Beginner's Guide to Define a Trade Setup

 Hello Everyone !

 On this Article I will explain the basics on defining and executing a Trade Setup.
It doesn't matters if we are analyzing Forex, Futures, Stocks or any other instrument, the rules are the same and they work anywhere.

 An important step we must follow to document what are we doing is to write the rules in a way that anyone can understand and trade in the same way.

 As a suggestion, try to avoid long and complex conditions and try to differentiate the setup into these 3 different items :

  1. Entry Trigger
    A group of conditions that when all in agreement trigger an Entry Signal
  2. Filter Conditions
    A group of conditions that must agree to accept an Entry Signal
    Usually we can put all these conditions together with #1
  3. Exit Trigger
    A group of conditions that when all in agreement trigger an Exit Signal.
    Any remaining position is closed when this happens.

Examples of #1) Entry Trigger

  • Fast Line crosses above Slow Line to Enter Long
  • Oscillator leaves oversold area to Enter Long
Examples of #2) Filter Conditions

  • System is already Long ( so we dont add more position )
  • System is Short ( so we wait this position to finish at target or stop )
  • Higher Time Frame Filter is not aligned
Examples of #3 Exit Trigger can be similar to #1


With Markers Plus, now we can Create, Visualize and Auto Trade any Logic that we define :



On the Following Post I will show several Trade Setup Examples and its implementation using Markers Plus Tools

 Best Regards,
Pablo Maglio

Setup Darvas Squeeze - The Best Indicator Combo for NinjaTrader 8

By
  This setup is the confluence of 2 different Trade Setups : Setup #1 : Darvas The Darvas Indicator is included with NinjaTrader and it draw 2 lines as shown on the picture When the price crosses one of the lines it is a signal. The only special consideration about this indicator is that it redraws, so what we see on the Chart is not what is visible real time, but once the box is drawn in real time, if the price breaks it we have a signal. This system has no parameters, so the only variable we have is the timeframe, and also it is suggested to filter it with some other tool, as we are doing here. Setup #2 : Squeeze This setup uses 2 indicators, also present on NinjaTrader or any standard platform ;  Bollinger Keltner Channel The Bollinger envelope lines visible in orange on the picture, are following a simple moving average of the Close. The distance between the upper envelope and the midline is X times the Std Deviation of the last N Bars, where N is the Period of the SMA ( S...
