ADP will probably pop this baby.

 

Hi Mysticforex,

Your chart shows a nice flag BUT with lots of higher highs and higher lows,so a breakout

short could fail.

So we add another RULE.Wait for lower lows to go short.Even though the trend is down.

regards

For beginners? I like the idea. Not sure if there is a "system" that a beginner would really follow, due to lack of discipline, greed/fear factor, and maybe even laziness? Easy come, easy go.

 

But generally, a simple system or rather a strategy, could be created.

 

Since here we started with breakout method, my input is:

 

1. Breakout of significant range (or let's say opening range, or the 1st hour range, etc),

2. Wait for the retest of 20EMA (it doesn't much matter 20, or 21 if one likes fib. numbers, or even 20SMA).

3. Entry below (+1 + spread) the bar that retests 20EMA, SL above (+1 +spread) - for shorts. Reverse for longs. After 1:1 is obtained, bring SL to B/E.

4. For M5 TF maybe 1:1.5 is enough. Or target could be the nearest SR (i.e.: Round Number or pivot, or previous day's H/L).

5. 2-3 trades maximum to prevent revenge trading.

6. Options: Close all, scale out of half, half trail with 8EMA, etc, but that's trade management.

 

Quite simple, not every day there will be a trade (unless one "forces it"), not every trade will be a winner.

 

It is better to confirm the entry in the direction with daily TF. Not just "with trend on D1", but also for example: if daily comes near significant resistance, better not take longs, but watch for shorts.

But that's maybe too complex for "simple" strategy?

Stopped out. Came within 2 pips of TP ( Figure at least 2 pip spread, I currently have 1.2 ).

4 trades: 3 winners, 1 loser, net: 50 pips.

 

No trade tomorrow. Good Friday and NFP.

 

Someone up up with a simple system for next week.

Ok, since no one else is stepping up, here's another.

 

3 indi's 200 sma, 62 ema and full stochastic 30,10,10.

 

On this chart price is clearly trending down. Wait for a bounce and the stoch to go into overbought. When it comes out of overbought, trade with the trend ( short ). Hopefully stoch will continue down into oversold. When it comes out of oversold, exit.

Stop would be just above most recent high. In this case 12966. Trade opened @ 12934 and exit would have been 12884 +50 pips.

 

This trade was a few hours ago. I missed it, still sleeping. I will look for a live example.

 

EDIT: The only reason we have the 2 MAs is for a visual representation of trend.

One system that I use that is extremely useful for beginners as it is very simple to use is the valuecharts indicators. They can alert you when a market is over or under valued. You also look for an MACD that is showing lower highs (for a sell) or higher highs (for a buy). If you have a higher high pattern then you buy at a undervalued price point and sell at an over valued price point. If you have a lower high pattern then you sell at overvalued and buy at undervalued.

 

This works really well for trading forex, I normally look for a trend in the daily/weekly chart then go into an intraday chart to find the value level for entering. Valuecharts are really great at helping you lower your risk exposure and the company MicroQuant also hosts free training webinars.

 

I think they are available on NinjaTrader, TradeStation, MultiCharts and Bloomberg. I know they offer a free trial for the indicators as well as training webinars

 

Hope this helps!

    • Date: 14th February 2025.   Can The NASDAQ Maintain Momentum at Key Resistance Level?     The price of the NASDAQ throughout the week rose more than 3.00% to bring the price back up to the instrument’s resistance level. However, while taking into consideration higher inflation, tariffs and the resistance level, could the index maintain momentum?   US Inflation Rises For a 4th Consecutive Month The US Consumer Price Index, or inflation, rose for a 4th consecutive month taking the rate even further away from the Federal Reserve’s target. Analysts were expecting the US inflation rate to remain unchanged at 2.9%. However, consumer inflation rose to 3.00%, the highest since July 2024, while Producer inflation rose to 3.5%. Higher inflation traditionally triggers lower sentiment towards the stock market as investors' risk appetite falls and they prefer the US Dollar. However, on this occasion bullish volatility rose. For this reason, some traders may be considering if the price is overbought in the short term.   Addressing these statistics, US Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell acknowledged that the Fed has yet to achieve its goal of curbing inflation, adding further hawkish signals regarding the monetary policy. Other members of the FOMC also share this view. Today, Raphael Bostic, President of the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta, stated that the Fed is unlikely to implement interest rate cuts in the near future. This is due to ongoing economic uncertainty following the introduction of trade tariffs on imported goods and other policies from the Republican-led White House.   Most of the Federal Open Market Committee emphasizes additional time is needed to fully assess the situation. According to the Chicago Exchange FedWatch Tool, interest rate cuts may not start until September 2025.   What’s Driving The NASDAQ Higher? Earnings data this week has continued to support the NASDAQ. Early this morning Airbnb made public their quarterly earnings report whereby they beat both earnings per share and revenue expectations. The Earnings Per Share read 25% higher than expectations and Revenue was more than 2% higher. As a result, the stock rose more than 14%. Another company this week that made public positive earnings data is Cisco which rose by more than 2% on Thursday. Another positive factor continues to be the positive employment data. Even though the positive employment data can push back interest rate cuts, the stability in the short term continues to serve the interests of higher consumer demand. The US Unemployment Rate fell to 4.00% the lowest in 8 months. Lastly, investors are also increasing their exposure to the index due to sellers not being able to maintain control or momentum. Some economists also increase their confidence in economic growth if Trump can obtain a positive outcome from the Ukraine-Russia negotiations.   However, during Friday’s pre-US session trading, 80% of the most influential stocks are witnessing a decline. The NASDAQ itself is trading more or less unchanged. Therefore, the question again arises as to whether the NASDAQ can maintain momentum above this area.   NASDAQ - News and Technical analysis In terms of technical analysis, the NASDAQ is largely witnessing mainly bullish indications on the 2-hour chart. However, the main concern for traders is the resistance level at $21,960. On the 5-minute timeframe, the price is mainly experiencing bearish signals as the price moves below the 200-period simple moving average.   The VIX, which is largely used as a risk indicator, is currently trading 0.75% higher which indicates a lower risk appetite. In addition to this, bond yields trade 6 points higher. If both the VIX and Bond yields rise further, further pressure may be witnessed for index traders.   Always trade with strict risk management.
