Gonna watch them videos and re-read all me books 🤓

forget re-reading your books, once you've seen the patterns and indicators and recognise they work sometimes that's it really. Instead get to work on finding a formulae that will work for you and your markets/time frames and a good place to start is the videos. First find and so discount what doesn't work, then pick what does ok and try out on your own charts, amend and try different combos of indicators, the goal is that all important win rate v R plot on the profitability chart.

going back to the Trading Rush video backtests, his MACD with a ema filter over 100 trades came in at 62% win rate for a set 1:1.5 risk/reward so a winning strategy, so what happened when you eyeball backtested it over 20 trades on your preferred market and your preferred chart time frame?

 

Thank you for finding this. I will be paying more attention to the crossover of the 20 and 60 period moving average on the 5 min chart. Not quite the 12/26 ratio of the MACD, but still. His test of the crossover of the 9 and 21 period EMA also came out as profitable as well.

lol he is talking about arbitrage, taking advantage of price discrepancies between brokers.  Sounds like something out of 'The New Market Wizards' (silver arbitrage in the 70s).  Then there's the old-style floor brokers who had an edge but it was over their own clients and monkey business with options pricing.  Funny how many traders have got their 'edge' from exploiting weaknesses rather than through 'analysis'.

10 min chart with 20 & 50 SMA, RSI and 4 hour pivots on PRT - very nice :D

Prefer those MA lines over MACD

yes, an interesting segment but just a fraction of a 20 year career.

great, what's the stats on the backtest?

Extremely positive :D Price breaks 20 SMA, holds above it, then it's above 50 SMA and it carries on for some time usually - the 50 SMA is usually a support from that point and the exit is when it's beneath 50 SMA (on a candle close underneath, without a shadow touching the line itself)

And the markets continue to go up!

yes, betting on a earlier rather than a later end to global lockdown, the problem is for politicians to climb down without losing face. No easy task now that most Brits are too scared to leave their homes (Yougov polls) due to the initial fear mongering by er, politicians.

I guess I'm a W recovery believer and finding it hard to see a correlation between market news and price action at the moment. 2 days of absolute dire economic numbers out of the US and UK, yet a good number from China (if you can believe them) and news that countries are starting to loosen restrictions and the market thinks the worst is over. Surely the damage is already done and it will take a long time for economies to recover. Either that or we're in a V and I'm just bitter I didn't buy up all the stock on the 23rd of March :)

yes the data news was always going to be bad from the moment they hit the switch and turned everything off. The longer it stays off the greater the number of bankruptcies and the worse things will be as more will have to start all over again.

If the on switch is hit sooner rather than later then it's a V but a W is still a possibility.

“If there is a silver-lining in today’s dismal jobs report, it is in the realization that the economy cannot possibly get any worse than it is right now,” said Chris Rupkey, chief economist at MUFG in New York. “Joblessness can only diminish from this point forward as many states start reopening.”

MAs are no use during whipsaws.    So then another piece of the puzzle has to be, 'Do I use the principle of higher highs/lows or do I try and do an Elliot Wave count'.

Alternatively, you can just buy when price > 200 SMA and sell when price < 200 SMA.  That seems to be better than most other indicators  LOL

Well the lows have been defined by the 20 hour MA and the 5 hour MA suggests consolidation.

A 20 & 50 in combination with 200 seems to work better though 🧐 lol

we are not at home to Mr Seems while we are entertaining Mr Stats, Mr Seems is a fickle character who is constantly changing his mind due to prejudice and bias, not stable at all whereas Mr Stats is stolid and unbowed in the face of the wavering short term outlook.

Huh well.  I watched the guy's backtesting videos more carefully (slowing them down to 0.25x speed) and I like it a lot.  I used to think 'back testing' required writing a program and going through the complicated process of getting ProBacktester to simulate trades.

The problem with the MA crossovers is that you don't really just want to get out of the trade if you reach a limit, you want to let it run until price closes beneath the 20 SMA.

At least I can see some areas where I could have done better yesterday.

I've been trying out steps with a MACD, PSAR and 200 SMA combination (triple filter) on a 10 minute chart and it wins most of the time 😻 haha

    • Sometimes, the complexities of the crypto space can be an obstacle in adoption but when DeFi options which users are acquainted with are presented, it breaks the ice and that is what Lista project seems to offering. Lista DAO is a decentralized stablecoin lending protocol designed for ease of use. Built on the BNB Chain, Lista offers users staking, liquid staking, and borrowing features with its lisUSD stablecoin by leveraging Proof-of-Stake (PoS). One key feature is liquid staking, where users can stake their assets and earn rewards while maintaining liquidity through liquid staking tokens (LSTs). Users can also borrow lisUSD against collateral and farm additional lisUSD for further yield generation. The protocol utilizes a dual token system (lisUSD and LISTA) to facilitate various functionalities like instant conversions, borrowing, and yield farming. The LISTA token listing is around the corner and their choice of CEX Bitget I believe will expose them to more communities and potential investors.
    • Copper Elliott Wave Analysis Function - Counter-Trend Mode - Corrective Structure - Zigzag Position -Wave 4 Direction - Wave 5 Details - It appears wave 4 has been completed but we need a confirmation above 4.686 with an impulse break. Otherwise, the price could make a minor corrective bounce below the confirmation level and falter further. Copper prices are reversing upward, recovering from the sell-off that began on May 20, 2024. The broader picture indicates that this sell-off is a correction within the larger bullish cycle that started in October 2023. The current recovery, which began on June 18, 2024, has the potential to rise further and possibly break the high from May 20, 2024.   Daily Chart Analysis: On the daily chart, a bullish impulse wave has been developing since July 2022, when copper hit a low of $3.13. This impulse wave is currently in wave (3). Specifically, wave 3 of (3) concluded at $5.192, and wave 4 of (3) likely ended at the low on June 18. We can anticipate copper prices to recover into wave 5, completing wave (3) above $5.192 before the next pullback for wave (4) occurs. The invalidation level for this wave count is at $3.975.   H4 Chart Analysis: On the H4 chart, wave 4 appears as a double zigzag pattern. Wave a (circled) of 4 ended with an impulse structure, while wave c (circled) concluded with an ending diagonal pattern. A bullish confirmation would occur if the price breaches $4.686 with an impulse wave, indicating a strong likelihood of further recovery.   Alternative Scenario: Alternatively, the decline on the H4 chart could be interpreted as an impulse wave. If this is the case, the current bullish recovery remains valid. However, we would not see a breach of the $5.192 high before the price resumes its downward movement to break below $4.379. Therefore, in both scenarios, copper prices are expected to maintain their current recovery to at least the $4.69-$4.788 range in the near term.   Summary: Copper has been recovering from the sell-off that started on May 20, 2024, within the context of a larger bullish cycle that began in October 2023. On the daily chart, a bullish impulse wave has been forming since July 2022, with wave 3 of (3) completing at $5.192 and wave 4 of (3) likely concluding at the June 18 low. The price is expected to rise into wave 5, surpassing $5.192 before the next pullback for wave (4). The invalidation level for this wave count is at $3.975.   On the H4 chart, wave 4 is identified as a double zigzag, with wave a (circled) ending in an impulse and wave c (circled) in an ending diagonal. Bullish confirmation would be a break above $4.686 with an impulse wave, signaling further recovery.    Alternatively, if the decline is an impulse wave, the bullish recovery is still valid but without breaching $5.192 before dropping below $4.379. In either scenario, copper prices are likely to continue recovering to the $4.69-$4.788 range in the near term. Technical Analyst : Sanmi Adeagbo Source : Tradinglounge.com get trial here!
