    Okay scoring, what IF game, presume in efficent entry / exit to be fair as not perfect and never shall be!

    This is where I realise, Envelope 17sma 0.13% KICKS ASS on this day!!

    That's NICE, you take the 4 entry with the 10's direction, then take the 10 entry with the 17's direction.

    17 is a better range, when 17 is flat for chop.
    17 is also a good target / exit point

    17 worked to a point, might aswell include anything that works and it vaguely compatible into this I guess!

    MTB to setup for MUD! TV to watch as I do it, then SLEEP!!

    $50 on EU, can nearly double my lot siza, margin and spread and comms are really low, as I'm very much becoming a range scalper, hateful EU becomes bareable.

    Not liking this today dropped another $100 in no time.


    Tweaking to suite the action, hoping it sticks.

    Back to 6sma and envelope 6 sma 0.05%

    Stop trading ranges based on an envelope, look for clusters to reverse.

    Look for more entrys with the 6 Sl out side of the 6.

    Or in flat markets, play off clusters, danger zone tight SLs

    I need to run 2 methods..... Sob sob sob... Know around it, SL is to bug for 1 position and ranges arent accurate enough.

    Changes lot size well remembering is a pain.

    So if 24 sma is flat then range 2 positions, if not with trend, single position.

    Hassle hassle


    -$90 so far today, trading badly, distracted and broken!

  10. Perhaps there is no magic moving avg and envelope settings? Any thoughts on scrapping that search and re tooling with a new method?
