    Smacking the ER2

    Hi Dan, I'm afraid you've lost me with that one..... I'm working on my discipline for following my entry and exit rules with a method I have a lot of confidence in. Why would it be any better for me to develop a new method that has more straightforward rules just to complete the 20...

    Smacking the ER2

    Ozzy - agree - if only I could do that indeed - I'm afraid the secret weapons are not easily automated - they are very visual and relative comparisons against price/volume. I agree they are sometimes too frequent - but they seem to catch the key intraday reversals so I'm trying not to tweak...

    Smacking the ER2

    Better morning thanks to S4 – poor afternoon – I should have had lunch at 7pm - still hypnotised by the oil price too much S1 (L) – Entry 14:53 (677.6) - actually left trade alone - it didn’t break thru resistance at 678.30 – then came back and hit my reduced stop at 677.5 S2...

    Smacking the ER2

    Mtzianos, Thanks for the feedback. I write up the charts and text for my own daily log anyway - so its nothing more than a copy and paste each day. The charts work well for me in motivation terms because they show me very graphically how much of the signalled moves I'm really profiting...

    Well maybe the public humiliation approach is working….a much better day relative to recent ‘signal taking’ performances Signals as per chart below: S1 – Taken at 14:37 - nice entry and pretty good exit using signal S2 – Still in S1 trade S3 – Took the signal at 15:17 –...

    Smacking the ER2

    Steve, Thanks for the feedback. I agree with your general assessment. I also totally agree that Sim trading is vital to get a trading method finetuned to the market. In the process of developing the method over 9 months I sim traded extensively and had reasonable success. I was as...
