Bob McGuire on MarketMaster:
============================

For some time now, I have been looking for a way to 
trade the market during the day in an efficient, 
easy and economical way. I have talked to a lot of 
friends; most do not have any tick data and the ones 
who do have as many different ways to day trade as 
there are different people day trading. Some use 
cycles, some use chart patterns, a few use lagging 
indicators, such as relative strength or stochastics. 
I can't comment on their methods, as this would 
compromise any secrets I may have inadvertently 
discovered.

After trying a few trading systems during the day, 
I noticed that the time bars during the day (5 min, 
15 min, 30 min, and 60 min) very often behave quite 
similarly to daily bar charts. I thought that most 
trading systems that work well on daily charts 
should work really well on smaller time bar charts. 
After thinking about it a while, I decided that it 
would be tough to adapt many position trading systems 
to day trading, as most of the systems that work 
don't use a computer and would take a lot of time 
to chart after each bar was formed, perhaps longer 
than the time bar was good for. I had to find 
something that worked, and worked fast.

Most day trading systems use information from the 
previous day to enable you to take action the next 
day during the opening, or at a specific price. 
If that is the case, you cannot tell if, during the 
day, a minor change in trend, one or two days, 
occurred.

I finally got some tick data I could play with from 
Tick Data in Colorado. I loaded it into my MetaStock 
in all sorts of time frames and checked out all sorts 
of the prepackaged lagging indicators, such as MACD, 
etc. on the data. Nothing really worked. Then, I 
remembered [MarketMaster]... and thought I would give 
it a try... I thought I would try SFU [Swiss franc] 
for the month of June, which was a very flat month, 
only a little over a two-point month from top to 
bottom. MarketMaster works by taking a bar, such as 
high, low and close for the day and measuring the 
strength and weakness. There is a confirmation line, 
a moving average line and an indicator line.

Your signal comes when the indicator line passes 
through the confirmation line. Wait till the second 
bar is analyzed to make certain that the indicator 
stays on that side of the line and go short or long 
at the next opening. This amount of time is OK since 
MarketMaster is a leading indicator and will probably 
give you a signal early. I chose to put in hourly bar 
charts instead of daily, as the shorter term trend was 
what I was looking for. This would also give me plenty 
of time to work on the system between trades. It takes 
17 bars of information to get a meaningful signal, so 
my first signal was not until the 5th of June at 12:20 
pm.

Trading it on paper, not using any stops and constantly 
being in the market one way or another, it made 8 trades 
for the month of June: 7 completed, of which 1 trade was 
a loss for 6 ticks. The one loss trade did go into the 
loss column by almost a point before changing to another 
direction for only a 6 tick loss. The trades worked like 
this +19, +92, +104, +24, +75, -6, -22, for a profit of 
+286 [ticks, or 132%] for the month. The first trade of 
+19 was the tail end of a much larger trade started the 
month before and the last trade, which shows a small loss, 
was just started as a long trade at 11:20 CST on the 28th 
and carried to the next month. There was a huge gap up on 
July 1st, making that trade actually a big winner in the 
end.

I love to experiment with this stuff so I called my broker 
to see if he would help me trade it. We've got no problem 
there, for he is a full-service broker. What I need is the 
high low and last in the hourly bar charts which must be 
gathered and input to the computer every hour. I am like a 
lot of traders and can't watch a screen all day, but I 
could enter figures once an hour. The hourly bar charts 
work fine for SFU. I suspect that the S&P 500 may be able 
to run on 30 min bars, but I haven't tested that yet. To 
work on shorter than an hour, you would need your own tick 
data and bar charts and a second computer to run 
MarketMaster so that you don't interrupt your data gathering.
