My technique is simple and here it is:
On a 1 min chart apply a 10 period (High) Simple moving average and an 8 period (Low) SMA. Now when the MACD passes above the zero line(Zero line is where the Histogram is formed) from below and you get a green candle whose open and close are above the 10 SMA go long. Now when the MACD passes below the zero line from above and you get a red candle whose open and close is below the 8 SMA go short. Today is a wonderful day where there were good shorts as the MACD was below the zero line. MACD settings are 12/26/9

unfortunately my longer term stuff in making me hold this.....so this is a good test for me mentally.....after all it's easy to lose money trading.....we have a composite that was run from the 10-10-08 low /date as we have consolidated since that time....with very little time spent below

there....

Thanks AK

How do you determine your profit target(s) and can you post some snapshots of your method for visualization?
