over the 30, 5 flat, 10 up, looking rough, no follow through should of take $60+ and ran hey! But trying to pick a trend and hold longer, failing or what today! Still liking the action from method, A LOT!!
Yeah yeah yeah yeah, SL hit -$56 again, it's working, use of / bad random chances costing me. ONWARD!! Failing to exit, as I wanted my previous losses back, ie 12 pips illogical!!
Okay, 5 called it UP and it kicked my ass AGAIN, gettng ANNOYED!! -$79 this is getting costly, but hey, didn't have chance to tighten SL, moved to fast for manual exit I should of been joining the 5 long, but was below 30, too damn choppy. Not using the 5 really, 20pips on offer if used right! -£251 so far in total, 5% so nothing really. Going for a walk, chill out a bit, eat a cake LOL Come back, quick 20pt move my way and hey presto I'm BE on the day again LOL
It's trying to make me give this method up by kicking me ass, don't think so, not this time, I feel a 100pt mover in my near future! Shame I can't run DAX SL's tighter, it's my 1 limiting function, needs to move my way can't set less than -6 I think, auto open at -10 or it fails frequently and if I'm a pt or 2 down then I can't improve it. FX I seem to be able to run closer, thankfully!
1 plus side to this method, I've got very well defined SL rules, tight entries, yes BAD run, but never once did I think about, moving SL and averaging down cause I'm on the right side I tell you. I know what's happening, I know it's 50/50 ish as lack of strong trend and I'm accepting a small risk for the chance of a larger profit. Believe it or not, this is PROGRESS!!
Tad more patience, bit less enthusiasm and here we go again, give up at -$500 for the day. Lets ROCK!!!
PLayed the low of range on the 5, which had turned up, 34 seconds, out +$113. didn't mean to exit to be honest, I changed to 1 click trading as I keep, placing, waiting hesitating the missing trades, forgot hit close and beep closed, expected Cancel OK box doh!! Will get used to!
