I have been trying to develop a system for some time now.
I have been experimenting with Ichimuku to simple ema cross over to very complex systems like Kwikpop and other recommended systems by friends and well wishers. Somehow, when i back tested them, all system gave beautiful results. Very high strike rate for most system. But when it came to execution of these systems, things fell flat on the face.
The problem was not with the systems. It was with myself. Unless i developed a system i can fully rely on, i wont be able to feel the comfortable holding on to a trade. There will always be fear or greed or hope. I cant dehuman myself. Then the only way out is to keep it simple and stupid. Something that i can trade without thinking.
System tells me loud and clear with blue bars to buy and with red bars to sell and tells me where to place my stoploss. So all i have to do is go through the motion of trade like a machine and law of average will take care of the profit. No discretion - no brain work.
My system
Its a trend following system. Its built on ema of 5,13,21,34,55 and 89. They are the Fibonacci numbers that play a very vital role on our trading life. These ema form the cloud that tells me if the trend is bullish or bearish.
I have plotted at 25 ema of the HIGH and LOW and this acts as my entry trigger and my stoploss.
If prices trade above the 89 ema (of the close) then it's considered bullish and conversely, if it trades below the 89 ema then its bearish.
The rules are :
ENTRY
LONG : close of the bar is above the band and above 89 ema.
Trailing Stoploss : lower band or 89 ema (if you are in deep profit and you want to ride the whole trend.)
Target : ride till stoploss is hit.
Visual indication : The cloud is blue and the bar is blue.
SHORT : close of the bar is below the band and below 89 ema.
Trailing Stoploss : upper band or 89 ema (if you are in deep profit and you want to ride the whole trend.)
Target : ride till stoploss is hit.
Visual indication : The cloud is red and the bar is red.
Time frame : any time frame. I prefer 2 min.
