JB'S MACD / RSI Daily Bar Check-out

[Batcheler]

Hi JB here. I noticed how hot MACD(912.26) RSI(60) is. on anything 5Min to Daily bar. Anyone else with such find on any threads out there?

But it's the MACD with oscillator on c*m*s platform. No not a Rep am just here like you looking. So hope this thread isn't torn down because this looks hot. Just saying what chart platform so we have initial basis of agreement on what chart/math I'm looking at. Besides their demo platform is indefinately free so I've used it all along without having to do biz there so that should satisfy the purity of said forum

Yep I'm the poor bloke with 15000 visitors thrashing thru "eNNya's" hopes LOL Arriving at some pure TA thing is a bit of surprise for me although underneath it all don't we all wish such for self others here? So I put up this thread temporarily in order to garner lookingness support not sure I can do this alone. Some have already chatted with me by email said although they see it chart-wise they've learned back-testing is the order of the day. I can't agree more but when I keep looking at the simple basic "slight tilt of any sort in RSI(60) MACD-oscillator on increase after crossing" see its good on everything 5Min to Day bars Whewwwwaaaa!!!! So am I getting delusional here or what people? Was a bit maybe with eNNya neural-nets but it's a long ways off for her or "SoNNya" brs to come to any conclusion there yet as I'm trying to get Hurst-TA into my earlier TD software as well as checking out better trend holding RSI'd eNNya-Ib so hope isn't dashed there by long shot just month of May put a real damper on her style! lol

But even this simple MACD with 2 minis 1K on account would have accumulated $300 5/12 to now [eNNya lost $220 so far](20% risk money management because when the conditions are met I'm not sure I see any scenarios where it's not in a trend!)

So if you haven't gotten their software/platform/chart deal yet go there get install. Set general properties to 2000 bars go to Daily bars right-click chart select straqight "MACD". (even though says "MACD" straight like that it's with an "oscillator" that seems to show rate of accumulation of area between red & blue MA). So strategy isssssssssss: (drum eroll please! lol )

BY the way if this is wrong-headed screwier than eNNya I rapidly bring down this thread! THank you! )

Look where oscillator bars are increasing or decreasing after crossings. It would be pure after crossings for retracements probably the crossing or both red/blue slightly above or below zero for trade entries cfondition. If at that point RSI(60) [oh yea insert RSI change properties 14 to 60] the RSI also goes in same direction as the MACD (it need be also of slight slant) then that's a trade entry. Exit is next reverse crossings or trail_stop if it happens first (set trailings on platform I may use my fxcm as I have accouint there).

Need troopers out there on these 4 majors mostly on EurUsd at first but we could do this as joint s someone to major in USDCHF someone else USDJPY etc. So let's start look over the past of 2000 bars of EurUsd tell me if you see otherwise. There no doubt will be the rare occassion think a 40 pip stop should do it on these rare moments of Daily Bars. 'Cause I'm tellin' ya folks sure seems like a natural fundamental law here rather than impose on some of my comm-lines that I shared the 5Min-bar version with them I want to get feedback progress as a group on this in Day Bars manner. So any takers or dart-throwing doubters welcome we need this proofed-up or ditched ASAP!

Currently no trade to enter on EurUsd. I close any trades on my fxcm in favor of any MACD-RSI set-ups (i.e. getting close to a trade for opening one) do only paper-test for eNNya research.

Was starting to relaxedly lay down read my new book "Freakonomics" amazon for my holiday weekend enjoyment noticed I missed USDJPY set-up since was out eating but noticed USDCHF about to take. Boom the slants were there as described (talkin' 5Min of course) enterred trade wasn't but a few bars only a page read book I captured the 11 pips before it further wavered around. Boom today's doggily pip duty done! You see folks? A little time a day four major charts up check it once in awhile 200 pips per month is double your money every 5 months can't be all bad this way! LOL

Hmmmm awfully quiet at this new thread for such a major find! LOL
Anyhoo have nice BBQ blessing thoughts for those that gave the most for this country!

