  1. Bill Hider – Short Term Momentum Trader • Basic Strategy: • Evening - Identify potential trades/entry points with the Daily Chart close • Next day - Use the Intraday 5-Minute Chart to find precision entries/exits based on the Stock Price candlestick-patterns • Trade the Option, not the stock • Stay in the trade until either of the following is met: 1. The first major retracement begins, based on the 5-min price candlestick-pattern of the stock being traded • A price target is reached • Exit the trade the same-day (day-trade)

  2. Bill Hider – Short Term Momentum Trader • Basic Trade Entry Rules (Watch the Stock, Trade the Option) • On Pullbacks to moving averages – on the bounce • On Breakout from technical continuation patterns • Trade in the direction of the S&P (Watching the SPX) • Do not trade in the first 15 – 20 minutes after the mkt opens, or longer, until SPX has identified a tradable direction. • Do not trade on “slow” trading days, or SPX Doji days Note: There are well over 150 trading rules plus several dozen technical pattern rules, and a set of Option selection rules
