First of all, I'm not a programmer. I paid someone to code a strategy for me. It's a intraday strategy that I have been trading manually for almost a year. But the entries do require discretion. I haven't been able to translate my ability to discern which trades to take and which not to take into words. I don't use indicators on my charts and I have no idea which would be helpful. I trade price action off of feel. As you can probably guess, I wasn't doing very well. Trading this system has completely reversed my equity curve. It gives me defined entries and exits. No more guessing.
I have found that the best trades are usually rapid moves (exhaustion maybe?) into support or resistance areas which I then fade. Honestly, these are very scary trades to take as it often feels like I'm stepping in front of a freight train, but I guess that's why they work. It's also clear to me that I'm not the only one trading this setup. The best trades last less than 1 minute as I'm only going for 10 ticks. Most that work out last less than 5 minutes.
The setup occurs in many different markets. It seems works best on non trending days/weeks. On trend days, although there is usually a pause at the support or resistance level, there's usually not much of a retracement. When this happens it's usually a sign to just go with the flow.
So I'm hoping that someone can give me suggestions on determining what filters I should try. Otherwise this is a breakeven strategy.
Please ask any questions necessary to help, you help me. :)
