There is no 10 min rule as such, I just have a greater level of confidence if it is supporting the trade and they are usually the big movers so I wouldn't expect the long to go gangbusters
Where's Electric? I am missing his presence on this forum today. Here's my chart for what it is worth. I hope I have my settings for MACD right. I see 2 trades so far, one short ( not marked) and one long. Good trading all.
There have been a couple more than that, you only have Zero Line crosses on that chart... no MACD MA crosses... if the MACD crosses it's MA as it did about 16 mins ago and it is already above the Zero Line that is a trade Also note the size of this move as the 10 min was approaching it's Zero Line
________________________________________________ Thanks Trader28. Let me go and include MACD MAs. Good trading all
Ok but remember, only take MA crossover longs if above zero line, and short MA crosses if below Zero line If you are below the Zero Line and you get a crossover to the upside wait for it to cross the Zero Line first, and vice versa for shorts They are the only 2 type of trades, Zero Line crosses, and MACD MA crosses (Zero Line supported) And remember the little things like avoiding trades during lunchtime chop etc to improve your strike rate
