intraday trading system

 

i wanted to share my intraday trading system with u guys , so here it goes :

2 indicator is needed : one is supersmoother(or any filter with fast smooth response & low lag ) another one is regression analysis indicator (https://www.mql5.com/en/code/10249)

simply add 2 super smoother to chart with periods 10 & 20(*) , these 2 would give pretty much the momentum and trend direction based on close

add 2 regression with periods 40(*) & 80(*) , these 2 are necessary for finding the bigger picture ,market conditions () & range of cycles .

goal is finding a trend in higher time frame and best time to enter

* : u can find tune these periods with dominant cycle by goertzel or autocorrelation periodogram but dont change the 10 period supersmoother

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

example on oil :

1)open the H4

the 80period regression is sideway indicating sup/res at yellow boxes , but 40 period is bearish so we dont have a support but res at upper band  . supersmoothers are inline with 40 period regression .

h1 chart :

h1 is pretty bearish too so maybe it's not really good idea to buy right away at support of reg80 h4 around 45$ . again h1 reg80 showing a possible sell setup at 48$ level (upper band)

m30 chart:


it is a great example , as u can see the 40 & 80 period regression are completely inline with each other but there's bullish sign from supersmoothers ! again price is somehow close to support of h4 . i think in this situations u should never buy  unless you're a super experienced scalper . although price might go up but in my experience price would re test this levels again (it might break too) . one might enter the market with a sell  (cause price is close to upper band of both regressions ) but it's matter of risk/reward ratio .

in this example best setups are sell@48 or @48.80 . for entry signals u can use reversal candle stick patterns or change in the slope of supersmoothers in m15 or m30 chart .

 

market timing tip: it's better to synch your position with market openings

rule: upper band of regressions is an overbought level only in bearish moves and lower band is support (oversold) only in bullish moves.

stop loss : i normally set my stop loss 10 pip higher than the latest extreme which i entered with !

take profit : u can use higher time frame extremes but never close a position when  super smoother 10 is  trending . (u can change in direction of m5 as a exit signal). keep in mind this strategy is for catching trends ! so catch a trend !!

entry tip:  it doesnt matter which signal entry u use but it must be inline with one significant upper time frame trends (h4 for m30 entries or h1 for m15)!

p.s: sometimes higher & lower time frames are trending in opposite direction or u're encountering a large candle . in my opinion stick to the strategy anyway but maybe use tighter stop/loss or exit earlier than usual .

p.p.s: i personally shift the regression one bar to the left just in case !again u can fine tune periods with dominant cycles but it wouldn't help that much when u use 3 time frame for finding trends and sup/res .

one super important note : regression & super smoother are dynamic indicators so check them every bar !

i would post 2 signals tomorrow based on this strategy to see how it works in real time .  

 

here's a good setup for usdchf . almost all time frame are bullish . there's two possible entry for buy : one is @.9700 because of h4 & other one is happenin right know @.9770 . it's seems risky though given that price is close to important high & dollar news coming out . from risk/reward point of view it's close to 1/1 (unless u follow the trend) . i would definitely buy @.9700 but not sure about entering the market right know . again this is supposed to be an example !

 

another perfect example of strategy on CADCHF , long story short:

h4: swingy with a bull bias ,  h1:swingy with short term bull bias m30: bullish

it has a pretty good risk/reward ratio , only concern is reg80 h1 but that's fine cause price has enough bull signs in other time frames . just wait for buy signal @m15 o  @m30 . i talked about synching position with market timing , this a good example of it . right know we are in london session and this pair is bullish from start of today session !

p.s: there's a news coming out for CAD 1 hour from now so be cautious

 
 An other extra income/earning company established.
 

i decided to post an example for fine tuning the periods with dominant cycle (without goertzel or autocorrelation) .

this h1 chart for usdsgd . there are 3 major moves influencing the market (i'm just talking about h1) periods are 60 bearish- 120 bullish - 210 bearish . so clearly dominant cycle is either 60 or 30 (both of them are fine )! simple as that ! then i set periods for regression analysis and super smoother . keep in mind i shift regressions 2 candle to the left because news came out in this bars and i wanted to show u how this setup would look like before this crazy swings would happen ! as u can seel all three of them are bearish so the upper band is good time to sell !

followin picture is what i would be look like if u use default periods (20/40/80)

of curse tuned version looks better but with default periods u're still on "right side" of market  & that's all that matters

p.s: regression indicator tries to fit the best regression mode for data, because of that normally there's not much difference between small period changes

Big system you have there, nothing for newbies, I guess,  and it needs longer forward testing to understand.

not really ... one can find exact same levels based on price action support/resistance zones (or fibonacci) as regression upper/lower bands almost always point to them!as far as entry goes just buy on support levels when longer period trend is bullish & vice versa . i chose this  indicators to find sup/res quickly with little bit of price momentum & channeling .
 

today's opportunities :


 

i just remembered something , it's kinda seems obvious but, in case of using cycles for setting indicator's periods  ,  u have to update the period for regression indicator !! doesn't mean u have to add one 1 period every candle but maybe do that every 4plus candle .

i got stopped  in gbpusd(-20) but usdchf(+20) is going well . there was "somehow okay" buy position @eurgbp m30** i didn't take . pretty good sell position at oil h1 before news release (i dont trade oil so ) & buy chfcad m30 too (of course news could go either way)

 maybe it's not bad to use pending orders cause it gives really good risk reward ratio & tight stops ! **or enter the market even though larger regression is against the shorter period regression especially when supersmoothers 10&20 are confirming it too. this means taking more position & spreads !

 

how to help goertzel browser + finding dominant cycle !

it's super easy , find tops & bottoms of market yourself . measure the number of bars between them . then set the max num cycle of indicator based on that . in the following example market trends never lasted more than 100 cycle so ! can u see the difference ? dominant cycle is right there , use it(or half) for tuning ur indicators , for example in the eurgbp m30 dominant cycle is 60 & i used 30 for super smoother(red). looks good to me ! another thing , u can use higher bartel test for cycles to remove some of them (more than 60 , default is 50).

eurgbp m30 before

after


gold m30 before :


after :

p.s: read cycles carefully , making a bottom doesn't mean buy opportunity !!
