I'm currently using: \- 20 / 50 EMA \- 5 min / 1 min chart \- Stop loss 1.5x 1min ATR \- Use 5 min chart for bias and execute off the 1min. \- General aim (keeping details simple) is to trade in direction of trend and buy / sell …

“If ORB Was Really That Easy…” *Why Influencer ORB Tutorials Can Fail - And What the Market Is Actually Telling You.* \*\* **Disclaimer**: Everything here is for educational discussion only, not trading advice.\*\* I’ve seen a lot of posts from many new traders here trying to understand the Opening Range …

My Journey From Manual TA Trader To Building A Full Algorithmic System (And What Nobody Tells You About Algo Trading) I started trading manually years ago, pure TA, screens full of levels, indicators, price action, you name it. Some weeks I felt like a genius, other weeks like I’d never …

mean reversion intraday is one of the hardest edges to sustain, especially when volatility cycles shift or liquidity thins out. Most of the time it looks profitable because price returns to equilibrium often enough to trick you emotionally, until the one outlier move erases every prior gain. A trend based …

okay its surprising you seriously think that you figured something out. but I’ll be honest with you, you just have backtested a strategy which isnt even work in a hypothetic way, if you understand well enough what market and what RSI are you dont even try to backtest this “strategy” …

Variance and trend, ATR

Full-time trader here. I’ve tried just about everything in my 13 years as a trader. I’ve tried none, I’ve tried multiple different EMA lengths, The Squeeze, Reversal Alerts, Bolinger Bands, Fib, RSI, MACD, ATR, Trailing ATR, VWAP, The Cloud, some I even made on my own. These days it’s just …

I use 3: -RSI, just as an added confirmation filter in my strategy’s ruleset -A few EMAs (10, 20, 50) just to help with visualization and for some dynamic S&R confluence -One more that calculates ATR to use for my SL That’s all I use. None of them are absolutely …

If you take the log of the ratio and multiply it by 100 then the output would just be the percentage difference of the two ATR values. The output would be normalized to 0 instead of 1 and the thresholds may be a little more intuitive (positive -> more short-term …

Because it’s the hardest part of trading and it can’t be generalized the same way entries can. Entries are easy to show. Management is where the real edge lives. Here’s my take.. 1. A good entry with bad management becomes a bad trade. You can have a 90% win-rate setup …

ATR stands for average true range? Nevermind i got it now! Thanks for sharing.

Understanding Volatility the Right Way (and Why I Created VEI) Most traders talk about volatility… but very few measure it correctly. Even fewer understand how volatility *shifts* before price does. That’s the real edge. This is why I built a simple metric called **VEI : Volatility Expansion Index**. It helps …

How I Caught This BTC Bullish Move Using Demand + VEI (Volatility Check) - Posted Today A lot of traders only look at structure, but structure *plus* volatility tells the real story. Here’s how this move set up: **Price retested a clean demand zone** The level was already respected multiple …

The Signal I Use to Detect Hidden Instability in Markets Most traders think a market is “stable” when price moves smoothly. In reality, stability is a *volatility pattern*, not a price pattern. Here’s a simple way my algos detect when things are actually becoming unstable: **I calculate two volatilities:** * …

This is the part nobody talks about when it comes to backtesting I kept seeing this MACD + 200 EMA strategy all over YouTube. There’s even a video with over a million views that presents it like the most winning strategy. I mean look at the equity curve, pretty clean. …

Stop predicting, just wait for confirmation and trade what you see happening in front of you. If something moves from 10 to 20, I want the 11 to 19 move. I just ride a trend within a trend. 1% Max risk with ATR based stop, then I'm just cruising.

