My Swing Trading :3 Indicator Method

Hi,
For the past few days I have been seeing much controversy on forum about technical analysis . My opinion is that if you have your home work
done, if you have confidence in yourself ,if you are diciplined, if you want
to learn and succeed, You will develop your own methods and setups and
execute them in your plan and then trade your plans. This way you will
not rely on anyone Ashwani Gujaral Or anybody else.(I respect Ashwani as
he is successful and disciplined trader)
One of the hot scrip on forum has
been PBA infra structure. I am Taking up this scrip for My Actual Method
for swing Trade. I have simple method and I call it "3 indicator method".
On the day when sensex went down to 11008, PBA infrastructure Made
a low of 154 and a high of 167. I spotted this scrip on my chart and
saw my setup giving a buy signal. some people would wait to buy it
above 167 the last bar high but in that case my stoploss would be little
far away at 154 and as I am bit agressive I decided to buy it at nextday
at market opening.
Next, I analysed my 3 indicator method. It is a simple
method comprising slow stochastic, RSI, And MACD. I keep settings for
stochastic as 5,3,3 for Rsi 9 and for MACD 5,34,5.
Notice on PBA infrastructure that stochastic gave the first buy signal RSI
gave second signal and Macd final confirmatory signal. the same is applied
to sell the scrip when a sell signal is generated. I dont buy if this setup
fails to give me buy signal howsoever attractive that scrip might be. In that
event I search for next scrip. See the attched chart it gave me perfect
settings to buy and I placed a buy order the next day at market open
My buy order was executed at 160.25 with a stop at 154 which is just Rs. 6
below 160. Had I bought above 167 my stop would have been Rs. 13 away
from 154.
Now in four days time the stock is up more than Rs. 20 and none
of the Indicators have reached over bought region indicating that there is
still much distance to be covered by the scrip on the up side.
So this is my simple swing trading technique. In conclusion, if you do
your home work properly and trade your technique you do not need the
Famed technical experts to rely upon.
So, this is my "3 indicator method for you". I am pretty certain that many
of you will have your own methods and setups.

Way to go Joy, but do you always wait for confirmation from all the three musketeers you use.

Hi Vince,
That's true. This method looks simple but is very effective.
It is effective for the novice as well as for the experienced
trader. It is not the simplicity of a system or complexity of
a method which makes a good trader but the dicipline of
a trader that makes him a successful trader. Give a good
system to two traders and see different results .

Hi Joy
A nice method for trading.
"My buy order was executed at 160.25 with a stop at 154 which is just Rs. 6
below 160. Had I bought above 167 my stop would have been Rs. 13 away
from 154. "

Pls advice how you arrive at stop loss

hi rpc,
There are many ways to reach at stoploss but in the above case
see chart . Therein you will see that when my setup was about to
give buy signal there was a big candle on that day with the candle
high price for the day at 167 and low price of 154 . this candle was
the latest swing low . so on the day this candle occurred and the
next day I got my buy signals , It is a standard method to buy
above the previous bar high and keep a stop loss at the bar low.
so the bar low was 154 and bar high was 167 . that is how we
reach our stoploss and buy price.
But incidently I have closed the
above Swing trade around 190 a net profit of around 20%. that is
because price had reacted from 199 and scrip went in pullback mode.
So in swing trading we exit the trade at first sign of price weakness.
therefore I booked profit and planning to enter on pullback. so a
profit of 20% is not bad if it comes to you in a trade which lasted
for 5 days only.

hi joy... liked your sharing spirit...

Thanks for sharing ur experience.
INfo on slow stockchart is good.

Thanks

Dear Vinay,
While calculating the stochastics, if the closing price is less than the lowest low price we get into the minus symbol. Does it matter?
