Added a filter to not take a zero line cross if I have taken a trade within the last 5 bars. This way I only take one trade during those times the zero line gets crossed back and forth during choppy times. It seems best to just take one trade and let a stop or time exit finish the trade...

Added a filter to not take a short if below keltner band and vice versa.

I'm working on my code for this in ninjatrader tonight. This is a good way for me to try to improve my abilities on that front. Thanks to Jahajees suggestions I brought the raw system from losing to being profitable. The win rate I have is still low tho. It seems it should be above %60 for the...

Jahajee you are perhaps too kind. Thanks. I am also going to look at trading this with certain stocks on certain days, they can have larger trend moves then any index.

But dude, tell me how you really feel lol

Nice updraft after that cross.

Geez I must be ignorant. I was confused by this "You are saying to BUY when MACD crosses above SIGNAL (blue crosses above red) and with this crossing must take place ABOVE the ZERO line? You are saying to SELL when MACD crosses below SIGNAL (blue crosses below red) and with this...

I like using ninjatrader to code and back test ideas, but there is no way I could use it in real life especially with order entry. It literally asks me to shut it down at least once a day with some error message or other. When I got a new faster computer it got better but still, would really not...

Bought SPY at 86.54 at 14.10 sold 87.06 14.19 didn't wait for the keltner target of 87.45 which was hit.

I will keep watching. Recently I have been doing much more systematic trading and been the better for it. I like the clear cut nature of this, but I know the art aspect will come with experience. I did scalp this little pop up just now. I exited when I found myself wondering "wow how high...

Well with my lowly comfort level, I have accumulated 107 ticks with this, so, that works for me. I can see yes how doing this with 1g or 5g shares a pop would be what you say it is.

Yeah I see that lol. Considering this is day 2 of me following this method it is pretty cool. I just want to make sure I have some of the ideas straight, considering how not having them made me miss that sell off at the resistance. Just bear with me and let me study this day 2 here. I am one of...

Ok so now MACD 9 trigger line is below zero. This means any MACD cross downs are a strong sell, and any cross ups are a weak buy. The cross down of 9 trigger line was not a short signal, but more an indication that now the predominant trend on this 2min time frame is to the downside. I perhaps...

Awesome post! Thanks, I added that post of yours to my ongoing rules collection. I see that there was a weak sell (with that MACD cross of zero definition mentioned in the previous post you linked), along with stochastic coming off of over bought and a general resistance area mentioned by...

Looks like a zero line cross will coincide with breakdown from this little channel lows at 87.70.

I turned off my Ninja script until I have some clue about this manual. Looks like awaiting zero line cross to the downside. I see the MACD crossover tho, it seems to me on 2min chart it is above zero line still. Stochastics are crossing down from overbought. One thing I noticed when...

11.19a - 11.20a Cross above zero line long, saw about 87.50 to 87.70 as entries and then spike thru keltner clear thru to 88.50, would want to exit into there, that "wow this is great moment" exit. I think this long exit is into the resistance Jahajee mentioned. So we might have cleared the...

I think with my 3 months experience it isn't enough experience for me to be trading in record volatility. I do think tho with the right experience probably is fine, as you and Don proved lol. That's ok I have patience.

It's 11.07am. I am watching SPY with this, I see the zero line cross up at 10.50am, low of that bar was 86.75 and high 87.45. So was one whole trade with this basically buying in that fast move up and selling into that 87.50 area (also my keltner band target)? I think I am trying too much...
