2. Trading videos on using Cannon Advanced charts along with trailing stops

Two videos to share with you today

Using overbought/oversold ALGORITHM along with preset exits to day trade Mini S&P 500 Futures

Using auto trailing stops to day-trade crude oil futures

Advanced charting package now available FREE* for clients, also available to nonclients as a trial.

Quick note about one of the charting packages we offer which is free to clients who trade with transactAT as long as they trade minimum of 10 contracts per month. This Sierra Charts Charting Package can be used in conjunction with most of our clearing firms and is full of features and studies. The more I use it, the more I am impressed. There are many different studies to choose and explore at no extra charge.

If you would like a FREE no obligation trial and have not had one before, please click here. You will then be able to download our AT (Active trader) platform and when you install make sure to click "yes" to installing charts. Once you log in to the platform, the charts will open automatically.

You can explore some video tutorials and help guides on the charts here.

* Advanced charts are available to clients who trade with our TransactAT platform and opt in for the sierra charts ( AT charts). Charts are free for clients who trade more than 10 contracts per month, otherwise the price is $15.95
