Trading indicators are best used along with money management and good risk control, using trading indicators alone will not enable you to be a successful trader, the market is just too random and unless risk is controlled over time your account will slowly get wiped out, regardless how good a “trader” you think you are.

Please specify, whether your trading system:
1) was bought off the shelf and what is it called;
2) put together yourself using existing indicators & techniques (ie MACD, Moving Averages, Chart Patterns, etc);
3) developed entirely by yourself as a new proprietary system.

What do you use this system to trade (ie futures, stocks or FX)?
Not fishing for the secret all infallible holy grail of trading system (if it even exists).

Just want a simple answer like:
I trade using point (2) using candlestick patterns and moving averages as trailing stops. Use it to trade FX.

Dont need to know the time period of your moving averages or secret mathematical formulae you’ve programmed into TradeStation or MetaStock.

Can the ETF or stock Index be used as a leading indicator for intraday stock trading?

admin — Fri, 19 Mar 2010 17:30:12 +0000

I was told that S&P futures can be used as leading indicators when day trading stocks. However, I do not have access to Futures through my broker. As an alternative, can I use the Spy (ETF) or the SPX (S&P Index) as a leading indicator when day trading stocks?
