The ER2 is the probably the best looking chart today so far atleast. The YM is all over the place. Did anyone ever figure out if Sierra Charts allow offsets for SMAs? I'm still using the 9 SMA.

YM is starting to look nasty again. It's still early, but may be another good day to just watch the market...

Yeah, The YM is already looking very sloppy...

T28 - I was asking BB what he used to do, not what he does now. Hes using your strategy now :)

You know, I cant find one that suits me. I just 'discovered' this 5 min thing when I posted. It looks alot smoother than the 2min for obvious reasons, but it misses a few of the signals, like this last down move that just happened (YM). Im still debating, but may give the 5 min a try all day...

Agreed. I like to get up and walk around or something while in a trade. I cant stand sitting there and watching the price bounce around so much. That's just me though. Im looking at 5 minute charts and thinking about trying that out instead of the 2 min. Have you looked at 5 min at all? Seems to...

How did everyone do today? The YM had a few false signals...

Could someone please re-post JJ's pivot points formula? I cant seem to find it and Ive looked through the thread a few times now. Ive been able to find the other adjustments, just not the pivot point stuff. Thanks!

Is the 3 period moving average a simple moving average or exponential?

First off, to Trader28, Id also like to say THANKS! Great post. SnarlyJack - Could you explain to me more the adjustments youve made to the system and how to use them? If youd rather not post them, please PM them to me. Ive also been watching the YM with this system, and it seems to be...

correction to my previous post: the slow stoch settings should be 15,5,2

Ive been trading the ER2, ES, and YM For the YM and ES, here is what I suggest: These both dont seem to do well with zero line crosses. Wait for the MACD cross to be below zero for shorts, or above zero for longs. You can also do what I do, add a slow stoch (15,5,3) This can confirm...

Trader28 - Sorry to bring this post back up, but I hadnt seen this part yet. Ive still been using the 9 SMA. First off, the 3 SMA +2 horizontal shifts is to get better entry and exits. The 25 SMA is to determine when the trend ends. The 3 SMA will pop in and out of price, but when the 25...

I took a quick peek at the 3,10,16 MACD and it didnt look that great with the YM. But once I start toying with the ER2 I'll have to check it out. Another 8 point trade just now, that I could have stayed in but got out anyways. It was only 8 points, but thats over 40 points YM today. 1.3...

Agreed, This system seems to work great. I havent even been looking for divergences, just using the system 'as-is' the way trader28 originally posted it. I'll have to search for Woodie's modifications and check them out. But as-is, up about 34 points YM in the demo account as of 1:56 CST...

Trader28 - Have you ever traded just the 10-min charts? That question goes to everyone I guess. It seems that if you traded only the 10-min chart, using the same guidelines, you could really make just 1-2 large trades on most days, and make a very nice profit. I guess it just...

thanks for the link! I'll check it out.

Yeah, forgot to mention that. By zero rules, I meant MACD crossing above or below zero helping with momentum depending on the direction of the trade. But yeah, as far as the actual crossing of zero, really doesnt seem to work with these particular settings. Could you explain what...

Has anyone been using this with the ES? It looks like you can make several .5-1.0 scalps a day with the 2 min. This is just trading the MACD crossovers ignoring the zero line rule. If you follow the zero line rule targets can be slightly larger. With the 10-min there seems to be 1-2 larger...
