I'm not sure what happened i thought I started a new Cl journal - but can't see it.

In any case, the score today is a dead tie
Gann 1, Murray 1

Gann: Sell 112.90 Close 112.81 = +.09
Murray: Sell 112.89 Close 112.82 = 0.07

Notes Adjust Murray to solid blue.

Ok So I need to decide on some setup rules for each side.

Murray:
Buy if:

1. Murry line holds
2. CCI 17 on 5 min has turned up

Stop:
50% of way between lines:
(e.g 3/8 110.94 to 2/8 109.38 ==> 3/16 110.16)

Target= Next line
(e.g 3/8 so next line is 5/8 = 114.06 )

Other suggestions of setup rules welcome - this is a "just for fun" group trading thread.

Please feel free to post your setup rules with a screensnaps of trades you made (before and after if possible) , with entry price, stop price , target price and exit price market on the chart and the time frame of the chart.
(exit price if not the same as target or stop pls add a note why).

Here is a snap of before fo today Monday 11 Apr 2011

Gann Setup

Buy:
Bounce off % level (e.g. 150%) and break upthrough speed line (e.g -3 x 1 shown here as 1 x3 in green)

Stop:
next lower %
(e.g. 150%)
or break of upwards speed line

Target:
Upwards speed line matching a %

Thanks Cory,

"I posted 2 examples of CL and murray math in a new thread. It is just for fun and to encourage an experiment in group co-operative trading. The idea is that anyone who wants to can post their setup rules and then track their trades one a day with before and after screensnaps, target and stop."

Perhaps you would like to trade the setup you posted and put the results in this thread?
(or your own thread if you prefer)

I wanted to have some fun with this and have different people trade Murray with the setup they like.
To keep it simple just trade one contract (or report the average entry price - less average exit price).
Goal is one trade a day per game player - more if you like.

perhaps with the collective genius of NexusFi (formerly BMT) we can cut and splice, try and refine and develop something for the benefit of the whole board. I welcome your participation - and others in a group trading exercise.

Ok here is today's Tuesday's before snapshots.

(for my own system I must catch the FE before 10amCT and if not I don't trade -so I've left fiddling with CL and Murray until now)

I noticed that there is a strong bounce of the Murray low level. Wow - pretty exciting.

"Actually, the real basic version is as follows:
1. Sell at 7/8 line, buy back at 4/8 line.
Use stop loss at 8.320 of 1/8 line.
2. Buy at 1/8 line, sell at 4/8 line.
Use stop loss at -0.320 of 1/8 line."

Rule 2.:
Do you subtract 0.320 from the 1/8 line for the stop?

don't remember where I found it, takutrader? bambootrader? lol

I am not able to manage the time to maintain this thread.
I closed off the CL trade with Murray at 107.68 so plus 1.10 from 106.58 buy.

Thanks Cory for your insights into Murray.
