Swing trading with heiken ashi and stochs

Quoting leodlaure
Hi Hugh,

Thanks for introducing this system..

Have a few queries and hope you can help with it:-

1. Assuming we are on an uptrend. We look for a retrace and a doji candle with stochs crossing around 20 for an entry right? so we take the trade at the break of the newly formed candle above the high of the doji?

2. Is it advisable to trade during specific times only perhaps London, US open etc.

Thanks for your reply!

Leon
You don't necessarily need a doji but heiken ashi dojis are nice setups. The stochs can cross higher but the lower the better in an uptrend. It's the smoothness of the heiken ashi pullback and the stoch cross combined that matters the most. No need to wait for the break, just enter on the close of the first heiken ashi candle that changes colour. When you trade depends on the timeframe and pair. For 4 hour and above you can trade anytime but for hourly or below you want active markets so Europe open to London open for all pairs and Asian session can be ok for Aud/Nzd and Jpy pairs. I think that answers everything?

Hugh may weigh in different, but I don't think the entry criteria was simply a color change on the HA in line with the daily trend accompanied by a "smooth" stoch cross (not necessarily at any particular level)

Here's a quote from Hugh's pdf:

The initial trade
Our first trade will be the first valid system signal on the hourly chart.
Remember, a valid signal is a smooth pullback, stoch cross and heiken
ashi change away from the 100 sma. Quite often after a cross of the 100
[i][b]sma you...
If the first trade bounces from the 100 sma then it is a bonus but not necessary.
I took a study about the system. Actually it can be improved for better result by apply the following conditions,

1. Open position only when volatility is increasing
2. Trade only the main trend of higher time frame
3. Open position at supply and demand zone

with the origin indicator
1. Heikin
2. Moving average
3. Stochastic

Thx!

Definitely setting up nice on the WK/H4. Just have to wait for the HA candle change and the stoch cross.

Seems like it might be a little on the H1. The stoch cross happened about a week ago.
Even though stoch cross happened abut a week ago, there were a really positive news for euro, bad news for japan (iran considering shutting down oil port and Japan is oil importing country) it was a merely a pullback to 100 sma... gotta keet it run for a little while spiderbro

I find a round number grid quite useful for marking every 50 pip level, watch how many times they act as s/r. Agree with the higher timeframe bit but not sure about the volume thing. Thanks for looking into it anyway.

Hi HB,

How would you evaluate this scenario:


http://img18.imageshack.us/img18/7831/74201285622am.png


H1 crossed but then I have this “wiggly” stochcrossings already high up on the M15, with several dojis suddnely lining up. All around the MA100 (pink).

Announces a big move or shaky times around the MA100 and better stay out?

Edit:

Took short position, went to BE quickly (too quick maybe) and letīs see what it does:

It was showing signs of moving back up but the break down suggests a short. Not sure what pair it is and what the daily looks like? Looks like you called it right anyway. See if an hourly downtrend forms and you can add on.
Hi again,

trying to train my eyes on smooth crosses. This one (EUR/USD 1H) does not like a smooth cross by the book, right ?

Seems the MA100 has a resistance effect....

Cheers,

Yes, the cross is too low and you don't want to sell just above the 100 sma. It might break down but it just as well might bounce up.

Good day to monitor your open trades closely and stay away from new ones.

Did anyone take advantage of the 100 line cross and massive slide that we had over the last 30 hours or so ? Awesome move...
