Trading times for Monday trough Friday

Discussion in 'Trading' started by Walther, May 17, 2003.

  1. Those of you who are holding overnight and used 15:10est trading time, made a bundle.

    this morning 10:40 signal had completed cci divergence at 10:50, it was correct call, however drop was only short lived,
    You could have exited on next trading time 11:15est. There was a perfect cci divergence right there. So so far we have 2 correct trading times today.
    After completing this week doing Nasdaq100, I was asked to do S&P 500 so that is what I will do next week.

    Could you post a chart of the 10:50a CCI divergence completion ? I want to see if we're seeing the same thing.
    Thanks.

  3. 5 min charts, Nasdaq100, 8 period CCI

    10:30est High 1128.61 CCI 95.67

    10:50est High 1132.65 CCI 82.26

    Divergence can be seen better on 2 min or 3 min charts but for this demonstration I am using only 1 and 5 min charts to keep it simple and easy to follow.

  4. Trading time 14:25est was correct call, CCI divergence started 14:15 and was completed by 14:30est.
    Today we had 3 correct trading times.
    Still waiting for a wrong call . ( not really )

    Walther - looking at the trading times, where was the opportunity at 10:40 and 11:15? I am looking at the charts, and don't see how those times offered anything significant. Could you post a chart showing the trades made off of your times?

    14:25 looks like it was around a short term bottom, good for a .10-.20 scalp. But again, I don't understand what happened at 10:40 and 11:15 for you to claim three correct signals.

    Thanks for the clarification.

    Certainly won't quibble with the 14.25-- the was "the" turn given that most of the day was, again, spent in churn. However, the 10.40 time was a dud, IMO, as it was truly minor and in the middle of a run. The 11.15 got a turn, but again, it was in the midst of a wiggle that wasn't resolved (in a minor way) til 11:54, or with emphasis at 14.25.

    Please don't take this as negative criticism. A good cycle system will have a few duds now and again, but is most effective when you aren't whipped in and out of a position during churns. Not knowing your methodology, it's difficult to suggest anything. But I will say that most cycle timers rely on a confluence of hits (ie, hits from higher time frames) to indicate "better" times (ie, major vs. minor or insignificant).

    Again, good work and thanks for sharing. Ana Maria

  8. Do you have a recap on a chart because I don't follow in real time.
