Sajha Traders Unite...Strategy

Hey Samsara, I did talk about the strategy in my other thread but people seemed more interested in stock picks than strategy.

Here is one of my favourites; MACD Histogram, BBs and ADX for intraday futures. All three can be used to identify the strength of a trend. In a strongly trending market all three will show strength or weakness together, otherwise it is a range bound market where you use the Histogram divergence and BBs to fade the move.

After that 10% of the battle is picking the right time frame and 80% is the ability to manage risk. I will love to share what I know but I did not share futures strategy in my other thread because it is way riskier than stocks. With stocks if you can identify the macro trend, you can make money and the market is more forgiving but with futures you can identify the macro trend and still lose money because of the leverage.

I haven't done anything with Treasuries but know a little about ag commodities and spreads. Currently I'm reading Dynamic Hedging by Taleb. Do you have any suggestions for good options or forex books?
