Read the whole thread (3x). Interesting to see how it works.
Been using it in sim periodically.

Observation, do you see reversals probable as the market chops around the high or low of Stochastics?

Right at the open this morning, the market had chopped around and then fell off. CCI showed this as an opportunity.
Lame observation or part of strategy?
Thanks ROB

You should understand that the system which I have described here in this thread has been very good for me financially and continues to be on option trading, etc. But the system which I have developed that includes my original system, is better for day trading futures. So, there is more to it, but more often than not, it is simplified as seen in my more recent threads and the charts below.
More important is the fact that you can develop a system from mine that can be all yours and perfect it to suit you.
Good Trading.
The charts are on ES. A 12 min chart and a 6 tick (r) (range) chart.

Thanks for sharing your methodology.

What is your average risk/reward per trade?

Thanks

This is a 6 tick (R) range chart.
As I have noted, my normal risk on TF or RLM is 10 ticks, sometimes less, depending on the setup entry.
I enter with a bracket entry, where my target and stop can easily be adjusted as I choose. Although I may have a target in mind, I take what the market allows by moving the target and the stop to protect the gains. Sometimes the target is hit very quickly and allows another entry very quickly. By using this method on GC-gold, once the target was hit within 1 second and the price pulled back to same entry for a second winner. There is a lot of flexibility within my system, but what I am sharing is what has worked best for me.
Hope this helps.

I read where you dont take countertrend trades.
Do you wait for EMA's to crossover before taking next set up or do you anticipate based on another indicator?
Thanks in advance.

The way I trade is without MA crossovers. I use the 5034, 5034Z and 5014 CCI trade setups. I track 18-Forex issues with a short-term and long term chart for each. The former uses about 3/4 of each monitor (I use 6-each) with the latter occupying the remaining screen space. A signal is not valid unless the price bar closes above the 34-EMA for a Long and vice-versa (on the short-term chart).

There are other requirements to each trade but this is solely in response to the question regarding MAs. Besides the 34-EMA, I use the 14-EMA and the 204-EMA.

Today I had 13-trades and went on a 6-mile hike with friends from 8:30-AM until 12:15, EST.

I know that I'll have good trades because my trades are all in the direction of the 204-EMA. Some take longer to "comply" than others.

15-issues are on one monitor and I scroll through them (ad nauseum). The other 5 are on the remaining 5-monitors. My office isn't big enough to house 18-monitors especially if all were 24" as are the 6 I use.

As potential setups manifest themselves, I put an arrow under the 14-CCI to draw my attention the next time I'm scrolling through the 18. It frequently gets boring and I digress to scientific websites that interest me. I miss trades but not so many that it isn't worth my time.

I suppose I could use Ninja Trader but can't think of a good reason to give up Sierra Chart.

Hope this helps.

just be informed that most trading advices are ditched out........for beginning traders to....prevent them from making rashy irrational decision to get in--when you ought to sit out;

and to liquidate a position when most experienced traders are laughing to the bank....

yes, this beginners irrationality thing happened to every traders, disregarding nationality and geographical difference.

even in a cave like mine, is not immuned to irrational trading at times.... LOL

i responded to your post because i just want you to know that there are several on board here including myself who just love to jump on counter trend trading with more positive results....

SO JUST LEARN EVERY POSITION AND ANGEL YOUR BRAIN WOULD ACCOMMODATE FOR NOW, k?

best learning, assimilating and accommodating to you.... [email protected]

I use range bars. They give my earlier signals than when I used 500 and 3000-tick charts.
