The Magnet Strategy Changes News Trading Forever

Discover a simplified and flexible approach to navigating fast-moving markets with 10MinuteTrades.com’s innovative strategy.

Futures traders who thrive on the volatility of scheduled news events now have a new tool to help improve their approach: The Magnet Strategy from 10MinuteTrades.com. Developed by Trading Director Leigh Goldstein, this strategy offers a fresh way to trade around key market levels to help traders manage high-volatility conditions.

 

A simplified approach to fast markets

 

Designed for use on the NinjaTrader platform, the Magnet Strategy was built with a simple concept in mind: Certain price levels attract order flow. These “magnets” are common chart levels, such as the high or low of the day, VWAP (volume-weighted average price), or pivot points—where traders often place entry, exit, or stop-loss orders. As price approaches these levels, it tends to get “pulled” in.

The Magnet Strategy is designed to identify those moments, automate entry orders around them, and exit near the magnet level. This structure can help reduce the guesswork and emotional pitfalls that often arise in high-speed market conditions.

 

Why magnets matter

 

The real strength of this strategy lies in its universality and flexibility. According to Goldstein, when defined levels appear on a chart, such as VWAP or the high of the day, the magnet strategy can be applied to any instrument, including futures, stocks, indices, and across any timeframe.

And while the Magnet Strategy incorporates automation, it still leaves room for discretionary control. Traders can manually adjust entry levels, use “enter now” functions for sudden moves, and let the strategy trigger automatically when price crosses the defined threshold.

 

Built for NinjaTrader

 

10MinuteTrades.com’s suite of tools, including the Magnet Strategy, is designed to integrate directly into the NinjaTrader platform. These tools can be accessed via a control panel and used alongside clean, indicator-light charts that help avoid visual overload.

Once installed, the strategies are available from the strategy menu within NinjaTrader. Setup involves selecting a few key parameters, such as entry proximity to the target level and contract size, making it accessible for traders of all experience levels.

 

Expanding possibilities with version 2.0

 

Goldstein also previewed what’s coming in Magnet Strategy 2.0. This new version adds deeper automation features, including support for additional indicators like pivots and VWAP as automated target levels. An updated control panel is also in development, designed to further streamline strategy setup and management.

Whether you’re trading gold at the market open or navigating job report volatility, the Magnet Strategy is designed to help you approach news-driven opportunities with confidence and clarity.

 

Take your strategy deeper

 

The Magnet Strategy is just one piece of the broader approach at 10MinuteTrades.com. Their method, which they call “appointment-based trading,” involves preparing a weekly trade schedule, reviewing daily trade reports, and engaging with a live trade room to remain adaptable in rapidly changing market environments.

This structured yet flexible framework is intended to help traders plan their week, evaluate setups beforehand, and respond to ever-evolving market conditions. And with tools like the Magnet Strategy, those responses can be both faster and more deliberate.
