thanks very much Walter Anthony

Hey Walter I was just wondering what trading platform you are using in the screenshots above?.. I have also been playing with your setups on TS but find that the TS CCI isn't as nice as the one you show in the NT charts (fxst3 cci) from some of your more recent posts. Anthony

Hi Everyone! I joined a few days ago and never really did an Intro. I live in Manitoba Canada. I have been interested in the markets the last couple of years. I would like to some day make trading my livelyhood. I am hoping to learn all I can from this website. I don't know If I will be able to contribute alot, but I can see that there is much to learn. Sincerely Anthony

Hi Ronin could you post a few charts thanks ag

jj there are lots of good trades in the morning to worry @ missing one is silly. Just get ready to enter the next one. and it depends on what time frame you are trading... on the 512 tick you could market at close of signal bar using a tick counter and still get 5 points. on a large time frame you can anticipate the xup or x down. on the fast time frame like the 144 u need the limit order to guarantee the the 4 points that that chart will pay 9 times out of 10. it works best in a fast moving market! try it a minute or so after a report... you will be filled and out in 2 seconds. TS wont even show trading at your fill and you are inanddone. I personally cut 3/4 of a position out at the 4 ticks. on the 144 tick I try to go 1 tick below where the 5 ema would be. if the trade is stalling at half way through the 3rd bar I will exit market. usually if you don't get the target, the market is going to go the other way. this is where the tape reading could really help I think. Soultrader seems to have that beat. you could prob get better entries off tape. I just ordered a couple of books recommended here on the website. mind over markets and wyckoff for tape reading. When I started playing the 512 tick... there was a lot less entries but larger stops? the location of the stop is also set by looking at past history of x overs. Anthony

JJ I just realized that you meant a backtest in TS. I don't know much @ that or how to do it at all. sorry AG

Hi JJ make sure you look at the charts again....remember second bar - entry at 5 ema.... to hi/lo of 3rd bar is target depending if u went long or short. we can research 100 days of xovers...entry price on second bar to h/l of 3rd bar can be measured. then you can see that 9times out of 10 the market will move "n" number of points. as an example n = 5 then you are guaranteed 4 ticks on a limit order. the 512 tick on the ym can some days only give 4 to 5 entries all day. you would 9 times out of ten be guaranteed "n" number of points. I do have an indicator on my 512 chart in the example above. it is a simple indicator for ema/ema or ema/wma xover. Anthony yes JJ. it is simple to backtest...just check the first couple of hours every morning. I am still working on a better way of using this entry technique... I am hoping to find ways to filter trades on this forum. I oringinally did this play off a 144 tick on the ym. lots of trading and lots of commissions : ).

Hi Walter...it is really a simple strategy ...this is basically a 3 bar play... find a time frame with 3 bars between ma xovers. then there is a few points to be made. first bar is signal - shows a crossover of ma's when bar closes second bar is entry bar - extrapolate where 5 ema will be if it were a straight line and place limit order at this 5 ema extrapolation point.. third bar - high/low(depending if you went long or short) is the first target. if I find a time frame with 3 bars between ma xovers. then there is a few points to be made. it seems simple but you have to be fast on the orders...especially playing the 144 tick chart. I really like this entry technique as it guarantees a minimum move. I work full time so I don't get alot of trading time unless I work evenings. I would love to make a full time occupation of trading! Anthony pipper_boy@hotmail.com

Hey Guys I am new to the forum and relatively new to trading. I read this thread @ the indicator and was interested because I use a simple system of moving averages to trade the ym with. I use a 5 ema on close. a 6 ema on open. I simply wait for a cross and buy/sell on a pullback to the 5 ema.I have been very interested in the VSA and these VWAP and have been playing with tick delta lately as well. I love the website and great effort everyone puts in to it. AG
