The RTS 315 trading system uses the 3 minute and 15 minute timeframes to identify short term trends for scalping trades. It looks for signals on the MACD and stochastic indicators to determine entry and exit points. The system was created by Georgetrio for new traders to help them understand price action and trends. Traders are advised to backtest the system and only risk small amounts per trade.
1. R T S 3 1 5
Name
RTS stands for Real Time Scalping.
The number 3 indicates the three minutes
time frame but 15 relates to the fifteen
minutes chart. Traders should use these
two time frames. The fifteen minutes time
is for prior verification and the three
minutes time for signals and entry points.
Purpose
To scalp and to take quick and fast profit
consistently at low risk entry points.
Twenty to fifteen pips or thirty.
Sometimes more but one must secure the
first twenty pips before a winning trade
becomes a loser. It is for riding short term
trends and to avoid wrong timing. The key
word is short term trend.
2. Background
The RTS 315 is the first trading system
created and used by Georgetrio, founder of
www.stochastic-macd.com and
www.youtube.com/georgetrio. It is not a
perfectly built system but its careful use
can assist new traders. It is a gift to all
members of www.stochastic-macd.com.
As a new trader, I delight in trading mainly
the EURUSD, Dow Jones and the FTSE
100. Like all new traders, I was cutting
corners. Never check the economic news
and did not understand how to apply the
trading triangle or the market stable data.
However, I have noticed that the fast
MACD (8,34,9) is an excellent tool that
highlights short term trends. Equally the
slow stochastic (6,3,3)
was pinpointing various support and
resistance levels. These were my
observations. Nothing more. Traders
should test rigorously this simple tool in
view to perfect it.
3. OUR GOAL
To assist ordinary traders. It does mean to
trade for them or to help them but to guide
them until they too can understand this
messy market. As I always say, no trading
system will ever replace a trader. The
most important trading tool is the trader. It
may take time, patience and perseverance
but those who truly want to trade like a pro
will slowly but surely get there. Always
use the five per cent money management
rules, start with a demo account and go
steadily.

11. New Traders
New traders should endeavour to master
both bullish and bearish signal 2.
More Experienced Traders
Experienced traders should use trend lines
instead of MACD. They should focus on
the price, the number indicator; draw all
support and resistance lines. One can use
channels to determine both bullish and
bearish momentum.
12. Other issues
The higher time frames command lower
time frames. This is not a perfect trading
system. It is my first trading system when
I was a new trader and I present it here just
as I was using it before. You may notice
other signals or better the system for your
own use. I leave it to you.
Prior verification
The prior verification is useful when one is taking typical
bullish or bearish signals.
For typical bullish signal it is vital that the
price is above SMA 20 on the 15 minutes
chart. On the other hand, when the price is
below SMA 20 on the fifteen minutes
chart, typical bearish signals offer low risk
trades. The prior verification is for risk
13. control. As always one should take a
bullish signal at a valid support level and
bearish signal at a valid resistance zone.
Traders should apply the definition of
uptrend and downtrend to filter out false
signals. The first target for all bullish
trades is the first and nearest resistance
level. On the other hand, a bearish first
target is the first and nearest support level.
