1 SPX positive trade for $100. Good warning and signal at 14:00 & 14:10 pm EST.That makes sense...
That came so fast...I took my eyes off the screen for 5 seconds(to pick my coffee cup) and shoot it jumped and kept jumping..Damn it, i missed the entry again at 11:10.
I enter 2 contracts...one scalp at 12 ticks and the second is a runner until macdbb turns. so far it is looking good. the runners wipe out the losing trades. this image is for today trade at around 130pm central@babouin77 from my testing, I don't see exiting with MACDBB changing colors to be profitable. You mentioned that in your strategy you let a trade ride until it changes color and that you don't have hard stop loss. Do you find your second trade that rides with MACD profitable?
Nice. Are you using the same SPX Strategy from Hypoluxa for /ES? Or made any changes? Cheers!i got in ES long 3953.25
at 130 central
got out
3964.75
+575
same with the code that barbados posted aboveNice. Are you using the same SPX Strategy from Hypoluxa for /ES? Or made any changes? Cheers!
Well, this one is a very good example. It seems like your runners are bigger than the loosing trades. However, when I backtest it, in the long run, it is loosing for me.I enter 2 contracts...one scalp at 12 ticks and the second is a runner until macdbb turns. so far it is looking good. the runners wipe out the losing trades. this image is for today trade at around 130pm central
i just go with what the market gives me. you might be right over the long run, but even in TOS the floating PL if I do ur indicator into a strategy comes out positive.Well, this one is a very good example.

XSP is cash settled?Not sure, if anyone here trade $XSP mini version of SPX, same as spy but it have a tax advanced same as SPX, imo
Just curious, which version are you using on a regular basis?Be cautious with this 9:40 MACDBB...its sitting on the line and not cleared yet....plus the 2nd candle came out shorter than the 1st one.
my original post setup.Just curious, which version are you using on a regular basis?

Thanks. Quick 2 point gain on the 3945P. Entry: 13.50. Exit: 15.50. Nice! As always, thanks for the great work to you and @barbaros!my original post setup.
I wouldn't call this a course. My goal is zero fluff. I will jump right into my current watchlist, tell you the ThinkorSwim indicator that I'm using, and past trade setups to help you understand my swing trading strategy.
