    Method, became too chop orientated again, need to step away from Chop LOL

    -$240 on E2T account, not what I want obviously!! ES big move, then tricky patch, I failed to exploit the big move so losses.

    So method DELETE AGAIN FFS!!!

    The 2 directions worked best, so redevoloping that, only slower.

    Envelope 8 lwma H+0.02% and L-0.02%
    8 lwma hl/2

    Envelope 16 lwma H+0.03% and L-0.03%

    Same sold, join direction, but wait for entries where the SL loss is small, then try to hold for more $$$'s profit.

    From starting to write this 90mins ago, I've pulled E2T account to +$160 :) on the day!!

    So looks good, or I just get my act / lucky towards the end of the day, find out tomorrow!!


    Getting ANNOYED!!, need to go back to small don't care SL sizes, avoiding death by 1000nd cuts so creating a different kind of issue.

    Method, keeps reverting back to variations of this and a variation of this, was making good $$$'s last time I had a profitable month, before plot lost.

    So digging in and mastering THIS exact setup, keeping losses small is key, not being too greedy on the profits, trade smart, I've lost the ability to trade SMART!!

    Yesterdays method, worked GREAT at times, if I'm around at the start of a Trend and have the balls to hold the trend, but then I fall apart when it starts to go against me, as there are too many possibilitys to keep HOPE Alive, therefore averaging in, therefore losses.

    New / Old method loads of setups all the time, I think single position stop the averaging in addiction, it's busy, so won't make a stupid trade out of boredom, like I was doing with yesterdays setup.

    Single positions, tight SL's, learn to make smart trades, don't get greedy, repeat, repeat, repeat, it was working, start of E2T, so it'll still work, I just made it too fast.

    Method Scrub AGAIN LOL and FFS!!

    FASTER yep, back on Faster :(

    30Lwma slow direction

    Envelope 5lwma H+0.01 and L-0.01

    Envelope 10lwma H+0.02 and L-0.02

    Reason, more relevant more of the time mainly, betting on continuing all the time, loses too many times in a row earlier.

    Tight SL's, still the order of the day, single position.

    Joining Direction or timing calls, both taken at cheap SL cost if hit points.


    ES Currently, generally I'd join the short direction, but maybe wrong premise, so long 2pt SL, see if it'll turn up >3800 or come hit SL obvs.


    Turned up, NICE :) ran into the 30lwma and stopped perfectly, SL BE!!

    Trying to stop being brain out, JOIN, it'll carry on, ohhh, I did join short 3807 for +10 a while ago aswell.

    Back at the 30 reject or power through, ohhh poweing through nice :)

    Might of found, something I'm okay at :)

    +12pts, +$120 that'll do nicely, learn to time direction changes and get rich QUICK :)

    It's starting to look like I can make this work and work well.

    Ofcourse I've cracked it this method a few times, just to lose the plot or market stops playing ball, but 1 more spin, maybe I've improve LOL and LOL!!!


    Normally, I'd be playing a long join, but ES and NQ but I think I'll wait for a short entry to fade it :) or not we'll see!!

    NQ out at highs +$20, back in long at lows back out +$30.

    ES not going very far TP set +1.5pts that'll do.

    I can SCALP again, rather than, join, hold against 30pts and totally cock it up and blow the daily limit in 7seconds LOL

    Obviously Can up the Contract Sized, trade 1 NQ/ES easy with this tight MM logic.

    ES turned down, SL hit -1pt no carey :)
