one of my fav setups

    one of my favorite trading setups, I look for these on multiple time frames

    the example I'm showing on a 3 min MES chart where I took a short on earlier, but again the setup is fractal meaning it sets up on a 5 min, 15 min, 60 min, daily, whatever

    this setup had everything lining up for a short:

    Conditions for setup: MACD KISS/Stochastic overbought setup, along with a 1st pinch/squeeze on the MA ribbon. You also had the 60 Stochastic testing underside of 50%

    for these setups you get your trigger not off the indicators; remember the indicators are to alert you to look for a trigger off of the price candles. In this case your trigger was 1 tick below that doji and you would have placed an immediate stop 1 tick above that doji for a tight entry and stop. Profit targets can either be a ratio of risk/reward: for example a 1:1, or a 1:3 meaning you calculate your target based on the point value of your stop: so if your stop was was 3 points from entry, then a 1:1 would be a target of 3 points, a 3: 1 would be a target of 9 points etc . Anohter target in this case would be simply when the fast 5 length Stochastic got oversold

    Matt, if we don't have

    Matt, if we don't have the BPT MA Deluxe, what ribbon do you reccommend for the pinch?

    first off you can view

    first off you can view it from those live charts I post, will show for you but obviously you can't then use it for other personal charts

    Try a very fast responding moving average such as a jurik zero lag MA (that's pretty much what my BPT MA mirrors), http://jurikres.com/catalog1/ms_ama.htm 

    you can get close with a Hull type of MA, I'm using a 15 or 21 MA length typically and it's set to turn red and green by the slope. My BPT MA I'm using a Hull type MA that is further modified with an EMA, etc 

    again some Hull or Jurik will get you close enough. I wouldn't pay for Jurik this day and age, you can find plenty of free stuff that's close enough
