Welcome to The Blueprint.
This website is designed to serve as a blueprint for my Nasdaq-100 Futures daytrading strategy. In reality, this approach to trading can be applied to all markets of all types, including Stocks, Forex, and even Cryptocurrency. It is entirely based on technical analysis, with no use of fundamentals or information beyond what is presented in a standard candlestick chart. But because it has been used primarily for futures, most or all of the examples used in these pages will be showing NQ futures.
This blueprint has been prepared in this form to serve as an active guide during daytrading hours, to help myself and perhaps you, if you were permitted to be here.
The concept was something that has been considered deeply for some time, and although I have considered creating it in multiple mediums, this should be an interesting and more easily modifiable version that can also be shared if it ever needs to be.
I envisioned a flow chart showing all of the decisions and ideas that go into my strategy and ideal trades, but that lacks the ability to show real examples of real charts without getting too cluttered. I thought of using index cards, but doing this by hand is simply not a good use of time. So I thought about the choose your own adventure style books and games that allow the reader or player to select the next part of the adventure at the bottom of each page. And alas, this idea was born. I decided that every morning, as a daytrader, we are at the beginning of each adventure, regardless of what happened the previous day. Why not have a solid starting point that branches out into all the variations of the trading day that occur, and make the decision making of opening and closing positions strictly defined within this “adventure?”
But that’s just what I had in mind while going on. There’s only one way to find out if this is really a helpful way of doing it.
Let’s begin.
