I can try to front run a green zone trade if I can see to the one inside yesterdays range
I am out of the swing trade or I am going short, because it’s failing

Green Zone Trading: mechanical trading once Price moves above yesterday’s range
•Use scans & systems to find high probability/high payoff swing trade candidates•Any of the Tortoise swing trade systems, patterns, preferences•Frame the trades that meet 2:1 reward:risk ratios on a re-test of the 10day High•Enter the trades when price > yesterday’s high +.05•Initial risk: .05 below yesterday’s low (or 1x ATR if you prefer)•Once in the trade, use a trailing stop of the initial risk or adjust to .05 below yesterday’s low
Think of the Green Zone as the Core position with overnight/Swing trade levels of risk

Yellow Zone Trading: intraday opportunity trading on a mechanical trade, with tactical momentum
•Start with any Green Zone trade frame that gives 2:1•Look for opportunities when you can see 2:1 reward:risk, using the mechanical entry as your profit target•Tighten up your stop and prepare to take profits if it stalls near the mechanical entry•Consider adding another position at the mechanical entry, or simply accept the current trade as your mechanical Green Zone trade, but with an improved entry, and let it become your swing trade•If you have a successful Yellow Zone trade AND a Green Zone trade, take the Yellow Zone trade off before the close, so you only carry the swing trade risk overnight, then seek to get back in the following day with another Yellow Zone tradeThink of the Yellow Zone as the “Turbo” position with intraday trade levels of risk

i start with SPY to assess mkt conditions from the open and during the day
i compare the vertical column above and below for intraday relative strength comparisons of indices and sectors to SPY
if a sector looks very good or very bad i then go east and west to find an even better target for easy trading
to include looking all the way to the right for stocks outperforming their peers in an outperforming sector, going in the same up direcition as mkt
if mkt failing i find worst sector ETF and trade the double inverse "long“
the stocks and ETFs on there are often the result of swing trade patterns which are favorable for the next couple days so i have extra protection when trading them intraday
