Great idea for a thread but as yousaid, I doubt many will want to give away a system they have developed (myself included I hate to admit) I will admit that I use DVI, stochastics, Chandes momentum oscillator and cycle analysis to trigger my system with a few secret ingredients <ggg>. I do think however we might be able to post our buy and sell signals here to get a feel for how others systems stack up against our own and give lurkers an idea of the type of accuracy they should be shooting for while developing thiers. Good Luck, Lee

keith, great and timely thread, for me anyway :) i have MetaStock EOD and am spending some time thinking about indicators before i actually fire it up just to put it in perspective, these are some of my biases; i'm naive rookie, and i am; visually pattern oriented -inflenced by trader sentiment REGARDLESS of TA FA or system signals -looking at intraday patterns to help predict next session direction -convinced that successful short selling is very much overlooked my preferred TA tools are; candlesticks, Exponential Moving Averages and Moving Averages Renko and three line break charts (just studying now) Strategies most overlooked, imho are; exit timing $/trade and timing to increase position during trend (long/short) i am building software to track trader sentiment so that it can be used as an added dimension to TA FA in exit/entry/risk strategies with all the stuff on my plate, i have relegated futures trading to next year BUT will use futures in 'intra-market' indicator -that way i can pick up stuff by 'accident' :) if there is any way i can contribute within the areas i have noted above, please let me know regards, ynot ;)

We'll test 1383 this week on S&P Futures based on my Candlestick Charts then if we can't break out from there back down again as were stuck in this trading range till earning season run might take us out of it.

Hi Keith, Just found your thread.. good luck.. Currently I am barely hanging on a buy from last Thurs. based upon my interpretation of the 30' min Beta, Up vs Dn volume and the Vix.. for a directional signal.. and then enter on a 1' & 3' time frames of the Prem and tick with some of Ispec's/Raschke's candle setups thrown in.. First I pick the direction to trade.. now 30' .. then go in that direction on pull backs.. I use the 5' 20 unit BBs for setting stops outside the opposite band direction coug

Market sentiment indicators - Market Vane. This is the Bullish consensus of financial advisors. It is used in a contrarian sense for trading. Has anyone used this indicator and have they found it useful? It looks possibly like a good indicator to throw into my neural net system, however I would like to know if it is useful on its own first. They do charge a monthly fee for this indicator. Second question - does anyone know any of any similar consensus indicators freely available on the web? Perhaps the Bull/Bears SI count would be useful, though I don't know if they provide historical data. Web page is: home.earthlink.net regards, Brian
