Hi,
I have been spending a very log time in devloping / optimizing my intraday breakout strategy which now runs acceptable profitable result. I do notice that this breakout strategy doesn't work good during some non-volatile / quite / relative narrow day range days. I want to add the other ingredients into it to make it more robust.
Now, I would like to move to study another area - swing trading or other strategies that will act a bit of complemntary to the intraday breakout strategy. This is the area that I have never spent time on. I have done a preli research on classic type of Stochastic / MACD related strategies which don't really perform or promising at all for themselves along.
I would like to seek some advices or directions that I should go. I appreciate if you can give me some suggestions.
Thanks!~~

I am using IB data in which the volume is not accurate, so I don't think the second one worth spending to study. I have studied the third one already.have you looked at ADX?
say, if ADX < 25 then do nothing?
or, if volume < XXX then do nothing?
or, if time = lunchtime then do nothing?
I may take a look at the ADX.
Thanks, TJ
That is the area that I want to explore. My thought is using the X Daily Range Average (XDRAvg) as a filter.Another might be : if range <= x then begin
If XDRAvg < Y {or other appropriate filter} then begin
My SwingTrading Strategy
End; Else
My Breakout Strategy;
Now the key area is to identify and develop a profitable Swing Trading Strategy (or others) that is profitable.
BTY, is there any pivot point (resistance / support) related mechanical strategy that is profitable? If you know, please let me know, so I have a direction that I should look at too!!
