Simple Trader.Good question.
In 5 Minutes timeframe you tend to get noise till you get hang of it. Its natural. Don't mind. If you follow these rules framed by ST bro will be in perfect trades most of the times.Lets assume we have opportunity for shorting: Now we have candle number 1 which is a starting candle. Then candle number 2 which would have closed below candle number 1. We enter only at candle number 3 if that takes out the bottom of candle number 2 . By this time invariably Stoch has to come to neutral zone.
The rules for entry are:
1) The oscillator should have gone to overbought zone.
2) Wait for a bar where the oscillator flips...ie comes out of overbought zone and comes in neutral zone....
3) In doing step No 2 the oscillator should not have stayed in overbought zone for 5 bars and more
4) Wait for a downclose ( meaning close less than earlier day's close)
5) Ensure that by that time oscillator does not go very near oversold region
6) Sell when the low of the downclose bar is broken on downside.....
Further thats the exact reason I have been merging BB with this method so that newcomers can perfect the entry initially.
See the chart below. the first arrow indicates a area where BB top band pierced green + RED. now watch for next down close below the bottom of that RED candle which was pierced by BB top band. Its the 6th candle where I have marked a line .See stoch its already in neutral zone .go short as all 6 qualifiers are met.
See my 2nd arrow.Same phenomena. What a beautifull trade that was. Try to perfect these entries .You will realise how powerfull it is. Practice. Practice .practice.You WILL get it.
