    Method tweaks..... to suite conditions expect constant....

    Envelope 6sma 0.03 unchanged.

    Envelope 13 0.02 changed to 15 0.04, slow trend range working better currently.

    yeah +18pts today in total, big whooop!!! Didn't get any runners, confidence after 3 weeks off kinda low, so I suppose good first day back :)

    Still finalising numbers, looking like 5sma 0.02 and 11sma 0.04 might be best.

    Method, still not suiting me kinda,

    I like the Envelope 6 0.02 to be quite nice and trust worthy.

    The Envelope 11/13 0.04 on the other hand can't seem to pull the trigger based on this.

    So.....

    Envelope 13 0.01 for over all direction.

    Envelope 6sma 0.02 and 0.05 play more chop with range.

    More setups to :)

    Trial this live tomorrow, if I can muster 2 working brain cells, TIRED TIRED TIRED!!!

    Method works most of the time, more than enough to live off, that'll do, stop messing.

    Env 13 0.1 and Env 6 0.02 0.05 SL auto trailing at Env 7 0.06.

    Trade with 13 direction, look for range plays near the 6 0.02 out to the 0.05.

    6 Trades no losers +30pts in the last hour.

    Get out of my over tired funk, kinda depressed and giving up, running around after too many get trading, give the woman up ( out to private sector, no time wasting hassle ) and focus on trading, I have a SAAB to put fuel in ( not oil fixed that ) after all :)

    Made a profit, vaguely, got sidetracked again to looking for a better setup, rather than just waiting for the setup I've got to come back into favour.

    2 days of bored, then must really up my game I guess.

    So looking like the solution to this hell is..........

    Envelope 6sma range enter from 0.02 to 0.05 depending on directional strength, trending 0.02, sideways out to 0.05, using the 6 and the 13 to cauge said strength.

    then small repeat profits, move up to stall and take profit, repeat.

    using auto overwatch SL to keep losers in check, rather than trying to not lose ever.

    Trading this way is quite low stress, like playing a computer game, click, click, click simple as.

    Might have 2 hours in the am just, scalp with range and direction, many many times let the SL take care of the losers, don't over think it, pull back, stall, in, move to profit, stall, out repeat repeat repeat until very rich or very bored, I suspect bored will come first.

    Still on training size $1 per pt, need to get scaling up but still able to function and accept the losses at $10 per pt.

    I'll double up tomorrow after a few profitable trades, then transfer back some cash and get back to $5 level Wednesday area I guess, if all is going well.

    You'll never land that 20-something girlfriend you were talking about last month making $1/point. Up the game Turv!
