sbaxman111,

With a few manual calculations I've arrived at your 7 hypothetical trades - or at least the EOD entry points.  If you would, please explain your exit strategy using the %BB.  If one exits after the %BB moves back across the .50 level (on the Daily chart) a pretty good system could develop, but a trailing stop would also help - as in the case of the April 30th to the May 5th trade.  Perhaps that's where you are using the 60 chart?  This whole practice is a great example of waiting for extremes.  Hopefully, one would be in a trade while volatility decreases and difference between the 9ema and the Daily close becomes less than the 1.4% benchmark.

Sounds very interesting - great post!  How were you able to do the calculations?  Is there a way to use StockCharts to do that work?

Thanks.

Just wanted you to know that I think this format is EXCELLENT!  Thank you for using it because it cetainly allows you to emphasize things where needed.  Please use it as often as you can.

darnelds - interesting use of a VERY fast MA pair for 60-minute chart.  How do you manage the whipsaws with that strategy?

I've been using a 5/13 ema pair in conjunction with a manually drawn trendline on the SPX and I still get whipped occassionally.

However, it looks like a very good call to get into TNA.

As robo3 indicated, once I scrolled down to item 41 (at the end of the newsletter) the audio "came alive".

I didn't get the audio either - from the email or on this site underNewsletters.

I too would encourage you to consider releasing this as an intraday system.  You could also try it for a period of time.  I'll guess that you'll not have many first-time ES traders to deal with which would make the launch go easier.

Thanks.

You may want to look at UPRO and SPXU since they have MUCH greater volume than BXUB - probably because they've been around a little longer.  Any particular reason one would/should favor the Barclay's product?

FAZ 5 min chart showed some neg D on the MACD and the Sto(14) crossed up - both around 10am.  I know you'll be sensitive to whatever reaction occurs from the FED announcement - perhaps that's your bailout point for the day trade.

This format is great - thanks!  You mentioned before that it takes more time to prepare so I appreciate it - it really does help in "pointing" things out better.

Nice tip - Thanks.

Stockcharts has it with the slash.  Great looking setup from a 60 minute chart too.  Lends itself to trendline trading as the trigger - nothing fancy.  Did you pick up your calls from another technical trigger or just the news about the upcoming decision?  Thanks.

Good chart.  How can this index best be used?  Are there some shippers or an ETF that correlates well with it?

Thanks.

Great chart.  Do you trade from this or a shorter timeframe?  How about its influence with ERX & ERY?

Thanks - Jim

I found it difficult to trade from his recommendations of Buys & Sells.  Over the last 5 years I would subscribe for a 6-9 month period at which time I would bail out.  His marketing and testimonials sound great though (I'm still on his mailing list).  Sometimes I thought it would be better just to use a daily chart with a 7/21 ema!  That's why I'm here with BPT - they give you an ANALYSIS.

I like the first chart of the 4minute ES - but I have a question regarding the dotted lines a 9:46 and 11:58.  Is there another component in your system that generates the lines?  The RSI and MACD crossed up around 9:24 - 9:25 but that didn't trigger the printing of the dotted lines - which I assume to be BUY triggers.  My own work would have given a trigger of the break of the "plain-old Trend Line" four minutes later.  This is no big deal but I would just like to understand the system you've got here.    The MACD cross at approx 10:48 is pretty awesome but it's not highlighted - only at 11:58 which is still a great confirmation.

Thanks.  Jim

Nice chart - lots of indicators.  What will be your trigger - or combination of things to be the trigger?

Which particular indicators or techniques are you making this judgement from? and what timeframe is your chart?

Thanks.
