to this here the
  253. 10:35prior day the clobex high and low and
  254. 10:38then the current day now during that
  255. 10:40clubex high-end and low one thing that
  256. 10:43we want to look for is well look at the
  257. 10:46range here the high to low range during
  258. 10:50that extended trading hours sometimes
  259. 10:52you get really big ranges you drain huge
  260. 10:56ranges overnight and that's typically
  261. 10:57caused by some big events either in Asia
  262. 11:00or in Europe that's causing a strong
  263. 11:02drop or a strong rallying price but a
  264. 11:04lot of times you'll get a very small or
  265. 11:07tight ranges too so the ranges will vary
  266. 11:09from day to day let's go through the
  267. 11:13step-by-step process of identifying the
  268. 11:15clobex traps I suggest writing these
  269. 11:18steps down or keeping them handy for
  270. 11:20future reference to clarify here are the
  271. 11:24steps Step 1 check the chart for Globex
  272. 11:26opening time which is 6 PM standard
  273. 11:29Eastern Time Step 2 note when clubex
  274. 11:32close which marks the start of the
  275. 11:34regular trading hours at 9 30 am
  276. 11:36standard Eastern Time step 3 identify
  277. 11:40the highest price that was made during
  278. 11:42the extended trading hours as clobex
  279. 11:44High Step 4 identify the lowest price
  280. 11:47that was made during the extended
  281. 11:49trading hours overnight hours as clubex
  282. 11:51low step 5 is to look for Supply zones
  283. 11:55above the clobex high but it's possible
  284. 11:57that there won't be any if there aren't
  285. 12:00any good quality zones then we won't
  286. 12:02take that trade step six is to identify
  287. 12:05the margins below the Globex law but we
  288. 12:07only want to focus on good quality zones
  289. 12:10step 7 is to get ready to take trades
  290. 12:13that meet our strategy Rules by setting
  291. 12:15up Trade Stop entry Target and position
  292. 12:18size let's walk through these here one
  293. 12:21step at a time here we go step one you
  294. 12:24see the chart example identify the
  295. 12:26chromex opening time 6 PM standard
  296. 12:29Eastern Time
  297. 12:30step two identify the Globex Closing
  298. 12:33Time 9 30 a.m standard Eastern Time
  299. 12:38step 3 identify the highest price that
  300. 12:40was formed during the Globex session
  301. 12:41which you can see the arrow pointing to
  302. 12:44it there
  303. 12:46step 4 identify the lowest price point
  304. 12:49that was formed during that extended
  305. 12:51trading hours step 5 identify any Supply
  306. 12:54zones that are above the Globex high
  307. 12:56that are located ideally in your time
  308. 13:00window of opportunity from 8 AM to 11 am
  309. 13:02your lower time frame high quality Zone
  310. 13:05should be located in your window of
  311. 13:07opportunity and we get ready to trade
  312. 13:11those if any remember if there was
  313. 13:14nothing there of any good quality then
  314. 13:17just pass on the trade
  315. 13:20so same for the demand zones on through
  316. 13:24your in Step six identify any demand
  317. 13:27zones that are located in your timing of
  318. 13:30opportunity ideally from 8 AM to 11AM
  319. 13:34below the global slope if there was
  320. 13:36nothing there again of any good quality
  321. 13:39then just pass on the trade
  322. 13:41and step 7 would be to go ahead and
  323. 13:45prepare the trade that meets your
  324. 13:47strategy trading rules all right ladies
  325. 13:51and gentlemen speaking of rules here's
  326. 13:53some rules for here some more routes for
  327. 13:55you Globe extract trading routes let's
  328. 13:57walk through this here for a bear trap
  329. 13:59step one we call this the trigger price
  330. 14:02breaks below the Globex low the mass
  331. 14:05reaction again Traders become bears and
  332. 14:07they plan for breakout or they plan to
  333. 14:10sell or they do sell to the downside and
  334. 14:14a trap condition is if they sell into a
  335. 14:18demand level payload X payloaded Globex
  336. 14:21law that's right where we want them
  337. 14:23where we trap the Bears so what's our
  338. 14:27action our action would be to buy from
  339. 14:29that mass reaction of sellers right into
  340. 14:32a demand Zone that is located in our
  341. 14:34time window of opportunity so that is
  342. 14:37the bear trap so we are trapping the
  343. 14:39bearish Traders so and the bull trap
  344. 14:41just the opposite really price breaks
  345. 14:44above the clubex high they are bullish
  346. 14:46that's the mass reaction Traders become
  347. 14:48bullish hence the bull trap and plan for
  348. 14:51breakout to buy or they do Buy
  349. 14:54step 3 Supply level above throwback type
  350. 14:57that's the Trap condition so if they are
  351. 15:00buying into that Supply Zone what do we
  352. 15:03do that's step four we sell or short
  353. 15:05into the mass reaction for those buyers
  354. 15:08all right let's walk through a few
  355. 15:11different examples here some real trade
