Quote from sammybea:

cathy how has the chimp been for you this week?

I have not been trading for a few weeks. Bob was in and out of the hospital. But today there were some really great Chimp setups. Too bad I had to take care of paperwork:D
 
On the chart below...
I picked a really perfect set up to illustrate this.

A is the 13 min EMA cross.

B is the 1 min EMA cross after the cross on the greater trend. You would enter the short here.
B on the stochs is the confirmation of the down trend.

C shows the triggers for the exit...one cross confirms the other.
 
When I wrote that "Chimp Charts" code I did so without any real understanding of the technique. I was just wondering if it was close to what Cathy was doing?
If I recall correctly, that code had no positive expectancy on most etf's and equities.
If you want the Chimp Charts EL, I suggest you ask someone who knows the technique to help you with the coding.

I realized it was not a finished strategy and was hoping some "expert" might be able to modify it so that it works better.
I just really appreciated you sending that to me to try.
