Cspip -

Thanks for the kind words. I'll try to address your questions.

Regarding the long term Stos not justifying the long (on that chart), for me they do not. Look at the high TF chart. Those Stos are what I would look for. Green sto (20) above the Red sto (50) with some spread in between them, as well as each sto having a nice spread between its %k (dotted) and %d (solid)....
Thanks for that Ninja.

Also, why is Stochs set at 20,10,20 and 50,10,20 etc ?
What is special about these?

And when the 5 Stoch has (for say going long) pulled back do we enter when its crossed it %k line, or is it that its gone back up past a certain level, 20, 40 etc ?

Thanks for posting your chart. Those 2 that you have your lines highliting certainly turned out well. The long term Stos lined up nicely on that last short you highlited. Btw, a small profit is much better than a couple of alternatives I can think of. :-)

Continuing with the multiTF setup theme discussed in an earlier post, my last trade setup this morning was just that. My middle TF setup chart had the long term Stos falling with spread, and decent %k vs %d spreads as well. My next lower TF (195tick) saw my 5/3 sto reaching O/B. I missed getting short here, but was fortunate to have price rally to retest. I actually took my entry off of a small tick chart I always have in front of me (approximates a 1min). Ive highlited my entry there (middle chart).
I seem to always gravitate back to this. You can end up getting in too early doing this, but normally the entry is really "tight" so an occassional hit is acceptable. This just works better for me.

The trade continued on quite nicely beyond my targets as things turned out. No problem here though. :-)

I hope there is something of value here for you.

Good trading

If a trade goes wrong do you let it hit your initial stop loss or
do you terminate the trade earlier?

If you terminate your trade before it hits the initial stop,
what are the criteria for it?

Thanks

Hopefully, Ive placed my stop where I know the trade has gone wrong, so until it hits it, any movement against me is within my wiggle room. I normally will give price once to run against me, but not twice. Once the trade is moving in my favor, I move to BE. I can always reenter if stop is hit. My targets tend to fall within a range of 10-20+ pips, so if I get to 5/6 pips in my favor, Im moving my stop. There are plenty of setups available, and the good ones dont generally cause the problems. I hope this addresses your questions.

Your charts are a work of art Ninja and your explanations beautifully simple.

Thanks for the kind words. I hope the posts are beneficial in some way.

For fans of Boxingislife's multiSto methodology, this morning provided some quality setups. The attached chart addresses these with comments and observations. Hopefully, Im adhering to the tenants of this wonderful method of trading. Patience is a key (as it is with any method that has criteria to be met). If the setup isnt obvious, it probably isnt there.

Ive also attached a couple of charts showing what each setup looked like real time (hard right edge) before it started to work in our favor. If you practice this simple technique, I think things will be easier when trading realtime. Its easy to see them when completed, the trick is to see the "first 1/2" and recognize it. If the trade is to work out (not every one does!), you wont have to worry about the second 1/2. :-)

What is the setting of your macd ?

Thanks. Nothing magic about my Macd, but it is an 8,18,8 (all expo avg).

Regarding my prior post chart (What we look for), Ive attached a chart with some thoughts on making it easier to pick these up realtime. If you feel the spread between Stos is a key element for these setups, then this may be of interest.

If your platform has visual alerts of some kind, then this could be done differently as far as aestetics go. Anyway, have a great weekend all.

Good trading.

Ive posted these same charts under my Macd/1-2-3 thread as the first setup utilizes that method, while the second setup tonite applies to the MultiStos. I use both side by side as a setup of one may/may not be picked up by the other. Having them separated also helps me focus on one type for each, rather than looking for different types within one chart.

I hope you find these useful.

Good trading.

While Im not recommending everyone take these, they do occur often enough to take note. With higher TF support (most likely divergence), these can be some rewarding trades, especially in light of the fact that some will turn out to be the actual turn for a new move. Use caution, and keep an eye on a higher TF(s). If these occur at sup/res areas, this will undoubtedly be a plus.

Good trading

Heres a trade Im currently in. The setup was an "aggressive" multiSto setup as detailed in prior posts here. It also qualified for a divergence trade as described in my Multi-TF divergence "timing" thread. We'll see how things turn out.

Good trading.

Hi all that are still reading here from time to time

after Ninja96 posts ( thank you Ninja96 I feasted upon them )

I thought some colored Stoch indicators would be visually great, so here you are

1: Standard Stoch with Colored K Line and Dash Dash D Line

2: Colored D Line Stoch

3: Colored D Line Stoch in Dots

my screen back ground color is DarkGray so the K Line is in DarkGray to make it vanish

set as you will

enjoy
