    Dumping BB's again, they just confuse me and look like random lines I can't trust live.

    Simple method looks effective.

    Envelope 11sma 0.08% and 11sma

    Envelope 7sma 0.05% and 7sma

    Rules, try to trade pull back low 7, while 7 is going up and 11.

    If both up and price dumps through the 7 then join the 7's new direction.

    SL gets too far out of whack, yes I made $$$'s today but just jumping on existing moves, not always that easy sadly.

    +$1060 think that's a record :) Think I'll give it all back tomorrow, so lets not spend it yet LOL

    Seeing Plan J tomorrow, might get back on track, likely just get hopes up then depressed but hey!!

    Still not happy with the formula............

    BB's work great in a sideways market, BB 11 2.0Dev in play. And also strong trend for a mid trend break entry zone.

    So 2 types of trades, 1 above.

    2. add a Envelope 5sma 0.03% and 11sma Enter with strength and the 11's direction. SL not miles away just under the 11sma. ( BB if close, ignore if 20pts away )

    and never will be since no holy grail exists :)

    'BB's work great in a sideways market, BB 11 2.0Dev in play. And also strong trend for a mid trend break entry zone.

    from this moment you are potentially on the right track, of course if you will not return to the old one 'quest for ideal MA+BB combination'

    to progress further replace '2 types of trades' to '2 types of contexts' and look deeper and deeper into the each context SEPARATELY. Define objectively 'sideways' market and 'trending' and explore the trades in these contexts. Consider the order of trading signal inside the context. For example you are in 'trending market' according your rules. What are the chanses that 1st trade will be profitalble? 2nd? 3rd? And what about 4th, 5th and so on - have these trades the same (or good enough) chanses to succeed or it is only exceptional occurance and typically it is the 'overtrading' and giving cumulated profit back? This is the question :) good luck

    Method, nice, getting into it, never been able to join fast moves based on a MA before, but just made +$120 Dax long joining low of 5 Envelope running the SL under the 11sma.

    Broke it down to 2 types of trade....

    1. Above, joining fast Momo.
    2. Playing reversals based on long period of S/R and BB 11 2.0 going flat ( this is my timer kinda )

    do those 2, don't get thinky and retire eventually.

    No motivation to trade currently or anything really, to fed up.

    Taking mtb out with a mate, try harder next week, over my $200 per day average wise so good enough.

    Errrrrrr life!
