I use everything as a combination. The Keltner shows when something is overbought. The ADX indicates when the trend is getting old. The Chaikin Osc. is used to indicate when the smart money is no longer flowing in the direction of the trend. The trigger is used to indicate the end of the momentum. Together they've been a powerful combination for me.

Thanks for the answer. Very unique use of the indicator and it seems to coordinate well with your strategy. Continued success to you, your trading, and your journal.
 
Nice thread. I am a little confused though, are you trading real dollars, or paper trading? Sometimes it sounds like you are actually executing the trades, and sometimes you seem to be estimating slippage, so I am a little confused. Good luck.

The only one I didn't take was the first trade. I listed it as marginal and said I didn't take. I included it to show how the setup works. I took the others. I'm trying to give anyone that wants to give it a shot after one or two months of following along, a estimate of what to expect. My slippage and your slippage may be a little different. I have a habit of putting in my order just before the trigger bar completes. Everything from now on will be as close to realtime as I can make it.

PM,

Just to make sure, how many points did you take the lasts months with this method?

Thx

I don't know what this single method made last month. I use this and a advanced method to get more trades. Last month was my best month of the year for the combination. I was up over 40 pts.
I didn't trade about 1/3 of the month due to laziness. Hopefully having a thread will get me out of bed. Just wait a month and you'll get see how this method does in realtime.

I'd like to see a down bar to start tomorrow. If not and it closes below 962.00, then I'll take the long trade. Otherwise the risk/reward isn't good enough for me.

Thanks for starting this well written and very informative journal!

Can you elaborate further on how you evaluate on these "overnight setups"?

And what do you think would be a good risk/reward ratio with this system?

Thanks again.

Long from 960.75 stop was calculated yesterday at 3.75 so stop is set at 957.00. Nothing to do now but wait.

Shouldn't the DT with Div at 10:44 and 10:48 was and opposite signal and therefor exit for you?
