Al, your Vindicator is very good at entering a trade, picks tops very nicely. can it be tweeked to exit a trade at a slightly better advantage? I know I'm asking for alot, even as is, it is a fine tool. That last minuet 5th wave was well identified in your post last night. I saw it at the open but was too greedy and waited too long to exit. But as you say - all profits are good profits and I have had a very good run lately. Thanks for your help.
Tony - understand that this tool was just developed over the winter, and I do plan on refining it over time as experience is gained. For right now, my preliminary rules are to exit based on trend line breaches (or on stops) which so far works pretty well. One thing I'm watching is the 5 minute V Stoch, if you'll notice it showed a nice divergent pattern into this morning's lows. Also, there's nothing stopping you from applying it in any manner which you think would improve it, and I'm always open to suggestion.
Could be - however, in Feb during the strong uptrend the thing to trade off of was the V Stoch, not the Buy/Sell - thus right now if that buy line bottoms and I trade it I'll only go a 1/2 position
So as not to confuse, I mean the V Stoch on the 30 min chart - you could trade it on the 5 min chart, but my thinking is to use that chart for day trades

ReplyDeleteThanks for the updates, Al.
ReplyDeleteLooks like you might be closing in on a buy signal shortly. Maybe we'll get a relief rally before heading to S&P 1140? Let's see.
