    Just found the strongest trend indicator to date :)

    Envelope 30LWA 0.03%

    Pretty much just trade of joining direction on a pull back to within range, tight SL and let profits run.

    So much method change.

    Envelope 30LWA 0.03%, play direction in the range don't trade against.

    14LWA + Envople 14LWA 0.06

    30lwa 0.03 perfect all day well near enough.

    11lwa + env 11lwa 0.04 looks best to call entries with 30lwa.

    Down another blind hole again I think!! RESET!!!

    Method works great for Trend, IF I had the balls to play earlier then good profits.

    Bollinger Bands are required, end of story, they work, I have to accept and trust them, that's the solution to this never ending hell.

    Setup working today, less well for trend, but works for chop.

    Envelope 13sma 0.06%
    BB 13sma 2.0Dev

    SL 13 + spread.

    It's all BS!!!!

    And here I go again, back testing another system which will likely work, but I will likely lack the skills to trade live, lets go!! Life, don't talk to about life!!

    Dax 13th Feb 10:15am gmt

    Massive sell off, tricky start.
    Turning back up maybe

    FAIL!!!

    Envelope 30LWA 0.01 for direction still seems to good to be true it's back.

    BB 11sma 2.4 and 1.2 look interesting enough.

    I've got to play entries not based on short term direction change, but on BB sides having live S/R then you chance that with a tight SL, with 30L's direction if there is 1.

    Lets try that 5th Feb 9:30am GMT DAX!!

    Massive up move, didn't join doh!!

    Turning down, short 13448, BB's tight exit 35 +13

    Broke up no way to tell it wasn't a fake

    Support Long 13452 +10

    this is epic, an epic lot of squiggly lines that mean nothing, yeah me!!!

    30lwa is 97% a 20sma!!

    Okay liking ......

    Envelope 30lwa 0.01 for direction

    BB 12 2.5dev

    I'll give it a Demo try tomorrow, less mess.

    Play BB range with 30l's direction
    Or jump on 12sma's direction with 30l's SL other side of 12 or the 30 if near.

    All the information needed which isn't BS is there, but it isn't much.

    Atleast 2 x's SEAL TEAM tomorrow am to watch, been a depressing week!!

    Try a back test with this 24th Jan 9am Dax

    BB range with trend L 13570 SL moved to 66 -4 ( with no slip )

    not going lower L 13566, FFS saw 73 reversed hard -6 ( uk open )

    down play BB range short 13569, out +9 cluster

    Short 65 , out 56 +9


    Working okay from the look of it, less focus on method, more focus on reading market, looking for S/R then keeping SL tight so keeping losses tiny.

    See if can keep head, demo live tomorrow.

    SLEEP!!

    So far....

    Lower range long 12533 closed +30
    Join 12sma 12562 +26
    Then low BB range long 12549 +25

    Good sadly DEMO trades, volatility is up huge so profits won't always be to this scale.

    p.s. I was up and pretty much on it at 9am for once, progress.

    Running out of funds, time to start taking this seriously, ie waking up and taking part.

    Moved to the downward side, but it moved slowly, slowly follows through as it's got volume and purpose so join direction don't play range short 12553.

    Fast up reversing, got to hold the line, SL to BE!!

    SL hit!! BE!!

    Reshorted 12558 still holding, top of BB in downtrend nice!!

    A different plan, might finally be forming, a break from the never ending circle of, this nearly works, it's working it's working, FAIL!!
