hi John - good work here in the journal.. - did you explain what this nn cci is, i didn't catch it, pls let me know if it is in a previous post or if not, could you perhaps give an idea, thx and all the best.
My own neural networks use only a 5 minute bar. They are on a separate pc that I glance at only when deciding on a trade. On my primary trading pc, I have two 5 minute charts on my charting software, one with the cci indicator and one with the rsi indicator. I keep a daily open for pivots. I keep a 60 min open to see the trend of the day, and finally I use a 3 minute for early entry. Almost forgot to mention that on a 3rd operating system running on a virtual pc (my primary trading pc is linux running vmware which runs Windows XP) I use a software application that is similar to the CBOT's market profile but different. I have mixed feelings about it.
Johnny Walker and fader, and anyone else I may have missed, thanks for your kind comments! The NN CCI is my abbreviation for my neural network commodity channel index indicator based trading system. It is my own work based on 1 year of ZB data. By my own work I mean I designed the criteria, not the software. In my regular working hours (I'm not being specific on purpose) I work on data mining and data analysis involving just under a terabyte of data. I use WEKA (open source machine learning software) for this analysis plus wrappers I've written myself in python and java. For my trading work, I rely on a third party vendor for the foundation and create my own stuff on top of that. The main issue is that, while I could write everything myself using WEKA and my own java classes, it would take too long. It is better to work on the inputs and the data rather than building the foundational clases yourself.
Neural network (NN) RSI and CCI are turning or about to turn negative. You may want to think about shorting. Use your own indicators. I'm really cautious due to indecisveness of the market. I mean, come on, how much more of this chop around 112 21 can we take?
Remember what I said about the double 00's. Get ready to exit on 1. Hold the other. Remember my personal observation that I'm good at picking 4 - 6 tick moves.
If you haven't gotten out consider exiting all at 112 29 - 112 30. If you have one left, hold for small loss or breakeven.
What I'm trying to say is, the market will mess with you at the double 00's. Consider taking whatever few ticks you can get, especially since we entered late.
