    How you say Ka-ching, Ka-ching, Ka-ching, Ka-ching, on the way up?

    When the 18 is sloping hard, take retracements off the 9 or 10 what you using.

    Right 2 different market types issue, use wrong 1 expect losses.

    1. 24sma range based, itll bang its head and bounce around both, low volume fast movement.

    2. Im in 6sma envelope ranges, play the direction if strong and the ranges, if trending 0.04 should hold, if 6 goes flat the range extends to 0.08.


    No trades, mad day, having a study day.

    24BB 2.2 works better for 24s range.

    If i call the wrong market, i still want okay odds on a profit, lower obviously and lesser profit wise.

    No trades today, rough day all round :(

    Liking the 24 2.2 BB.

    Yes, I'm bolting together, different methods which weren't quite enough to work all the time on there own, trying to find the right combination of those which had some merit, but not enough on there own.

    Work tomorrow, pretty free next week.

    Too tired, confidence shot from those last setups that failed, just watched setup work perfectly :( went +$100 to lol

    Still trying to pick bottoms in a downtrend, but failinng to pick tops in an uptrend, that 1 that blew through is what i fear.

    Bb 24 speed upto 18 2.2 fitting perfectly.


    Will dax now lower 18 bb is flat reverse upward or break down, 8s pretty flat to.

    -$31 on the week here, not the dream, but not enough tomcare about.

    Lack of sleep, daughter CRAZY issues, work ruining my ability to think straight :(

    Lower held ( no chart up ), double bottom to, next move up took out upper, so expect trend join near 8sma and ride it.

    Lets see if that holds out lol

    More volatility than usual on Dax, had to increase mental risk, also trade BB and retrace trades on QEC and QJY . I have rules if price not hitting BB on S/R trades, I consider them weak and cut back size, most of time that works to my favor and often times have to lock in one tick faster. I always use 3 bar time stops to either lock in one tick or make that my New target at end of 3 bars if trade in negative.

    See if I can get an hour of sleep

    I didn't wake up to trade more Dax or currencies, too pooped, traded usually ES.

    Friday's = Get In, Get Out, Goodbye made my small Goals and reduced size.

    Kiss of Death refers to patterns at end of moves, they often happen near or within variances of Swing Averages. Current Swing "mean" is 8.00 points in ES, "they" pushed price to trigger stops, reversal bar on high volume, normally I use 3 bar Time Stops, but risk was acceptable to extend time for move down, unlike many, the greatest I can ever make scalping is 3pts as very rigid rules, plus averaging down is added risks. I never recommend to ave down as I know most will never do enough back testing, must have very low losing percentages which often times only Scalpers can do cause length of time in trades is small. I have only known two traders in my lifetime that have over 90% profitable trades, been trading over ten years each that go for homerun profits. I never was able to develop the skills nor the patience to sit there all day with same trade. Enclosed are but half the signals I use to scalp as I make many trades.

    Hey all, have a warm happy weekend, me going to Starbucks, O'le.
