Adding filters for better trading signals

Posted by: Milton In: Market Neutral

Years ago when I first got started with trading I did what everyone does which is experiment with lots of indicators, sometimes they give what appear to be good signals, most of the time they’re not really anything to write home about.

I think I may have found a use for them, by using an overbought/oversold indicator (in my case I’ve tried the CCI aka Commodity Channel Index) on the volatile pair of my trades it appears (in my ever so brief testing) that it provides a nice filter to tell me when to get in and out of my trades. This is of course in combination with my trading strategy indicator which gives me overbought/oversold signals in relation to other currencies.

Some good news is that I’m slowly climbing the ladder in the Automated Trading Championship. at present I’m in 52nd position with balance of $18k.

Forex Howto is a site that I setup some years ago, I neglected it for a couple of years and now it's back online.

It will have my progress as I explore the world of Forex trading and my experiences in trying to profit from it.

About me: I'm a 31 year old aussie living in Sydney, Australia.

I work as a programmer and hope to someday use my programming skills and growing knowledge of FOREX and markets in general to run live automated trading systems (all going well they'll be profitable).
