Riaamaan, Ok, let me see I have to turn my system back on and take a look at it. Omnitrader is what I use. It looks like, at 1:04 the macd just flashed a buy to the long side. By the way, on my system when the macd crosses the zero line it flashes a green flag (long) or a red flag...

Sorry, Wait for the macd 9-12-26 to cross the zero line then take the trade, long/short. snarlyjack

Riamaan, The basic trade is... The Macd 9-12-26. Is it above or below the zero line? Wait for the macd is cross the zero line then take the trade. For an early indicator (signal) use the 8 or 9 sma on the price bars as a early set up. But, the macd fools around at the zero line...

I am still happy!!! Beers for all in the lounge... Before I start telling "war stories" you gotta realize that I am still learning the system and how to trade with all the ins and outs of the whole thing. I am not exactly mr. perfect over here!!! snarlyjack

Bearbelly, If their is a problem with (our) system, it is the market messes around the zero line. It's like everyone knows what is going to happen!!! But they try to pick your pockets before it does happen. It's very frustrating. All I can think of is what you told me before...

Bearbelly: Really? (Bollinger Bands scalping on the 1 minute)??? It does work perfect on the 2 minute charts just like Trader28 taught us. I don't think I'll change...It took me two months to learn this system and I like it. snarlyjack

Riaaman: Coming to you from Missoula, Montana. Home of the University of Montana. By the way we play Northern Colorado this weekend! Go Griz... This is exactly how Trader28 would make that trade. He taught us an excellent system... I just wanted everyone to be able to watch the...

Ok, everybody... 1:00 Mountain Time or 3:00 Eastern Time YM Market at 12120 The perfect trade using Trader28 method... (1) The 9-12-26 Macd is breaking to the upside (zero line cross). (2) The price bar breaks up above the 8 or 9 sma. (3) Its riding up the Bollinger Band...

And the beat goes on... The ym is up (110 points, right now) Elections are tomorrow. Both the Democrats and Republicans think they are going to win! My gut tells me this market is going to stay just about where it is, at least through the elections...That's my guess... snarlyjack

12:00 Mountain Time/12:00 Eastern Time (ym market). It's playing with ya bearbelly...I am thinking zero line reject... Their it goes.... snarlyjack

Bearbelly, In the past I would have lost money on that trade. Then when it turned up I would have said dammm... Now, I wait one more bar for it to close cleanly through the 9sma. Then I jump on it and take my chances. I switched to colored bars instead of candles and I wait for one...

Trader28 and Bearbelly and I do have a couple things in common! We might be crazy futures market traders. But, I would not "fade trade" this in my wildest dreams. I guess I have lost to much money in the past than to fade trade a fast moving market. I don't know, but someone...

Javs5150, I only trade the ym (mini dow), pure market movement. I don't know much about individual stocks. But I would think to trade them this way a person would need to take two steps. 1). Pick your stock, watch for it to break through the macd zero line. (zero line cross) 2)...

ElectricSavant, Thanks for all your help! I've read a lot of your messages and I agree with you. ET is the best trading forum that I have ever found. It is very informative and helpful. I enjoy my time here very much!!! Thanks to you and all of the community of traders here. Once...

ES, Now remember I am just kinda a nubee here... What I have found in the ym market is, their are about 4-5 bars in a good trade (5-8 minutes) then the trade starts flipping back on you and starts getting weird. I've learned to get in, make some money (usually 7 to 20 points). Then get...

ElectricSavant, I am just learning to trade with Bollinger Bands and the Macd System. I am getting better than I was but I feel that I am just learning the system. ES...Why don't you like trading with Bollinger Bands? snarlyjack

I lose a little money and I make a little money. Nothing to live off of yet but I do have big dreams... When I first started it was at Woody's CCI. I did learn a lot (zero line crosses and zero line rejects) but I could never deal with not looking at prices and the CCI to me is a different...

T28, I've read a bunch of posts here on ET about bollinger bands. Some of these people I respect (never met them but I read what they say). Anyway, there seems to be quite a few people here that feel if their was a" holy grail" of trading that bollinger bands would be it. Bollinger...

Trader28, Check out page 158. The Bollinger Bands. I use the settings that you suggested 8 or 9 (instead of 20) and played around with the s/d. And came up with 1.76. So on Omnitrader the settings are 8 or 9 with a s/d of 1.76. Basically your settings. Then I matched up the macd...

Trader28, I have no problems with the MACD, in fact I really like it. Personally, I dislike the CCI as a indicator. I really like your system with the Macd and Bollinger Bands. I've always considered Bollinger Bands kinda the "holy grail" but by themselves they need a little help...
