* Got it! I using both ATS and trend-based strategies because I been working with ATS for over two years and found it effective for building strategies with the boxes. You also have the option to ignore the boxes and rely on ATS Trend, Moving Averages (MAs), or the Jurik Line to determine the current trend.davidpont wrote: Wed Feb 05, 2025 9:19 pm First of all, greetings vzulaks!
It was really interesting to see your messages in Beats' thread also your implementation of the strategy. I am grateful that you decided to start your own thread and system.
Read through all the posts here and I would like to add also feedback being here.
Correct me if I am wrong at any point, trying to understand the way of thinking behind the system.
- The pillar of the strategy is the ATS approach. Identifying HTF bias and trade only in the direction of the HTF bias if we can suggest it is in the trending phase. (Following the larger institutional money cycle)
- On the entry timeframe looking for possible liquidity zones, which has a higher chance to imply entry as the price probably react to that zone (e.g. after a liquidity sweep)
- The PR indicator shows the volume change. If we see a spike it could mean 2 things will be a continuation or possible reversal.
- To filter the noise and get the right entry from the PR we should wait for the confirmation of the histograms.
Also important to use the methodology in sessions which have high liquidity. E.g. US session for US30.
That makes perfect sense—combining both approaches gives flexibility in different market conditions!
* Second, trade on the timeframe you are using, and look for a PR on that same timeframe—but NOT on M1.
I do not recommend trading on M1 because it is too noisy and generates too many false signals for scalping. The key takeaway: M1 does not have high effectiveness. Instead, trade on M5 or higher for better results!
*To filter out noise in signals, I recommend the following if you're day trading:
Use H1 and M30 to determine the trend.
Identify the trend by combining Jurik, Xu-3MA, and SolarWind—when they all align into one color, that represents the current trend.
Pay close attention to support and resistance reversal zones.
How I Simplify Entries Using ICT & SMC Concepts:
When price reaches support or resistance and forms a PR (Price Reaction),
Then, when the trend indicators (Jurik + Xu-3MA + SolarWind) align into one color,
That’s my entry signal!
Exit when SolarWind changes color.
This method simplifies execution while maintaining high accuracy!
Goodluck!
