I should probably be posting in the journals forum. Guess I'll move over there. url

BB & Candles - 15 min

Watching the action on the different time frames. A better entry was several candles ago. But it's a demo. Helps to keep my attention if I actual enter so I can study how the markets move with this strategy overlay. This is the 30 minute. I'd ...

BB & Candles - 15 min

Cleaned up the chart even more. Two charts... the day chart with a moving average cross. 5 simple and 5 linear weighted. (I know someone who trades this cross on the day candles and does very well.) But I am using it to determine trend direction. On ...

BB & Candles - 15 min

Just looking at the bands and the candles here... Should be good for 5 pips short... Time of day, no data or news.. Didn't stay in the whole time. Sometimes the price will bounce off the 20. Caught a little something.. it had a lot more to go... ...

Even if there were a signal on cci I probably wouldn't take it, bands are narrowing and price is hovering on the 20. Considering the candles in relation to bb bands is going to make the difference for this strategy, I think. I hope.

Okay this seems to be a significant factor... Candles and the bollinger bands. Another good trade (long) considering adx and the bb bands. not the cci cross but is oversold.

How to get this thing to perform.... Yikes. I like it a lot. Easy for me to see. But how to tune it? Not even sure which time frame. Looking at 4 hour. With 60 stop and 60 tp. On the 5 min there were three good trades. But I got in late for the ...

Looking for quick 5 pips.. They maybe be more easily found on the 15 minute chart. It looks like the trade can be taken long when cci goes above 100 and the yellow adx line is tending above 20. And vice versa short cco goes below 100 and yellow adx ...

This is looking very very good. The set up very predictable. This will catch a breakout on the 5 min for 5 pips with a 10 pip stop only getting hit rarely. Two or three signals per day. I don't need a lot of pips to make a good profit. I just need ...

There's the USDCAD... data (steroids) It's Friday. Nothing to really drive the markets. So that's probably it for today. I'll check every now and then... Like when NYSE opens in 40 mins. And just before London closes... So one loss... lack of ...

Okay here's a legitimate signal. Drifting lower with an hour to go before NY open. Okay it was good. I really didn't want to still be in the position when NY opened. But it was okay. So we're at break even for the day. One more trade and it will be ...

The psychology is the deciding factor. Every time. Can't stress enough how significant the psychology is. The strategy is there but the discipline also has to be there. The mind is a tricky fellow. Not always the best of friends. I got up late. ...

There are many different ways someone could use this. The yellow line is for measuring the "strength" of the move, not the direction. So both the green line and the yellow line are helpful for buy possibilities. In a trend the yellow line will go up ...

It works best on news. but not right at the time of release. Too much volatility. The prices go wild with stops and limit orders being taken out left and right. The next candle (or two) will show the trend if there is a new trend in place and there ...

Okay, that's it for the day.. 12 pips 3 trades..

Trading strategy #5053 :>)

Could have entered sooner... but... it was testing resistance... managed to catch the tail end for a few pips, but there is a data release in 5 minutes so didn't want to be sitting there when the data came out. Yup. It's a good thing I closed before ...
