Anyone use my method?

observation: my only win out of my first 3 trades today was when the adx was above 30....I took the other trades when the adx was a hair shy of 30, but got stopped out as a result...

 

Sherm..I take the 5 min setups and the 1 min setups....and yes the stops are different, but calculated the same using1/3 of the channel width.

 

Although this 5 min YM setup was a hair shy of adx30....it is still working out great...I didnt take it because I was in the ES 1 min trade at the time

I will wait for the adx to be above 30 though....

note: please ignore the top info panel on the charts....amibroker does not export the correct info on that for some reason...

 

Thanks Dennis.

I am actually looking at the strategy with ETF's also. Here is a nice move with OIH today. I still like the CMF indicator over the CCI.

I think you may need to tighten stops a little and take profits quicker using the ETF's, but it still seems to work well.

 

Well Im done tradiing for the morning....I gotta take my son to preschool...

Today's mistake: I took 2 trades with the adx not above 30

Result: I got stopped out on both

The only win I had out of the 3 trades was when all the ducks were lined up (i.e. the adx was above 30)

So....I'll follow the trading rules exactly and better trades will follow.

-Dennis


attached is a follow up on that 5min YM trade with the adx a hair shy of 30 at entry signal.....not working out so great at this moment....

 

been following this system for a while looks like a setup is forming in the ES right now. Just need that CCI Divergence

// DIVERGENCE INDICATOR
/*
FileName: Mod - Osc-Price Divergence31
October 25, 2005
Version 1.0
====================================
Use with MACD or Stochastics
program detects and plots trendlines on oscillators
generates price divergence data
====================================
Program is built as an include module
Program does not return anything. It plots the divergence area.
The global variables below are available to controlling code
===============================================================
- Modify divergence detection to account for continuation cases properly
- Currently case #18 useed for continuation
