Looking For A Day Trading Strategy?
Learn How To Trade Sideways Markets
With "The Ping Pong Strategy"
Getting whipsawed in a sideways market?
If so, then most probably you are using a trend-following strategy in a sideways market. And that's a common problem: Many traders KNOW how to trade a trending market. You know what they say: "Follow the trend. The trend is your friend!"
Unfortunately the markets are not trending all the time. Sometimes they just move sideways. But as a trader, you MUST be able to trade the market in any condition, whether it's going up, down or sideways.
And you might have heard that markets are only trending 20% of the time. So what do you do when the markets are moving sideways?
Very easy: You use The Ping Pong Strategy.
Discover The Ping Pong Strategy
Take a look at the following chart:
This is a 1-min chart of the e-mini S&P. As you can see, the market is clearly moving sideways, yet we can extract some points in a short period of time applying the rules of the Ping Pong Strategy.
Advantages of The Ping Pong Strategy:
- Great for trading e-mini S&P and Euro FX Futures
As you know, the e-mini S&P is the most popular and most liquid futures contract in the world, and you get great commission rates and low margin requirements.
. - Doesn't need any indicators
A simple bar or candlestick chart is sufficient. Therefore you can trade it with any charting software, as long as you software supports range bars (yes, THAT is the trick!)
. - High accuracy
Like most trend-fading strategies the Ping Pong Strategy has a high winning percentage when traded in a sideways market. That's great for beginners, because a high winning percentage builds confidence in your ability as a trader and your trading strategy.
. - Small but consistent profits
In a trending market, you might hit home-runs, but in a sideways market you are trying to make $50 - $100 per trade per contract. You are basically "nibbling" the market.
. - Works great in a market that trades in a narrow range
The best condiion for this strategy is a range of 3 points for the e-mini S&P and 20-25 ticks for the Euro FX Futures. And as you know, often the markets are tradin in exactly these ranges.
. - You can trade the strategy any time of the day
Morning, lunch, afternoon, evening - it doesn't matter. As long as you can identify a rangebound market, you can trade the strategy. However, trading in the evenings you might be in a trade for a very long time, so the best time to trade this strategy is any time between 9:30am and 4:00pm Eastern Time, which are the regular trading hours for these markets.
Before you get overly excited now, let me issue some warnings:
- Like with any other trading strategy you may lose money
No trading strategy can avoid losses.
. - This strategy is always in the market
Therefore you must stay in front of your computer while trading the strategy.
. - The Ping-Pong Strategy is a strategy for a sideways market
Do NOT use it in a trending market. Use your favorite trend-following strategy instead, and reserve the Ping Pong Strategy for a market that's trading in a narrow range.
