- 1:09this is basically our day trading
- 1:10strategy it's a day trading I make one I
- 1:12would make I make about two hours in a
- 1:14week on Globex
- 1:16um and that's enough for me I'm happy
- 1:18with that perform an ftml account it's
- 1:20it's perfect so I'm happy with that to
- 1:23better understand the term clobex let's
- 1:25review some history the Chicago
- 1:27Mercantile Exchange now the CE group
- 1:30created an electronic trading platform
- 1:32called the Globex trading system in the
- 1:35mid 80s
- 1:36although this platform was introduced
- 1:38early on electronic trading did not
- 1:41become popular until the mid 90s when
- 1:44the e-mini stock index Futures contracts
- 1:46were introduced
- 1:47the CME Group created this new style of
- 1:50all execution to compete with the eurox
- 1:52exchange its International competitor
- 1:55which is an all-electronically traded
- 1:57Exchange in the United States Futures
- 2:00exchanges used to rely on open out guide
- 2:02trading Pits on the exchange trading
- 2:04floors which required a large amount of
- 2:06personal to run smoothly and led to
- 2:09higher operating costs
- 2:11however CME Group recognized the need to
- 2:14develop an electronic trading platform
- 2:15to stay ahead of its International
- 2:17competitors it's worth noting that
- 2:20Futures exchanges were initially
- 2:21designed to serve a specific entity the
- 2:24commercial Trader the market
- 2:26participants that trade over 60 of
- 2:29Futures contracts daily volume are
- 2:31typically big corporations
- 2:34the Futures exchanges earn profits for
- 2:37every Trader contract commercial Traders
- 2:39or speculators who trade a contract pay
- 2:41commission that includes an exchange fee
- 2:44collected by The Exchange if an exchange
- 2:47uses trading pits and has high operating
- 2:49expenses they pass on the cost to the
- 2:52customers through higher fees per
- 2:54transaction on the other hand an
- 2:56exchange that operates on an
- 2:58all-electronic platform has lower
- 3:00operating costs and can offer lower fees
- 3:03to customers this can attract customers
- 3:05away from the exchanges charging higher
- 3:07fees the CME Group introduced electronic
- 3:10trading to its customers to retain their
- 3:12large commercial accounts this enabled
- 3:15nearly continuous trading in the Futures
- 3:18Market with orders being filled in the
- 3:20trading pits during the day and
- 3:22electronically After Hours the members
- 3:25of The Exchange who were Floor Traders
- 3:28did not permit the club electronic
- 3:30platform to operate during the trading
- 3:32pit hours because they depended on the
- 3:35orders coming to The Exchange through
- 3:37them to earn money as market makers so
- 3:39there were two trading sessions open
- 3:42outcry and electronic trading regular
- 3:45trading hours rth refer to the market
- 3:47trading sessions during the day while
- 3:49the trading pits were open after the rth
- 3:52session the clobex electronic session
- 3:54also known as the extended trading hours
- 3:57eth would trade until about 30 minutes
- 4:00before the next rth session opened again
- 4:03after going public on the NASDAQ Stock
- 4:06Exchange the same e-group embraced
- 4:08Electric trading with the clobex
- 4:10platform alongside to the open outcry
- 4:12lth session as a result electronic
- 4:15trading now accounts for most of the
- 4:17Futures volume however the rth session
- 4:20Remains the busiest even though it now
- 4:23uses electronic trading in the Globex
- 4:25System trading is done electronically
- 4:28using computerized orders including
- 4:30algorithms or manual buys and cells made
- 4:32by Traders this type of trading runs
- 4:35almost continuously 24 hours a day with
- 4:38occasional shutdown periods for
- 4:40maintenance and specific hours of
- 4:42closure the clobex system refers to the
- 4:45electronic trading platform used during
- 4:47the overnight hours
- 4:49while some Traders mistakenly refer to
- 4:52it as a session it's more accurate to
- 4:55think of it as a system so when you hear
- 4:58someone say they are trading the clobex
- 5:00session they actually mean they're
- 5:02trading on the electronic platform
- 5:04during those hours to provide additional
- 5:07details about the Globex session it is
- 5:09an electronic trading platform that
- 5:11operates during extended hours and is
- 5:14also known as the overnight session
- 5:16specifically for the s p NASDAQ Russell
- 5:20and DOW Jones the Globex session
- 5:22commands at 6 PM standard eastern time
- 5:24and ends at 9 30 am standard Eastern
- 5:27Time to clarify clubex is a system that
- 5:31trades continuously this means you can
- 5:34place a trade during either the regular
