Hi
I want to share my Futures trading system with you,Ive had so much help from this BB I thought it about time I shared some thing of mine.I trade EOD on Forex and have posted the results under the ‘trading journal’
I have been day trading US Futures for 5 years and thought Id migrate over to the big boys
This system works very well on Futures mainly Russell 2000 I personally use it on 1min time frame. Please make note though this is not a system that only takes 2 trades a day ,this is a scalping system designed to rack up the points. When I trade it with ER2 I stop for the day at +$500 per contract traded.
On Forex it could be 20 –30 pips its up to you…but the aim is to consistently make money not sit in front of a PC all day.
I’m not sure how well it will lend itself to Forex but I think for a start it has to be used on a 5min time frame.
It can give as many as 30 signals a day for the whole session, the main advantage of this is……….. if you work shifts or odd hours you know you can still make some profit as signals will still be triggering. No need to upset the wife and let the tea go cold any more !
The system is simple to trade although on er2 I trade with a 1 tick spread with 3 pips on Forex I will have to adjust. I’m hoping by trading it I can make any changes needed along the way.
I will include my template at the end of this and the Keltner indictor but it essentially uses 2 indicators and I use it on £$
The system is simple on the eye and uses 1 time frame
Keltner bands
Length 10
Times ATR 1
Stochastic
15.3.2Use signal line only ..Colour main line to ‘none’
15.3.3Set line at 80 and 20
Long signal
Price closes below the bottom K line Stochastic below 20
Go long on the next up bar as long as stochastic still below 20
Exit
Move stop to break even if price touches middle K line (white)
Take profit if price touches top band line, again it flexible and up to you
Stops
Up to you… if going long it can be the low of the entry candle
Or any number of pips you prefer.
Visa versa for shorts.
Here is a screen shot of today up to time of posting on £$ 5min
In my Futures trading platform it is fully coded and traded through Interactive Brokers TWS via Ninja Trader .It could be traded through an EA but I cant code so for me its manual atm.
I don’t mind changing or adapting the system .To me if you don’t adapt or change with the markets you Die.
