    Trade #1 US30 short -60 saw +100 but kinda expected a huge break down.

    Trade #2 US30 Long as looked to be turning up but alas not yet.

    Trade #2 didn't break up, repeat -60

    Trade #3 Dax short as I missed US30's start, looking good

    Method behaving as expected!!!

    Got into a setup, which didn't go anywhere twice in a row, which is likely, held too long but aiming for bigger profits than +80.

    Traded the next hour when it's busier then good 40pt setups and all would of been rosey. near 100 into the close aswell damn it.

    NO chance trading tomorrow and too tired to care, back at it 100% Smashing it Monday.

    The 6 is becoming more important and kinda tradeable on it's own, but think it needs the 18 still, so I see no need to change anything :)

    Trade Setup, don't worry about the outcome, REPEAT until rich or dead!

    SLEEP!!! SLEEP! SLEEP!! this trying to get trading 100% figured out is very very tiring!!!

    Okay changed it, last time i swear....


    The 18ranges where there to try to get around slow chop, failed obviously, so removed.

    The 6 was working great so expanded upon?

    Envelope 6sma 0.01 and 0.04, 0.01 being direction to enter with and range, break below likely turn, sl at 0.04 sone breathing room.
    14Ema try to trade with direction.

    Logic join 6 direction within 0.01, if 0.01 fails then expect turn jump on new direction.

    Simpler less of a decision tree always key.

    Dont trade at slow times ie currently.

    Weekly round up, not a good week too busy, method change started calling entries at breakout which led to much pain lol but led to new method so all good, learning.

    -$300 on the week, 20 trades, 12 losers, 4 new methods lol

    -$300 is 1 good trade so nothing to care about.

    Us30 turning down, normally consider pull back golong, but know new direction play short.

    Start working on my main issue, TIME!!! and people hassling and ringing me and chatting or worse messaging me and distracting me from the task at hand.

    £20 feature phone with huge battery life, number given out to a few for emergency only use, my phone in airplane mode, voice mail message " At Work, leave me a message ".

    Operation, cut down my phone time and distractions.

    Combination of Distracted ( Car repairs and putting my old Mountain Bike hard tail back together ) and Over Analysis paralysis to be 100% honest.

    So DELETE and Fix you muppet!!!

    6sma, I liked that short term direction flip for reversing larger moves 50/50 win rate, but upside out performs downside, so rock on!!

    Envelope 14Ema 0.01 and 0.03, play the range with direction if any, got to take chances, got to manage risk and let upside out perform.

    Time is Running out!! tad bit of work tomorow other than those 3hours, rock on, get trading, get kicking ass!!
