Receive FREE Darth Mole Twitter Alerts

A few months back I hacked up my own little Twitter alerts module which I then hooked into DarthMole. In case you don’t know or have forgotten – DarthMole is an indicator which excels at predicting price volatility. I have an inkling that that once you become privy of volatility cycles trading will never be the same again for you – at least that’s how it was for me. You can read the tutorial or even better, let’s just look at some recent charts. They are not cherry picked – these all show the tape over the past few days:

The blue candles on this USD/JPY chart represent the hourly candles when an alert was sent out. You can see that each time thereafter we started to see an expansion in price volatility.

This is the EUR/USD. DarthMole does not predict direction but it often triggers near technical inflection points, which greatly aids my timing when picking entries.

Here’s gold – as you can see it doesn’t always trigger before a big move. It’s market phase dependent and often volatility weaves in a way that it does not scrape the triggers. But when it does the timing is rather uncanny.

And here’s crude – some really gorgeous examples, almost textbook. Yes, the first and third one were absolutely fabulous and in particular the latter helped me get positioned during the previous shake out. However the alert I want to focus on is the one in the middle – it triggered and we saw a little swing up followed by a big drop down.

These things happen quite often and you need to be prepared, no matter if you were long or short in this scenario. Knowing that volatility is coming is a big step forward but only half the battle. From there your entry and campaign management rules need to take over. But let’s assume you would have taken a long entry here and perhaps even got stopped out. Knowing that volatility was about to expand may have given you a chance to grab an inverse position. Yes, the chance for a double stop out is always present but in my experience you see it only swing once the other way in about 80% of the cases.
