You have to be very quick with this approach as it is a mini counter trend momentum method which can quickly exhaust.

Also I don't see how he is making a living out of this because he trades the Emini Dow (YM) which is $5 per tick. He takes two trades a day and then stops and it appears that he makes around 14 to 21 ticks in profit which is 12 to 19 after commissions. So that equates to between $60 and $95 a day (or £30 to £48 as he is UK based) and that is not enough to live on in my view.

well 60 to 95 dollars "per contract" will make it... you can trade 50 contracts very confortable on YM... so that will make you 3000 to 4750 per day... could that be enough ? cheers Walter.

Re: Five Tick Trading

I agree but he doesn't trade more than 2 contracts and often only 1 on the YM. Also the volume on YM is a fraction of that on ES so if I were going to use multiple contracts I would mostly use ES

Well he probably needs to grow on the volume psicological barrier... trading volume demands certain psicological preparation, but if his method its good enough, he should be able to grow quite fast to a 50 contract level... on ES you can trade much more Paul... its just on your mind the hability to manage larger orders or not... cheers Walter.

Andrew,

Please check if one of these is what you're looking for. They are for Ninjatrader and Metatrader4.

ENJOY

Hi Ztrader,

Let's see how this one works for you. I have the latest version of NT and I just imported the same adxvma and works fine as shown on the attached screenshot. I am not sure if these are the right settings you are looking for.
