A lot more feels like control over shorter term, keeps the losses tiny, then don't get emotional, move SL average down, repeat till margin call, the old i can't be this unlucky it'll turn death. If its working, don't fix it
The same system does not work on different days. For example my system works best on trend days like Friday. Your system sure works best on a side day like Wednesday. Every day is not the same.
My Previous method worked great on strong intraday trend moves, there easy if you have the balls to join and let it ride, then last Monday getting chopped to death getting to +5pts, before heading to tight SL, death by a 1000nd cuts. Bollinger Band BB was the answer, try a BB 12sma 2.0 works on all TF's, I can see when to trade Trend or Range finally, this issue has only taken 5years to crack LOL If the Range is enough Pips away then I'll trade the trend and take profit near BB unless it breaks out while I'm holding which is rare. If Price between and BB outter lines flat then expect market to trade range, if there going going in a direction or price outside then look to join that direction. Looks Great on NQ and YM, D1 and H4.
