Momentum Trading Strategy

Hello,
I am looking for a Momentum Trading Strategy for short spikes - currently I use the following indicators:

Entry:
Momentum - when the upper band will crossed (will be calculated dynamically)
when there is a massive volume increase (must be confirmed in 2 minutes)
when the exponential MA of 10 min is above the 20 min exp. MA

Exit:
When the 10 min exp. MA crosses the 20 min exp. MA (going down)

Please let know your thoughts on this rules - do you have any recommendations which indicators I can add in this strategy?

rules are probably - crap, but one has to start somewhere

test them on paper
 
I remember a noob's post that went something like, "Learning price TA would take too long. You can learn moving averages in 1 day". :)

(My first exposure to TA involved mutual funds and the "20 day MA cross". It was at a time when that concept worked particularly well. And if we had the same "market player makeup environment" today, it would probably work just as well now. However there is lots, LOTS more to it as we know.)


A while back I thought I had a slick moving average crossover pair, 15 x 30, man was it looking good no matter the instrument. Then all of a sudden one day and by sheer accident I took a look at the cross and glanced at Macd which always sits in my lower panel, a permanent fixture. I lafffffffed my ass off. These realistic low#PRICE moving average crossovers cannot compete with the Macd 0-line cross and dig this, getting rid of all of them gives you a nice clean price chart.

Wall Street's 50 x 200? I can fly to Europe and back waiting for this slowpoke to cross - right-click\send to \Recycle Bin. Warren Buffet uses either this one or the 233 x 987 when he holds his stocks for 3 lifetimes. At least he believes in the Fibonacci Sequence :)
 
Geez. I saw one of your posts and thought, "this guy knows something".

Unfortunately, your concerns with "MACD cross" puts all of that in question. Makes me wonder whether or not you know anything at all. No offense intended.

Try again, this time with the Macd 0-line cross, not the regular Macd signal line cross.

Oh... let me sum it up for you...

MACD is a STUPID TECHNICAL TOOL and a 2nd derivative of price. If you didn't your "your signal" prior to that, your trading method is BUPKIS!!

Try this: pick your instrument, your choice, then go live call for couple weeks against me. Right here or new thread. With 17k posts you've got a Phd., have an apartment at ET, you must be good. OK?

"Couple of weeks"? I've got >20 years of history.

Got news for you, 27-yr old child... I'm relatively famous. If you refute anything I claim with conviction, you're "poking the bear". I've made $Millions (have YOU "made $$Millions?)... had my results published in Investors Business Daily and Barrons. You have a claim to fame? Let's hear it.

Not claiming "I'm always right", but anyone with common sense would at least consider my views.

(And you're the same guy who admitted to voting for Obama, then asked me if I am racist? Treading upon thin ground, don't you think?)

Chicken! Go up against me LIVE. Your 17k posts invalidate automatically any claim to fame in the real world, dummy, don't you know that?

Nothing like healthy real-time proof.

Call your instrument now, pick something we have the real-time data for.

ON IGNORE!! (Should have put you on ignore last time when you questioned whether or not I was a racist. My bad.)
