Kirk I use 8, 34, 89, and 233 EMAs. Fib numbers.

The 89 and 233 are there to give me a rough estimation of trend on longer time frames. <solfest hears big mike growling, well then just look at multiple time frames stupid>

I do look at the daily and 60 min at the start of the day and keep the 15 min open throughout the day. That said I prefer to concentrate on one chart.

The slope indicator on the 8 EMA is a sierra built indicator.

As far as levels and slope, those are proprietary.

Hi Jeff.

Here are the templates. I use the CL Range template on the 4 range chart, and the "Cobra" template on a 6range chart ( all squished ). On the 6 range chart you can use any DMA paint or hull indicator (something smooth to give you a general trend direction) P.S I left out the black diamond alert...

Hope this helps

Regards

Mick

if you use trailing stop then you don't know where the exit is, let market tell you instead.

In one of his books, Joe Ross says something to the effect of: 'If you don't know where the exit is, you have no business placing a trade.'

Wise words from a very experienced trader

I see it differently, if you use trailing stop you ALWAYS know where it is.

Trailing doesn't have to be done tick per tick. You can trail it below the last swing pivot. Or above/below the last low/high. lots of choices.
