Overview
Entry and exit signals from the Double 7's Strategy by Larry Connors in his book "Short Term Trading Strategies That Work".
Larry claims this strategy predicted the market's direction over 80% of the time since 1995. Picking up the gains and being exposed in the market less than 25% of the time.
Good for swing trading on Daily charts of SPY, Nasdaq, China's FXI, Brazil's EWZ and the majority of the equity ETFs and World Indices.
How does it work?
The indicator activates the buy signal when we close at a 7-day low above the 200-period moving average.
The exit signal is when we close at a 7-day high.
There is no entry signal for selling, just buying.
How to use it?
Enter the trade with a market order as soon as the candle closes with the buy signal.
There is no stop loss order neither take profit order.
Exit the trade with a market order as soon as the candle closes with the exit signal.
Tip:
- Despite the author not recommending the use of a stop loss order, you can place one at the 200-period moving average just to be safe against unexpected sudden crashes and protect your capital.