  356. 15:13examples all right this first one that
  357. 15:16we see here we have a chart with the
  358. 15:18club X high club xlop that's our
  359. 15:20extended trading hours your clubex range
  360. 15:22from high to low and price breaks out
  361. 15:25above the topic side so again think
  362. 15:27what's our play here well when price
  363. 15:29breaks above the Globex High noise
  364. 15:32Traders they become bullish they start
  365. 15:34to buy they buy above that that's the
  366. 15:37breakout trade but look to the left and
  367. 15:39you can see highlighted over there on
  368. 15:41the left we have a supply Zone that was
  369. 15:43created in our window of opportunity
  370. 15:45from 8 AM to 11AM and that is where we
  371. 15:48want to sell short and you can see this
  372. 15:51one worked out quite well we have a very
  373. 15:53strong move to the down one side there
  374. 15:56all right here's the demand zone so this
  375. 16:00one would be a bear trap here's how
  376. 16:02clobex high too low here price breaks
  377. 16:06below the clubex low right into the
  378. 16:09monsoon off to the left over there and
  379. 16:11we have a nice move to the upside so
  380. 16:14there is your bear trap so again wait
  381. 16:16for price to trade below the Globex law
  382. 16:19right into the Milestone that was
  383. 16:21created in our window of opportunity and
  384. 16:23then would would basically set up our
  385. 16:25bear trap so now here's another example
  386. 16:28clubex high and low are highlighted
  387. 16:30there now take a look at this one
  388. 16:32similar scenario in that you have the
  389. 16:34clobex high and low price broke above
  390. 16:37the Globex High we did have a supply
  391. 16:39Zone off to the left over there but look
  392. 16:42what happened it kept going higher so
  393. 16:44pull trap did not work why this is where
  394. 16:47you really need to blend this out ahead
  395. 16:49of time and this is important that you
  396. 16:52understand this just because you have a
  397. 16:54strategy doesn't mean it's going to work
  398. 16:56every single time that's just trading it
  399. 16:58doesn't work every single time
  400. 16:59unfortunately that's just the way the
  401. 17:02way how it things work so we have to ask
  402. 17:05ourselves well self why did this trade
  403. 17:08did not work what do you think are some
  404. 17:10reasons why well that's going to get
  405. 17:13back to our total overall strategy we
  406. 17:16would ask ourselves well
  407. 17:19when we went short here
  408. 17:21was it low in the location was it high
  409. 17:24in the location was it in equilibrium
  410. 17:27was it a good quality Supply Zone what
  411. 17:30was the trend so that would play into
  412. 17:33effect so we want to go back and look at
  413. 17:35this when we set this trade up initially
  414. 17:38and really ask ourselves does this meet
  415. 17:41the requirements of a good trade
  416. 17:44am I high in the location of very high
  417. 17:47in a location if so then this trade has
  418. 17:50a much higher chance of working out uh
  419. 17:54working out compared to if it's very low
  420. 17:57or low in the location so keep that in
  421. 18:00mind when you're looking at these trades
  422. 18:02ask yourself where am I in terms of
  423. 18:05location and obviously what's my Trend
  424. 18:09what are my zone qualifiers is it is
  425. 18:12that zone good or not so all things like
  426. 18:15that
  427. 18:16remember we're looking for the total
  428. 18:19trade here the total package not just
  429. 18:21because price breaks above the Globex
  430. 18:23higher then we short it's a lot more to
  431. 18:26it than that and that's why I wanted to
  432. 18:28show you this example here to get you
  433. 18:30thinking about it ahead of time
  434. 18:33all right let's summarize the rules
  435. 18:36what is the ideal Soul it is a zone that
  436. 18:39is outside of clobex high and low and
  437. 18:42created between 8 AM and 11 am hence we
  438. 18:45want to trade Supply zones above the
  439. 18:47Globex high or demands on speed lower
  440. 18:49Globex law that are created between 8 AM
  441. 18:51and 11 am for increased probability of
  442. 18:54success
  443. 18:55and what is a bad Zone well a zone that
  444. 18:58is in between Globex high and low more
  445. 19:02summary here during the club accession
  446. 19:05eth highs and lows are created as soon
  447. 19:08as the rth begins most Traders will look
  448. 19:11at these clubex highs and laws as
  449. 19:14support and resistant areas as soon as
  450. 19:16the price breaks through the clubex low
  451. 19:18most Traders become bearish and plan a
  452. 19:21breakout trade to the downside a short
  453. 19:24trade if there's a demand Zone
  454. 19:26underneath the clubex laws Bears will be
  455. 19:29trapped as we would be buying from these
  456. 19:31sellers the bull trap is the exact
  457. 19:33opposite it is applicable to add Es at
  458. 19:36NQ at rty at ym and their cfts all right
