    Its gettng there, worrying too much about losing = hold to broke.

    On trend change against take loss, flip it, if it runs maje 5xs back, simple logic.

    Method is fine, gets some losers but cant tune them all out.

    Try to trade tomorrow am, before beach.

    Had a littele play 3 trades +179.

    Trade 1 nice 8 0.03 entry stalling took a quick 80. Perfect.

    Trade 2 and 3 i averaged down, made 100 bucks saw -240,held counter trend, missed my upper 8 0.03 exits for near BE, i know i would of held for a pull back, just got lucky.

    I exited right before that crazy sell off thankfully, went higher thought damn it,then boom.

    Tough to crack, all happens so quick, runs to the 0.03 like it will break through and 2 seconds later its 5pts lower and crap.

    Entry is good ie perfect, would of got me into a stack of 30-60pt moves earlier, moves worth risking 15pts for.

    Keep working on.

    Weather better, few nice ladies in bikinis zero topless and forecast looking like next 2 days trading days :(

    EU and GU trading near perfect with my setup, just have to change chart to M5,then it looks identical, but slower and less scarey :)

    Might work better at work :)

    No way dax tradeable m5 too damn nuts, brexit and US news making it very scarey indeed, up 1 second and in a huge hole the next, never the opposite strangely. Entries falling for trap for sure.

    Bought the pull back on this up move, should of gotten the start move.

    Us30 hadnt reacted, nearly jumped on that in the hope it would follow, went 40pts.

    +307 on the day, lost wifi and 3g, sat there thinking long pause, nooooo, airplane mode and off, in profit nicely just took it, could of went very badly.

    Found a cracking local hooker for 80euros, tempted, if not for having a cold she’d be here lol

    Lining up a local 1 for my return make up for the crappy weather, currently hard rain :(

    Up 384 last trade +80, was down badly, us30 strong, dax didnt follow, held over news, could of blown 500 easily there so bad trade.

    Didnt take exits and flip like hit and reverse so damn quick, perfect exit before dumping afain mind.

    Lets call that a day, maybe later go out look at the sea i think.

    Added for longer term kinda view, envelope 18sma 0.02, dont fight against plan.

    Missed a 30pt move based on the 18.

    Up 30% today 1 hour of trading time.

    Margin 200:1 currently, back off to 100:1 above 6k so 2x$20 per pt positions or 1 at 40pp.

    Target 20k then drop to 50:1, withdraw back to weekly then 2x30pp positions, so $2100 today profit as x’s 3, bank immediately i think.

    50% for me :) 50% in a trade bad day account till that hits 20k, blow account, week off, back in or do 5k damage say, bang back to 20k carry on regardless.

    Thats the plan, then 5k to 10k per month profit is the goal.

    Bigger single day profit i think $$$$s and %%%%%s wise, continue up or get slapped hard next trade? Find out soon, expect more slaps to come.

    NEW 18 tests well, not going to make it a rule, only trade long if bla bla but good confidence builder.

    Market conditions via a 5sma all look the same, breaking it down to its most simple and still trading it not against it.

    Getting ass out of the fire is getting there, need to focus more on the whats at risk potential than the individual loss, do what the method says switch brain off, click first, think never!

    Up 11, shorted, 5 turned up bowed out, didn't quite get my long entry point that and worried about 8am news.

    Nice spike upto top range, reverse and turn on cue.

    Too crazy, on hold till calmed down.

    This is getting to easy :)
