Simple MA / EMA Trading System for Dax

[hot_property]

Guys, does anyone use a simple MA system for DAX which can be traded whilst at work?

DAX has horrible whipsaws, I find it difficult to trade as opposed to UK Stocks.

Anyone doing ok with DAX?

Any simple DAX setups you could share?

Thanks in advance

With sensible filter(s) MA cross-over systems can be useful. Any ideas on filters or is that what you're asking?

MA are good but lagging, i have used so many types but by the time you get inn and wait for say 5min candle close DAX has gone up 50pts etc. You enter the trade but your risk becomes bigger.

Osolators work then don't work.

I am thinking is all TA rubbish?

I think there is something in OHLC of the candle. I am testing a theory, its like a breakaway technique.

Would be nice to make say 10 pts high prob a day

all TA is BS because those candles/bars are BS too. a 15 min candle is just that, 15 mins of data aggregated. but which 15mins???? just a few TICKS off and the charts and the indicators look different.

i've looked at 5 different charting progarms, each produce a different chart!!!

Wow! Piphoe....this is what I see! Pure BS! I didnt want to come accross this way but I have studied alot of charts and its all random.

Patterns that have occurred are fine, but emerging patterns shift into different patterns.

I think its a casino.

People think they are trading but in reality its just luck and risk management.

I wonder if anyone can say here , yes TA is such a thing (not what we are asked to beleive) and here is a system that works.

They whipsaw the markets and shaft everyone once/twice a day

so why would you even consider it ?
why not stick to something that you're more comfortable with ?

well, risk management can manage luck.

i know a trend when when i see one, but i can't define it

Everything has whipsaws. So iam asking how people over come this with MA or whatever they use.

Completely disagree, I trade TA very effectively using no more than 5 minute candles, just got to know what your doing, has kept me in the markets for over a decade by using KISS TA.

So piphoe how do you detect a trend how u get inn before its too late. Do you win more than u loose?

each trend begins or ends with the next tick

Whats KISS TA?

 

[piphoe]

Whats KISS TA?

"Keep It Simple Stupid" TA..

my guess?

which is not too hard where it comes to TA

 

[hot_property]

Pipehoe maybe that is too broad a definition?

takes at the minimum (2) ticks to make a trend.

get in on the third.

thats best any inc math algo could hope for.

 

[Dinos]

Piphoes correct, Keep it simple stupid, its all to easy to over complicate, keep everything simple and it will all become very clear, its very easy to over complicate or over think things, just need to think outside the box, so to speak.