- 5:36or the old pitch session hours and it
- 5:39will still be part of the Globex system
- 5:40because it is traded electronically
- 5:42however for Simplicity and to
- 5:45distinguish regular extended trading
- 5:48hours we need to assign them time slots
- 5:50the trading hours have an extended
- 5:52session from 6 pm to 9 30 a.m Eastern
- 5:56Time known as the Globex session at 9 30
- 5:59am the regular trading hours or day
- 6:01session for Equity indices begin until 5
- 6:0415 PM eastern time when the new day
- 6:06officially starts to summarize the
- 6:08focuses on the clobex session from 6 pm
- 6:11to 9 30 a.m eastern time now let me
- 6:13share my screen now to start a strategy
- 6:16portion so what is the clubex breakout
- 6:18paid and how does it work this is the
- 6:21strategy portion of our discussion now
- 6:23during the overnight session the
- 6:25extended trading hours highs and the
- 6:27lows are formed on the chart you can see
- 6:30a high and the low that were set during
- 6:32this time which will help to set up the
- 6:35Trap
- 6:36today's session begins many Traders are
- 6:39familiar with the Globex High and the
- 6:41low price ranges we plan on using these
- 6:45ranges to catch novice Traders so for
- 6:47now our Focus will be on identifying the
- 6:50high and low prices during the extended
- 6:52Globex trading hours
- 6:56when the price rises above the highest
- 6:59point reached during Globex trading
- 7:01hours and regular trading has begun many
- 7:04Traders they become bullish and either
- 7:06buy the breakout or prepare to do so now
- 7:10when this happens when traders buy Above
- 7:13the clubex high into Supply level that's
- 7:16what we want to see the bullish or bulk
- 7:19low back strap is set and from there we
- 7:22look to sell from those breakout buyers
- 7:24again key thing here when it happens
- 7:27into a supply level that's very very
- 7:30important for us we don't want to just
- 7:32short randomly you want to show it in a
- 7:35supply zone so just to recap here price
- 7:38breaks above the Globex High into a
- 7:41supply level then we want to start
- 7:43looking to take that short trade we
- 7:45would set all this up ahead of time but
- 7:48that would trigger our entry to short we
- 7:51would be shorting from those people that
- 7:53are buying the breakouts above the
- 7:55global High
- 7:57now it works both ways obviously here
- 8:00when price breaks below the Globex slow
- 8:03so we are looking at the lows now from
- 8:06the low of that extended trading hours
- 8:09once the regular trading session begins
- 8:11again 9 30 standard eastern time once
- 8:15price breaks below the clubex low these
- 8:18trailers become bearish and they start
- 8:20planning for breakouts or taking
- 8:22breakouts in other words they are
- 8:24shorting so if they short into a demand
- 8:27level the bare Club is set and that's
- 8:30where we would be looking to buy from
- 8:33them so you can see on this chart here
- 8:35price trades below the clubex low right
- 8:40into rarely based ready demand Zone and
- 8:42that would have been a beautiful trade
- 8:44for us and not a good trade for those
- 8:46short sellers right below the clubex law
- 8:49and that is the Trap ladies and
- 8:52gentlemen all right so let's talk about
- 8:55how we do set up this trip how how do we
- 8:58make it easier for ourselves to place
- 9:00this trade well the first thing that you
- 9:03want to be aware of is this is really
- 9:05this whole club strap here it's really
- 9:07set up for the equity indices primarily
- 9:10could we use it in other markets sure we
- 9:13could try to see if it works well in
- 9:15other markets but really this is mainly
- 9:18in equity index type of play here so the
- 9:22s p NASDAQ the Russell the Dow Jones
- 9:25those are the markets that we want to
- 9:27focus employing this particular strategy
- 9:30all right let's take it a little bit
- 9:32more in a detailed look here in this
- 9:35chart here you can see that we have the
- 9:38regular trading hours or the day session
- 9:41the day hours now keep in mind this is
- 9:44all in standard eastern time so please
- 9:46make sure your chart settings has to be
- 9:49set to kind of exchange time as well now
- 9:53the chart that you see there is a day
- 9:57session of one particular day then once
- 10:02the day session is over and we begin the
- 10:04clawbacks or overnight session the
- 10:06extended trading hours it would look
- 10:08something like this during that time of
- 10:11the extended trading hours we would form
- 10:13a low price and we would form a low and
- 10:16the price would form a high so we would
- 10:18mark off there's a low and there's a
- 10:21high
