This thread will record my testing of a simple strategy, taking trades after a bounce off a 21SMA, 60M.

Whilst the bounce is the signal to take notice, the strategy also relies heavily upon reading PA and SR.

In the trade shown below, taken Friday, we have a bounce off the 21SMA (blue arrow), a good up trend (higher highs, higher lows), and no resistance at/ near entry.

The +2% TP was reached.

I have no idea if this strategy will deliver an edge.........more live trades testing this simple strategy starting next week.

How will you cope with sideways price action - have you looked at old charts?
Good luck and look forward to following your journey(y)

As an aside -it seems that price bounce off 21ma was also a bounce off Resistance turned to support

Neil, thanks

I dont trade sideways markets. I use a 60M to determine what is, is not a sideways market, by interpreting pivot highs and lows.

Re: 21sma

Nice one jungles. I use a EMA 20, but for the sideways markets, I use S/R levels drawn from past events.

Simplify the trade.

Re: 21sma

Jungles,
You might try adding an 84sma to your chart. It will give you the bias of the 4H t/f as well. I am posting a chart that has the 504 on it. It is absolutely amazing how pa reacts around these 3 sma's. Check it out and see what you think. Will help with ranging markets, as well as give you the 1h, 4h, and daily bias on the same chart. Where you go from here is up to you. Bear in mind that all of the sma's are multiples of 21, which is a Fibonacci number.

Re: 21sma

An encouraging first 5 days data collection. But the test, for me at least, is always consistency across time; 6 to 12mths preferably!

All trades posted live here at the thread.

*wont be trading this system on NFP day
