For the divergence traders out there... Has anyone looked at Cynthia Kase's indicators? I've just downloaded the series of articles she's written on trading and technical analysis. A lot of interesting ideas, albeit material you have to work with a little...

A mate of mine at one of the London arcades (bund trader) tells me that noone is making any cash in FI. All the money is being made by the stock index traders. Different game, different approach required but perhaps time to switch.... Any thoughts?

So I gather... What does that mean though? Pushing the discussion on a bit, for Daytrading systems, one can look to Volatility Breakout for inspiration. For Long term trend following, Double Moving Average Crossover works pretty well, if applied to a diversified portfolio of futures. But...

That's a fairly emotional reply. The point of my post was to see if anything stuck to the wall on this timeframe. So often it's day trading or long term trend following. What's in between?

Now that I've got your attention, I'd firstly like to thank Acrary for his thought provoking posts. That said, here are a few links that highlight the importance of questioning authority. ----------------- "You might be interested to know that the SP market starts trending with 30 min...

Not convinced that suggestion will make a significant difference to the results of trading the signals by themselves. Eyeball the charts and see what you think. The reason I took the 'confirmed' MACD crossover approach was pretty straightforward. If you look at the beginning of the thread, I...

I think that's a crucial point. Having now looked into the SPM a bit, it seems the method provides context and possible entry points for **discretionary** traders. It's **not** a complete system to be traded mechanically.

great post.

Here's a series of SPM charts from the last few days. Some details: - ER2 - 2 min timeframe - 89SMA acts as a signal filter, trading only with the trend - Go long/short on a breach of the MACD zero line or MACD EMA, whicever is higher/lower - 2pt profit target, 1pt stop loss - No...

JJ, apologies! I'll post some charts anyway... Might be good for discussion.
