BUILT BY A TRADER FOR TRADERS
THE TRADERSMARTS STORY
My name is Tony Edwards and I'm the founder of TraderSmarts. I've been trading equities since 1993 and futures since 2000. I was one of the first YM traders when the CME initially launched the E-Mini Dow in 2002.
Over the last three decades, I have traded nearly every major asset class on the board—from equities (YM, ES, NQ, RTY, TF when the Russell 2K was listed with ICE), to bonds and currencies (ZN, ZB, 6E) and metals (GC SI).
I traded YM as my primary instrument for nearly two decades, from 2002 when the contract launched until March 2020 when COVID hit and the spreads got too thin. That forced me to look to ES, after years of intentionally avoiding it.
I now trade ES as my primary instrument and CL / GC as secondary instruments.
Between 2002 - 2009 I ran an informal broad market weekly newsletter for family, close friends, and fellow traders. Using similar methodology that I use for TraderSmarts today, along with some timing work, that newsletter forecasted and pinpointed the precise structural timing of the 2007 global market crash.
In spring of 2009, after years of sending pre-market levels to many trader friends and a rapidly growing community of traders that requested them, I started a blog, posting YM levels and daily analysis for free. This was quickly picked by an even larger number of YM traders and it soon became the preeminent place to get YM daily analysis.
In late 2010, I officially launched TraderSmarts, offering daily futures trading analysis for YM ES 6E CL and GC traders. Eventually NQ was added, then RTY and finally SI.
Today, I still personally calculate the Execution & Target Zones for all 8 core instruments (ES, YM, NQ, RTY, 6E, CL, SI, GC) by hand. There is absolutely zero automation or AI noise involved. I do the same pre-market prep for our global membership that I do for my own capital.
In January 2023, after more than a decade of member requests, Small Group Mentoring (SGM) was launched to provide personal guidance.
I love connecting with other traders, whether next door or across the globe. I view every member as a connection and I'm honored that traders worldwide trust the daily analysis to guide their own trading.

TECHNICAL BRIEFING
CLARIFY YOUR APPROACH
HOW ACCURATE ARE THE TS TRADEPLAN SIGNALS?
The Execution/Target Zones are highly accurate, often marking intraday highs and lows and daily highs and lows, sometimes to the tick.
WHICH MARKETS DOES THE INDICATOR COVER?
We specialize in ES, YM, NQ, RTY, 6E, CL, SI and GC futures.
WHAT PLATFORMS ARE THE TS TRADEPLAN INDICATOR AVAILABLE FOR?
NinjaTrader 8, SierraChart, TradeStation, eSignal, MultiCharts, MultiCharts.NET, and Trading View. The indicator automatically plots the current day's TS #'s and Execution/Target Zones, as well as all back data, on your charts. It also allows you to pull up the current day's written TS TradePlan. The indicator is fully customizable allowing you to set audio alerts so you never miss a trade, change colors, etc.
AM I LOCKED INTO A LONG-TERM CONTRACT?
No. All subscriptions operate on a strict month-to-month or annual basis. You trade on your terms, and you can cancel anytime without hidden fees or penalties.
DO YOU OFFER ANALYSIS FOR ANY MARKETS OTHER THAN ES YM NQ RTY 6E CL SI GC?
Yes. On a custom basis we provide TS TradePlan type analysis for all liquid markets including all futures and equities markets. Please contact us with your request.
WHAT TIME IS TS TRADEPLAN POSTED FOR MEMBERS?
TS TradePlan is posted for members prior to the London open. Usually it is posted a couple hours after the U.S. cash close. It is valid for Europe, United States, and Asian trading sessions until the next day's trading plan is posted.
WHY NOT UPDATE CLOSER TO U.S. CASH OPEN IF YOU ARE U.S. BASED?
The markets are increasingly global and futures trade roughly 24/6. Many originating moves start during Globex hours. Additionally, there is a huge advantage for U.S. based traders to be able to see how the markets have reacted to the trade plan during the overnight session. Often when I wake up and see how price has traded in relation to the plan it is like "lightbulbs" popping off in regards to clarity of what to likely expect for U.S. cash session.
WHAT TIME IS THE DISCORD ACTIVE?
Most activity takes place between 8 - 10 CT (9 AM - 12 PM EST). If there is volatility we will trade throughout the full U.S. cash session.
WHAT ARE THE INTRADAY EXHAUSTION LEVELS?
Exhaustion levels are calculated from intraday analysis. You can think of them like a fine-tuned Execution/Target Zone. That's why they alone are worth the price of the Discord admission.
WHEN IS THE BEST TIME TO TRADE?
There are two specific time periods for futures that offer the best opportunity based on volatility. The first being 5 - 9 AM PST (8 AM - 12 PM EST). which covers most major U.S. economic releases, the 6E Euro FX futures, CL Crude Oil futures, and GC Gold futures pit opens, the U.S. cash open and the London close. The second best time to trade is 11 PM - 2 AM PST (2 AM - 5 AM EST) which covers the London open. The significance of the London open is we often get originating moves in instruments like 6E Euro FX futures, CL Crude Oil futures and GC Gold futures based around the London open.
CAN I TRADE SPY DIA QQQ IWM FXE USO SIL GLD USING TS TRADEPLAN
Yes, you can if you can make the correlation. I find SPY the easiest to correlate and I sometimes trade options on them.
Crude Oil Trade Example: A CL Short trade with the entry and risk posted 2 + hours in advance.
Intraday Exhaustion Levels: Intraday exhaustion marking the intraday high in the ES E-Mini S&P-500 Futures, nearly to the tick.
