Is this a good trading strategy? DarkProtoman 07-10-2007

Is this a good strategy:

Buy when RSI <=40 AND CMF bullishly diverges from 30 day EMA AND 30
day EMA of price relative to S&P 500 is increasing AND Bollinger Band
Width is <4
Sell when RSI >=60 AND CMF bearishly diverges from 30 day EMA AND 30
day EMA of price relative to S&P 500 is decreasing AND Bollinger Band
Width is >4

What Direct Access Brokerage do you like better, TradeStation,
thinkorswim, or Interactive Brokers?

Thanks!!!

You need to day what you're trading, and what your anticipated
hold timeframe is, before anybody could give you an answer
to that question. I daytrade only futures on Interactive Brokers, using
ZoneTrader. http://ScalpingFutures.com and I would say the
market is so dynamic that no single formula such as the one you've
described could ever cope with the "dynamic range" of a market,
let alone be a formula for a wide variety of markets. I assume you
are 1) a specialist in what you trade, and 2) apparently a technical
trader, which is a good thing.

I trade bio/technology and mining equities and options on said
equities. My timeframe is 5-30 days.

Here's a slight update to the strategy:

Buy when 10 day RSI <=30 AND Chaikin Oscillator --5,30-- <0 AND 5 day
EMA of price relative to Advance/Decline index on the S&P 500 --or
equivalent options index-- crosses up over the 30 day EMA of the same
AND said equity/option closed below it's 30 day EMA
Sell when 10 day RSI >=70 AND Chaikin Oscillator --5,30-- >0 AND 5 day
EMA of price relative to Advance/Decline index on the S&P 500 --or
equivalent options index-- crosses down below the 30 day EMA of the
same AND said equity/option closed above it's 5 day EMA
