 The Pullback 20 - Trading System

 Tools needed
 8 EMA
 20 SMA
 50 SMA
 5 min.- 15 min.- and 1-hour charts
 I use no other indicators.

 OK, let’s get started.

 -First, look for a trend direction on the 5 min. chart.

 -Then look to the 15 min. and 1-hour charts, make sure all three align in the
same trend direction using the 50 SMA.

 -Go back to the 5 min. chart and look for set-ups, all my trades are taken
from the 5 min, chart.

 -A set-up is when price pulls back away from the trend direction
momentarily and usually pulls back into the 20 SMA, once price starts
returning back to the trend I wait until price closes below or above (Buy or
Sell) the 8 EMA then I’m in at the start of the next candle.

 -I scalp 3 to 8 pips depending on how strong the trend looks. Sometimes


price will go through the 20 SMA during the pullback and head for the
50 SMA, then again once price resumes the trend and closes above or
below the 8 EMA... I’m in the trade.

 -I always put two trades on, I scalp one and let the other go capturing more
pips while placing the Stop loss at breakeven.

 -This system can be used on any time frame in a non-scalp longer term
trade situation, just adjust your charts accordingly.
 -Stop loss placement is up to you what you feel comfortable with. I place
my stopples 15 pips out but I've never let a bad trade get stopped out, I pay
attention to what’s going on and get out when I think the trade has broken
down!

 -I don't usually trade for more than 2 1/2 to 3 hours getting around 70 to
100 pips a session during the NY open.

 I never second guess myself when I spot a set-up, I'm in the trade if all my
rules apply...Consistency pays the bills.

 This is an easy trading system to tweak and make your own.


 I hope someone has the success I have daily with this simple but effective
trading strategy.

 Good luck,
 Jerry P.
