for trend market.... use fade system on 10 pnt basis

for example....

if one believes there is trend....

 

on wednesday 47...38 and 43....33

the method is to reverse position on a 4--5 point gain

 

the objective is to use the counter trend trade to fund an entry in the direction of trend

 

Might I ask how you tend to determine trend? In any case you seem to have a good eye for it. From your posts I can see you have avoided a few fades that would not have worked out.

... the system is not easy...

... because for the most part one should take all signals produced.... and try not to avoid taking any signals...

... when you take a signal which doesn't work out.... you are stuck with a 3 point loss, depending on whether you entered at 9 or 10 points and used a 3 point stop on it

(in either case the max loss is 3 points)

 

 

... 2 ways to minimize the losses, are

 

one)

... to move your stop to the turn if it goes 3 points from the turn ..and move your stop to break even if it goes 3 points from your entry (if you entered and it went 10.25--12.75 points before turning)

 

... on the trades that don't work...sometimes you still get a small bounce at 10 points

... hopefully this small bounce is at least 3 points so you can move the stop to the turn for a small loss later or even move it to break even depending on how big the bounce was

 

two)

either stay out or use a trend system as described (rather than this system which is a fade system)

 

three)

think twice before taking a signal if there is a gap which has not been filled in the other direction.... think twice if the 9/18 sma says stay out

==

 

.. to try to answer your question about determining trend

 

i am posting the same chart as the last one... but with a 9/18 sma on it

... where price was dropping, look at the angle of 9/18 ..and the distance between the 9 and 18 lines.. and how they are parallel to each other with no divergence

... this condition shows that there is a very good chance for continuation or trend

 

... now compare this condition to how the 9/18 looked on the previous signals in the chart

... moving sideways, bulges between, no steep angle, not parallel to each other

 

so, for example, let's say you went short at the high signal

.. if you were already short, then the 9/18 might either keep you in the trade at 10 points, or it might keep you from taking a long, or reversing to long

 

... even if price doesn't continue for another 10 points, the 9/18 could still save you from

getting stopped out on a move which goes more than 13 points before turning

 

... on a side note, i am still trying to work out the trend system rules... or... what rules to use when the trader wants to capitalize on the trend rather than fade it

 

... and as said previously, the fade system is not mine. i did not come up with it.

 

Might I ask how you tend to determine trend?

 

In any case you seem to have a good eye for it.

From your posts I can see you have avoided a few fades that would not have worked out.

on the 03....93

 

at 4-5 ... or 07--08

 

if you believed the trend was down.... you would just reverse position and use the gain to fund a stop on a short entry

 

...also... the gap was below any long entries... which is bearish for long plays

 

 

03

....93

89.75 was low pivot.

99.5 was high pivot

---------------------------------------------

next low pivot was 90

-------------------

next high pivot was 96.... would be a stop out at 86

----------------------------

 

next signal from 81..... 91 short

but gap is above

 

 

 

waiting for 87.25

..or 10 from the last low pivot

    • Question: To those that had/have cancer, what were the signs that made you think “something is not right here” to make you go see a doctor? Answer: So, 5/25/2018, I woke up, got ready for work, and as I walked to my car, I started gagging. Like something was stuck in my throat and I needed to clear it. And then it went away.   But 10 minutes after that, I was T-boned at 40mph on the driver side door. But what made me see a doctor was while my muscles felt better and bruises were going away, the gagging still continued, I started having fevers, my neck felt swollen, I was having such a hard time breathing, and I'd have random sharp pains in my chest, but not from where the seat belt saved me.   2 weeks after the accident, I finally see an urgent care doctor, who looks me over, tells me I'm fine, but luckily requests a neck X-ray. And I ask for a chest X-ray, which he rolls his eyes but let me have (most of my pain was in the neck, so I understand).   The very next day, he calls and says “So, that chest X-ray shows there's a 4 inch mass on your heart and lungs, and your lungs have been filling up with fluid, as well as in your pericardial (heart) wall. We need you to come in tomorrow.”   Turns out the big mass, due to the accident, caused my heart and lungs to tear and fill with fluid, the swollen neck and gagging was caused by 2 metastasized tumors, and the fevers and weight loss were symptoms. Stage 4b Hodgkin's Lymphoma.   But thankfully, we went very aggressive with chemo (and had a lot of bad side effects that don't normally happen to patients), and now I'm about 16 months cancer-free. Yay lucky X-rays!
