Hi Mfb,
Just saw your post on stop outs. I'm sure you're finding that Mark's method does have it's drawdowns-
and it's tough I find to let the trendy-runners -run themselves out.
Do you use 5 minute candles to establish the open range ? ; I have done that for YM and ES with
good results. I love the simplicity of this method.
It's a great start for a new trader, because once you handle the sim-trading, then you
can handle adding a few other parameters.
Parameters such as : the fibs when they get overextended values: such as: 1.27, 1.62, 2.33, 3.14, etc.
- to look for a turn for a reversal.
Catch my point; add slowly and let the results pan out in SIM first.
Cheers,
G.
Opening range are dependent on time frame like 45 minutes, 30 minutes, 10 minutes and 5 minutes etc.. For Oil, I use 45 minutes.
Lot of traders use 5 minutes etc. Each trader has to find one. For a breakout set up, 5, 10 minutes are more relevant vs 45 minutes. By the 45 minutes OR is set most breakouts are over. Thus , i use 5 minutes OR to catch a breakout but my main focus is 45 minutes OR.
Key is to pick one OR and stick with it. ACD is a very intuitive method. Intuition is developed by practice. If one keep on changing OR etc.., he/she will never develop intuition.
