I was working on a micro-scalping system...

Quote from RangeTrader:

Sigh, that was just a demonstration of that indicator alone...

My current trade timing chart is here... This is just the "entry timing" chart... There is a lot more that goes into it.

i was doing the same years ago.your display is not good...
 
Yea, I told him that... He may win 30 trades in a row, but the one trade he loses will cost him 30 handles... LoL!!!

I dunno though. A lot of the information out there is false. I knew a guy who couldn't make money with a 1 handle stop and a 1 handle target. Then he started making money steadily with a 2 handle stop and a 1 handle target and put in a LOT of trades through a day...

The problem with trading for very small amounts is that the market noise screws you up.

Personally... I trade with the market. If the market is trading with a 50 point range per half session... I simply don't trade it...

If we have a nice half session range of 10 handles with a trading range around 3-5 handles that is where I am at my best!


What I have found is that to effectively trade you need a stop that is 75% of the short term trading range, and you need to try to capture at least 75% of the trading range per trade. You can lower your stop to 50% as long as your timing the tops/bottoms well enough with no worry of market noise clipping it. Best to trail your stop down a bit locking in a profit once the cycle starts to move so you don't get stuck when the market shifts back into the next trading cycle.

So, if the market is trading with a 5-6 handle short term trading range. Four handle stop, four handle target.

Either trade the tape or wait for different conditions...

I like medium speed bull market rallies. They maintain my favorite trading range. The very high internals trending rallies are ridiculous with their compressed sub 2 handle trading range... Only thing you can do in those conditions is buy and hold...

Selloffs never have a small trading range even with internals trending like mad... They are also a bit random and chaotic...

no athlonmank8, everybody gets what he is saying except you.

So that makes you the odd man out.

There use to be a casino out at one of those Indian reservations in New Mexico.

All I had to do was show up and they would make phone calls and within 20 minutes they would have a full table of retired poker players.

Like the old saying goes, "If you don't know who the mark is, it is you."

So it's both of you then.......? :confused:
 
The indicator definitely works well in stable/uptrending chop as I knew it would, but I have to use a different technical analysis system to time the big morning/evening moves with any accuracy.

This shall be referred to as the LUNCHTIME system... :D

Unless we have rally internals by 10am tomorrow I am putting this fun toy away until the next uptrend...

Hourly/daily getting a little extended... Maybe tomorrows news can catalyze a fun little rally. We shall see!!!

Were not "Bulls are screwed" overbought, but give it a few more hours of medium strength uptrend and were there... I ain't bidding on no dips higher than 1325...

Is this pattern making anyone else dizzy or is it just me?