- 10:23then on the current day here we are the
- 10:26regular trading hours or the day session
- 10:28begins again and we can see that here so
- 10:32really three parts to this here the
- 10:35prior day the clobex high and low and
- 10:38then the current day now during that
- 10:40clubex high-end and low one thing that
- 10:43we want to look for is well look at the
- 10:46range here the high to low range during
- 10:50that extended trading hours sometimes
- 10:52you get really big ranges you drain huge
- 10:56ranges overnight and that's typically
- 10:57caused by some big events either in Asia
- 11:00or in Europe that's causing a strong
- 11:02drop or a strong rallying price but a
- 11:04lot of times you'll get a very small or
- 11:07tight ranges too so the ranges will vary
- 11:09from day to day let's go through the
- 11:13step-by-step process of identifying the
- 11:15clobex traps I suggest writing these
- 11:18steps down or keeping them handy for
- 11:20future reference to clarify here are the
- 11:24steps Step 1 check the chart for Globex
- 11:26opening time which is 6 PM standard
- 11:29Eastern Time Step 2 note when clubex
- 11:32close which marks the start of the
- 11:34regular trading hours at 9 30 am
- 11:36standard Eastern Time step 3 identify
- 11:40the highest price that was made during
- 11:42the extended trading hours as clobex
- 11:44High Step 4 identify the lowest price
- 11:47that was made during the extended
- 11:49trading hours overnight hours as clubex
- 11:51low step 5 is to look for Supply zones
- 11:55above the clobex high but it's possible
- 11:57that there won't be any if there aren't
- 12:00any good quality zones then we won't
- 12:02take that trade step six is to identify
- 12:05the margins below the Globex law but we
- 12:07only want to focus on good quality zones
- 12:10step 7 is to get ready to take trades
- 12:13that meet our strategy Rules by setting
- 12:15up Trade Stop entry Target and position
- 12:18size let's walk through these here one
- 12:21step at a time here we go step one you
- 12:24see the chart example identify the
- 12:26chromex opening time 6 PM standard
- 12:29Eastern Time
- 12:30step two identify the Globex Closing
- 12:33Time 9 30 a.m standard Eastern Time
- 12:38step 3 identify the highest price that
- 12:40was formed during the Globex session
- 12:41which you can see the arrow pointing to
- 12:44it there
- 12:46step 4 identify the lowest price point
- 12:49that was formed during that extended
- 12:51trading hours step 5 identify any Supply
- 12:54zones that are above the Globex high
- 12:56that are located ideally in your time
- 13:00window of opportunity from 8 AM to 11 am
- 13:02your lower time frame high quality Zone
- 13:05should be located in your window of
- 13:07opportunity and we get ready to trade
- 13:11those if any remember if there was
- 13:14nothing there of any good quality then
- 13:17just pass on the trade
- 13:20so same for the demand zones on through
- 13:24your in Step six identify any demand
- 13:27zones that are located in your timing of
- 13:30opportunity ideally from 8 AM to 11AM
- 13:34below the global slope if there was
- 13:36nothing there again of any good quality
- 13:39then just pass on the trade
- 13:41and step 7 would be to go ahead and
- 13:45prepare the trade that meets your
- 13:47strategy trading rules all right ladies
- 13:51and gentlemen speaking of rules here's
- 13:53some rules for here some more routes for
- 13:55you Globe extract trading routes let's
- 13:57walk through this here for a bear trap
- 13:59step one we call this the trigger price
- 14:02breaks below the Globex low the mass
- 14:05reaction again Traders become bears and
- 14:07they plan for breakout or they plan to
- 14:10sell or they do sell to the downside and
- 14:14a trap condition is if they sell into a
- 14:18demand level payload X payloaded Globex
- 14:21law that's right where we want them
- 14:23where we trap the Bears so what's our
- 14:27action our action would be to buy from
- 14:29that mass reaction of sellers right into
- 14:32a demand Zone that is located in our
- 14:34time window of opportunity so that is
- 14:37the bear trap so we are trapping the
- 14:39bearish Traders so and the bull trap
- 14:41just the opposite really price breaks
- 14:44above the clubex high they are bullish
- 14:46that's the mass reaction Traders become
- 14:48bullish hence the bull trap and plan for
- 14:51breakout to buy or they do Buy
- 14:54step 3 Supply level above throwback type
- 14:57that's the Trap condition so if they are
- 15:00buying into that Supply Zone what do we
- 15:03do that's step four we sell or short
- 15:05into the mass reaction for those buyers
- 15:08all right let's walk through a few
