I've been looking at trading systems for a couple years and never found one that was just right for me, so i've taken bits and pieces and put together a system that allowed me to turn $200 into $800 in one week(live on CMS), i'll admit that overall i'm underfunded for this but the W/L ratio is so high that i figured i'd give it a try and haven't loss yet so I figured i'd share with everyone.
i used a fast stochastic set at 8,3,3 exponential and only use the %K and ignore the %D i set it to the same color as the background
i also use ma30(red) on the opening price, and a ma20(green) on the opening price, both of these are also exponential.
i set up 3 trading windows with the above settings and 1,15,&30min timframes, then i look at the 15&30 min check the MA if green is on top you look for a long entry, if red is on top you look for a short entry.
The entry signel is determined in several steps
1)the 30 min stoch%K is heading in direction you want your trade to go and still over/under 50 depending on the direction of your trade, on a short trade you want it over 50 and on a long trade you want it under 50,
2) check the 15min stoch and when the %K crosses 20 or 80 you're ready to enter the trade. if you're looking to go long you would enter below 20 and if you are looking to go short you would enter above 80,
3) after the 15min crosses the entry point you could safely enter the trade, however, if you want a precise entry look at the 1 min stoch%K and enter long when it hits 0 and short when it hits 100(this may cause you to miss a entry in a fast moving market but it makes the trade go much faster.
ok, on to my insane MM strategy, with this stratedy i'm using a 15-20pip limit and a 50 pip stoploss and i've been using mini lots i started with $200 and 2lot trades then when i reached $300 i moved up to 3 lots and so in till i reached $800 and 8 lots and that's where i'm at now and i'll continue to increase 1 mini lot at a time until i have reach my goal of $20,000 per trade 135 full lots, in about a year if all goes well. Doing this 1- 3x a day could make someone a lot of money very fast. The downside to this is a single loss could wipe out almost half of your account, but you could use any size account that you would be comfortable with.
I've only done this with the euro because of the 2 pip spread but i'm sure it would work with all the majors as long as you get decent spreads.
The biggest problem i have is waiting for the entry and not getting sidetracked and missing the entry, or being impatient and taking the trade too soon. here is a copy of all the trades so far.