Here is snipurl to get here fast!: http://snipurl.com/jbsmacd

I'm planning on Sigs right after 5pmEST of Daily bars for this macd-rsi strategy. Thing is since lots of time no trades are one in (yoda speech maybe see star wars again today! lol) that probably means you see nothing here if 15 minutes passed no post of a trade then it's no trade or no change to trade already in. OK? I might make some commentary time to time about the "macd may be getting close to a set-up" or "make sure your trail_stop is set right to catch the best amount of pips if...." but otherwise it be quiet here EXCEPT this thread can also serve to learn to do the 5Min bar macd-rsi as mentioned in above posts. Guess it won't be a problem with whom I have thus far confided in this strategy as they were merely prospects for automating which may eventually be in the works.

OK happy memorial day to you all!

Ohhhhh before I forget let's clarify the strategy so folks get it bit by bit absorption:

1) For a Buy entry: If red & blue MA lines of macd(91226) are above zero a wee bit the oscillator is near .0001 (EurUsd don't know what it is other ps but it's eyeballable!) the edge is still in upward motion slightly even same for RSI(60) at that bar (slightly up) then it's a buy trade!

2) For Sell entry: If red & blue MA lines of macd(91226) are below zero a wee bit the oscillator is near -.0001 (EurUsd don't know what it is other ps but it's eyeballable!) the edge is still in downward motion slightly even same for RSI(60) at that bar (slightly down) then it's a sell trade!

3) There is also the sell retracement trades to enter: If after the crossings the reverse is true of the oscillator hump (front-edge is going in opposite direction near -.0001 for sell retracement +.0001 for positive retracement with some directional slant greater than zero) then you have a retracement trade entry!

4) Set a trail_stop mentally or for real on your platform. If it occurs before the crossing then that's it otherwise close trade at the crossing.

I've done tick-bars 5Min Daily study of chart eyeball trade-wise in past couple of days it seems surefire but if someone can prove otherwise be glad to trash this thread re-study anew I'm merely sharing for mutual study mutual learning gain not trying to be an already learned gnome or some book or holy grail.

That's it works like a charm if you peer strong enough at charts train your mind/eye/trade-puching-fingers enough to get here. Hope you see it.
Be glad to help if you can't. Hope someone can post eventually to seeing it then post to demo-ing it.....then as I did yesterday post for money wins!!

I currently use a very similar MACD/RSI strategy to the one you described however I am looking more for reversals. I have noticed a tendency for the weekly price to have at least one if not more major swings an oversold to overbought (or vice versa). I monitor the fundamentals also the MA's (5/20) to get a clue for direction. Use the MACD cross to confirm the buy. Use trail stops keep it tight when the price gets to overbrought (oversold) situation. The money management part still needs some tweaking. It worked exceptionally well up until the EUR started really tanking a few weeks ago. I know this needs a lot more refinement but I think its definetly something. I also try use a quick scalping strategy on the 5 min which may have some potential.

hi knocks420 when attempting in afternoon yesterday I had a couple 3 pip losses so am equity-wise back to zero. But in looking at charts during movements in early part of morning I see what I did wrong! It's foolish to presume one can suck blood out of a turnip (i.e. afternoon dead market time) so I think this has to be one of the rules before starting-up a 5Min bar scalping market needs had moved some decent degree then a slanted macd oscilator plus rsi slanted same says "there's power there babe!" lol

Weekly wow that's way out there knocks seems just in thought that any system you'd have to have a big enough account to hle the risk-money-management as the swing during a week can cut into it bad such a system would not be so good on annual returns. Think the pro concensus is the smaller tye periodicty system the more pip gain per month can be had until you start gettin' into 5Min shorter where system vs. pip-spread is another battle that enters the arena. Just my thoughts for it's 2 cents worth.

Just did it for 15 mins this 3:25amPST did it in 3 bites 5 3 3. Seems a bit wavery so each time didn't want to over-step my luck. But ultimately got my daily dosage. First looked saw the few bars of a downtrend so seeing that looked for minus slant on macd oscillator rsi. Each time going for a scalp bite afterwards downtrend action didn't stop so I went back in. I think the waveryness is the back-'n-forth tug of all the thouss of other scalpers no doubt. I use 10 pip stop_loss so worse could happen is with surprise splash one losses for yesterday too.

I have an expert that uses a method similar to that. It has worked extremely well for me over the past 2 weeks.

are you refering to 5Min scalping or longer periodicties? can you share more on that? thx for your inputs tntrader.
