Which Moving Average on a 5min Chart?

Recommended Posts

I have found that the 34 ema is very trustworthy as a pivot to fade. Woodies group uses this moving average with the cci.

 

Hi namstrader,

 

Do you trade as part of Woodies group? I am familiar with Woodie from the cci. What does Woodie mainly trade and in what time frame? Thanks

I spent about 6 months watching and learning from Woodies room. I got tired of the politics. He looks at the 5 minute primarily and also his claim is "who needs those stick'in prices" and trades with the cci only, and his setups include: zero line reject, ghost patterns, shamus, plateaus, etc.

Interesting.... although I can not agree with his comment of "who needs those stick'in prices". I actually landed on his site a few months back and read the free file or pdf he offers. Learned all about the CCI trading patterns but never bothered using them or checking it out.

 

He must be in love with the CCI to hold such confidence in it. Did you find trading purely on the CCI profitable?

Haven't seen his track record but I will never place an indicator before price. He seems to have conviced alot of novice traders in using the CCI. This may evetually backfire when the indicator no longer does what its supposed to.

I myself eventually became disillusioned with so many different setups, with setups that were for prior setups that failed. I did become comfortable using the 34 ema as a fade when prices are not flat and there is angled pricing. I have implemented the cci and rsi with my own adaptations, as my lagging indicators. I use trendlines on the cci and rsi, when I see a 3 point trendline for both, and also a 3 point trendline on the ER ticks (which leads) I am prepared to a take position. Another setup I like is when a trendline of 3 or 4 points on the cci and rsi is broken, a explosive reverse has been observed to occur. Also when the cci stays below 100, or for some they use the zero line, or trendline break, a trade is exited when broken.

I rarely find the RSI useful. The only setup I use the RSI is when there is price and RSI divergence at a pivot. The way you expalin CCI reminds me of TICK's and TICk trendline/channel breaks.

 

namstrader, is the 5min chart the shortest timeframe you use? Personally I found it to be too large of a timeframe to trade intraday. Probably because we have different styles.

Soultrader,

 

I look at the 1 3 5 minute charts simultaneously, while also being cognizant of what the 240 60 30 15 minute charts are all saying. It is amazing how parallel channels complete with such symmetry on these longer time frames. And therefore I am constantly drawing trendlines on my charts throughout the intraday. I also watch market internals and now, with Market Profile with Daily Pivots, I seem to be more aware of the playing field and I have reference points to play off of now. I am still not profitable with consistency but I know I will be there soon. Watching and listening to you Soultrader, is taking me further toward this goal.

Thank you namstrader. I also plan to learn from various traders like yourself on any area I can improve. I believe we all have our strengths and weaknesses and is important we learn to improve our weaknesses.

 

For example, I mainly watch a 233 TICK chart, 30 min Market Profile chart, and a daily chart. I want to improve my analysis using longer time frames like the 60 and 240. I'm sure I have alot I can learn from you too namstrader. :)

it's an old thread, but who can explain or show on the chart what Namstrader ment by 3(4) point cci/rsi trendline

thank you

The upper indicator is the CCI and the lower one is the RSI. When you see these trendline breaks of 4 waves on the RSI, is occasionally explosive in a reversed trend to follow. Basically it is a breakout from a channel and sometimes is more visual to me with the CCI and RSI with their observed patterns they show often.

 

Also when I notice a 3 point line on either the CCI or RSI, this has shown a move is going to occur from the long side or short side.

 

I like to watch for divergences also with price at pivotal areas of support and resistance.

 

I played with watching the CCI and RSI for several years and I use to take signals exclusively from them. I no longer do this, instead it is just another tool that I have for confirmation or filter.

    • Date: 29th March 2024. GBPUSD Analysis: The Pound Trades Higher But For How Long? The global Stocks Markets are closed due to Easter Friday (Good Friday). The NASDAQ continued to follow the sideways trend while other indices again rose. The SNP500 reaches an all-time high, but the NASDAQ remains under pressure from Tesla, Meta and Apple. The Euro continues to trade lower against all major currencies including the US Dollar, Euro and Japanese Yen. The British Pound is the best performing currency during this morning’s Asian session. However, investors are largely fixing their attention on this afternoon’s Core PCE Price Index. GBPUSD – The Pound Trades Higher but For How Long? The GBPUSD is slightly higher than the day’s open and is primary due to the Pound’s strong performance. At the moment, the British Pound is increasing in value against all major currencies. However, the US Dollar Index is also trading 0.10% higher and for this reason there is a slight conflict here. If investors wish to avoid this conflict, the EURUSD is a better option. This is because, the Euro depreciating against the whole currency market avoiding the “tug-of-war” scenario. The GBPUSD is trading slightly lower than the 2-month’s average price and is trading at 49.10 on the RSI. For this reason, the price of the exchange is at a “neutral” level and is signalling neither a buy nor a sell. The day’s price action and future signals are possibly likely to be triggered by this afternoon’s Core PCE Price Index. Analysts expect the Core PCE Price Index to read 0.3% which is slightly lower than the previous month but will result in the annual figure remaining at 2.85%. The PCE rate is different to the inflation rate and the Fed aims for a rate between 1.5% to 2.00%. Therefore, even if the annual rate remains at 2.85%, as analysts expect, it would be too high for the Fed. If the rate increases, even if only slightly, the US Dollar can again renew bullish momentum and the stock market can come under pressure. This includes the SNP500. Investors are focused on the publication of data on the UK’s gross domestic product (GDP) for the last quarter of 2023: the quarterly figures decreased by 0.3%, and 0.2% over the past 12-months. This confirms the state of a shallow recession and the need for stimulation. The data, combined with a cooling labor market and a steady decline in inflation, increase the likelihood that the Bank of England will soon begin interest rate cuts. In the latest meeting the Bank of England representatives did not see any members vote for a hike. USA500 – The SNP500 Rises to New Highs, But Cannot Hold Onto Gains! The price of the SNP500 rises to an all-time high, before correcting 0.33% and ending the day slightly lower than the open price. Nonetheless, the index performs better than the NASDAQ which came under pressure from Tesla, Meta and Apple which hold a higher weight compared to the SNP500. For the SNP500, these 3 stocks hold a weight of 9.25%, whereas the 3 stocks make up 14.63% of the NASDAQ. The SNP500 is also supported by ExxonMobil’s gains due to higher energy prices. The market will remain closed on Friday due to Easter. However, the market will reopen on Monday for the US and investors can expect high volatility. Investors will also need to take into consideration how the PCE Price Index and the changed value of the US Dollar is likely to affect the stock market next week.
