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

Enjoy!

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.

    • @sxiqxx, Well done on making your first post a promising strategy. @everyone, post up if you want this coded into an EA. Although I switched to TradeStation, I still have an active MT5 demo with MetaEditor. I can code it without referencing object oriented programming which should be retroactively compatible with MT4. Let me know...
    • Please allow me to retort (in jest): RESPONSE 1 : Get a job supervising others where you're in control of performance reports and ride those others 100%. This makes your performance 100% with little to no effort.   RESPONSE 2: Feel free to piss off your boss but stay nonviolent. When the side effects of his viagra and testosterone boosters cause him to physically assault you, you have the legal upper hand. This can result in a boatload of trading capital.   RESPONSE 3: Feel free to have intimate relations with your boss if she finds you attractive. Rest assured that mum's the word because once again, you have the legal upper hand. This can also result in a boatload of trading capital.   RESPONSE 4: Don't be fake friends with any enemies... unless you need information from them. Being fake friends with everyone will cause you to become an empty shell of a person with no direction in life.   REPONSE 5: Get your boss to become reliant on your performance (really, just the performance of your subordinates), and then plan an "overheard" conversation wherein you fake an interview with another potential employer. You'll probably get a pay increase or a promotion.   RESPONSE 6: If you can give your 75% percent to a project, give 50% and rely on your legal upper hand(s). Learn to write trading algo's during your other 50%.   RESPONSE 7: Take all of the office boys out to nightclub where you merely sip soft drinks on a weeknight. Upon your return to the office in the morning, inform the security guards that all of the office boys are intoxicated. Your boss will love you for it.   RESPONSE 8: Never try to prove your client wrong or find faults in their processes, but do secretly collect their information in case you jump ship or "someone you know" decides to start his own company.   RESPONSE 9: Never stay in a firm for too long. Instead, use your ill-gotten capital to exit the rat-race and start trading.   RESPONSE 10: Trading pays more than your career. Interpersonal skills are now irrelevant. Use your technical skills for trading. Never stop learning and keep updating your technical skills.😁
    • There are a lot of trading strategies like elliot waves, wyckoff etc so we need to apply those who best suited to our need and are understandable too.
    • Scalping can be good during the high volatile markets however the new traders should be careful while entering and exiting the markets too quickly since they can make losses as well. If the broker support news trading we can make most out of the scalping in my opinion.  
    • In my opinion these candlestick charts are more easier to understand as compared with the other charts.