Yeah, this is a super common sticking point – you’re not alone at all. Right now your “risk management” rule is really a “protect my green day” rule. It feels safe, but mathematically it’s weird: you’re letting one early winner decide whether you’re allowed to take the next valid setup …

Risk management I have a quick question and would like some advice on this please! I have my trading locked down. Ik what I need to look for and Ik when I should not take a trade , etc. I’m a scalper on ES 2000 tick chart. So for example …

Trade tick charts that usually match around 15s instead. They give better structure 15s does historically respect Bollinger Bands, MA envelopes, and Keltner Channels. But you would need non-repainting versions that use open source and ATR[1] for Keltner

Vix, ATR, 50,100, 200 and 320 SMAs, 9 and 21 EMAs and vwap on 5 min and daily candles, TTM Squeeze, StokeRSI, volume average, and ikimoku cloud. I also use the SPX chart, as the lack of overnight trading creates vastly different SMAs/EMAs on the 5 min candles. I use …

Why I built an EA Instead of trying to rewire my psychology (and what it does better than I ever could manually) I used to be one of those people who thought automation was cheating or not real trading. Then I looked at my own behaviour and realised something uncomfortable. …

ORB is a legit strategy - but it is simply a framework that should be filled with other data in order to be useful. For large-cap, institutions often set their day up in the first 15-30 min of market open. Once the dust clears, retail steps in and drives movement. …

Newbie asks for advice - stock picking & strategy Hi together. I need advice from experienced Traders. Im Trading for about 3 months. Im focusing on high momentum stocks on nasdaq, Amex, Cboe and nyse with Vol >1M, Average Vol >30%, Price <5$. My Strategy is to buy the stock, …

Looking for Beta Testers for My Algo (Access + Training Material) I’m looking for a few serious traders to beta test my algorithm and give me honest feedback. What the algo actually does (Core Value System): My system is fully math-based and built around momentum, directional bias, volatility, and market …

I've spoken with many professional instituional traders in the most random places ever, at an event, at a wedding, in a café, in my job, I meet them all the time, and they all tell me the same thing: it's just numbers on the screen, billions do not mean anything, …

I logged 104 trades over 4 weeks. Here’s what actually happened and why following the plan matters Everyone says “follow the plan” until they have a losing week. So I decided to actually do it properly for a month and collect real data. Same rules. Same Risk. Same strategy. Same …

My next goal is to refine my entry and exit conditions by introducing ATR in my backtesting worksheet. After few months of bloody coding from scratch, my strategy works very well only in bull and/or trending markets, but turns out to breakeven after stretching the backtest data to 5 years. …

Keep it simple: price leads, HTF levels first, one clean trigger, and strict risk. My MTF plan is D/H4 for bias and key levels, H1 for structure, M15 only for the entry. I look for break + retest of a trendline or key level, then a two-bar rejection or inside …

Honestly, yes, you do need to modify or tweak a strategy over time… but not every day, and not in a reactionary way. No one strategy works forever, otherwise people would find one and just use it all the time (automate it and go to the beach and relax while …

You can try an ATR-based stop. Just look at the 14-period ATR value from the last closed candle, and use a multiple of it (1x, 1.5x, 2x, etc) as your stop

BB + Stoch RSI can work, but cut false signals by adding higher timeframe trend/structure (HH/HL or 200 EMA), a volatility/volume check (ATR/ADX + OBV), and strict journaling with stops beyond swings; you can find more information at mr-profit com.

That sharp move up on NCLH on Friday, 11/21 corresponds with a sharp rally move by the broader market (e.g. SPY as proxy) that started around the same time (~11:00 am ET). While NCLH does not appear to have had news, it (and many other stocks) simply may have been …

Full-time trader here. Trial and error of my own ideas, as well as concepts from others I learned along the way. I’d lay in bed at night and ideas would come to my head; different scenarios, patterns, things like, “well if the market does that on a minute chart what …

I use volume,such as Volume Delta Footprint, volume, to identify absorption aswell as time and sales, LTQ (last traded quantity) (aka ' the tape'). I also rely heavily on the L2 DOM (Depth of Market, aka ' the book') to look for orderflow. I like to see orders being 'refreshed' …

