JETS ETF follow up target hit

    Posted by matt on 24th of Mar 2020 at 10:44 am

    JETS - Chart Link - triggered last week over the doji, by the system you would have stayed in because your initial stop goes at the low of the doji's on those, anyway tagging 9 EMA

    TRUE, but original entry on

    TRUE, but original entry on doji above was a loss.

    this one from Mar 17th

    this one from Mar 17th right? okay so you would have stopped out on the opening of the next day, then triggered again, and made that up.  You do the trade again if it sets up, that's how trading is

    When Steve and I did those market webinar's years ago showing symmetry and some triggers off dojis - there were multiple times you might have triggered in a case, then stopped out, and you then triggered later after a second one. that's life

    for sure, thanks for explaining.

    for sure, thanks for explaining. My 1st year mulligan. I think I got caught in the mrkt gap down and let it ride below the stop. MY ERROR.

    listen man trading is tough, and very very emotional especially in this environment, trust me I've made every mistake in the book, we all have. 

    I posted those examples not to bug you, it's more for others and all of us really. That specific type of reversion to mean trades MUST be traded very methodically for it to work in the long run, that meas a well defined doji on the daily, and 60 min MACD divergence, if you don't have the 60 min MACD divergence you ignore. Trigger on the daily is 1 penny above the doji high, stop is 1 penny below the doji low, which you have to adhere to. I take 50% off at the 5 EMA then more off at the 9 EMA.  If I'm stopped out I will do the setup again even on the same stock if the setup appears again.  The rules on these type of trades have to be followed to a tee since they are not typically big running trades, mostly bounce back to the 9 EMA's.  Most will work out but you will the occasional stop out or two but if the rules are followed to a tee the stats will work out in the long run

    I thought I had a webpage on these, I have one on ES futures though, basically the same thing really, don't bother focusing on the MACD BB indicator, can't use that on STockcharts

    here's an example of the CCI reversion to mean setup trade EQT, you stop out on the original, then it sets up and you do it again

    and sometimes you get multiple setups that don't trigger but you keep watching and one finally goes like this second one

    and hopefully most of time hey are easy like MIK and DATK one and done

    trading is like that not just on these type of setups, but you might draw a trendline or a pattern, trigger and get stopped out, then re draw the pattern after it fleshes out and you try a second trigger after you've re dawn it and get a trigger

    anyway it sucks, crap like that happens from time to time,

    ah yes you are correct
