Make Trading simple!

I did a lot of these on my 233 tick chart. This one is two different Macd's and my Sto-RSI

Another 233 chart

and another 233

It was triple witching on Friday. You just never know what you are going to get on those days. Friday was much calmer than I thought it would be. since Powell is talking rate cuts next year. The market has been pricing in those cuts for a while. So It is not my favorite to trade when the market is close to all time highs and the Vix is really really low. So there is no fear in the market. Everyone is playing the same side and darn it I want volatility which is getting harder to come by these day. But I just trade my 1500/610/233 charts.

I have templates that use the CCI, Macd, RSI. I like all these indicators. So I switch around once in a while. Probably not the best thing to do. But I like to experiment with different things.

Hope it makes sense. Just putting out there what I like to do and how I trade. Not selling anything and it is not the only way to trade. But it does work.

An way have a good weekend. Tomorrow is a busy day for me. All the best in your trading next week!!

233 tick with two RSI indicators and the Sto-Rsi

This is the chart I trade most of the time. CCI, Sto-Rsi, Macd

This what those (CCI, Sto-Rsi, and Macd) look like on my 610 tick chart. So you have some idea of the whole picture.

How do you fine-tune parameters of your indicators?

Thank you Mr K, appreciate it!

Keeping it simple is one of the best things you can do for your trading plan. Overcomplicating things does not guarantee you some sophisticated profits. Good traders always say that if something works, you've gotta go with it. You need to exploit it until it stops working out for you, then you can start looking for other stuff.

Just playing around this afternoon. This is my 233 tick chart. But this time I have the Stochastic with setting of 3/9/3 and my lines at 50. then my Sto-RSI and a regular RSI set at 20/25. yes the market was super slow today and probably will be this way all week. But made 19 ticks goofing off. But helped the volume picked up later in the day. still only 600k traded the whole day. Down about 65% compared to the average. But again if the Stochastic is crossing the 50 line make sure the Sto-RSI is crossing also. The closer they cross together the better the momentum. Again to do not trade against the longer RSI. Above 50 long below 50 short. And I filter it through my longer time frames. But you could trade this by it's self. Just have to be quick.

Same time period but on the 610 tick chart. But have Macd on the bottom then the sto-RSI and then the Stochastics. Macd 4/18/7 but I like the smoothed average to be around 20-25. Just did not change it back when I saved the chart. Sto-RSI is at 20 and the stochastic are at 3/9/3. Same rules apply. This is a very tradable chart on it's own if you do not like the Multiple time frames. Just do not trade against the Macd in this case. If you get a sell/buy on the Macd then it reverses quickly just get out fast and go to the next trade.

Hope everyone had a great Christmas!!

First day of trading in the new year. Was an alright day. Everyone was just waiting on the FOMC minutes most of the morning. But made 119 ticks on 23 trades. 4 Losers and 19 winners. It was nice to be past the Holiday season and get back to it.

Day's that the trend is always in one direction are always hard for me. So today I made 74 ticks. 33 trades, 31 long and 2 short. 27 winners and 6 losers.
This is my 610 chart at the end of the day.

My long term anchor chart. this one is 1200 ticks. MY long term is always between 1200-1500 ticks on the ES. Just trading the short term charts with the market structure on the long term chart. My entries are on the 610 or 233 charts. but have to agree with the anchor chart. That give the most consistent trades. Happy trading everyone!

Thank you pastor for sharing your strategies here. I too trade Futures and I too use Ninjatrader 8. I will be trading your system but yet to finish reading all 15 pages. I am still in page # 2 but I get the idea. Would you be kind enough to answer some of my questions:

1) Do you use stop loss and targets? or do you trade without stops?
2) Do you use a standard stops when entering? If so how many ticks stop loss do you use for ES?
3) Do you enter on a limit order or market order or market if touched order? Since you are looking at CCI to cross 0 i am assuming you don't use market if touched order.
4) Do you use ATM in NT? Do you have some sort of trailing stops to catch the trend? OR Do you always take 4-6 ticks?
5) Can I use Woodies CCI indicator in addition to CCI? or do you think it is an over kill?
6) You had mentioned that the 610 tick chart for ES is your standard anchor chart. If I had to just use one chart, would you say that would be 610 tick chart for ES? or would it be 233 tick chart for ES? I will be posting my trade results from next week.
7) Can I just use 1 indicator which is CCI which you say is perhaps the most important indicator? Can I remove MACD and Stochastics RSI since too many indiators and i don't have the time to look at all the indicators especially when trading ES using both 233 tick and 610 tick charts. I want to just enter when CCI cross above or below the zero line.


I completely believe in your system.

Thank you Pastor

Best,

Hello Pastor:

Greetings to you and I hope every one is enjoying the long weekend in the U.S. I would think that to trade this way using 233 tick chart and 610 tick chart with CCI and other indicators requires intense concentration. So should I focus and keep my eyes on the 233 Tick chart Heiken Ashi or its CCI? Or Should I focus on looking at the 610 Tick Chart Heken Ashi or its associated CCI?

Based on Friday's charts, it appears to me that I am better of just first looking at the 233 tick charts on Heiken Ashi and CCI indicator first. I have your 610 tick heiken ashi anchor chart also but that 610 tick i am going to keep it as secondary. Upon reviewing both 233 ticks and 610 ticks i am able to identify so many trades on a 233ticks which is not clearly visible on the 610tick charts.

Hello Agassi: I play with many different charts. But the ones you see here are my main ones. The ones I like best. My Favorite is the CCI with the stoch-RSI. So I use 3 charts which is not hard for me. I do not set hard stops. If I see a trade taking to long or losing momentum then I get out. I enter on Market orders. Most of my profits are 4-8 ticks. I do not get very many trades that are bigger. In fact most are 4 or 5 ticks. I trade the 233 and 610 with in the market structure of the 1500 tick chart. If that chart is trending up the I am only buying dips. I like the Stoch-RSI with the CCI. If they disagree then I do not take the trade. It would most likely be a losers.

DO NOt trade indicators blindly. Meaning the signals have to be within the market structure. Support and Resistance, Ranging markets then Trending markets. things like that. That just takes a little time to learn. My entries are on mainly on the 610 or 233 chart. Probably 233 tick chart 60% of the time. I like the woodies CCI also. I have used it before and did just fine with it. I still used Stoch-RSI with it.

If you do not want to use the Macd or RSI that I have on some charts that is no problem. I just learned over the years that the zero line or the 50 line is best for long or short. If markets get to tight in a range STOP TRADING!!!. Flat is a position also. When there is a breakout from a range I look at the 1500 or 610 chart

I tried the Atm. I know people that use it and love it. For me I did not help my trading so I turned it off. I do not trade every day. So when I have been away for a while, I do down load the data and practice a few trades just to keep the chops up. So when learning I would recommend that for learning and practice.

One thing when trading on the 233 chart I do not generally trade against 610 chart. When they agree those are the best trades.

Hope that helps. But the system here is simple and it does work.

Let me know how it is going!!

Blessings

Thanks for responding pastor. Do you take entries both 0 line crosses and 50 line crosses of CCI and Stoch-RSI?
