My Intraday Approach

Recommended Posts

I trade with the below approach.

 

I need suggestions on senior members here.

 

I make consistent profit with to this but still would like to know more on this.

 

THE MOST IMPORTANT THINGS TO TRACK IN DAY TRADING

Previous days range (difference in days high and days low) the most important

That days’ high and that days’ low at 10:15 am after the start of markets

 

PDR = PDH - PDL

F1 = 0.4333 * PDR

F2 = 0.7666 * PDR

F3 = 1.3333 * PDR

 

Opening Range = High – Low (at 10.15 AM)

 

If F1 > Opening Range

Factor = F1

Else If F2 > Opening Range

Factor = F2

Else If F3 > Opening Range

Factor = F3

 

Buy Stop Order for Long = Intraday Low + Factor

 

Target for Long = Buy Price * 1.005 (0.5 % gain)

 

Stop for Long = Buy Price * 0.99 (1.0 % Loss)

 

Sell Stop Order for Short= Intraday High - Factor

 

Target for Short = Sell Price * 0.005 (0.5 % gain)

 

Stop for Long = Sell Price * 1.005 (1.0 % Loss)

Without looking at it too closely why are you using a risk factor of 1 and a reward factor of .5?

 

Unless your hitting like 90% win rates it will lose money in the long run will it not?

I would have though greater than 66% would be profitable?

 

Absolutely nothing wrong with 2:1 risk reward. Interesting system I like how it compares opening range with yesterdays range. It seems to have several nuances how these two parameters will place your triggers.

 

Do you play first touch only? Will you reverse if an opposite trigger is hit?

Sohan .... I'm confused. If you are trading with your calculation and entry rules you should have zero/one/two trades in the year. Please check what you have written here.

 

Right from the statistic I've never seen a day like the OR was grater then prev. range multiplied with 0.7666 or 1.333 or I could say .... OF COURSE THE F2 is most of the time larger then OR and F3 IS STILL HIGHER THEN OR.

 

I think the mistake is that you changed the rules ..... Calculated levels with F3 are support an resistance levels equal to known calculation for a possible ATR support/resistance .... Or you want to calculate the buy/sell level with the OR high/low instaed of the daily high/low.

 

I think you have to check that and to think about again.

 

Something goes wrong with this rule ....

 

If F1 > Opening Range

Factor = F1

Else If F2 > Opening Range

Factor = F2

Else If F3 > Opening Range

Factor = F3

 

Buy Stop Order for Long = Intraday Low + Factor

 

Target for Long = Buy Price * 1.005 (0.5 % gain)

 

Stop for Long = Buy Price * 0.99 (1.0 % Loss)

 

Sell Stop Order for Short= Intraday High - Factor

 

Target for Short = Sell Price * 0.005 (0.5 % gain)

 

Stop for Long = Sell Price * 1.005 (1.0 % Loss)

 

 

I think more explanation is needed. Maybe you want to buy at level like HOD - Factor and to sell at LOD - Factor. With your explanation the ENTRY levels are still the levels with factor = F3 (magenta & cyan or fat plotted) in my chart. The dotted levels are the levels calculated with F1 - F2. The fat plotted levels are the levels with factor = F3. You can see that F3 levels are supports and resistances. In 2008 I had 3 trades only wich where successfull trades with a buy @LOD+F3 or sell @HOD - F3.

 

If you would change your buy & sell rules I would understand what you are doing. A chart is attached.

 

Regards.

I think you don't understand the logic of "if, else if, else if" and assume that that because the last "else if" will almost always be true, that F3 will almost always be used. Once the first "if" is true, the "else if's" are not evaluated hence the use of "else". The system is similar to an OR type breakout system based on a fraction of the previous day added/subtracted from the high or low of today after 10:15. on the OR compared with a fraction of the previous day.

    • Why not to simply connect you account to myfxbook which will collect all this data automatically for you? The process you described looks tedious and a bit obsolete but may work for you though.
    • The big breakthrough with AI right now is “natural language computing.”   Meaning, you can speak in natural language to a computer and it can go through huge data sets, make sense out of them, and speak back to you in natural language.   That alone is a huge breakthrough.   The next leg? AI agents. Where they don’t just speak back to you.   They take action. Here’s the definition I like best: an AI agent is an autonomous system that uses tools, memory, and context to accomplish goals that require multiple steps.   Everything from simple tasks (analyzing web traffic) to more complex goals (building executive briefings or optimizing websites).   They can:   > Reason across multiple steps.   >Use tools like a real assistant (Excel spreadsheets, budgeting apps, search engines, etc.)   > Remember things.   And AI agents are not islands. They talk to other agents.   They can collaborate. Specialized agents that excel at narrow tasks can communicate and amplify one another’s strengths—whether it’s reasoning, data processing, or real-time monitoring.   What it Looks Like You wake up one morning, drink your coffee, and tell your AI agent, “I need to save $500 a month.”   It gets to work.   First, it finds all your recurring subscriptions. Turns out you’re paying $8.99 for a streaming service you forgot you had.   It cancels it. Then it calls your internet provider, negotiates a lower bill, and saves you another $40. Finally, it finds you car insurance that’s $200 cheaper per year.   What used to take you hours—digging through statements, talking to customer service reps on hold for an hour, comparing plans—is done while you’re scrolling Twitter.   Another example: one agent tracks your home maintenance needs and gets information from a local weather-monitoring agent. Result: "Rain forecast next week - should we schedule gutter cleaning now?"   Another: an AI agent will plan your vacations (“Book me a week in Italy for under $2,000”), find the cheapest flights, and sort out hotels with a view.   It’ll remind you to pay bills, schedule doctor’s appointments, and track expenses so you’re not wondering where your paycheck went every month.   The old world gave you tools—Excel spreadsheets, search engines, budgeting apps. The new world gives you agents who do the work for you.   Don’t Get Too Scared (or Excited) Yet William Gibson famously said: "The future is already here – it's just not evenly distributed."   AI agents will distribute it. For decades, the tools that billionaires and corporations used to get ahead—personal assistants, financial advisors, lawyers—were out of reach for regular people.   AI agents could change that.   BUT, remember…   We’re in inning one.   AI agents have a ways to go.   They’re imperfect. They mess up. They need more defenses to get ready for prime time.   To be sure, AI is powerful, but it’s not a miracle worker. It’s great at helping humans solve problems, but it’s not going to replace all jobs overnight.   Instead of fearing AI, think of it as a tool to A.] save you time on boring stuff and B.] amplify what you’re already good at. Right now is the BEST time to start experimenting. It’s also the best time to find investments that will “make AI work for you”.

    • What a wild year.   AI seems to be appearing everywhere you look, Paris hosted a weird Olympics, unrest continues in the Middle East, the US endured a crazy-heated election, and the largest rocket ever to fly successfully landed in a giant pair of robot arms.   Okay, but what about the $money stuff?   Well, this year we've seen a load of uncertainty - inflation is still biting and many businesses have gone down.   Property has been very fractured, with developments becoming prohibitively expensive, while other markets have boomed.   It hasn't been an easy ride, that's for sure.   However, the stock market has had some outstanding results, and for those who know how to trade, some have done VERY well for themselves.   Some have replaced their incomes. Some have set themselves up for the rest of their days on this planet.   How about you? How did you go?
