Hi all

 

Is there anyone who uses the "Value Area" or the "Market Profile" indicators in trading shares.

 

If so, can you please advise on which trading platforms or systems include these indicators for JSE shares?

 

I have read that the "Value Area" indicator can be used with a high probability of success and I would like to test this more fully.

 

Thanks in advance to anyone who can advise on this. 

 

Kind Regards

BT

here is one of many simple systems..."triple crossover" using EMA 4/9/18 combined with RSI/STOCH/MACD on a 5/10/15min window

there are variations to this system...change first EMA to "3" for faster plotted PA and switch time frame(1min)  keep in mind there will be whiplash but if scalping with aggressive positioning will give you a earlier turn signal :)

Not sure if this is the correct topic - can anyone advise if a SWIX benchmark makes sense for an actively managed equity portfolio (by an asset management company??

 

Hi Fuxx

 

The SWIX is the Shareholder Weighted version of the ALSI. So if the portfolio is a broad equity portfolio, with an investment pool that includes any of the stocks on the JSE, then yes the SWIX would be a good benchmark, even if the portfolio is actively managed.

 

However, if the equity portfolio is restricted to or from some sectors of the JSE, then they may be need to modify the benchmark accordingly.

I have modified Simon Brown's Lazy System (www.justonelap.com) adding a few more indicators etc. and I find this works well with indices and buying the corresponding ETF. 

 

Rookie however you are correct fees can chew up your profits. To avoid this you need to increase the size of your trade to the point where the % the fees represent is acceptable. However I must caution you to determine the amount you are prepared to risk and set a strict stoploss in place when you trade with larger amounts.

 

go to www.Justonelap.com where there are plenty of webinars that discuss risk, stoplosses etc.

I am interested, but I am still very new to trading, so new that I don't trade yet (loads of TA to learn still).  Fixed rule systems have the potential to be automated and backtested, which I can help with.
