I have a question on the entry/exit rules and trade management.
1) Today, NQ, ES and YM all opened lower than the pivot. So do you enter at MOO?
2) Is this a multi-day setup and what kind of stops are you using? i.e. all 3 indexes appear to have trigerred longs in Jan that depending on exit rules you might still be in.
Am I correct that the setup is that the price for, say, a short has to either bounce or come down thru the woodie pivot at the same time as the wcci croses down thru +100?
Does the 3rd bar from the right fulfill that criteria? (see attached)
Are those daily bars? Are the pivot lines shown for the current bar (day)? Or are they for the third bar back in time? (Or maybe both if the chart is not a daily.)
It seems to me the only bar the daiy pivot lines are 'valid', are for the curent daily bar - because the third bar back has it's own pivot number based on the data of that bar's open and the previous hi/lo.
I may have it wrong but I was wondering what you figured the entrance price was for the trade signal on 2/18. I had the cci go under 100 on the 17th and the pivot on the 18th at 1203.50 - the high of the day at ~3:55 pm est. I wonder if that was the entry you referred to? Other wise I don't see how you could have gotten 19 points the next day.
See my chart below of the 18th with the pivot marked in yellow.
Thanks for trying to help.
