What is Scalping?

Scalping is the repeated buy and sell for relatively small profits. Scalping is also called “Cash Flow” trading because it is designed  Scalping is designed to take advantage of a very simple market fact that markets will have a sustained trend approximately 30% of the time and will trade in a sideways pattern or have moderate trends approximately 70% of the time. The net effect is the Treasury$calper has a relatively high win/loss ratio by playing with the percentages instead of against them.  This makes it easier for most traders to follow than breakout systems which rely on repeated large moves to succeed.

Of course there are many ways to Scalp the markets but Treasury$calper is unique. It takes advantage of recurring price patterns that have been in existence for years.

With the emergence of electronic trading the smaller individual trader is now on the same footing as the ex floor traders, hedge funds and commercials that had enjoyed significant advantages when markets were traded by open outcry. Everybody now has access to the exact same information. The only thing the individual trader needs is a solid, executable trading plan, and that is exactly what Treasury$calper can provide you!    

Why Scalp?

Unless you’ve been living under a rock you know that volatility and margins are at all-time highs for most other futures markets which makes trading other strategies, such as swing trading less appealing. While volatility in necessary for speculators to make money, high margins and excessive risks can kill a smaller trader’s account before he or she really get started. Scalping provides a much more efficient use of margin while reducing market exposure. Scalping the Treasury markets solves the problems of margin and exposure while providing excellent profit opportunities.

Why the Treasury Markets?

The Treasury markets were chosen primarily because of liquidity. The 30-Year Bonds and 10-Year Note markets are among the most liquid futures markets there are with the Bonds routinely showing Bids and Offers over 300 a side and the Notes over 500 a side. What this means to the scalper is that execution in the Treasury markets should rarely, if ever, be a problem. This is a significant issue for any speculator and should be addressed before trading any market and Treasury$calper has done so.

Why Trade 2 Interest Rate Products, Aren’t they the same?

Treasury$calper takes advantage of the natural spreading that takes place is related markets. Spreading occurs when opposite positions are taken in related but different markets. Spreading in the Interest Rate markets occur when the Yield Curve is widen or narrowed depending on the trader’s perceptions of the Interest Rate outlook. It’s not uncommon for Treasury$calper to be long either the Note or Bond market and short the other at various times of the day.

Another reason t trade related markets is because it is impossible to determine ahead of time which market will pay the freight on any given day. Overall, the Bonds will tend to be more profitable; however that’s not always the case. There are many days when the Bonds may post a small profit or a loss while the Notes will have a much larger profit or even a profit while the Bonds posted a loss. Trading both markets together helps to smooth the equity curve.

What type of Activity can I Expect from Treasury$calper?

It varies by the day’s activity. While the Treasury$calper will trade most days, activity depends on the days price action. Treasury$calper is actually 3 systems that work together and trade as one.

On days where the markets trade sideways activity will be relatively high and days when the markets trend later in the session activity will be relatively low. The system reacts to activity and does not make any real attempt to predict either activity or market direction. Activity is solely determined by the day’s intraday price action.

Here are a few examples of the system in Action!

Will I Have to be Glued to a Screen All Day?

That depends on you. But the short answer is NO. Auto trading has been setup so you do not have to be in front of the screen at all if you chose not to. The system traded about 5 hours a day and issues new orders, from 8 AM to 1 PM Central time so it really doesn’t take an excessive amount to follow. All open positions are closed at 2 PM Central Time.

However if you choose to trade yourself orders will be provided audibly in a trading room that can be found at http://members.conferencetm.com/conference.php?id=29737627  

What do I need if I don’t want to auto trade?

Any Depth of Market platform will do and most trading firms offer them. On days when the system is actively trading it can trade up to 20 or 25 times a day. Those are extreme numbers, and it does sound like a lot, at least to me. But it’s actually easy to mange with a DOM trader with the “Drag-and-Drop” that a DOM provides. Other than that all you’ll need is access to the trading room.

What do I receive if I Sign Up?

A short .pdf e-book that explains exactly how to place your orders, how to mange limit orders, when to place stop limit orders and when to place regular stop orders. Everything you’ll need to know will be provided.

FAQ’s

Q: Will we know in advance if we will trade that day, and if so what style of trading we will be doing?

A: Absolutely, if there is to be no trading that you will know in advance so you, and me will not be tied up in the trading room, in most cases the night before and you will be notified by email.

So far as the style, the answer again is yes, the level of activity is easy to anticipate and you be notified before hand.

Q: I’m new to the markets and not familiar with the terminology, what’s a tick?

A: The smallest increment a market can trade in; in the case of the Note & Bond market 1 tick is valued at $15.625.

Q: Do you sell the methodology to the system?

A: No.

Q: You’ve apparently put a lot of research into the system, why don’t you post back tested results?

A: It doesn’t make any difference what a system, CTA or trader has done in the   past, what counts is what it does today, tomorrow and into the future. Markets are constantly changing and good traders change with or they won’t remain good traders for long. What should want to see is what is happening and it’s the reason I offer a trial, so you can see what is happening now, not what happened yesterday or last year.

Q: Why are you limiting the system to 250 subscribers?

A: For execution reasons mainly. It should be relatively easy to execute 250 lots in the Note and Bond markets. However, if execution becomes an issue before the 250 lot limit then the subscription limit will be lowered. If on the other hand more than the 250 lot limit can be executed the limit can be raised, it’s a flexible number. 

Good Trading!
