    Bike ride to leave for in 15mins so quick days check!!

    DAX, nice entry called then run up, I think I called a short there before I went out, went 40 in total, chop range called well, worth enough to play, but the BB calls it pretty close to be amazed to be fair, squish zone over lunch / into news, then break out to low, join for loads of pips!

    Back in range, uptrend called and got.

    8/10 which is as near to perfect as your going to get, can I still screw it up, YES LOL


    EA looking sweet to!!

    Time is out!! :) MTB time!

    Still feeling good about this, 80% accurate on Range trades, ie don't become trend, and range pull backs with trend also 80% area.

    Busy few days, will try to trade it live tomorrow, if I get any time!

    Uncanny, on the with trend or no trend reversal calls from a simple BB, impressed.

    ZERO time to trade for the next week mind :(

    2 BBs confusing stuff, just a 13 with a 24 sma to trade with looks key at the moment.

    Tired, too much shite and work, BB range much better than fixed envelope, rather than breakout trades before, i have walking the line trades, range tightens so better entry.

    Another week of hell work wise, Wednesday free only :(

    -$340 on the week, only traded monday really, last trade being BB method and profitable slightly, annoying it went like 1K on it's own I think but hey!!

    BB gives better entries and a better picture of the MoMo, much better in fact.

    I REALLY like the Squeeze where the BB's narrow then you get a big move on the breakout of that squeeze.

    Trusting it and trading it live, not against it is key, still want the big $500+ profit moves, they wipe out many small losers in 1 go, without those the week before would of been seriously negative, loads of small losers, written off by 3 or 4 good runners.

    Progress, despite negative money this week.

    Nervous break down imminent ?? well maybe, TIRED, Stressed, too much work still, to many tossers I work with, I need out and soon for health reasons.

    Trying to do an objective hit BB reversal, only take both sided flat or with the trend, dictated by the 24sma.

    Simple, Worked ( went +10 ), SL hit ( 10 ) W/S!

    Yeah got bored, skipping through, it works, trusting and using live are the upcoming issues.

    Okay it's a Monday, so expect weak, but with no BIG moves , I've got zero chance of making good $$$'s, been watching most of the day aswell, zero trades though!

    BB's an improvement, sadly I fear, this is pretty much the best optimization wise I can get, is it enough ?? find out next week, when the work calms down!!

    20pip moves, will do mind :)

    Markets to slow, no momo no follow through at all, yes i can play the ranges but there 50/50 at best, with minimal upside.

    Us30, gold and oil are dead aswell so who knows.

    Only dax is useable at all, comms on EA wipe out average move :(



    Mission out come is doubtful, moral is Low as F##K.

    DAX, only lets do the numbers, if I'vd of traded today, Positive or Negative.

    IF Neg, what do I change / fix whatever to solve this issue of Damn Slow markets!! :(

    Can't sit out, with Zero income when I'm full time for long, 1 or 2 days fair enough, week or 2, NO!! :(

    Rules...... Not interesting in chop so 24sma based trend plays only, no trend, no play, lets count the trend changes I guess!

    okay am ( I was asleep ), down +20, fake turn up -10, downtrend entry +15, turns up entry goes 40 say.

    Actually wasn't that bad, just tired and need to grow a pair!!

    Well, looking like, only way to long term beat this is..............

    1. Trade DAX only!
    2. Trade the range of the BB with trend if there is 1.
    3. Be SUPER careful on the entry, so if long lower BB, needs to be flat to up and very near.
    4. Need to get in near the Low of that little range.
    5. Need SL danger close ( why DAX only, 1/3 comms cost to EA )
    6. Let them RUN, if they run ofcourse.
    7. While trading, 100% focus required, yep time to get serious!! :(

    That's the only way to long term beat this, it doesn't require great markets and it works always.
