Tomorrow will be July 30th, the 212th day of the year with 154 days to follow, we will also be in the 31st week of 2012
he wanted to know how i would use these numbers for the ma's today -its all in what i see that day in a number -12 and 30 +31+1+5+4+2+2 =75
so 12/ 75 remember its the system -of the floating ma -the numbers have to be in a range with the chart you choose to keep your 7 tick risk at a maximum -and to allow you to enter as many trades in a day as possible in the 7 tick risk zone - so if you try to trade a 10 min chart using those #s with our outlined risk it most likely wont work -
but if your desire for risk is 4 points it may work all the time -
dial in the chart your comfortable in using for speed of your style -then work on your ma's combination thats works with the 7 tick risk ,or lower risk, if thats even better- then back test it on every stock ,and futures chart until your satisfied with your results -you will learn that you have dialed in a chart style that yours and only yours -untill you share it with 30,000 friends :tape:

here is a segament of chart from today -if you ever wonder why a trade goes against you -right after you enter the easy edge system can show you the answer-
1- you short 1384 per system -the trade goes in our favor all of 1 full point -
2-trade goes long @ 1383.75 -you dont know this system and the trade is now 3.5 points against you -
whenn the proper thing to do was exit out of the short and go long after only 1 tick of profit -
i guess what i am trying to show is why a trade goes wrong -please also refer to post 470 and 527

we had to make and adjustment to F16 's trading account -for the past 2 weeks she was letting me know her drag and drop function was not working anymore -
for example - 7 tick hard stop could not be dragged up or down to make it a fast 2 or 3 tick loss -everytime she did the drag and drop it would pop back to the 7 tick spot -so we added a contract to the account -so now we have 2 available but will still use 1 for trading and bracket orders and the 2 nd one will be used for emergency purposes only -
always remain flexible

hi! F16
This morning, i went short at 80.50 and i got out at 77.5 before the news. I would have stayed in but creeker didn't trust the news.
Next I went long at 75 well after the news andgot out at 79.00 when the trend line broke.
There was a break in the trend and I wanted to get out but creeker said to stay in...something about the a&d chart and how it looked.
We are taking a break now till after the news.

f16 sim tested today from start to finish - she had to chart and trade -and find the balance of where her focus had to be at any given time - she tried to take every move she saw and was in the red at first by nearly 7 points -realizing that once she placed a trade her focus went to the money and not the chart -so we had her set her hard stop to redirect her focus to the next setup and ended up on the sim 287.50 or 5.75 points -a great day for her first try at both sides -

good morning espi:
creeker wanted me to explain a 'jumper' since i have a hard time seeing these live.
A jumper is when the ma crosses the trend line BUT doesn't cross the other ma and turns back toward the direction it came from. The blue line is a price level line to show where the ma came back up to where it first crossed over the trend. When this happens, you need to re evaluate and possibly reverse. I hope this makes sense.

someone on a skype chat asked me this question and he/she said it was ok to post over here.
Here is my question: does price have to cross the blue line or does the ma have to cross the blue line to make it a jumper? Usually, price will cross first, then the ma. Sometimes, price will cross, but the ma does not. So again, is it price that has to cross the blue line or the ma to make it a jumper? Thanks.
[11:39:50 AM] : the ma has to cross to make it a jumper...but it doesn't mean it will do it just means you have to watch it, thats why i don't like these and they are confusing to me. creekteach wants to know if i can post your question on mikes without your name and then answer it over there.

