  3. How long did it took : how many days?
    One big thing is the patience to get accounts to grow.

    Years not days, most if the gain was in a year, obviously $$$ amount increases as the account grows.

    Notice method unchanged in 2 months, Bollinger Bands much better than envelopes, self optom
    izing :)

    Only the 1 trade +7pts on DAX, nearly made 3 or 4 more on the phone, saw them, hesitated and to late :(

    Getting my head around it, the 7 and 13 BB variables work well together, pretty much just playing the range, or reversals when the BB's suggest low of range these days, needs to join the 7 for the dashes aswell.

    Low volume, no follow through today, made it tricky.

    Got next 2 days pretty much clear to bone down.

    I'll start booking hours like I do with work and paying myself £30 per hour from the account, for time spend activity trading come 1st Jan I guess!

    Maybe, that'll focus my mind enough to trade, actual money for trades ( win or lose, if the account can take it ofcourse )

    Treat it like a JOB!! :(

    Loser -5, Moved SL to tight, didn't allow for Bid going CRAZY, could of made +4pts maybe to.

    US30 was trending down, figured the setup to good on the DAX to follow it, sadly didn't play ball.

    No worries, NEXT!!
