Very Tired, no trades yet, still trying to reprogram brain to stop it going into stupid, it'll turn damn the torpedos, wtf no it'll turn, back in same way, OMG where has my account went. An object in motion, generally stays in the same motion until acted upon by an outside force.
Stop dicking around time AGAIN!!! Tested various idea's/methods till seriously confused and annoyed and pretty much had enough, came to the conclusion. Envelope 24ema 0.01 ( main Trend Entry Zone ) Envelope 24Ema 0.03 ( SL and slow / sideways entry zone ) Go the same direction, exit on direction change / outer range being breached, repeat. Anything remotely complicated I'm going to have a bad day and screw up. +$150 today, small trades, with bad entries making bugger all each.
This method should solve all of my issues accept 1. I need to STOP THINKING, just play the direction, play the setup, take the loss and let the profits run enough to make the loss part irrelevant. SIMPLE!! Just trust direction, enter with direction, then deal with what occurs be it 100pt run my way, or stall / direction change, Repeat, nothing to get stressed over, Repeat repeat repeat!!!!!!!!!!!
It is simple and complicated at the same time. Oi vey. You have started looking through my journal, from what I can tell, and you see it is tricky in these Trump years now. Isn't it maddening? lol! Think of airplane rides to relax you. Especially those 737 Max planes. Were I a stock player, I'd long Boeing.
Good journal yours, you full time? Or still got a job? What car did you get, still got? I’m supposed to be full time, but slipped out of profitable, funds to add end of next month or when ready so 2022. Trading!
Downside to this method at times no setups very few anyway. Guess still trade clusters with tight SL, where it drops back into the 0.01 range. Then I’ve got breakouts from range, maybe tricky, no too risky / stressy, us30 broke out then came back, wait for 0.01 or leave it be, my risk protection just goes. 2 trick pony = boring but needs must. Added gbpusd and usdjpy, must lower margin so i cant open trade at $50 per pt rather that $5 and scare the shit out of myself lol
It's working well, still watching,need to make a living and not go crazy, so lets stop trying to be the best trader ever that gets every point, settle down and be happy with profits and no stress Dax chart, how many reversals from 24ema? R:R through the roof also.
