Hi Isto and all other cheologists here


First I would like to commend you on a great thread, Me I just finished reading Bill Williams Trading Dimensions... And it was a very interesting and enjoyable read. I think this is just what I've been looking for since I myself am a trendtrader but one of my concerns is most of the systems I design are based on some constant variables which work currently and during backtests but I fear may no longer work in the near future (because the market constantly changes). Since then I've been looking for ways to create a constantly profitable trading system which relies on no constant variables, I want the market to be the one to dictate how the system should work and react... After reading Trading Dimensions I think he comes close to achieving this... since almost all constant variables have been removed in his profitunity system(except the "periods" from his indicators which is a time constant, sometime in the near future I hope to find a way to make the Market dictate what values to use for these as well)

Sorry for my excessive rambling... Anyways since you guys have been trading this for quite some time now I would just like to ask, when do you use the "Gator Oscillator" Indicator? Since it is not mentioned in Trading Dimensions but is included in MT4 indicators... Has this Indicator been mentioned in hes other books? I know what it calculates, but what are the rules for exits and entry signals based on the Gator?

Thanks and Good luck to all you cheologist!

Regards,
Mikhail

Isto... i use only 2 kind of signals... 3AO and fractal.

3AO i get when trend is changing... and fractal i take when alligator is closed.

Thats all... And my opinion is that fractal give more false positions than 3AO....

Till this moment i had only 2 wrong 3AO signals.This situation turned to closed alligator..... in this case we should act on broken fractals.
Please publish some charts to clear the way you are using the signals.
I hope it will be interested for the other readers...

Hi Again,

Just a simple indicator I made that colors the bars Green, Red, or Gray Depending on what trading Zone we are in based on the AO and AC. It was mentioned in trading dimensions to help determine add on and exits, and it looks nice on the charts

Enjoy!

Hi,

I wanted to ask you if in the second Edition of Trading Chaos the entry is still 1 pip above/below the fractal? Because I'm getting so many reversal just 1 or 2 pips after a fractal is triggered.

Cheers,
Daniel

AUDNZD obviously has to rest for a while.

Many orders in opposite directions ended (look here).

Better to prepare for the week-end

Hi,

I've some questions about the rules for the new Profitunity system.

Is the rule to exit after 2 closes above/below the 5 MA replacing the previous close above/below the teeth of the alligator or above/below the green line in a volatile market?

About the DBar, what are the exit rules after we entered? Do we have to take all the signals from other dimensions when we enter on a DBar?

Thank you very much in advance for your help!

Cheers,
Daniel

No, all these rules are to help you understand the market. They are just sticks helping your move, but the move is yours.

DBar is step against the trend. So first few bars until trend is not yet reversed you have to watch carefully waht happens.

There are two opportunities - either:

  1. trend will reverse and the rules are well known
  2. reverse will fail either into side move or continuation of previous trend and then you've to get out fast

Great thread. I used the Bill Williams methods for about a year with good success. It's all about the add-on trades. I ditched the oscillators and now only use the fractals as entries, add-ons, and support/resistence. I just couldn't keep up with all of the oscillator signals. I occasionally use the alligator to add on, gauge runaway markets, and when to start looking to get out when price is in the mouth.

Even though I'm doing completely different stuff now, the lessons learned were huge. It's all about piling it on when you catch the trend. Up until I saw this thread I haven't seen too many people do well with the system. Mainly because they were afraid to add on. You'll get eaten alive trying to catch breakouts out of the alligator in the forex market without taking the add on signals to make up the difference.

I have not seen the 5 sma in any of BW's Books I think its an add on from one of the forums. The first I saw of it was on the Yahoo group.

Somone correct me if I am wrong here.
Could it be Man is trying to be something without knowing they're complete?
