Very simple MACD/Keltner system. Keltner bands are 20/0.5.
Entry: MACD crossover (OR) MACD higher than MACD average (AND) MACD slope rising for longs (AND) price above Keltner upper band (20/0.5) [discretionary: (AND) price higher than 8 MA]
(Reverse for short)
Exit: Keltner crossing midline, [Discretionary: MACD crossover average (OR) price cross under 8 MA]
I am back testing the system and it works best on 1000 tick charts. However, it performs on 150 tick charts, just takes too many losing trades. Key to the system is "let the winners run." You can incur lots of small losses before a winning trade on smaller time frames.
You can see the journal for more background on the system development at https://nexusfi.com/elite-trading-journals/28631-discretionary-trading-system-vs-mechanical-trading-system.html.
The system is still being tested, so users should be aware of this. If anyone else has success with the system, please let me know.
