    I have 3 weeks to get to where I want to be, but knackered hurting brain too much, then a week in the sun on a beach to recover mental state, then all being well, back to taking setups like an emotionless robot.

    I fixed myself before, similar method of trading, made loads like loads, then had a bad day, 3k loss freaked me out in minutes, back to trading like a newbie.

    Why i reduced margin from 200:1 to 50:1 and psychically restrict trade size, to 1 position, with margin call pretty close as a backup SL incase i have a bad day, stop me going backwards again.


    Knowing I cant lose 3k, 30% that quick again also helps, well black swan events ofcourse.


    i'm on the jazz and I love it when a plan comes together! ( A Team quote )

    Looking GREAT, but it's still, I should take this trade, nahhhh can't bring myself to, ohhh it worked and it worked again and again and again.

    And cause it's less counter trendy ( in theory, practice we'll see ), if works bigger, ie more pips :)

    DAX perfect reversal off the 12's low so far, get in low in the 6, with the chance of the 12 carrying it higher. might work, SL tight!!

    US open in 2mins, not ideal time!!

    GA's tracking down aswell, slow like but definately 6 calling lower highs.

    Long 98, first trade screw up, SOP!! LOL

    the 12's direction had changed, should of shorted the top of the 6, I didn't adapt in time, 100% my bad!!

    Spike down and reverse, good odds it'll reverse up from here anyway!

    Set a TP, why ohhh why am I holding counter trend, and HOPING this is ridiculous, grown man and a scientist, TP hit at 95 before the break down -$37

    Here is the chart.

    1. I made the get in low plan, for continuation of uptrend, dictated by the yellow dots, being 12Envelope.
    2. At this point ( BLIND ), market tests and rejects off the upper 6, didn't realise that 12 was actually going down, so therefore shorting here is actually right.
    3. Realised wrong side, set TP to get out near the top of the 6 range, thankfully :)


    Entering where the 12 and 6 are going the same way, towards the top of the 6 if short, and bottom if long, is literally all there is to it, SL outside of the 12, which gives it good spike protection.

    GA Long, at low 11, it's flat ish dictation chop, but 120ema gives me a up kicker, making it worth the risk.

    6 is flattening, we shall see.

    48.2 crap entry after the fact, who knew!!

    BLIP down, SL hit, Noooooo!!!

    -$93, I'm CURSED I swear!!!

    Direction change again, after I got in, 2nd time in a row ( Last trade was Broker error ).

    Method called it just fine, I adapted and got out cheap on the DAX, I was about to flip sides then spike and too late :(


    Chart..........

    1. Was where I went long and instantly SL'd, BOLLOX
    2. Went long, figuring 12 range, back to highs, wayyy to high to be honest.
    3. This is where I should of shorted, 12 and 6 down, obvious really, kinda.

    I need mid trend entries.

    Feck!!!
