@HMB

Just in case it could improve anything, this is a message that I get from IG on my dashboard.

I personally think that shorter time frames are bound to failure. I can' prove it, I am just talking from my own experience. It is difficult to let your trades run over a few days because of the DFB fee but in the long run it pays out.

FWIW here is a video of someone who could trade 250 times a day. But with the preparation and focus required, I think it is the exception which proves the rule.

Interesting, I took a few notes. He plays Nasdaq stocks and waits for institutional moves looking at level 2 orders.

He sits down for 6 hours non-stop in front of the screen, I don't know if I could do that.

ok, closed the trade and entered Dec future long instead (stop 12800).  (R2 here = closing/intraday ATH, I guess..?  will watch out for that..)

looking forward to the money rolling in...  happy to split the virtual demo funds...  ;) 

stop hit - now much lower, no signal..

Try using MACD to help give you a sense of momentum and direction

does that work?  to me all indicators seem lagging - if I see anything looking at them at all.  I need a view of what might happen in the future and why (in other words:  anticipate the very rich exploiting opportunities to take money from the less rich).

To me at best an indicator works as a self-fulfilling prophecy - which with all the automated trading, indicator trading courses, and guided algorithms may become ever more accurate, admitted.

but I I'm not an expert at all.

let me try to learn - why is MACD better than RSI?   or what does it tell you and when?

Indicators lag the market price, you can set the Indicator for certain things - using the default setting of an Indicator is about as bad as you could get it - If you blindly trade an Indicator it will not result in mega riches if it works as desired at all

That being said you can structure a Indicator to do certain things which can result in them working much better than blindly trading them

ALL Indicators measure MOMENTUM of price action - the maths inside the Indicator determine how it "looks" on a chart and what values it gives

It depends on your trading method as to how you use an indicator - but for getting into a trade right near a low point I don't think you can beat RSI

ok, how do you use it?

I've found the most use for it on a daily chart, when RSI diverges from price at a bottom (lower price, higher RSI) and during an uptrend when the price is very far away from moving averages and RSI is very overbought, it's a sign to get out.  The MACD is useful for entering positions though.

thanks!  guess it makes sense to have a view on momentum (i.e. on what momentum traders are likely to do).  will keep your assessment of RSI in mind!

thank you!  I guess if you have some experience using these, it becomes more intuitive.  I will try to keep an eye on them.

typo - 12540 of course, sorry

Apologies again for the typo - really stupid not to check this.  maybe should have left the position displayed in the chart as before to avoid misunderstandings.

lowered the stop now to 12613.5, simply because this would already be a relatively large gain for a single trade for me, and I somehow sense high probability that someone "messes up" the range expansion pattern/move (like a super rich guy taking money from the very rich...) - it kinda would have worked too well  (although Denise Shull points out that it's sometimes the best trades that come with this feeling).

This.  Although I do it myself, moving your stop can mean that you limit your profits.  Better to trade with a fixed risk to reward and let it run till the end.

Thanks, I understand.  

Maybe this is generally true, I genuinely don't know.  It would have run further this time, sure, but I've seen my profits melting away often enough.

You need 1 indicator for trend direction and force (degree of slope) and a sharper indicator for a trigger. I would use RSI for trend not trigger, same for psar.

this may seem totally unrelated - and I may be missing the point...  but above comment made me think about how to use different time frames more systematically (so thanks again!)...:

Today I believe was a good example case: after NDX overnight low was finally taken out, I tried to catch an expected rebound early.  lost a bit with fake signals I "believed to see" on the 1 min and 10 sec chart..  however the actual rebound was then indicated by higher lows in the one second chart.

probably this was highly dependent on the circumstances today though (Don Quarantino vs Stimulating Nancy...), the extent of the drop, Friday afternoon, etc.

nevertheless will try to keep this (always checking the shorter time frame chart before opening/closing a trade) as a component of a  - slightly - more systematic approach..

    • USDCHF Elliott Wave Analysis Trading Lounge U.S. Dollar / Swiss Franc (USDCHF) Day Chart USDCHF Elliott Wave Technical Analysis Function: Trend Mode: Impulsive Structure: Navy Blue Wave 1 Position: Gray Wave 3 Next Lower Degree Direction: Navy Blue Wave 2 Details: Navy Blue Wave 1 of Gray Wave 3 is still active and appears close to completion. Wave Cancellation Level: 0.83765 The USDCHF day chart's Elliott Wave analysis indicates a bullish trend in an impulsive mode, focused on navy blue wave 1. This wave structure aligns with gray wave 3, suggesting that navy blue wave 1 of gray wave 3 is nearing its completion phase. After navy blue wave 1 concludes, a transition to navy blue wave 2 is anticipated, signaling a possible corrective phase before a further upward trend. With navy blue wave 1 of gray wave 3 still underway, this analysis points to continued upward momentum for the USDCHF pair. The wave cancellation level is set at 0.83765; if the price remains above this threshold, the bullish wave structure is expected to continue, maintaining a positive trend outlook. Conversely, a drop below this level would invalidate the current wave analysis, possibly shifting the outlook away from the bullish trend. The position within gray wave 3 suggests an impulsive upward movement, though nearing the completion of navy blue wave 1 could bring a short-term correction before the primary trend resumes. For traders and investors monitoring USDCHF, this analysis suggests a potential for bullish continuation, as long as the trend remains above the invalidation level, with attention to a possible retracement in navy blue wave 2 before further advances. In summary, USDCHF shows a bullish impulsive trend, positioned in navy blue wave 1 of gray wave 3. The structure supports further upward movement if the price stays above the invalidation level of 0.83765. A completion of navy blue wave 1 suggests a potential short-term correction before resuming the broader upward trend.   U.S. Dollar / Swiss Franc (USDCHF) 4-Hour Chart USDCHF Elliott Wave Technical Analysis Function: Trend Mode: Impulsive Structure: Orange Wave 5 Position: Navy Blue Wave 1 Next Lower Degree Direction: Navy Blue Wave 2 Details: Orange Wave 4 appears completed, with orange wave 5 currently active. Wave Cancellation Level: 0.83765 The USDCHF 4-hour chart Elliott Wave analysis shows a bullish trend in an impulsive mode, focusing on orange wave 5, which follows the completion of orange wave 4. Currently, price action is positioned within navy blue wave 1, with an anticipated transition to navy blue wave 2 in the lower degrees. This impulsive structure suggests the potential for continued upward movement for the USDCHF pair. With orange wave 4 marked as complete, orange wave 5 is now underway, indicating further upside potential. The invalidation level at 0.83765 is a critical threshold; if the price falls below this level, the current wave structure will be invalidated, signaling a possible shift or correction in the USDCHF trend. As long as the price remains above this threshold, however, the bullish outlook stays intact, suggesting that wave 5 may continue its impulsive rise. Traders and investors following navy blue wave 1 within this structure may anticipate further gains, consistent with the higher-degree bullish trend defined by orange wave 5. A transition to navy blue wave 2 is expected as the next phase, contingent on price levels upholding the present wave structure. This outlook presents a potential bullish setup for the USDCHF pair as it advances within this impulsive wave formation. In summary, USDCHF is exhibiting a bullish trend within the impulsive orange wave 5. The completion of orange wave 4 and the active rise of orange wave 5 strengthen the bullish outlook. Monitoring the invalidation level at 0.83765 is essential to validate the ongoing trend; remaining above this level would support further upward momentum, suggesting a continuation within the current wave structure.
