Monday is reserved for trading day except school run, no pressure but damn I need to keep making and stop giving it all back in 1 quick go. To hell with the personality less bankers, less Ferraris for you guys, I’m taking a small slice of your pie, about 2 ferrari tyres.
Got 2 screens with old Envelope setup and new BB setup. BB 20 1.0 and 2.0 Envelope 5sma 0.02 for fast moves. Trying to go with a single direction, enter near 20sma with trend SL out to 1.0 or 2.0 if entered near 1.0. 2 variables confuse me and create zero trades. Flat markets, trade BB range. Fast momo join the 5. Trundling up low 5E is calling the lows. Slowwwww today, no trades
Definately looks like more percieved information, useful ?? Just reversed up off the low 2.0 BB, hit the high 2.0 BB and stopped, but then continued higher with the 20sma's direction. Other Envelope based chart, not a clue what's going on as Envelopes are too wide for this slow market, BB self sets itself. Market failed to make new highs and is threating to turn down, bit more confidence then look for a cheap SL entry to join short, risk 7 to make 30 plan.
BB method called short entry at H1.0 11332 - SL hit 11340 -8, reading as uptrend, still WEAK!! Envelope method, no entry, reading as uptrend Both pulling back, both saying Long @29, SL BB 23 , Env 18 Too weak to call anything, off to work see what it did then, back in Demo mode while I decide which way to go!!
Cant get head around BBs, back to Envelopes, there to confusing dont trust them. Made 90 just live, but didnt feel good, sloppy entries got lucky it spiked up nothing more.
Got lucky, spike i exited on being scared reversed and world of got sl. SL was to far away, 2 positions looking at a 250 loss of not for getting lucky first time ever ever. Fixing method arghhhh
Still not happy, going simpler. Envelope 5sma 0.02% Envelope 9sma 0.04% Envelope 13sma 0.06% Simple rules, play the ranges with direction, play the 5 range and the 9 range, or the 9 and the 13, SL on 13 failing, weaker markets leave entry to near the 13 0.06%. Simpler, more logical, easier to see direction and trade it and SL not as huge as last trade, wayyy to scarey!! No MORE Searching!!
And it's the time of day I test the new fangled better than ever before, watch it fail miserably live method, getting too old for this plan of random method's and trialing and deleting LOL DAX Nov 6th 8am start GO!! Why every time I sit down to trade or demo trade I get a sneezing attack, every damn time!! Between, sneezes, major downtrend, currently sideways between the 13E Broke up, to thin to call after that selloff. 5 Rules, 2 positions max, Long 11493 - SL 79 , 2nd 11485 - SL 79 - just held on out 94 +1 +9 not worth the risk, 5 entry issue!! 5 - Short 89 SL 99 - basing exit 80 +9 Short near 9 11483 - SL 89 NICE exit 11449 + 40, dropped off the planet that 1!! Wait 20mins after a major move, not here to gamble! All Envelopes back inside, volatility over maybe ?? Nope CHOPPY As fuck!! Okay, looks to be over downward, Short 11462 - SL 11469 SL hit, waited for continuation FAILED!! -7 Long 11460 we'll see, if going up SL 52 - Repeat saw 72 hit SL -8 Envelope 13sma 0.06 looking at being poor!! Missed a turn up cause of 0.06, should of took SL under the 5's range. Running it again Envelope 11 0.07 Envelope 7 0.05 Envelope 5 0.03
Use 11 for direction, not really for SL, make the 7sma's 8 sma aswell. Turning down, short 11490 - SL 95 - SL hit - 5 Down short 11486 - sL 92 - dropped off got in early Exit 40 +46 ish This is cheating, onto another day!!
26th September 9am Uptrend Long 12353 - exit 60 +7 Sideways chop Long 12353 - SL 47 - exit 62 +9 Flip short 62 - SL 69 - Exit 50 - +12 other side of range. Flip Long 51 - exit 64 +13 gaining upward not flipping Cluster Long 58 - SL 51 - didn't hit exit stuck in - turning down out 51 +3 Range L 54 - exit 61 + 7 BOREDD!! 5 Envelope is USELESS, runs out of steam to often deleting!! Make it Envelope 8sma 0.01 + Envelope 8sma 0.04 and Env 12sma 0.06 tighter!! 1:30pm still going, been a SLOW day!! Short 8 0.01 rule, 12349 - SL 12355 - exit 44 +5 Adding 22 0.01 longer trend filter back in. Short 12341 - SL 48 - exit 36 +5 Short 12341 - SL 12346 - exit BE too quick to get bottom!! 22 up, Long 12343 SL 39 Over stayed SL hit -4 22 makes Env 12 obselete, DELETE LOL Slow 8 to 9.