- 15:11different examples here some real trade
- 15:13examples all right this first one that
- 15:16we see here we have a chart with the
- 15:18club X high club xlop that's our
- 15:20extended trading hours your clubex range
- 15:22from high to low and price breaks out
- 15:25above the topic side so again think
- 15:27what's our play here well when price
- 15:29breaks above the Globex High noise
- 15:32Traders they become bullish they start
- 15:34to buy they buy above that that's the
- 15:37breakout trade but look to the left and
- 15:39you can see highlighted over there on
- 15:41the left we have a supply Zone that was
- 15:43created in our window of opportunity
- 15:45from 8 AM to 11AM and that is where we
- 15:48want to sell short and you can see this
- 15:51one worked out quite well we have a very
- 15:53strong move to the down one side there
- 15:56all right here's the demand zone so this
- 16:00one would be a bear trap here's how
- 16:02clobex high too low here price breaks
- 16:06below the clubex low right into the
- 16:09monsoon off to the left over there and
- 16:11we have a nice move to the upside so
- 16:14there is your bear trap so again wait
- 16:16for price to trade below the Globex law
- 16:19right into the Milestone that was
- 16:21created in our window of opportunity and
- 16:23then would would basically set up our
- 16:25bear trap so now here's another example
- 16:28clubex high and low are highlighted
- 16:30there now take a look at this one
- 16:32similar scenario in that you have the
- 16:34clobex high and low price broke above
- 16:37the Globex High we did have a supply
- 16:39Zone off to the left over there but look
- 16:42what happened it kept going higher so
- 16:44pull trap did not work why this is where
- 16:47you really need to blend this out ahead
- 16:49of time and this is important that you
- 16:52understand this just because you have a
- 16:54strategy doesn't mean it's going to work
- 16:56every single time that's just trading it
- 16:58doesn't work every single time
- 16:59unfortunately that's just the way the
- 17:02way how it things work so we have to ask
- 17:05ourselves well self why did this trade
- 17:08did not work what do you think are some
- 17:10reasons why well that's going to get
- 17:13back to our total overall strategy we
- 17:16would ask ourselves well
- 17:19when we went short here
- 17:21was it low in the location was it high
- 17:24in the location was it in equilibrium
- 17:27was it a good quality Supply Zone what
- 17:30was the trend so that would play into
- 17:33effect so we want to go back and look at
- 17:35this when we set this trade up initially
- 17:38and really ask ourselves does this meet
- 17:41the requirements of a good trade
- 17:44am I high in the location of very high
- 17:47in a location if so then this trade has
- 17:50a much higher chance of working out uh
- 17:54working out compared to if it's very low
- 17:57or low in the location so keep that in
- 18:00mind when you're looking at these trades
- 18:02ask yourself where am I in terms of
- 18:05location and obviously what's my Trend
- 18:09what are my zone qualifiers is it is
- 18:12that zone good or not so all things like
- 18:15that
- 18:16remember we're looking for the total
- 18:19trade here the total package not just
- 18:21because price breaks above the Globex
- 18:23higher then we short it's a lot more to
- 18:26it than that and that's why I wanted to
- 18:28show you this example here to get you
- 18:30thinking about it ahead of time
- 18:33all right let's summarize the rules
- 18:36what is the ideal Soul it is a zone that
- 18:39is outside of clobex high and low and
- 18:42created between 8 AM and 11 am hence we
- 18:45want to trade Supply zones above the
- 18:47Globex high or demands on speed lower
- 18:49Globex law that are created between 8 AM
- 18:51and 11 am for increased probability of
- 18:54success
- 18:55and what is a bad Zone well a zone that
- 18:58is in between Globex high and low more
- 19:02summary here during the club accession
- 19:05eth highs and lows are created as soon
- 19:08as the rth begins most Traders will look
- 19:11at these clubex highs and laws as
- 19:14support and resistant areas as soon as
- 19:16the price breaks through the clubex low
- 19:18most Traders become bearish and plan a
- 19:21breakout trade to the downside a short
- 19:24trade if there's a demand Zone
- 19:26underneath the clubex laws Bears will be
- 19:29trapped as we would be buying from these
- 19:31sellers the bull trap is the exact
- 19:33opposite it is applicable to add Es at
- 19:36NQ at rty at ym and their cfts all right
- 19:41perfect that's it for this lesson stay
- 19:43tuned for the next lesson happy and safe
- 19:45trading everyone
