No trading for me today. I was in the hospital at 6AM for eye surgery and three hours later I was home. However, for today I can only see out of my left eye and I feel a bit dizzy, so I'm not going to risk it. Might not be trading tomorrow either. I ...

I was going through my old 4-9-18 journal and this is still one of my own personal favorites for trading the rocky method. Look at that brock size ... 10 renko on the ES lol If you tried a 10 renko on the ES now that chart would probably show almost ...

hi rocky, I understand how you are using the ADX. Would you mind sharing a few words on how the MACD fits in with your current approach. I've looked at a bunch of your charts and I just haven't been able to figure it out. Thanks!

Some things that helped me in the early days of the rocky method: 1) 9:15 to 9:30 AM Eastern(pre-market): I trade the premarket. However, as we get closer to the NYSE open, I get more cautious. I trail my stop tighter. If I am close to my profit ...

You and are of the same mind. ABA! Ed777 can tell you I've been working with an excel spreadsheet of a while that I use to show that applying the principle of compounding to a small consistent profit you take a small amount into the millions much ...

I have Rob's Strat course and it is a nice, simple method. His sudden death this past summer shook me. He was a good dude.

Trading TheStrat / Rob Smith's Method

The best thing anyone can do if this is the method you really want to run with is to participate here. So many come here and "get ready to get ready" and then they are gone and you see they are "strategy bouncing" like the video posted above talks ...

It looks like I am using a slightly older version of ninjatrader than you are using, rocky.

Which one, rocky? The colorized ema? This is the version of Ninjatrader I am using (it is desktop and not web based version): image

This is really not something you should be looking to do. Are you using Ninjatrader and are you intending to trade futures, e.g. MES/ES or MNQ/NQ?

Great video! Thanks for sharing! For any one new to the rocky method (or any other method that you've chosen to work on), this 12 1/2 minute video would be a great morning mindset video to watch each day BEFORE trading. Great video with a lot of ...

You can learn a lot about how these renko candles signal trades, in my opinion, by comparing these tow areas marked on the chart. In the first case, that trade would probably have been a small loss. My 1st target on NQ/MNQ is 45 ticks, and I don't ...

Don't overthink that or you'll fail. Use your eyes. I have terrible eyesight. In fact. I had eye surgery two weeks ago and I have another surgery on Monday. If I can see it, you can see it. Don't overthink it. You don't need an indicator for ...

To give a little more background, I use the 34 ema with the rocky renko method much the same way that Laura uses the 200 SMA with the 8 ema bands with her roadmap method. I don't take credit for anything. All the ideas I use that work are stolen ...

When I was new ro the rocky method, I'd have taken at least two short trades in the area I circled, and both would have stopped me out for losses. Using the 34 ema criteria, I was not tempted to short in that mess. The 34 ema had started to "flatten ...

In the past I have posted that I like to use another ema to help either with entry or with "filtering." The ema that I prefer to use with the rocky method, after much experimentation, is the 34 ema. If both 8 ema's are above the 34 ema, I only take ...

When NQ starts putting in these huge range days, I will increase brick to 21. Sometimes I have gone as large as 34. I usually stick to fib #'s for brick sizes, e.g. 1,2,5,8,13,21,34 ... The smallest I have ever used was 2 renko, and only in bonds ...

I am using 13 brick and usually trading the MNQ rather than the NQ these days. Like any other instrument you will have to play with it to get it to "look" how you want it to look, i.e. gives you the opportunities you are looking for, let's you out ...
