I thought with futs limit down I don't have the experience with this historic volatility. I prefer more mundane days when I know that if my orders are hit it has to do with that stock that day and not some overall huge market move one way or the other, but then I don't know that much about this...

Another possibility is that since volatility cycles back and forth, that maybe this would work best COMING out of no volatility, and after a period of volatility, that time to expect some chop. Could even do something like check for sequences of losing and winning trades and see if there is a...

I've been collecting gods actual words lol on this from one of his very first posts on another thread: " Fast line crossing Zero is trigger 2 min MACD on any of the emini contracts, watch for it to cross it's Moving Average Line with a Zero Line Cross, exceptionally high percentage trade...

Yeah the sideways was bad for my ninjatrader script today and yesterday, but had to trade thru it or miss the nice moves. When I added an ADX and looked back over time it kept me out of that one trade the finally broke the logjam of chop. I think the 10 minutes profit or bail is one way of...

Long SPY at 90.93 profit at 91.72. I then switched the strategy to run not on bar close, needs to run tick by tick, so I missed that earlier entry closer to 90.70.

I programmed the basics of this in NinjaTrader. I want to add the 10 minutes no profit bail idea because I think this will improve the win loss ratio and is an interesting concept. I also have been using a simple percentage profit target which is also the stop loss, and tweaking it by eye for...

I would like that...

Uhm I tried to find about your keltner settings, but I kept seeing pictures of a guy in a straight jacket over and over again lol. Do you use a standard Keltner, on 2 min what average? I like that idea for a target based on ATR.

FWIW I saw that long just now. I see you have to trade thru some flat times and make sure not to miss a pop like that. One way to time some exits is wait till you are saying "oh my god this long is so great" and then exit really fast lol.

I've been only getting whipsawed with this today lol. Day 1 for me tho. I wish the SPM thread was open.

DUK -.07 and PFE +.05 and went lower without me. I should've brought up chart on PFE. Upped size today so probably chicken from that.

1 short in KO, got out fast in time for hard reversal up, +.06 on that.

Every once in a while KO gives me a big winner, +.22 on that short, and +.08 on trusty PFE short.

Made .05 total on PFE short and DUK short. Small loss on PFE and DUK was decent but didn't hold that long, went from 15.58 to much lower.

Hey thanks. I was thinking a similar thing with the openings. It seems to me that it is possible to then trade these stocks after the opening if you are in them, or, maybe trade out of a loss. But, I notice with the openings they either are profitable almost immediately, or, it is some other...

I think this is some historic volatility. I don't know that much but this seems like a tactic that will work best during workaday type market action. Don is old enough to have seen other market condition, but, I'm sure he is still making money with this every day.

I had 2 losses in longs, DUK -.06 and PFE -.04. It seems I got filled within fair value, because this was like some other losses. They didn't hammer against me, it's just they didn't move at all really, but when they started drifting down I got out. I do think if I could auto trade some profit...

Yay my local Rep Gillibrand voted no. She's new, didn't owe the system that much I guess.

Yeah. I took out COP a while ago after it hammered me a few times. Meanwhile PFE T are consistent earners. Also, I haven't been doing openings on some of these big news days, probably a mistake but, in my thinking openings are for more mundane conditions.

I noticed I have been doing best with T, and with this news based market I have been maybe too wary of opening orders. This am only 1, long in T +.08.
