I quite fancied being a truck driver when I was young. The nearest I got to it was a stint as a dispatch rider in London, a crazy time really. It was well paid back then, but hard on the body, and your head... Used to go all over the place - lots of short City of London jobs (actually quite lucrative as there was a min charge) but sometimes you'd find yourself way out somewhere in the Oxfordshire countryside, searching for a house which sometimes was pretty difficult to find. Happy days. I wrote a lot of it down in the form of a proto - novel, which sadly I never completed... I saved up some cash from the job and flew with a mate to Toronto, bought a cheap car, a Mercury Zephyr, which we drove across Canada to Vancouver, then down to San Diago, then across the country via Las Vegas, Chicago, eventually arriving in Boston. Then after a stint as a bar tender in Boston to replenish funds, we drove down to Florida for Thanksgiving, before eventually arriving back in Toronto exactly six months later... Some interesting adventures along the way. Think I managed to see some of the 'real' America.
Don't want to do house deliverys, takes me ages to find each house, managed 2 drops today sacked LOL did some delivery on my bike 10 years back, managed 2 days, hilly in my town, well towns in a dip and up on all ways out pretty much, so clocking up 30miles of hills in an evening sucked. Lad wants a road trip in Calfornia, so he can meet his GF, which oddly looks like a BF, kids these days, he's only 12, in a fast car, Supra Mk4 if possible, obsesses with them. Mom won't let him go for 6months mind, 2 weeks tops. Sounds fun! got a Mate who went out for a road bike ride as normal over nighter I guess ( before I'd met him ), got carried away, 6months later end up on jail for being in some country in africa?? thought spying as passport not stamped to get in, 3 months sorting that out then he rode back via Germany as you do, be good to have that kinda money for the freedom, ohhh I'll just buy some gear and keep riding and riding and riding.
Actually traded today, I was bored watching a zoom training video for 7 damn hours, so thought might aswell Been WEEKS!!
Kinda lost interest in trading, because there isn't a future in it, the way the UK is going down hill freedoms wise so fast, the general public won't be allowed to trade within a year or 2 10% know what's going on, 90% haven't got a clue, ohhh that's happened, never mind repeat repeat repeat until it's just too late. Maybe I'll be allowed to trade if I've got a good social credit score ?? it's coming
Cutting back on time soaks, think I've found a new trading style, slower, found it before, so back on it next week, 1 last shot at avoiding a full time job!!
What it is? By the way... if you don't use 'em already this might be a way to manage your trades with less hands on time. Break a Leg! Bracket Orders - Could Your Trading Method use them? https://elitetrader.com/et/threads/bracket-orders-could-your-trading-method-use-them.349950/
Just a simple, play the range based around a 20lwma or direction / range. ES Smaller Position, average in a bit, let it ride, bla bla bla bla tired, old and bored!! I'm old school, I like to lose my money by clicking buttons like a fool Don't think MT4 supports either.
ES is slow enough, RTY same but higher spread charge to over come, back to NQ soon. Fed up being poor so taken 5k out only 1k left. 2 to 3 months before I can start looking for HGV without any BS lockdowns putting it on hold again, London mjght go back in soon to stop a made up variant spreading totally worked last 2 times NOT! Fuck this world is screwed up, shops opened, yeahhh and nobody has any money so empty be better off shut not paying staff to stand around bored, this is where the depression and damage kicks in.
If you take a long look at the Outcomes of each Product's Entry / Exit Triggers in a Separate Column from your Spread Charge, for a healthy Number of Trades using ES, Spazdaq, and RTY, and then summarize the Results, you may find that the RTY is competitive and expresses Triggers that might be more effective for pulling down some cashola. Maybe go back and mark up a number of same day charts to get a ballpark idea.
