Macd

Yes the hard way is my Tradestation MACD "Zero" line cross "automated" strategy that is currently running a $22,800 per contract per year profit rate. The key is your entry criteria at the "zero" line and what your first profit target is set at. The MACD strategy that I have running was developed to tread water or make a small amount of money in the chop, and then nail big moves like today. Very simple strategy IMO and a fairly easy system to discretionary trade from. Today this strategy ROCKED!

But I guess some people are just mentally stuck in the Ditch! :eek:

Btw, where is your charts and strategy?
 
Thats it, I am feed up with this damn MACD method and I have just pulled off my last portion of my trailing stop at 1185.25 (just after 2:50 pm CST). I had a terrible initial entry for this SHORT trade at 1201.25....what a $hity trade method. :eek:

All you suckers that are thanking the biggest baboon on this board for the "nice" charts had better do some backtesting on macd xo on a 5 min chart before you start risking some real cash or you'll find out the hard way.:p

great reply - really constructive. It seems you have 1200+ posts on this board and this is the best you can come up with - negative useless garbage thus demonstrating yourself to be the real baboon perhaps - think a little before you compose. I hope your sex life is better - after 1200 encounters I'll bet you're a 2 minute performer at best !

If there are people out there who would just jump into any method without backtesting and paper trading then they would belong in the baboon cage with you - assume you are a minority and therefore such advice goes without saying. If a guy is generous enough to share his trading experience's with anyone - who the hell are you to put him down.

Wow, I'm shaking all over. Too bad it's pretty obvious you've never done a real trade in your life, let alone make a living from trading and the last time you've been shagged, you can't even remember. Have a nice day.

One thing I gotta hand to you, AMT, you've got some thick skin. Good luck on getting laid... yikes!
 
Hi folks:
I hope you all had fun today. I wanted to mention that I use MACD along with some other tools and it seems to offer a good basis for trading the ES, YM and Russell contracts. I was a little surprised to hear someone suggest that it would not work on 5 min bars. I switch back and forth between 3 and 5 min bars and for me, it seems work pretty well.

One thing that you may want to investigate (that no one has mentioned yet) is using MACD to indentify trend breaks. Most traders have trouble trading the open, and trading chop. If you look into it a bit, you may see that drawing trend lines under the MACD troughs can help you isolate possible swing points, especially on the open (first hour).

Good luck everyone, and if anyone asks, we never had this conversation :)
