Took +2 I'd of been chopped today. Jumping on trend only works when the market moves, methods still sound, just too slow market should pick up soon. Exclusion times need work.
Nq long 7755 then 7753. Turning down already,. Not enough pts on NQ to scalp. Us30 uptrend NQ generally follows. Looking boned arseeee day!
Back to jumping on short term momo with a tight auto SL which tracks. Better at picking when to trade required, more upside.
FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK 3pm News was BAD or GOOD who knows. DAX went from 12410 area to 12382 in an instant. 6pt SL turned into a 33pt loser Arseeeee!! Biggest gap I've seen in ages!! Going for a walk and a cry LOL
Would of been a great trading session if trade 1 didn't slap me silly and piss me off so much I ran away. Plan trade US close 7:30pm onward.
Why does every issue you solve trading wise, create 2 additional problems. I do see my recent error finally, I spotted a few market turns and I've turned into market turn caller and well not good odds on calling market turns it seems LOL Solution to this issue......... ( new setup ) Envelope 8sma 0.05 ( slightly wider ) + 8 sma to highlight mid. Envelope 18Ema 0.01 Over all direction I need to trade with. Envelope 18EMA 0.07 Flat market range or Trend hasn't changed till taken out or 18ema is going strong in new direction. SL moved to 18Ema 0.08 as it's that direction and range that's important.
And know I'm trying to trade fast direction changes then realising actually that's just chop / range which the 18ema range is calling nicely, I could be in and out and making $$$
