ETF SWING & DAY TRADING

[gloe]

At one time I traded hong kong futures market (HSI) using HA bars. (No longer do it, the hours were a killer.) Would trade the 1 min "in the direction of" the 5 min. If 5 min bar is green, only trade the 1 min from the long side. When 1 min goes red, go to cash and wait for the next green bar, as long as the 5 min stayed green. Might try the same thing using daily/weekly chart. Use the weekly for the "trend" and trade the daily IN THE DIRECTION OF the weekly bar. Go to cash when get the opposite signal.

You will never pick off the top and bottom this way, but will keep you in the direction of the trend.

Could try it daytrading too, Nocona. Use the 15 min HA bars and a 3 min HA bar. Trade IN THE DIRECTION OF the 15 min.

Or could try to combine it with the Nocona trade. Might help avoid whips.

I am just full of ideas today, aren't I?

Boy, trading is tough.