[2:24:58 PM] How do you guys draw your lines on the A&D chart? I know you're using fib retracements, but not sure how you get the lines set.
[2:27:41 PM] : go back 10 days-find highest high and lowest low-set your fibs at 0, 100, 50 - keep splitting every signal box until you have 250-300 point total bewteen lines per level- 0 never ends up on zero-kinda funny
Also, the picture below is a trade where i got in at 89.00 system entry. Freakycreaky didn't like it because it gave my entry too easy so he told me to take 2 ticks and get out.

here are a few pics of my best guess auto trading the 30 min es -using 2 points slippage each way of ma break and a 15 point stop for obvious reasons - not bad results for the big money managers .
even at 17.50 per weekly ave of profit for 52 weeks -that 910 es points or 45,500 dollars per contract -
remember your results may be different -as my results are from past experiance
but its easily back tested

okay, here's a perfect pic of a floating trend line move to the new same low.
here's the before and after picture....and it also turned into a downward jumper, notice the blue jumper line to where it came back to the original cross over entry.

I have approximate answers, possible beliefs and different degrees of certainty of different things. But I'm not absolutely sure of anything and there are many things i don't know anything about.
thanks for the question- it does not get shifted into place until the chart shows we must prepare to shift into the break even zone - i never like to tempt the market to test my levels -the funny part not that it is so funny -is this - i had completely forgot i had taken that last short till i went and pulled up the ladder on that account -was very busy today -may take a day or 2 off - hope this helps with your question

here is and early screening of the es -remember as stated in earlier post -this setup works in all markets -now here is aa tip for the programers to help dial in there computer model to match ours - my trendlines -if you count the trendlines that go north and the trendlines that go south you can find which way the market is weighted and trade accordingly -there is also a very simple way to program this so your system will let you know when its balanced or ready for a reversal -but you will figure it out over time -
We have had over 120 people from this site thank us for sharing this system with then -so for those who have found improvement in there trading -do what we do every so often -
when we are grocery shopping we randomly pay for someones groceries -we always catch someone that is just about complete and tell the check out person we are paying the bill -the reaction is worth the little bit it cost -let alone the smiles in the end

i was have a conversation the other week -and explaining that i had never seen a 4 x cross - and the person said when you do you better go all in -lol
time will tell if it has any more bearing that a 3x cross -
but if you had it charted -you still could have tried a short -or wait up all night for the signals to meet and enter the trade

meancreekie had me chart out the last 4 days on a 5 minute chart to show me how long a trade can last because I am getting bored and impatient with them. I plotted the times and how much profit each took off the 5 minute chart. Please note that the orange markers on chart 3 were the only trades taken. Others were there for my understanding. creeker says if Im getting fidgety in this week then maybe some others are too. Still wondering if I could have stayed in some of these trades for an hour and made only a few ticks! pppfffft! I sometimes think he keeps me around just for the dictating and typing.

made some minor adjustments for today - es 5 min chart - 12/42 ma cross- still range bound as the nearly equal upper and lower trendline count confirms -would like to see some nice up and down movement today instead of the hours of sideways chop

i guess i should clarify this better - if we get another choppy day i am watching the 12/42 to try and stay out of the chop while playing the 6/21 -its just to see if f16 can try and ride the trades longer by having a slightly longer timeline

my two pics are both a 5 minute chart with different ma's. the first pic is ma's 12/42 and teh second is ma's 6/21. creekgeek is having me chart the highs and lows to see when the the boxes on both charts line up to give me a stronger indication of a long or short entry. the blue boxes is when it lines up. it can also tell me how long to stay in the trade by matching up the blue boxes and ignoring the yellow ones along the way. I hope this makes sense to someone bc im a little confused.
we will let you know how it turns out today.

chart #2 is a technical downtrend. we were looking for the short which is marked on chart #1. Chart 1 has the MA of 6/21 and Chart @ has MA of 12/42. Because we were in a tech downtrend on chart 2 we were focused on looking for a short at open. now we are waiting to see if we get a double reversal signnal on both charts.

the chart has given us a signal exit bc the 12/42 ma's have crossed. but since they crossed on an uptrend, we will continue to hold the position. but at this time we should have a system exit and gone short at 13.97 but i don't feel the short is valid bc the cross occurred above jumper.
ps. i taught creeker how to embed today!
