yamantaka Posted September 14, 2013 Report Posted September 14, 2013 Jane, I'm a systems trader. I don't think the bigger picture version as you've shared above would easily lend itself to automation since it involves a wee bit of discretion. However, your earlier no indicator version would. Do you have any interest in working with me to develop that into an auto-trader? Quote
yamantaka Posted September 14, 2013 Report Posted September 14, 2013 @wcicom, you are incorrect. Each ES tick is $.125, not $.25., but your point about slippage is well taken. In truth a trader who buys ask and sell bid is losing a whopping 50% in slipppage on a one point ES trade. I think scalping ES without leasing a seat on the CME is a money losing proposition after all costs are factored in. Quote

Guest mroussos Posted November 3, 2013 Report Posted November 3, 2013 Friday was a great day for sure Where can I find that divergence indi thanks Quote
Traderbeauty Posted November 3, 2013 Author Report Posted November 3, 2013 Hi Mroussos You can use any divergence indicator- it does not make a difference at all. Remember- a div is only a potential for a future reversal or a retracement, its not a guarantee; so do not make a usual mistake that we all mak- meaning- you see a divergence and you swear that the market is going to retrace and guess what- it just continues and take you out. To my humble opinion- dont waste you time with indicators, check you fibs on top of the indicators and if you see a divergence right when the fib extension is 1.272 or 1.618 then take it , but keep in mind that this is just a retracement. If the fib is less that 1.272 then this is either a symmetry with a retracement equal to the last leg or a reversal. But as long as the fibs are 1.272 or more then most likely the trend continues.
