My MACD draws a zero line and a histogram...and the MA...You can see the position of the MA's where the histogram measures their spread...all of this placed over a zero line background.

ok..i went back to the first post...didn't you just violate this rule with your long this AM?


They'll go long on a MA cross to the upside when it is well below the Zero Line and wonder why it fails and has no momentum

No because I was talking about the 2min, not the 10min

The 2min MACD crossed the Zero Line at 10:52 this morning, but because the 10min is below Zero and it has been choppy I scalped 9 ticks instead of going for 20 ticks (2 points)
 
ok thanks! this cleared up much...sorry for making you repeat yourself...i just don't have time until tonight to read this thread slowly and completely...

I hope others have been helped with my stupidness!

P.S. it's prolly good i did not re-read...as I would have a whole list of stupid questions...embarrassing myself yet again...

  • Trade ER2
  • 10m chart with 9d sma + MACD 12-26-9
  • 2m Chart with 9d sma + MACD 12-26-9

Rules
  • Do not trade the first 1/2 hr.
  • You are trading off of the 2 min chart. Enter when the fast line of the "MACD MA" crosses the zero line...long or short accordingly. The 10 min chart is there to determine confirmation, cut your trade off with 1/2 targets if there is not a zero line confirmation with the 10m chart.
  • Stay in the trade for 10 min usually but you can get a "feel" for how "volatile" or "choppy" the day is after trading this a while. If you make 200 bucks with one contract before a hold time of 10 minutes TAKE IT!
  • You can jump start your entries by experimenting with that 9sma in either chart. Be careful here, this is discretionary.
 
Seems like a strong short setting up here with a 20 tick target...


edit
paper entry at 707.20 at 12:00(est)...target 705.20 stop...ummmm...10 minutes and .....????anybody? (I believe you need a stop together with the time stop in this sort of volatile "thing" )
 
ER2 u6? no? I use open e-cry free charts off of their feed...I do not see where I can adjust the front month to be continious..i gotta call them...

Quote from mtwokay:
