I only use constant range charts because they have a fixed ATR and that's what makes the stop draw so smoothly. I am surprised if eSignal doesn't offer those by now. You could always upgrade to Ensign. Quotetracker has them too, I believe.

The white arrows are automatically generated. With SAR, you would get long or short as appropriate.

+1 today. Only took this little trade between the white lines. Always seem to have a hard time getting going after a 3 day weekend. It seems like there are just way too many holidays lately.

Will be trading tomorrow using R40 and R120 charts on the ER2 with a Volatility Stop (15, 3.9) and a WMA (39). Looking for volatility flips and pullbacks through the WMA in the direction of the VS.

I'm still here. +3.1 points today. Have spent more time with the charts and have settled on R120 and R40 charts both with the VS set to 15, 3.9. Am still working on my rules and have been in the black most days. Yesterday was an exception, but I had a "relationship issue" flare up which...

Ended up setting the R40 chart to VS 3. Netted out 3 points scalping the VS flips. 9 trades overall.

Maybe you could post a chart so I can see what your Parabolic looks like. The settings window would help, as well.

The days I make 7-8+ trades are the days I am the biggest loser. The days I make 1-2 trades are usually the most profitable. As such, I find if I am trading too much, it is usually better to just go to the gym

Exits are another issue. With the VS, you give up quite a bit if you are exiting on a VS flip. Perhaps using a target would be appropriate. Perhaps using the R40 chart for exits. I don't know, but would appreciate any input.

R80 (8 tick) Constant Range chart with Volatility Stop (15, 6). This chart allows for 48 ticks of leeway, which seems to be about right for staying out of the noise. It seems like the noise level used to be about 18-24 ticks, but that things have been more volatile lately. I am still...

R40 (4 tick) Constant Range chart with Volatility Stop (15, 1).

I used to have an ESignal data feed, but never used their charting. I used it to drive Ensign. I would think they would have a Volatility Stop indicator. I haven't heard it referred to by a different name, however. I spent quite a bit of time on my charts today. I have re-vamped some of my...

Here's the settings window.

Here's a R100 chart with the Parabolic set to 20, 20.

Hi GFMChina, Here's what it looks like (pink) on the R60 Chart.

I am noticing this system may work on the EUR/US contract. I have the VS set to 15, 3.1.

Perseverence is a double-edged sword. I have always been like a dog with a bone when I think I am on to something. Sometimes though, it probably takes the bigger person to accept when something isn't working and it is time to move on.

Here's a LT chart - R120 with the VS (15, 4). Ensign shows it as profitable, although I don't completely trust their numbers.

Today's chart.

Today wasn't great. I ended up over-trading, taking 10 trades and netting out a little over a point. I have never been able to get the Parabolic to look great on a chart - range charts, anyway. No, I haven't backtested. Would need more data for that . Haven't looked into what it would take...