No. Hedge funds will often go stop loss hunting if there's significant volume around a certain price, but typically institutions don't care. Most retail investors are not day traders. They couldn't care less what a price does intraday. Prop firms care. But retail doesn't. Also, if you're buying a stock …

Agreed about the blind gambling. Read up about RR (risk vs reward) and Average True Range (ATR). Do not trade against the market sentiment. Down days are down days. Your stop loss will just about guarantee to lose money on down days. Do watch YouTube video about stop losses. Read …

U need fix rules that fit into market-conditions. For example: Ranging market (HT) with inside-bars and chopoy moves = quick risk cut and next possible zone as TP. Trendy market with decent ATR, no fundamentals ahead and outside bars = Save partials at different TPs or move SL below/above certain …

ATR works; try low-cost ETFs for similar moves.

Update momentum + engulfing Hey guys, Thank you very much for your criticism past time. It helped me pretty much to improve my code and logic. Now I take: global trend + day trend (ORB/VWAP) - depending on that bearish or bullish engulfing for each of the tikers. Engulfing has …

Consider using ATR to determine how many contracts to use. You can’t treat a 1 min ATR of 25 the same as a 1 min ATR of 10. You might be over leveraged. When I trade the ORB, I use less contracts than I do when I trade late morning …

I went down this exact rabbit hole a few years ago. Python is a great tool for this, but it’s important to realize you’ll never get a “mathematically proven” edge in the strict sense, what you can get is a statistically supported edge that holds up across different regimes and …

You can probably use some indicators like ATR or a mean/std dev range to filter when to trade vs not... knowing when not to trade is as important... I trade reversals when the market starts ranging and pullbacks/breakouts when it is trending. Use simple market structure and support/resistance levels on …

It depends less on opinion and more on your stats.​ If you’re scalping, moving to BE usually just chops you up in spread and random noise, so it doesn’t make sense.​ For day‑trading you have to look at volatility. on EURUSD for example the current daily ATR is roughly 0.4–0.8%, …

Use one solid “trend filter” indicator something simple like the 21 EMA with the 50 EMA, or even just VWAP. Focus on continuation signals instead of individual candles. If the pullback is slow and weak, the trend is probably still intact. Adding a volatility filter, like ATR or even just …

What is your break even protocol? Just a discussion thread here. What do you use to move your stop loss to break even? I currently move my stop loss to break even when price moves 1 ATR in my favor. I usually use 1.5 ATR to be my target when …

Your strategy seems solid, but as you've noticed, it struggles in consolidating markets. One way to refine it could be to add a volatility filter. For example, you could use the Average True Range (ATR) to measure market volatility and only trade when it's above a certain threshold. This could …

What exactly happened here? Hey everyone! I was following SPY this morning, and noticed that it was being oversold, so I bought some calls at right about when it started to rebound. I'm still learning, and I'm curious to know as to why the change suddenly and aggressively reverted. Is …

Avol and ATR only.

I’d avoid the overnight session unless your commitments make that your only option. If so, I’d focus on the open/closing 90 mins of the Tokyo and London sessions into the NY open if possible. Globex can certainly move but don’t fight the ATR. If the auction velocity hits a wall, …

Risk management is key. You can have an 85% win rate and blow up your account in a day by letting your emotions get the best of you. I was up over 100%, this month. 85% win rate. I thought this could be it. I was finally profitable and managing …

Ohh my i get you, I lost all my money and it was trying to do just what you did. I so get your plight. I mentally decided i was committed to trading and it has taken several years but i always new i just needed to figure out how …

Soooo you're wanting to trade 10 contracts on a 50k funded account to make $200 a day. Unless you have been trading profitably already- it's much more likely that you will blow the account. An experienced trader could make $200 a day with a funded account most days if there …

Liquidity alone does not make an asset tradeable on an intraday basis. There are many factors like institution vs retail participation, HV vs IV, ATR, margin requirement, etc. The way an asset trades also has to align with your strong suits as a trader. Momentum traders will do well with …
