Reality Futures Trading

It’s been awhile since my last post, but rightfully so.  I have been extremely busy trading with The Diversified Trading System (DTS).  This is certainly the most powerful system I have ever used and, I have to say, day trading has never been so easy!  DTS packs three signal generators – the Hawk Micro Scalper, the Falcon Swing Trader, and the Eagle Trend Trader.  Each one is designed to do different things according to various market conditions and when combined with Indicator Warehouse’s Profit Manager and Risk Manager it’s unstoppable day trading system.

As many of you know, I am very slow to change ANYTHING on my chart; you also may know that if I tweak a Moving Average, for example, I will sim trade it for at least 100 trades before I consider trading it live.  Four months ago Adam Halpern, the President of Indicator Warehouse asked me to run DTS through the paces.   “Here we go again, the newest, latest, and greatest,” I thought to myself.  I was especially skeptical of the idea of trying to trade one instrument on three signal generators all at once.  I figured it would be too hard, too fast, and too complicated.

Well, I was wrong and here’s what I discovered.

As I gravitated away from my own system, which was very subjective and only provided me with 4 -6 good trading opportunities a day, I started to open my mind to the possibilities of various signals generated on three DIFFERENT charts.  The first thing I noticed was how strong the signals were.  Second was that it was easy to follow the simple set ups and rules.  The cool thing is that DTS gives you an alert/heads up that a trade might be coming your way.  Unless the market is screaming, the heads up alert gives me enough time to get in with a buy or sell stop order.  The Eagle Trend Trader is designed for bigger moves, suggested profit targets of 15 ticks for the first contract, 20 ticks for the second, and possibly a third contract for the runner.  The Eagle offers 1 – 4 entries a day on average.

Next was Falcon Swing Trader – it has the same trade warning system as the Eagle Trend Trader (as does the Hawk): A warning dot, an entry triangle, and an entry hash mark for a buy/sell stop or a market order.  Click the image below to see a larger view.

I have to add that I am generally not a big fan of alerts because it seems to me that all you here is annoying noises everywhere but DTS has converted me!  When there is an alert, a calm voice comes on with “swing, trend, scalp” etc. and it only happens when a possible opportunity sets up.  The Falcon Swing Trader is designed for mid-term moves, Indicator Warehouse recommends a first target at 8 ticks, second target at 12 ticks, and a third contract as a runner.

Finally, the Hawk Micro-Scalper.  I gave this signal generator the most stringent, rigid testing of all.  As  we all know, scalping can be a losing trading model and needs to generate a high percentage of winning trades.  The Hawk is a very sharp tool.  If you follow the simple rules and be conservative, taking only the easiest set-ups, with realistic profit targets you’ll do fine.   The Hawk can generate as many as 15 valid trade signals a day!  Indicator Warehouse recommends a 4 tick first target, a 8 tick second target, and as always if trading 3 or more contracts you can have one for a runner.

If you have all three signal generators working with one instrument you could see up to 30 trade signals a day depending on what instrument you are trading!

The million dollar question I often hear is “Ray, do you catch them all”?  The emphatic and honest answer is no!  And I don’t care, I get more than enough trading signals on all three signal generators that most days I can be done the first hour and a half after the regular US Market open and I don’t need to be stressed out about WHEN my next signal will be and I with that many good signals I only ever need to take the good ones!  I’m never tempted by the turkeys anymore.
