Chapters

What are Time Trade Zones (TTZ)?

The presenter describes them as specific time windows during the session that repeatedly coincide with price turning points. They are meant to highlight periods where directional moves are more probable.

Do the zones predict exact highs and lows?

No. The presenter says turning points do not necessarily land on the exact upper or lower tick, since the zones represent periods when large institutions may respond with counter-trend moves.

How does the indicator display on the chart?

It can be shown as a Time Zone bar painted directly on the price bars, or as a Time Zone ribbon in a separate subgraph window below the chart. The presenter demonstrates both options.

Speaker A

understand that there are specific time pivots that occur on a regular basis throughout the session our trade time zones highlighted important periods during the day where probabilities favor directional moves if you have never used time zone pivots you are missing an

Speaker A

important Edge that professional Traders have been using for years so let's go to the charts and take a look at what they look like okay we're taking a look at a one minute chart of the S&P e mini here uh

Speaker A

from March 28 2014 and the time zone pivots that we have showing are colored in yellow and there's two versions We can use a Time Zone bar which paints right on the price bars or you can use a time zone ribbon if you

Speaker A

prefer and that is painted Down Below in a subgraph window I've displayed both of them here to show the flexibility uh of the display display uh what we want to point out though specifically is these time zones that repeatedly coincide with

Speaker A

price turning points and what I've done is I've marked uh key turning points uh throughout the day and as you can see very clearly here uh they do coincide uh with specific time zones so as price rotated up here in the

Speaker A

morning uh reached the peak right up into the into the time zone and and then we got a little bit of a pullback right followed by an actual low here I did not mark this one but then pushed back up once

Speaker A

again time zone high price high and then we get a reversal back again on a low once again on the flip side and then again as the market was making lower highs in the into the uh afternoon period uh

Speaker A

each uh bounce was coincided with a time zone High pivot and then as the it was late in the session Market put in a low pretty much right where it was anticipated in terms of a time zone within the context of that time zone and

Speaker A

you see that the we got a double bottom uh late in the day um this is not an anomaly okay this happens on a regular basis now does it happen you know specifically to the upper tick or lower

Speaker A

tick no because they are time zones right we're looking for a period in which we're looking for a um a response from the large institutional traders to make a perhaps a counter Trend or a counter price move right

Speaker A

putting in a high pivot or a low pivot but as the day unfolds we want to be aware of specific time zones that the big institutions will be looking to trade during and become much more active this along with some

Speaker A

traditional um indicators and levels and methodology really enhance um you know Traders methodologies okay especially here at Polaris Trading Group so something that if you have not ever used to time zone pivots uh you want to make it uh at least a a core part of

Speaker A

your trading all right that's it I hope it helps and good Trading
