Scalp the trend

Quoting psperos
I have noticed there are some more trades to made with this when price retraces to the MA against the general trend. this sets up to buy on a pull back or sell on a bounce against the line.

also noticed there are retrace pips to be made when price is too far away from the MA. This is risky though if the market is running hard.

don't want to encourage over trading , but thought id point these out !

Great system and setup!
This is the way to be successful. Analyze the strategy/system and make your conclusion!
Thank you for your contribution!

Hey everyone,

Thanks for the posts here. Dynel, thanks for starting the thread and taking the best of different systems and making something very simple and workable. I've spent some time looking back over some charts and I like what I see. I think I feel a little extra spring in my step for the holidays because of finding this methodology.

I am also attaching my chart from today for review here. Let me know if I'm missing something. I have marked the signals with vertical lines, green for longs and red for shorts. One thing that I found from looking back is that there are many better entries right after the signal. I am using pullbacks for entry. On a big entry candle I would enter on retrace to about 50% of entry candle. In the case where the trigger candle is somewhat near the LWMA I am entering on retest of LWMA. These parameters for entry enable me to have more manageable stops. The downside is that there are some entries that I will miss, but it seems they are few.

The chart is marked as follows:

 

  1. Trigger candle has vertical line.
  2. Actual entry is marked with arrow.
  3. My ten pip first targets were marked with little white lines.
  4. I also marked where the semafor was for one trade.

Thanks again for everything. As I am typing this my last trade of the day is just about 10 pips away from my final target.

PJ

You took counter trades. If you have experience with it ok otherwise trade only with the trend and here the trend was down!

all short signals yesterday gave you +10pips.

I will update the template to prevent user take counter trades.

My first post here and I must say this is nice, clean and simple system.
My first two trades today and both of them were winners.
It's a ranging day so both buy and sell trades will do just fine
today in my humble opinion.
Thanks for Your effort in bringing this magnificent system to all of us. All credits go to You Dynel.
Cheers

I took the third one, of course with success again.
30 pips for today - not bad at all.

Hi,

Can you comment the attach entry? I think all conditions were in place, was there anything wrong?

Thank you

Someone asked me to share it, so here it is.

I will not answer any questions that have already been answered!
I think the rules are very simple!!!

2) LWMA 25
3) CCI 15
4) SnakeForce
5) Cycle Identifer (repaints)

I may sound stupid, but how do you "follow the trend" when using this strategy? How do you filter the bad trades? Thanks.
