I'm in the process of developing a system I call it Bones as in (bare bones)

Indicators

MACD Traditional (setting as per indicator)
Stochastic (20, 5,5)
CCI (20)
QQE (20)
and Slope Direction (your choice but mine is 20,2,0)

Entries

If 3 of the 4 indicator have shown there signals and are in sync with the slope direction then enter a position.

MACD long signal = ma crossed below the 0 line and 1 histo above the 0
Stoch long signal = crossed below the 20
CCI long signal = line crossed the 0 line
QQE long signal = Rsi crossed above the atr ?

Vice versa for short

Slope direction blue= long red = short

MM is as per attached excel sheet

I have just open a live micro account with Lite FX to see how thing go.

Have a look and let my know what you think

Cheers

Thanks for sharing!

You are working on daily TF?

Do you have any preferred pairs for your system?

Maybe you got some trading examples and results for us?
Thanks for sharing. I see that this system is kind off a good trend follower for the daily chart.

Please, if you can share your template.
Thanks
also do you have a suggestion. Seems good for the entry.. but how do we know when to exit or how long to stay in the trade?
Anyways i created the template looking at the picture posted on the 1st post.

Thanks for the positive comments

template attached thanks dznmrd i have attached mine as well

Exits

I have several

 

  1. Reversal of signal so stay with the trend make as much as possible but stay with in the mm systems lot size and max number of positions (need to monitor)
  2. After a few wins and losses you will notice on the mm excel sheet a Mathematical Exectation= (1+average win/average loss)*(system accuracy) -1 this is how much capital you could expect to win on average per trade i have used it and just muiltipled the SL by that figure to get a possible exit point use this as a set and forget
  3. I have also used the kelly percentage as a target figure which has worked well on a smaller balance. you will need to work this out as a percentage of your balance then place as a TP (need to monitor) as you could get a reversal before target is hit.

The great thing is there are no prefered pairs just keep and eye on the indicators for there signals.

In the case of having to many signal then the mm system allows used the average Win/Loss as a filter ie the higher one wins.

If you have a string of losses and the max number of position you could has been used stop trading for the rest of the month. Take a break and stop looking for trades that are not there.

Slope up .... check.
Signal 1..... check
Signal 2 .... check
Signal 3....waiting on it...to confirm a buy.
yes that looks good, because this is a manual system you get to check other time frames, for this particular set up on that pair and in with the current volatility. I often check the weekly then make a judgement call based on what the indicators look like ie weather they are looking like they are on the turn or 1 or two have have already crossed

Yes or maybe we wait on all 4 indicators to cross or turn up on the daily to be more sure
