dear rh669 i am taking about days like today as we r positional short in hourly so we look for contra in 5m but today in 5m it gives 5 times buy signal how to overcome that
1) by using big filter like u use (10)
2) by using any other indicator or filter to avoid that particular false buy signal
3) or some other suggestion u prefer
hope i am not bothering u as i am trying to make a trading system using scrathes and also if u prefer good name of ur plz..........
My set up is a bit different, I do get multiple Buy/Sell signals but all are not triggered!! Days like today make a trading account bleed... but cant be helped, all part of the game!!
I myslef am a long way to finalise a system, I find its a good idea to move to lower tie frame for Intraday contra move, but have not been able to pinpoint EXIT strategy!! There are days when intraday moves in our direction by almost 50+ points and then exitsat meagre 10/15 points or even NPNL! And on a day you exit with 20 points, you find that it continues unabated and reverse the positional also!!
Inspite of all this I would like to use minimum indicators and manage!!
Had tried to use Options but unless one has very good understanding of the same, it is Loss making proposition to manage trade intraday with Options!!
For me Filters are doing the job! I use 6 points filter in intraday!!
I donot enter a trade immediately on cossover, the high or low of he crossover bar must be breached for a trigger!!
