CyberTrader does not recommend the use of technical analysis as a sole means of investment research. At CyberTrader we
recommend that investors define their goals, risk tolerance, time horizon, and investment objectives in addition to researching
possible investment choices through multiple channels. Use of technical analysis may result in increased frequency of trading
and, therefore, significantly higher transaction costs than a fundamental approach.
Short selling is an advanced trading strategy involving significant risks, and must be done in a margin account. Margin trading
increases your level of market risk. For more information please refer to your account agreement and the Margin Risk
Disclosure Statement.
Commissions, taxes, and margin interest are not considered in the examples given in this presentation.

SCALPER BUYS AND SELLS—
WHEN ONLY A QUICK
CONFIRMATION WILL DO

Scalper Buys and Sells
Most reversals take place after 3 consecutive
higher closes or 3 consecutive lower closes.
Intraday or intrabar highs and lows not
important—it’s the closes that matter.
I want to see where the action “closes” because
that represents capitulation as opposed to mere
probing of highs and lows.
Scalper Buys and Sells
For a downtrending market, once you see three
higher closes in a row, on any time frame, that is
a signal to go long.
To exit the long, you can wait for the
corresponding signal to go short (3 lower closes
in a row) or scale out.
I use lower time frames for scalping (144 tick,
233 tick) and higher time frames for larger
moves.
Scalper Buys and Sells
Use in conjunction with the internals we
discussed at the beginning of this presentation.
If TRIN is going higher – that is bearish, so
ignore scalp longs and focus on scalp shorts.
If in a scalper buy on the long side and you get a
+1000 tick reading – exit at least half the trade.
Scalper Buys and Sells
Set up a 24-hour chart on intraday charts so
the overnight activity can be accounted for in
this indicator setup. This can be used in all
time frames. The larger the time frame, the
larger the parameters and potential move. For
daily charts I will use the regular session hours.
Ignore overnight session signals
Scalper Buys and Sells
After three consecutive higher closes, I go
long at the market, at the close of the third bar
in the sequence.
The trade is valid until three consecutive lower
closes occur, at which point I exit the trade.

Why the Dow (YM) over S&P (ES)?
Both contracts have the same P&L movement
1 point on S&P is about 10 points on Dow
1 point on ES = $50
10 points on YM = $50 (10 points x $5/point)
ES moves 1 point in 4 increments
YM moves same 10 points in 10 increments
(NQ moves 1 point in 2 increments)
Trading YM vs. ES allows 6 extra price levels
Cuts spread by 60%; that cash goes to the trader
