The Steinitz Sniper Trading System is based on the Steinitz Fractal Breakout
Indicator (referred to as SFB). The indicator was developed by Don Steinitz
through rigorous research over the past 5 years. Its unique properties make it
far more advanced than any other indicator available on the market today. The
SFB in conjunction with multiple filters e.g. Fibonacci pivot indicator and
strength meter X-meter makes this a complete custom indicator trading
package.
Each one of the blue arrows indicates where you would have entered the trade
long DURING the NEXT candle to the right. Notice that each candle
formation to the right exceeded the high of the blue arrow candle. Note: The
blue arrows are NOT painted by the program and are there to demonstrate
the trading logic only.
yellow bars are painted. The value of .25 or greater will cause green bars to
be formed and values below -.25 will cause red bars to be formed.
This method seeks to look for high probability winning trading
opportunities based upon retracements only. It's well known that to make
money when buying in the market you must buy low and sell high and vice a
versa when trading short. Because of the filtering nature of the system arrows
will be shown on the MT4 chart only during high probability market entry
points.
After the up arrow which is green by default which appears below a
particular candle the system will also produce a pop-up alert with the
information about that particular candle in terms of which currency pair,
timeframe, date and time and ask price the entry signal is based on.
Example: If you receive a pop-up alert on a five minute chart you will
see a green arrow at the bottom of a particular candle. Your job is to wait
for the next candle to form and to enter on a market order and go long as
soon as the current candle trades greater than one pip above the high of the
arrow candle.
If this current candle does not exceed the high of the previous candle
with the arrow you wait for the next signal e.g. candle with green arrow. If
in fact you entered the position based on the market taking out the previous
arrow candle high you now place a mechanical or mental take profit order
shooting for approximately 7-12 pips on the 5 minute chart. More if you are
trading GBP/JPY or GBP/CHF.
If the trade fails to hit your take profit target and closes below the 50
SMA it should be considered a failure and should be closed out immediately.
Keep in mind that only a down candle (candle that closes lower than it opened)
closing below the 50 SMA should be considered a failure.
If an up candle (candle that closed higher than it opened) closes below
the 50 SMA this would not be considered a failure since the bulls are still in
control. As soon as you get your first signal to enter the market by way of
seeing a green arrow you should look at the upper left-hand side of your chart
which will tell you if this is a buy or sell signal. Remember all entry and exit
orders should be made on the candle after the candle that generated the
signal.
There is a letter and a numerical value such as D:34. What this
represents is what stop loss you can expect if the position were to go badly.
This number represents the difference between the entry price and the 50
SMA in pips. So D:34 represent 34 pips as the distance between your entry
and potential loss if the trade becomes unprofitable. You need to know this
information in order to determine position size and proper risk management.
The number next to this A:.48 indicates the trend strength of the
arrow candle. The greater the value, the greater the trend. Since there are
multiple signals that can fire off at the same time for different currencies it's
best to use the lowest risk which would be indicated by the smallest distance
between the entry and the 50 SMA and the greater trend strength.

SHORT ENTRIES
For the most part this method is inverse to the long entry method
outlined above. You will be using the same indicator in Metatrader 4 as with
your long entries.
Each one of the blue arrows indicates where you would have entered the trade
short DURING the NEXT candle to the right. Notice that each candle
formation to the right exceeded the low of the blue arrow candle. Note: The
blue arrows are NOT painted by the program and are there to demonstrate
the trading logic only.
If a down candle (candle that closed lower than it opened) closes above
the 50 SMA this would not be considered a failure since the bears are still in
control. As soon as you get your first signal to enter the market by way of
seeing a red arrow you should look at the upper left-hand side of your chart
which will tell you if this is a buy or sell signal. Remember all entry and exit
orders should be made on the candle after the candle that generated the
signal.

Addendum
I hope by now you had some time to use the Steinitz Fractal Breakout custom indicator
with some success. You are receiving this e-mail because we have come out with a newer
version called version 1.2. Because I have not finished making changes to the owners
manual to reflect the new version and new trading rules you are receiving this e-mail as a
quick fix. The following are the new highlights and new trading rules for entries and exits.
1. The ability to toggle back and forth by way of templates to view alert candles (the way it
is now) or trade arrows. The trade arrows will paint precisely where you would have
gotten in based on the alert arrows. This way you only get a signal exactly when the trade
would have been taken based on the entry rules. This eliminates about half the arrows.
2. Another feature is a price shown as a horizontal line across your chart at the high/low of
the alert candle. The price is off to the right hand side of the screen. This shows you the
exact price of the candle where the market required to exceed by one Pip before making
your trade. This is a nice reminder of where you entered your trade.
3. A pop-up box has been reworked to remove some of the clutter so now it's easier to
read with much less confusion. It now shows alert signals and trade signals depending on
which template is chosen.
Exits
There are more precise ways for determining take profit targets than simply guessing how
many pips you are looking for. What I teach in my one on one sessions is how to apply a
Fibonacci extension tool which you will find on your Meta trader 4 charting software. Once
you have entered the trade you will immediately apply your Fibonacci extension tool that
will give you multiple take profit targets based on the Fibonacci lines of support and
resistance.
I can't tell you how accurate it is when using this tool for calculating where to take your
money off the table. It's truly amazing how accurate to the Pip the market reacts to these
Fibonacci levels. Using Fibonacci you can relax and not worry that you did not exit too
early or too late. I honestly never thought there was an accurate way to calculate take
profit targets until I started using Fibonacci extensions.
For taking stop losses we have a mechanical answer that is better technically than just
guessing at some stop loss Pip value. If you are trading a long position and you have not
reached a take profit target yet and you find your trade has gone below the orange 50 SMA
the following information should be adhered to strictly for exiting.
Only exit if you encounter 2 red consecutive closed candles below the orange 50 SMA
line. Don't worry about wicks of candles that penetrate the 50 SMA as they do not count,
only closed bodies. Do not count candle that has an equal open and close also known as a
"doji" candle. You can completely ignore these candles.
I hope this information was helpful and I urge everyone that has any questions about this
to contact me by e-mail or take a one on one coaching session with me. I will do my best
given the time that I have to redo the owners manual and send it out when done. Attached
is the new version......
Happy Trading!
Don
