Dynamic Setups
Trades are based on the length of the setup bar itself,
making it dynamic and self adjusting.

Jumpline Crossover Trade
1. Fast Jumpline (JL) crosses over the slow Jumpline from below to above,
for long trades
2. Fast Jumpline crosses over the slow Jumpline from above to below, for
short trades
3. Can not take these trades against the direction of the 50 ema
4. Can adjust around the ema to get through it, even if it is against the
direction5. Trade is cancelled if the fast JL moves back to the other side of the slow
JL prior to triggering in, or, if a bar closes below the slow JL
6. Setup is the FIRST green bar for longs or red bar for shorts that occurs AT
or AFTER the crossover

JUMP Trade Definitions
1. Island Bar: A bar that is above the line you are jumping off of for longs
(or below for shorts) that is NOT touching that line. It must be a certain
distance, the default being 2 ticks in most cases.
2. Proximity Bar: AFTER an island bar, this bar must pullback to the line we
are jumping off of, typically by 2 ticks or less.
3. Setup Bar: The FIRST Green (or red, for shorts) bar that closes after the
proximity bar has been established. It could be the SAME bar AS theproximity bar.
4. JL Confirmation: The fast JL4 must be above JL9 for longs and below for
shorts. It can be ON or equal to the JL9 in some cases.

4. Can occur off of the JL9, or either of the EMAs (50 or 200)
5. Trade is cancelled when the bar closes on the opposite side of the line
that is being jumped off of, or, JL confirmation goes away.
6. First green bar or doji is the long trade setup when all conditions are met
7. First red bar or doji is the short setup when all conditions are met

All TrendJumper Trade Setups Behave
the Same Way
1. Entry is a breakout beyond the setup bar, typically 2 ticks, depending on
the market.
2. Stops are typically 1 tick on the other side of the setup bar
3. Key level adjustments are very important to make both on the entries
and stops
4. The length of the bar is the x factor and dictates the size of the trade.
5. Targets are 1x, 1.5x and 2x from the high or low of the setup bar
6. Risk Reward ratios are typically 1 to 1.4 or 1 to 1.9 in most cases,
depending on what target we are going for

Other Aspects
Setups are color coded; Blue for Crossovers; White for Jumps off of the JL9, Yellow for
Jumps off of the 50 ema, Magenta for Jumps off of the 200 ema
Setup types can share the same setup bar but the trade profile itself is always thesame no matter what.
There is a small trade rule
There is a long setup bar rule
Breakout and stop levels can and should be adjusted for different markets
TJ can be traded as a single or multi position approach
Setups happen while in a current trade
You have the option to add to your position, or not
Trailing positions should use the Jumpline Indicators to trail, typically 2 ticks below the
last bar that closed above the JL for longs or below for shorts
We typically want to lock in a tick of profit once the trade has progressed to a certain
point, typically the 1stor 2ndtarget19

Small Trade Rule
I typically like to exit my fixed position at the 2ndtarget, 1.5x, unless the setup is too
small. Then I will exit at the 3rdtarget, or 2x.
The small trade rule is dependant upon what market and timeframe chart one istrading
Some setups are just too small to trade, depending on the market and timeframe
Crude Oil Futures 377 tick chart example: I like the 1.5x to be 15 ticks or greater. If it
is less than 15 ticks, I will exit my fixed position at the 2x, (3rdtarget)

Long Bar Rule
Some setup bars are larger than most of the bars that appear on the chart, making the
targets harder to achieve.
I like to exit at the first target in these cases
If the Small Target Rule is 15 ticks, as is the case with the Crude Oil 377 tick chart, then
if the first target is 15 ticks or greater, due to a long setup bar, I will exit at the first
target.

Trade Management Rules
Lock in 1 tick at the first target, unless the trade is a Small Trade and were going for
the 3rdtarget.
If going for the 3rdtarget, then lock in 1 tick at the 2ndtarget
Trade must also travel a minimum amount. In the case of CL 377, for example, it must
go at least 10 ticks to qualify for locking in 1 tick
If the setup is too small to lock in a tick of profit, then dont move the stop and just let
it play out as is.
You can use one of the JLs to cut risk or lock in additional profit as the trade
progresses

Trailing and Adding to your Position
A 2ndposition can be trailed. Use one of the JLs to trail.
For swing trading, you can scale out at different target levels and trail the remainder
You can add another position while still in a trade. Manage it independent of the
original position. I recommend being tighter with your trade management to protect
the original trade
Always make sure you are adequately capitalized to trade multiple positions and that
you have a complete mastery of the strategy

Nuances
EMA convergence; you will find that trades that setup inside the space of where the
50 ema is converging with the 200 ema, that the odds will be somewhat lower.
Setups that occur after a big move, and in the same direction, have a lower chance ofsuccess
Sometimes the proximity bar doesnt actually pull back, but the Jumpline gets closer
to the bar. This is ok.
The first island bar can not be a proximity bar. You need a proximity bar AFTER the
first island bar occurs.
The proximity can be and often IS the setup bar
EMA Jump trades DO require that the JL4 be below the JL9 for shorts and above it for
longs to confirm the setup. It doesnt matter what side of the JL9 the bar closes on
however. The close of the bars correspond to the LINE that is being jumped off of.

Trade Sensibly
TrendJumper should be able to give you enough good trades to quit positive on most
sessions and most charts and markets
Always take a good long look at your charts prior to trading live. You should be able todetermine the best times to trade and IF the chart and timeframe give enough good
trades on a consistent basis.
If trading stocks with daily charts, make sure to place your trades after the market has
opened to avoid getting bad fills due to gaps
Practice, practice, practice; you should be able to execute your trades perfectly and
without hesitation or doubts.
