I'm going to start this journal as a sort of offspring to "Something Very Simplistic" (SVS). The general goals are the same - something simple, unsubjective, and profitable.
I think this qualifies as simple as far as executing the plan, but it may not be simple in terms of getting the information needed. This will require constant tick based charts - there are a few package out there that support that - but QCharts is not one of them.
The method is bascially the same as "SVS" - entry timing based on one chart, direction of entry decided by stochastics in another.
The first chart is 272 tick (272T) with a 17,1,17 stochastics on it.
The second chart is 2,176 tick (2176T) that is used for timing enties.
Enter at the open of each 2176T bar, in the direction of the 272T stochastic, %D>%K short, %K>%D, long, just like "SVS".
Exit limit +1, stop limit -1.25, just like "SVS" - EXCEPT - NO REVERSAL. Do not reverse on the stop, just take the -1.25.
For ES, there will normally be around 40 or so 2176T bars per day. During the busy times of the day, a new bar is created about every 6 minutes or so - during lunch, they come out about every 13 minutes. Of course, that is all dependent on trade volume.
I'm paper tading it today - didn't trade the first 9 2176T bars. Since, there have been 24 trades, 20 winners and 4 losers for +15 points ES.
I'll work on getting the results posted over the weekend and in a format similar to "SVS".
