List of Popular Trading Systems

Quote from bighog:

Here is my "HOLY GRAIL", as a daytrader of the e-mini ES.

Do not be a master of everything, just be a master of one.

I use a 5 min chart of the ES. On that chart is a 9 or 10 period (bar) moving average combined with a 18 or 20 period moving average. Yep, i trade the faster crossing the slower. Along with the crossses i plot the days pivot points R1-R2-R3, the pivot point, S1-S2-S3.

Here's what you do, take the crosses and use the pivot lines as profit objectives and stop points. Really neat it is.

Here's what else is needed: "Honor thy self". Take your experience as a discretionary trader to know your own intuition when a setup occurs, pull the trigger as the signals from the "PLAN" (stated above as the moving average crosses and the lines from the days pivot points).

The experience from the past will tell you when the mkt is going sideways and crosses are to be avoided, but if the ranges are decent to your liking then you trade the distance between the lines.

In other words, your day is "PRE_PLANNED" for you before you even begin.

Now sit back and play the music of the mkt and have some fun. IT REALLY IS THAT EASY. YES, it will not happen overnight, but it will come.

PS, anyone know a website to "connect" trading partners together? I am thinking of teaching a partner to trade. 50/50 on all expenses and profits, should be fun. Thanks

That's similiar to what I'm putting together. I find that Bollinger bandwidth makes a good filter for the low volatility ranges that tend to kill MA crossover systems with whipsaws. No volatility=No trade or switch to breakouts.
 
Bighog,

Regarding your comments

" use a 5 min chart of the ES. On that chart is a 9 or 10 period (bar) moving average combined with a 18 or 20 period moving average. Yep, i trade the faster crossing the slower. Along with the crossses i plot the days pivot points R1-R2-R3, the pivot point, S1-S2-S3."


How do you define/determine R1, R2,R3 and S1,S2, S3 pivot points?

Thanks much,
 
i stick to the old triple MA cross over. I use 5, 10, 20 day data on bloomberg. I am exclusively short. I look for inductries coming out of favor that can no longer sustain earnings...then the trend hopefully is my firend. I get out if i am not making $$ instantly.
