Anyone trade anything today? Watched Amgn puts but didnt like pa still ranging no confirmations I skipped. Bought calls: GOOGL 11 Aug 193 and SYNA 18 Aug 95. google slipped back but held 200ma well going into earnings. Syna looked better heading into 50ma test, tsm sympathy play tsm triggered big4 buy signal on 1H at close above supertrend. Looks pretty good but I missed it. watching tmrw.

No new trades for me today. I was very busy at work today and didn't have much time to watch for new setups. F bounced a little today, MRK slipped some today...and even confirmed bearish on the 1H but I decided to hold overnight. May close the last remaining calls tomorrow.
 
As I mentioned Saturday, You can watch the rotations in the market. GILD LLY MRK NVO all confirmed bearish on 1H today...all Rx company's.
MTCH Gave me a 1 hr / 30 m. Call. What do you think? Looks like it has room to 48-49.

How did you scan or find those 2 ? do you have a watchlist or scanner if so please share if u can
 
The arrows are repainting.
@METAL is correct. They do not repaint. If you're watching the 1H the signal may not confirm by the end of the 1H candle if it doesn't close above/below Ehler's Distant Coefficient Filter. Same for every other timeframe. This is why it's important to wait for the candle to close before taking a trade.
 
I can't remember, if the ak trend is on that thread.

Links for the 4 indicators:
Anchored Momentum: https://tos.mx/buzNdWK
AK trend: https://tos.mx/ymhoN5R
Zscore indicator: https://tos.mx/ibBpRr6
Ehlers: https://tos.mx/14yaHql

I forgot to mention that I trade on a 3 min chart and I only trade SPY. The important part is to figure out when a trend has exhausted itself. I use a combo of support and resistance and also the TMO. Whenever it is overbought or oversold, I wait for price to reach a near-term resistance/support area and then watch for a buy/sell signal from the 4 indicators. If 3 out of the 4 indicators have fired a signal I am in the trade. I have tested about almost every indicator that has been posted on this website and I find these 4 to be pretty powerful when used together. I know there's many coders who have posted multiple indicators in one study such as the confirmation candles or the CSA indicators but unfortunately, I couldn't make money off of those.

I have been on this website for about a year now have successfully made $10,000 only last month starting my account from $1,500 using 4 indicators posted on here. I call them the big 4. Ehlers, anchored momentum, ak trend, and zscore. My strategy is simple. I wait until 3 out 4 of the indicators are either bullish or bearish to take on a trade. Over the years I have used other indicators as well but lost.

How did you come across using these together as a system? Also, do you have information that goes into how each of these are calculated or how they function? I did find a pdf article explaining anchored momentum from Stocks and Commodities magazine that I just downloaded. I ran a simple backtest for daily equities that had pretty good results so far. Thanks.
 
I posted my Watchlist and Scan's a few comments/pages ago. You will just need to change the "scan in" to match your watchlist.
i use the watchlist @illbdam69 was kind enough to share and added the custom watchlist script shared in here with the 1H thumb up/down big4 alert to see interesting plays daily. You’ll have to scroll back and review the posts to find it. I also scroll through the watchlist every night or in the am before open to find a few potential plays for the day. Don’t rush into a trade and don’t fomo. It’s probably best to skip first 30-60min and let the setup present itself. Another conservative method if you want to improve results check daily/weekly chart first and only take long trades above 200ma and only short below 200ma when big4 up/down 1H alerts trigger. This is a trend & continuation strategy, it will do poorly in choppy territory and ranging stocks unless you zoom out and pick a longterm option. Earnings season is very dangerous lot of tickers pump/dump irrelevant on results. best to skip and look to get back in bsns after the dust settles imho
