New Easy Continuator Signal: Pullback Entry With Trend

Discover a smart way to approach trend trading with the newly refined Easy Continuator Signal from Dimension Trader. Mike Green, president of Dimension Trader, discusses how this system offers a simplified, rule-based method for identifying pullback entries in the direction of the prevailing market trend.

 

Building on proven tools

 

Dimension Trader has been developing trading systems for over two decades. The Easy Trader Signal, a foundational component of their suite, has stood the test of time by offering clear visual indicators—green for uptrend and red for downtrend—that help traders confidently identify market direction and potential entries.

Now, the Easy Continuator Signal adds a new layer of functionality. Designed as a companion to Dimension Trader’s Easy Trader Signal, it identifies pullbacks that align with the broader trend, helping traders participate in ongoing market momentum.

 

How the Easy Continuator works

 

At the core of the Easy Continuator is the Trendex Velocity indicator. When this indicator dips below a designated yellow line during a downtrend or rises above it during an uptrend—then reverses course—it generates a signal. A green arrow appears, signaling a potential pullback entry in the direction of the trend.

For example:

• In a downtrend (red background), if the Trendex Velocity rises above the upper yellow threshold and then turns downward, a green arrow points to a potential short opportunity.
• In an uptrend (green background), if the Trendex Velocity falls below the lower yellow threshold and then turns upward, the system signals a potential long trade.

These visual cues are designed to keep the process straightforward and actionable, especially when used in combination with Dimension Trader’s automation features.

 

Automation simplifies execution

 

A standout feature of the Easy Continuator—and all Dimension Trader signals—is the ability to automate trade entries. Traders can choose between full and semi-automation, allowing for tailored execution based on personal preferences and market conditions. The system can be configured to identify specific chart objects, colors, and indicator states to initiate trades, reducing the likelihood of missed opportunities due to hesitation or error.

 

Using time to your advantage

 

Mike also emphasized the importance of timing in day trading. Using the “five-minute rule,” he encouraged traders to wait five minutes after major news events—like economic reports or the market open—to allow volatility to settle. For index futures, especially the E-mini, Mike suggests focusing on trading between 9:30 am and 10:30 am ET when multiple global markets overlap, often creating high-probability setups in a short time frame.
