    Another +75 but wasn't a good trade, had 100 briefly, then had to average way out which is a crap shoot really.

    Tweaking, need all in fast out method, stop the averaging, make enough on chop to make worthwhile then.

    Sma 5
    Envelope 5sma 0.02 tighter, jump on short term direction strength.

    Envelope 12 0.04 , chop range and direction to trade with.

    Got to crack this letting them run against me, getting silly.

    Never trade on a friday, never trade half asleep, cost me 500 bucks :(

    Took short based on 5 missed 2nd entry, looking at setting a SL, is off to profit, 5 turned up, 12 still down held it to see, to 2nd just as it ran 25 in seconds against me arseee!

    5s only!

    Not methods fault, worked great rest of the day, sadly tasked elsewhere, so no chance to get it back, just bad random chance that move happened, rest of the day, called the tops and and bottoms in moderate trend nicely.

    SL might of gotten me out quicker, but entering the number is a PAIN and slow, and leaves me open to get crushed, while doing it :( never easy!!

    Disapointing week -750 :( week before up 1110.

    Today, I could see the 5 had turned up, almost killed it, shouldn't of took the 2nd entry, risk too high, then just random dumb luck on a huge move happening like that at a none news time :(

    Yesterday, was bad holding counter trend.

    Improving and getting worse same time!!

    Next week, try harder I guess, you'd think just once it would jump and run my way, but hell no :(

    Okay, method no more changing...... EVER!!!

    5sma
    Envelope 5sma 0.03%
    12sma
    Envelope 12sma 0.05%

    Trades off the charts performance wise, 1 BAD luck, 1 failing to exit timely this week ruined my mellow.

    Plan the week, monday school runs but trade between ( expect SLOW markets ), Tuesday work then who knows!!

    Operation, live off this crap can commence SOON!!
