The Moving Average Crossover Strategy - How to choose the best?Hey there! Well, this is not a trading idea actually. I just want to present my new tool to the community. This tool will help you to choose a type of moving average to create the most profitable trading system based on crossovers. Click on the price scale, point to "Labels" and switch off "No Overlapping Labels" option to get a better view. Detailed description can be found here . I repeat NOTE: The results may vary on different tickers and timeframes. If you see the preview result it doesn't mean that these crossovers will be profitable on other instruments and timeframes. This is a normal situation because time series and their characteristics differ. I know that because I tested this tool before publishing. NOTE 2: You can use this tool by yourself and experiment with it, or you can order a study and I will share the spreadsheet that contains results. PM me for more details. Good luck and happy trading!

The indicator entered us short BTC/USD, where do we get out?The daily short setup the indicator gave us in our last Bitcoin idea triggered a short trade which we are still in (3). It’s the first trade the indicator entered us in since the end of August on bitcoin. The trade setups (1) and (2) missed the trigger level by just a tick. You may have been triggered here, in that case you took two small losses of less than 2%, which is reasonable :) Now let’s look at managing this short trade: finding areas of interest and looking for the indicator signals at those levels. First of all, the indicator hasn't shown any exhaustion signals, so we should be still good on momentum to the downside. However, we've dropped violently and are reaching a support zone which I’ve talked about before (4). It’s the area between 5000 and 4500, taken from the untested high of September last year. What we look for are exhaustion signals in or around that area, and reversal candles. According to the strategy we tighten the stop loss when we see those. The indicator still shows the technical stop loss at (5), but as the move down was quite violent, and the candles being quite overextended it’s smart to move the stop down to either swing high (6) or if you;re even more cautious to the middle of todays big candle (7). Remember, you can always re-enter a position, managing the risk is more important than exiting at the absolute maximum profit. The indicator plotted a new short setup (8) which was triggered today. It’s not a trade I took, as I was in short already, but it is a signal, which definitely could have been taken. The stop loss for that entry is at the prior swing high (6). From here a number of things can happen, and although there are differences in probabilities, we have to keep in mind that markets are inherently unpredictable . The mindset of a trader should not be having a scenario or prediction of what may happen, and hoping that that scenario will come true (or holding on to that prediction for dear life...). Rather, you should want be mindful of the different scenarios, and have a game plan for all of them. Every new candle gives you new information to base your decision on, use it! In this case we have an area which we suspect the market should reach. But again, anything can happen so here’s the plan: If we go down the the support level (4), we wait for the indicator to signal overextension and look for reversal candles to lower the stop loss to the top of the candle (as per the strategy). Then we re-evaluate and wait for the market and indicator to show us a new trade. If the market reaches (4) but crashes through, we’ll still be in the short. We’ll move the stop loss down according to the levels the indicator plots. And perhaps we will get a re-entry signal on the way down to reinforce the position. If the markets decides to reverse from here we have our stop loss at either (6) or (7). We’ll be stopped out, and re-evaluate, waiting for the indicator to show us new trade opportunities. If we move sideways, same thing: we either get stopped out and re-evaluate, or we remain in our short until the market hits our stop loss or moves down to the support area. We have our plan set out, so now it’s the market turn to make it’s move… Like and subscribe if you enjoy our work!

BCH trading plan continues - Waiting for the indicator signalsHi Traders, Continuing our BCASH trade from a few posts ago. We exited at the red lines,as the indicator overextension signal and stop loss told us. With some nice profit of 45% from the exit off the overextension signal, and 40% at the trailing stop level. This gives some nice room for the next trade on BCH. We discovered bearish divergence as price moves up (1) and momentum slightly downwards, but definitely not up (2). This divergence really only becomes apparent at (3) when price break through the stop loss and see that the previous high was divergent. This does not help us getting out, but that’s ok, we have other metrics for that. It does however tell us that on this chart, the trend may have ended, and that the following long setup probably won’t get triggered. What we do is keep the breakout level of the setup at the highest level that it plots (and don’t move it down as the indicator plots a lower trend breakout level).This is so you ensure not getting faked into the trade and the trend fails to develop. The divergence also tells us that the the bearish setup will have momentum on its side. We look to enter short, but we need to get a setup, and an entry trigger from the indicator! Daily The daily hasn’t signalled a long setup yet, which I expected the indicator to do.. it will probably come in the next few candles though. So we have a similar game plan we have with XRP: we took the 4HR trend into a daily trend setup. We now wait for either a daily long setup and that setup to be triggered. Or we get a 4HR short setup which gets triggered. Either way the market moves, we’re in it, ready to profit.. And to be honest, I could not care less which way it moves :) If you want to try our indicator out, follow us and drop a comment and we’ll get you set up. Like and subscribe if you enjoy our work!

Awaiting Re-entry signal on XRP/USDWe exited our previous XRP trade yesterday with a 18% profit, now we're looking to re-enter long on a re-entry signal (if it comes..). The previous trade was entered from a 4HR setup and break of the trend breakout level (1), and exited off a weak overextension signal (2) and the following candle's forming hammer off resistance. Looking for a re-entry signal to re-enter the 4HR trend, ideally around (3) which is around the daily kumo. If we get the signal (just like at (5)), we place a conditional entry order just above that candle (or the candle before that, depending on price action). The blue line at (6) is the re-entry level. First target resistance is the same resistance as last trade at (4). Daily Daily chart is on a kumo breakout, but no trend setup yet. If we get a rejection from the daily kumo we will most likely get a clean re-entry signal on the 4 HR That's the plan, set alerts, and close the charts :) To get access to the indicator and try it out, please go here: Like and subscribe if you enjoy our work!

A Checklist Rating System For TradingI have developed a trading system for myself that lets me know if a buy is good, or average so I can manage my risk. I have ranked what I believe to be the most important technical indicators in addition to signals form the Ichimoku Cloud. A top score would be if it adds up to 35 - 46. You can play around with changing some of the numbers if the validity doesn't seem to add up for a trade. See link below. Message me if you'd like to have the spreadsheet that will autofill and tell you if it's a high or low scoring buy according to these indicators. See link below for image. tdmss.com
