An Edge for an Edge (System Development)

stocks/commodities
in forex is less reliable.

define long term trend
if bullish (reverse for bearish trend)
buy tomorow at the break of yesterday high, if yesterday price made at least 5 day low and finaly closed bullish.(reverse for sell)
trail the stop or exit after 90 days (i sugest you to trail the stop because if you are selling stocks because most of the time thei fall faster in price and in an short amount of time)

another trick used by commodity funds was counting ships leaving and entering as well where they are going/coming from and what commodity they are carrying, to understand better the supply/demand of markets.

i understand from someone (i don't know if it's real or not) that the big boys from a big hedge fund, use images from satellites with chines citties to make conclusion on real estate market from that country.

another trick
-define long term trend
use 5 minute charts
add to your chart: MACD 30,60,30 and MACD 12,26,5
Go long if (reverse for short):
-long term trend is up
-macd 30,60,30 is above 0
-macd 12,26,5 was below zero
-after first break of macd12,26,5 above zero buy next candle at the open
-STOP at the lowes low of the last 4 candles
-CLOSE half of position at break even
-Trail the STOP on remaining contracts or exit at 3x risk

what's hapening? no more tricks? are you guys short EDGES big time? )

some are saying if you want to make money buy high and sell higer, other buy low and sell higher
so f0ck them, you took your life in your hands and decided to be an investor, but you don't like just to buy low and sell higer because maybe the trend is not bullish
trade only stocks

yesterday was an bullish day and the close was above lower bb, and actual price is higher than yesterday high
STOP yesterday low
Trail the stop/exit when price hits the higher bb or exit after 1 year of hold like buffet for all your life.

trick for stocks and indices
play only long side
use 15,30 or 1h charts
for the sanity of your account define some rules to reduce trading freqvency like trade stocks that are only 60usd or more, and only if mediu/long term trend is bullish, etc.
bb22,2
go long if price breaks the high of last candle
and the close and open of the last candle were outside the lower bb band.
stop last low

another trick for forex/stocks,commodities etc.
use only daily charts
define long term trend
for long: percived trend is bullish (reverse for bearish trends)
if today was an bearish day, but the close and the low werent below yesterday low, buy with 5-10 minutes before market close
stop lowest low from the past 2 days.
trail the stop.

An object at rest will remain at rest unless acted on by an unbalanced force. An object in motion continues in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.
use daily charts
trade only the 8 majors forex pairs, commodities and indicies.
buy today at open if las 3 days were bullish days
stop lowest low in the last 3 days
close half position an break even
close remaining position at the open after 3 bearish days and go short.

use daily charts
trade only stocks (define some rules like use this trick only on stocks priced more than 60usd, etc.)
for long (reverse for short)
if today market opened lower and the high didn't fill the gap go long when the gap is filled but only in the next 3 days
if gap not filled in next 3 days, ignore signal
set stop at lowes low from the last 3 days

trick for company recently listed on stock exchange
trade only long side
trade only after the first 3 or 5 days after company was listed (in this days it was enough trading that price to get a proper structure,granuality and volatility)
take the signals made only in the first 10 or 15 days after the first rule
use 5,10,15 or 30 min charts
search for cup pattern or someting similar like an u
if price breaks trouch the high of the pattern and adx is higher than 40 go long
set stop (see on chart i don't know to explain it in english)
if trade profitable trail the stop/exit after 5 to 10 days
im very shure that some of you know this pattern but the trick i discovered was the place of stop loss to have smaller loss than most traders and in effect an larger reward.
please don't trade penny stocks using this pattern

you can apply above pattern in forex as well
advice: trade only in the direction of long term trend and trade only the majors
for sell (reverse for long)

trick for stocks only
use daily charts only
you can trade this setup as it is, whihout defining the trend (you don't find this pattern every day) but with proper risk management.
be patient it;s an 3 days setup
for long (reverse for sell)
if today price opened with an upward gap and closed bullish wait for next day candle
if the second candle makes a low that is filling the yesterday gap then buy tomorow at the break of yesterday high
stop at yesterday low

trick for forex,commodities, stocks you name it
from time to time this setup leads to nice explosive moves, the reward can be from 5x to 30x risk, its really nice
trade the fakeout of an inside day
for long (reverse for sell)
buy today at the break of tow days ago high, if yesterday price made the lowest low and closed bullish and only if the 2 days ago candle was an inside day
stop at yesterday low

for stock market
only daily charts
for long (reverse for short)
go long today, in the last 5 to 15miutes of session if yesterday was an inside day, and today open price gapped upward and today low didn't fill the gap and if its an bullish day
stop today low
trail the stop

or for lowering the bad trades use this rules:
for long:
if yesterday was an inside day
and today price gapped upward and today low didn't fill the gap and today closed bullish then go long tomorow at the break of yesterday high

rull them all
for stocks
daily charts
go long (reverse for sell)
if yesterday was an bearish day and today open price opened near the yesterday open and today price closed bullish, then go long tomorow at the open
stop at the low of the bearish candle (in the picture the low of bearish day is also the close price so you set the stop there)
trail the stop

forex, stocks etc.
daily charts
for long (reverse for short)
buy today at market open if yesterday was an bullish day and the day before yesterady was an bullish outside day
stop at the low of outside day

the 30% rule
it's nice because it's based on the volatility of market traded
trade forex, stocks, commodities etc
only daily charts
define long term trend (go long only in uptrend/sell for downtrend)
for long
long term trend is bullish
wait for a pullback/retrace in trend
the retrace is defined as: at least 2 days in opposite directions (2 bearish days in this case with lowe high and lower lows). personaly i look only for retraces that have 3 days opposite candlles or more
i sum up last 3 bearish days volatility
then i calculate what it's 30% of the sum
then i go long tomorow if actual price is 30% higher from the open
i place the stop below the open price of today minus the 30%
i'm realy bad at math an explaining things, hope the picture explain it better
close trade when trend change or trail the stop

this is a nice setup because you can modify it to suit you
instead of 30% you can use 25 or 10%
or instead a retrace with 2 opposite candles you can trade only when you have 4 candle opposite to trend

trick for forex, bonds, stocks etc.
because is rare u can use charts that are lower than daily charts
but i sugest to define some rule to buy only in uptrends and sell in downtrends
you wait for an inside day but you dont trade the breakout of inside day
for sell (reverse for long)
after an inside day was formed and today price breakout to the upside but the high didn't break trouch the high of mother candle then wait for next day
if next day is an outside bar then go short tomorow at market open
stop at the high/low of outside bar
trail the stop
