Hello all,

Haunting FF forever however now I would like to post a trading strategy, that works great for myself, but would like POSITIVE AND CONSTRUCTIVE opinions from other traders on the form. Rudeness and or aggressive behavior will be blocked.

We use a 4SMA, Shift +1, macd 3,10,16, and the 4SMA indicator. I prefer the 5 minute chart over the 1 minute.
I plot horizontal green line for entry, S/L, and red line as a profit target.

I do not enter after a candle such as this

second picture is of the 30 min chart - trying to decide if works better on the 30 min vs 5 min so I do not have to micro manage trade - thoughts?

Honestly, I don’t really have an opinion. I thought you were using four Simple Moving Averages. Since I’m a fan of SMAs, that’s what caught my interest.

I never trade breakouts and I never draw trend lines, so I’m really not the right person to give advice on that kind of strategy...

But if you’re getting good results, that’s perfect. Besides, if it works well, you shouldn't care what anyone else thinks.

I wish you a lot of success. Bye.
Dax only.

okay that makes sense, i can that it is misleading. Thank you very much
I will change the name of the forum.
I am interested in what may be missing in order to make the plan complete, I may not get that but I am striving.
have a great evening

My personal opinion:
There is too much risk of visual curve-fitting. “4 SMAs + MACD on M5” without strict rules for context, entry, stop, exit, and a range-bound market filter usually turns into one of those setups where “everything looks obvious in hindsight, but in live trading doubts start creeping in.”
M5 is a noisy environment. A fast MACD 3,10,16 can give earlier signals, but it will also produce plenty of whipsaws; even general MACD references often note that faster settings increase the number of false entries and the risk of over-optimization.
There are no signs of statistical validation in what is available from the search results: I can see a description of the idea, but I do not see confirmation in the form of a trade series, sample size, expectancy, maximum drawdown, or a breakdown by sessions and instruments.
These violent delights have violent ends.

Everyone
I have found that the profit projection works best when I target the previous turn of the SMA

Thank you for your comment,
And I don't care what other think, however if a perspective can improve - that is good

Be well

Thank you for your thoughts. Just to be clear i had noted simple entry and exit rules, I don't disagree about use of MACD, I now seldom use the macd for reference. I adhere to the time of day, based on the market, which as well was noted. This is trading, our job is to keep it simple, control our emotions and make money. I don't care about others thoughts, however if a perspective that can bring an positive outcome that is all that matters.

Be well.
