Hello. When trading a 'close and reverse' system, as far as signal generation goes, what is your preferred method for handling a 'close and reverse' signal within the same bar? I have highlighted a few examples of when this would happen using the trailing red line as an example for generating...

Yes that's it. Ratio = Long position as the numerator and the Short as the denominator. The issue I was raising was more that, despite the ratio being managed manually via Excel or a bespoke piece of software, the reality is that brokers don't facilitate spread trading in this way and so you...

"In most spread trades you will have one winning position and one losing position. " Exactly. And what the poster above said was that as soon as the losing position reaches it's stop loss, then you close you spread trade (or ratio trade) entirely (both your winner and loser). So you could never...

That's interesting and perhaps contradictory to the method he teaches regarding intra-sector spreads because on the one hand, he says that you can hedge out both market risk and sector risk by taking a Long/Short position in the same sector (e.g. Long LLOY/Short HSBA). On the other hand, when...

To anybody who has taken the course, what was said about how to place stop losses when trading a spread/ratio?

Hello I am looking to better understand why when I zoom from a 1 year, daily chart down to a 1 month, 2 hour chart, the EMA/SMA changes. For example, the 20 day EMA can be above the 120 day EMA on the 1 year, daily chart although after switching to the 1 month, 2 hour chart, the 20 day EMA is...

Thanks Bill. I will take a look.

The Hare, that makes much more sense now. Thank you. So if I am looking to place a trade based upon an RSI for timing, which RSI reading should I use? e.g. 1 day RSI might be 32, 1 week RSI 41, 3 month RSI 65 etc Thanks for your help

Hi. I've also got a basic question about RSI if anybody can help please? I look for RSI over a 14 day period as standard. What confuses me is that RSI can be very different over a 1 day chart, 5 day chart, 1 month chart, 3, 6 and 9 month chart. Can somebody explain why please? Thanks
