I use a combination of stochastics on multiple timeframes. I trade using the 10min, 3min, and 1min timeframe. Whenever 3 stochastics point in the same direction, I will place a trade.

Price is my indicator :) I stopped using technical indicators years ago. Now the only tools I use are market internal tools such as the TICK, TRIN, prem, and PC ratio. I also use market profile and pivot points. Read this thread to learn more about my trading techniques.

Do you use PC ratio real time or at fixed intervals?

 

I use the PC ratio in real-time. I use it as a warning tool to judge the number of longs vs shorts. If the pc ratio is high, it means that everybody is short. If everyone is short there is no one else left to sell.

 

Therefore, I can use this signal to find long setups.

 

If the PC ratio is low, it means that everybody is long. There is no one left to buy so I will look for a short signal. It use it as a contrary opinion tool.

 

The key levels on the pc ratio I look for is 0.6 and 1.0.

 

Note: Stay away from it during options expiration week. This indicator becomes unreliable.

The only indicators I use are a wma and a parabolic sar for forex. I mainly view price,and use the wma for confirmation and sar for hard stop placement (although I don't follow the sar exactly, too obvious for price spikes to take you out). I don't get much fancier than that.

moving averages and pivot points on multiple timeframes:)

I've found having multiple timeframes up at once to be the biggest help to my trading.

Mine are simple: RSI and Bollinger Bands. Love 'em. My systems look for RSI moving up from very low levels, often from below the lower Bollinger Band and crossing over it. Tell me what you think of this site that I just got up and running. The systems I use there all focus on RSI.

 

Would welcome your feedback!

wrleenh is a spammer.

 

Beware. A friend of mine bought his letters and that was only the entry price. The real price was all the losing trades. Like all spammers he can't trade, can't design systems and just takes people for a ride to spammer generated hell.

 

Don't be a fool like my friend and get sucked in ... stay away from these scum!

All of my indicators are custom. I use an equal combination of oscillating and trend type tools and not the kind that clutter up the price action.

Price is always the primary indicator. Also, unlike classic indicators, I write most of my indicators based on identifying reliable patterns and capitalizing on "why" the market is doing what it is.

Mine is simple as they come. A moving average and candlestick patterns. I dont use candlestick patterns as they are taught in books (eg reversals). I use them in a way to trend follow. I did use candles as reversals and getting run over by the train (trend) over and over again isnt really a good feeling. So i figured why not get on the train (trend) instead of getting in front of it and hoping for a reversal. Not to say reversals dont work, they just didnt fit my personality.

my favorite technical indicators for intraday futures are TICK, TRIN, Advance/Decline, Pivot levels, keltner/BB squeeze, volume, volume delta, tape reading and market profile levels.

 

i don't use any lagging indicators on intraday time frame, apart from the BB/Keltner thang which i use sometimes. I use it as much as a filter (to keep me out of low probability trades) as a trading signal in and of itself

 

on daily and longer time frames, I use Macd, BB/keltner

 

i also pay strong attention in my screens to short interest.

Swing trading stocks I use pivots, MP, and good ol basic price (candlesticks) and volume action.

 

If your trading stocks having an ear open to any upcoming company announcements helps....especially if you know directors!

Before I traded using price only, I had a slew of technical indicators, most of which have been mentioned here. Dropping those comfort tools was really a challenge until I overlayed those technical entry signals with the price action signals I learned.

 

What I discovered was that my "old" entries (which usually required multiple confirmations from a variety of indicators) were anywhere from 1/2 to 2 ES points behind the price action triggers. That's a huge difference which I now, in retrospect, view as slippage. That slippage went right into the pockets of the pros who took the other side.

 

In the ultra-competitive game of ES day trading, one can't afford to give that much up and hope to consistently turn a profit.

I LOVE THIS ALSO!!! I use this as my main filter to the felton trading MACD and STOCH indicators that I use for all of my trading. Investor r/t has a very nice charting package imo.

    • Date: 22nd November 2024.   BTC flirts with $100K, Stocks higher, Eurozone PMI signals recession risk.   Asia & European Sessions:   Geopolitical risks are back in the spotlight on fears of escalation in the Ukraine-Russia after Russia reportedly used a new ICBM to retaliate against Ukraine’s use of US and UK made missiles to attack inside Russia. The markets continue to assess the election results as President-elect Trump fills in his cabinet choices, with the key Treasury Secretary spot still open. The Fed’s rate path continues to be debated with a -25 bp December cut seen as 50-50. Earnings season is coming to an end after mixed reports, though AI remains a major driver. Profit taking and rebalancing into year-end are adding to gyrations too. Wall Street rallied, led by the Dow’s 1.06% broadbased pop. The S&P500 advanced 0.53% and the NASDAQ inched up 0.03%. Asian stocks rose after  Nvidia’s rally. Nikkei added 1% to 38,415.32 after the Tokyo inflation data slowed to 2.3% in October from 2.5% in the prior month, reaching its lowest level since January. The rally was also supported by chip-related stocks tracked Nvidia. Overnight-indexed swaps indicate that it’s certain the Reserve Bank of New Zealand will cut its policy rate by 50 basis points on Nov. 27, with a 22% chance of a 75 basis points reduction. European stocks futures climbed even though German Q3 GDP growth revised down to 0.1% q/q from the 0.2% q/q reported initially. Cryptocurrency market has gained approximately $1 trillion since Trump’s victory in the Nov. 5 election. Recent announcement for the SEC boosted cryptos. Chair Gary Gensler will step down on January 20, the day Trump is set to be inaugurated. Gensler has pushed for more protections for crypto investors. MicroStrategy Inc.’s plans to accelerate purchases of the token, and the debut of options on US Bitcoin ETFs also support this rally. Trump’s transition team has begun discussions on the possibility of creating a new White House position focused on digital asset policy.     Financial Markets Performance: The US Dollar recovered overnight and closed at 107.00. Bitcoin currently at 99,300,  flirting with a run toward the 100,000 level. The EURUSD drifts below 1.05, the GBPUSD dips to June’s bottom at 1.2570, while USDJPY rebounded to 154.94. The AUDNZD spiked to 2-year highs amid speculation the RBNZ will cut the official cash rate by more than 50 bps next week. Oil surged 2.12% to $70.46. Gold spiked to 2,697 after escalation alerts between Russia and Ukraine. Heightened geopolitical tensions drove investors toward safe-haven assets. Gold has surged by 30% this year. Haven demand balanced out the pressure from a strong USD following mixed US labor data. Silver rose 0.9% to 31.38, while palladium increased by 0.9% to 1,040.85 per ounce. Platinum remained unchanged. Always trade with strict risk management.
