Trading Styles for ES

Quote from ElectricSavant:

Nice system....how many double bottoms/tops do you find per day when the macd and the stoch get higher lows or vice versa..at the same time the bottoms or tops are formed on the 1 min?

Do you ever get false setup with your macd/stoch filters?

OH BETTER CLEAR THIS THRU NITRO FIRST :eek:
 
Vision Trader....
My husband is very successful at the system you describe. He takes a look at the overnight trading direction on ES and picks a postion to be held until lunchtime. He is right far more often than he is wrong.
Another one is to take the direction of the first 3 trades on a 13 minute chart. If they are lower than the open go short, higher than the open go long. The exit is discretionary. This gets you in a little later than Bob's system, but at least you have comfirmation of the trend.:)

I have never tracked the actual number of DT's and DB's. I can tell you that my average trades per day using the filter is 6 trades. Guessing there is an average of 8-9 set ups total per day.

Do you ever get false setup with your macd/stoch filters?

Yes. The main issue is usually my timing at the top of the stoch. My success rate is posted in the journal.

Does he buy/sell at the open in the same direction of the overnight? or does he wait to get a dip/rise for a better entry?...... since you are sharing so much.

I assume the overnight is defined as 15:45cst-8:30cst the following calender day.

What time is lunch time in cst, est or pst for him? 12:00est?

Yes it is in the same direction as the overnight trade most of the time. Lunchtime is around 11:30est to look for an exit, but sometimes he holds them the entire day if the trend is intact on the 13 minute chart. He just rides out the dip if there is one in the morning. He is pretty fearless that way.
