MATCHING YOUR CHART AND TIME HORIZON 1/26/13

BOT TRADING SYSTEM


 Whether your a day-to-day trader, or an investor looking at an extended hold, one critical aspect in trading is to match your chart with your trading horizon.   A day trader may use a 1 minute to a 15 minute chart, whereas someone looking at stocks or options may prefer a daily-weekly chart.

Which chart you use is a matter of personal preference, but a few points of interest remains the same:  the trend and the nature of the trend.

With the BOTs, we look at the nature of the trend with a special focus on 50CB trends.  Those trends are classified as a 45 degree trend run or a "run away" trend which moves "away" from the 45 and the EMA.

ES WEEKLY

On any chart, these TL's are used to time entries/exits, where entries are staged around the 50CB (does it hold?  trend continues.  Does it fail?  look for a trend reversal.) and the exits are staged around TL break outs.

Using this philosophy, what would you do with an option/stock if you see the 50CB and identify the different trend lines?
