About the Futures Day Trading Picks

Traders Dashboard at Zantrio.com is the ultimate source to access live Futures Day Trading picks. Subscribing members to the Futures Day Trading picks login to the Traders Dashboard each market day and monitor any updates for futures picks that appear automatically, from 8:00 to 12:00 noon Eastern Time. Automatic updates on the Traders Dashboard will include Watching Alert, Entry Price, Selling Targets and Stop Loss of which all will be calculated based on the Entry Price posted, by our team of experts.

After the entry price has been posted for Futures Day Trading picks, the final target reached will automatically update on the Traders Dashboard, as long as the stop loss is not hit first. If the stop loss is hit before a target is reached, the stop loss will be posted for that position.

We do not intend for any trader to match or attempt to duplicate performance posted for Futures Day Trading picks. Futures Day Trading service is a guide to assist futures day traders with developing a successful trading strategy. There are too many variables that exist which will prevent a member from duplicating or matching our performance. Traders should focus on the Futures Day Trading picks posted on the Traders Dashboard for several days if not longer, until the trader develops a successful Futures Day Trading strategy.

Any new member to the Futures Trading Picks service should review the FAQ in its entirety so that you completely understand how the service operates; failure to do so could result in erroneous trading action by the trader or member to this service.

Details for the Traders Dashboard:

1) Watching Alert - When we select a Futures Day Trading pick that we are watching for a potential move to the long or short side, the symbol will appear via automatic refresh of the Traders Dashboard. This post allows the trader time to load the symbol and determine whether the trader wishes to consider a long or short position on that particular futures pick. Not all watching alerts will result in an entry position posted.

2) Consider Entry/Entry Price Alert - When we determine that it is time to consider taking a long or short position on a Futures Day Trading pick, the symbol will appear with a consider entry alert followed shortly by the entry price based on Time & Sales. This is the time for a trader to consider taking a position long or short, if they so desire. Any and all trades placed by a trader are done so at the sole discretion of the trader.

3) Selling Targets – When an entry has been taken on a Futures Day Trading pick, we will include three prices targets along with our potential stop loss. It is up to the trader to determine at what point they wish to begin to take profits or losses. Keep in mind, not every trade will be a winner.

Q. How will I be alerted of a new pick?
A. New Futures Day Trading picks will appear on the Traders Dashboard at the time a decision is made by our experts. In addition, there will be an alert sound plus, an “!” icon will appear for 30 seconds by the symbol that has had a position updated.

Q. How will I know when a position entry has been posted?
A. When a Futures Day Trading position entry has been posted, the Traders Dashboard will automatically refresh to show posted entry price as well as three profit targets and a stop loss. In addition, there will be an alert sound plus an “!” icon will appear for 30 seconds by the symbol that has had a position updated.

Q. How will I know when a position exit has been posted?
A. When a Futures Day Trading position exit has been posted, the Traders Dashboard will automatically refresh to show posted exit price (exit target price taken) as well as which target has been hit that will be used for our Futures Day Trading performance tracking. In addition, there will be an alert sound plus, an “!” icon will appear for 30 seconds by the symbol that has had a position updated.

Q. How many picks are posted daily?
A. This will all depend on the overall market action. There may be days without any Futures Day Trading picks while other days you could have 20+ picks posted.

Q. How is performance calculated?
A. We calculate our Futures Day Trading performance using a very simple method. If a target is hit, we show the profits based on that posted target price. If a stop loss is hit, we show the loss based on that posted stop loss price. For example: We post an entry price for the YM at 10000. 1st target is 10010, 2nd target is 10020, 3rd target is 10030 and stop loss is 9970. If the price goes to 10025 where 2nd target is hit but not the 3rd target, we would show a gain of 20 points with an exit target level of 10020, for our performance purposes. Clear, simple and to-the-point.

Q. Why can’t I match or duplicate the entry posted?
A. The entry price posted is the price we see the moment we post a consider entry price. From the time we post an entry price until the time you the member see that price on the Traders Dashboard, seconds elapse and the price has already changed. The market does not pause or stop for anyone. There are times when the markets move so fast that the only way to enter a position is by “chasing”, which is absolutely the wrong thing to do. Depending upon the momentum the market may move so fast that a 1st, 2nd or 3rd target can be hit within seconds of entry posted.

Q. When should I exit my trade? How should I trade the targets?
A. You need to develop a trading strategy that works for you. Developing a trading strategy can takes weeks or even months BUT, testing of any trading strategy should only be done while demo-trading. Testing of a potential trading strategy should NEVER be done from a live trading platform!

Our belief is that each trader is different. A professional trader with a $500,000 account would certainly have a different exit plan than a small trader with a $10,000 account. This is why we do not tell traders EXACTLY when to get in and EXACTLY when to get out. We provide suggested entries/targets and it is up to each trader to decide what strategy best fits their own trading strategy.

Q. How many contracts should I trade?
A. First off, you should NEVER trade with money that you cannot easily move on with your life - having lost 100% of that money. The minimum position size you can trade depends on your broker and the size of your trading account. There is no maximum position size that you can trade however; new traders should only trade the minimum position size until a successful trading strategy has been developed. Trade with what you feel comfortable trading with.

Still not the answer you are looking for? OK, go with this. As a general rule of thumb, consider trading with around 25% of your trading account on each trade. This is not a Zantrio recommendation as we do not have one but, a general rule of thumb for the markets we trade every day.

Q. Why are the picks only made from 8:00 to 12:00 noon Eastern Time?
A. This time frame is what we feel to be the very best time to trade, from our experience dealing with the markets. If you cannot hit your daily profit goal by 12:00 noon Eastern Time, odds are high that the trading action during the afternoon trading session will not be worth the risk.

Q. Which contacts are posted at Zantrio Trading for Futures Day Trading?

1) Never invest more than 10% to 15% of your trading capital in any one single position.

2) Develop a trading strategy. For each trade made, traders should have a predetermined exit strategy in an attempt to reach the maximum amount of potential profit.

3) Consider exiting a position in blocks as you begin to realize profits and consider pursuing your highest potential targets with a maximum of 15% to 25% of your original position.

4) Day Traders should always have an exit strategy for every trade they make in the event that any position turns against you. Cut your losses and control your trades in an effort to prevent yourself from getting in too deep on any one position.

5) Never chase a position! If you the individual trader do not feel comfortable with a certain position or a potential entry price, don't take it. There are many trades to be had and no time to risk valuable trading capital. Remember, you should not attempt to get in on every position that appears on the Traders Dashboard or you will find yourself over trading which is very risky business.
