Does Anyone Have Any Good ES Emini Trading System Suggestions?

Recommended Posts

I am a fairly new trader (2 years) and have worked through all of the psychological barriers that cause you not trade your system properly. Obviously the self work part will never end, but I am to the point where I can trade a system flawlessly without breaking the rules. Problem is I dont think the systems I am trading are that good. Just wondering if anyone had any system suggestions for me.

 

Thanks,

you have to "understand" your system first...

to see if it is a good fit to the market you are trading

and a good compliment to your trading style.

 

to do that... you have to understand your market.

 

otherwise it is GIGO.

Might want to check Welcome To Futures Truth Magazine of course do your own due diligence....past performance is no guarantee of.... etc. There are other similar sites too. I seem to remember a thread where someone mentioned they had just bought a system they where happy with (surprisingly). Also a while back waveslider offered to swap a simple profitable system for anything similar.

I look for cause and effect. But that gets very tricky. For example, let's say that 100% of all traders used the signal of moving average lines starting to converge. Well, . . . if enough people are trading the same strategy, maybe it will move the market.

 

So did the Moving Average Convergence/Divergence cause the price to change? Or did the market cause the Moving Averages to Converge/Diverge? They might influence each other. There may be an indirect cause and effect of plot lines on the price, but I don't think that plot lines directly effect the market. Ultimately, it's about how profitable companies are, how good the economy is, what the news was, how much certainty there is, and other factors. Those are the real causes.

Hi Brent,

 

My best advice to you is this:

 

1. Read my thread "What Really Works for Technical Traders" in the TA forum. In that thread I discuss a trading method which works very well in the euro, natural gas, soybeans,...

 

2. Quit trading the ES. Way too choppy and spends too much time testing and too little time trending. Tough market to figure out (I traded it full time for 2 years, over 10 years ago, and even though I made money, I wised up and moved to other markets that are MUCH more lucrative on a regular basis. (How about getting 8:1 on your risk capital week in, week out?)

 

I cannot guarantee your success but I can surely point you in the right direction...

 

 

Luv,

Phantom

I learned by studying charts both during and after hours, looking for similarities and ways to limit my risk. Attacking the markets from the losing side the winners will take care of themselves.

    • Date: 14th May 2024. Market News – May 14. Economic Indicators & Central Banks:   Asian stocks and European futures kept to small ranges as focus turned to upcoming US inflation reports. JGB yields surged to their highest levels in over a decade amid growing speculation that the BOJ might raise interest rates soon. Former central bank executive Momma stated that the BOJ might opt to deduct its planned bond purchases next month in an effort to revive a bond market that has been largely impaired by its ongoing substantial purchases. BOJ Governor Kazuo Ueda emphasized the importance of the market determining long-term yields independently rather than relying solely on the central bank’s actions. UK wage growth remained solid amid a slowdown in the job market, providing further arguments for the BOE’s monetary policy hawks to await more concrete signs of easing inflationary pressures before considering interest rate cuts. Eyes today are on producer price data in the US, followed by consumer price data the next day, which will provide insights into whether the Fed will consider interest rate cuts later in the year or postpone them until 2025. Financial Markets Performance:   The USDIndex is steady at 105 lows. The Yen extended losses for an 8th day against the Greenback to a 2-week low. Currently USDJPY is at 156.45. EURUSD rebounded slightly to 1.0785, however overall holds within a downwards channel with key resistance at 1.0850. USOIL held steady ahead of the release of an OPEC market outlook, with traders eagerly awaiting signals regarding the extension of supply curbs. Despite a decline since April, oil prices have remained relatively high this year due to ongoing supply restrictions by OPEC and its allies, with expectations that these curbs will be prolonged into the second half of the year. Currently USOIL is at $77.78. Gold (-0.93%) declined further to $2338 per ounce. Copper rose at +2.46% and Platinum +0.54%. Market Trends:   The 10-year JGB yield to a 6-month high of 0.965%. The 2-year JGB yield, which closely reflects policy expectations, rose to 0.340%, its highest since June 2009. The 20-year and 30-year JGB yields also surged to their highest levels in 11 years and since July 2011, respectively. FTSE100 stands by record highs, the S&P500 is close to topping March’s record high. The Nasdaq rose by 0.3%, with four of the Magnificent Seven stocks rising. The Hang Seng has added 20% in a rally that is entering a fourth week. Alibaba and Tencent report earnings later today. Always trade with strict risk management.
