How is everyone doing?

From the experience that I have had is that most times that by the time the MACD is crossed the SS is already changed and crossed in your favor and it doesnt matter if it has closed above the ema as long as it has broken it in your favor and you can see distinct seperation. I think that on the...

SPYDER does not have an option to insert a stop so once I get to or fall below my +1 mark I should be out. If the trade starts to come back in my favor should I get back in or just wait for another setup? I feel like I am chasing it at that point. Thanks everyone for there replies. The more the...

I have been anticipating the MACD on the 9 min. It is touching but not crossed and a separation can not be seen. Learned a big lesson, do no anticipate, follow the rules. The strategy works great when rules are followed 100%. Thanks Bashir.

I am trading SPY and there are no stops. Should I cover my positions the same way that you have your stops set up?

I am trading manually. I am using the 9 min, 2 min, and 89 tick charts.

Thanks Jay, any info is great. Thank you for the input!

Is there just some days where the strategy does not work???? I have had a few days where things set up and then I enter and and it rips the other way. I know its not the crystal ball to trading but is there a way to know that I should just sit on the sidelines for the day?

Slow on the 2 min

I have a short set up with all my charts lining up except the slow sch. It is just over sold. In this case this would not be a good trade to get into?

Thanks so much. I think what you just explained is what seperates 80/20 statistic of day traders.

Hey Bashir, It seems like by the time I get the 9 min MACD on my side I have missed the move. Also, should I be exiting with the 2 min slow> It seems like when it flattens a change in direction starts?

Good luck with the lady Bash!

Thanks Bashir! Im trying to get better at manual trading. Once I can show profits for that I will use the auto as well. So I am no longer going to use my 3 min MACD to setup a trade manually. I will wait for my 10 min slow to show on my side as well as 2min MACD to cross to my side and enter on...

Hi Bashir, This morning at around 11:15 EST you entered a long. My 1 min slow stoch was over bought along with the 10 and 30min. The only indication I saw line up was the 3 min slow and macd. It was a great trade, what was I missing. I am trading SPY.
