Flag trading the trend

here's my trades for today:



1 loss
2 win
3 win
4 loss

Signal was good one after that was good too. But if up 40 shut charts down

might get late signal long at 47

You take it

I guess you guys are no longer using the -2 tick entry technique - otherwise trades 2 & 3 would not have filled ?

I'm also looking at ditching the moving average... & I should have been trading CL during the European morning today :

Ditched that awhile ago missed to many trades.
Enter below low stop above high

15, not 20t, stop ?

Is that ha at bottom if is attach macd fast line to it

<p>20 tick stop 30 target then 20 on second 13 tick range bars

no didn't take it Harold ... would have been be

Seems to be just another squiggly line...

(in TradeStation I can turn the HA bars into dots, which looks better, but I will trade this live in NinjaTrader.)

You know jt i wonder how many trades that went against a trade 15 to 19 ticks and then won if only a couple risk could be reduced to 15 ticks. And if it didnt go to 20 we could reenter at original price will reseach

Jt put a standard macd in a different window and if sloping is the same then the ha is perfect

I think it boils down to the anomoly of ha showing 1 thing and price another while sloping

I have only looked at this really closely the last 48 hrs, but it seems that many losers have a reverse setup almost immediately... (well, it's the nature of a range bar to close at its high or low and it would most likely NOT be a "true" setup as not with the swing).. but if we exit straight away at say -7 or -8 in these cases, this might be one way to go.

I don't think we need to worry about 100% winners...

PS. The MACD line is really only another way of displaying price averaging : my eyes aren't what they used to be - nor is the rest of me - but I can see if the price bars are swinging up or down. And always good to know where the session high & low is, of course...

No such thing as 100% winner's 60 to 70 % makes a lot of money

<p>Then ha should be fine just make sure its a nice pullback. I have a sma or you can use a trendline to gage the pb also make sure market is waving no sideways action trades

Shouldn't really share this without researching it better first, but you've got me going & I quite like the look of this 34/3 Regression Channel. Long at the bottom, short at the top after a good swing (like just now & with all other rules in place), target the other end of the channel, typically 30 ticks away (well that fits !). But remember, these channels suddenly flip after a reversal (which one usually wants...) &, anyway, the key you are so kindly sharing seems to fit the door to the mint already :



Supper time here...

The great thing about trading crude futures is there are setups everyday no spreads and fees are 4.50 per lot per trade and you dont trade against brokers

Just put macd in window below it both lines
