Thanks for that. I am planning on adding more filters and increase my confidence when I actually pull the trigger. I am looking at 5 min and 1 min chart, I think timeframe is ok. typically CL makes few nice moves a day e.g. today 1 nice move from 11:35 onwards. if I can only grab 20 ticks...

SIM net +200 trades = 2 last few days I was busy at the same time restraining myself from trading. I want to reduce my trades max 5 trades per day and min 0.

net = +150 trades = 16 Too many BE trades. had caught the nice BO at 85.19 ( 12:10 est ) but moved the stp to BE and the high tick ok 12:12 got me... The BO had gone 16 ticks in my favor so I moved stp to BE. How do you guys/gal handle such situation ( image you took this trade )...

SIM Today is my Best day ever since I started trading CL. Net + 1050 trades = 14 Today I just took 200 ( fixed target on majority of trades ) and Cl supported to be more choppy. I think for next few days I will go fix target till net = +400 then later based on market trend decide to go...

SIM net + 100 trades = 22 ( double my ideal ) I got screwed around 9:30 and 10 am ( trying to find bottom ) most BE , few was more greedy left 200 on table to get BE. and at one point i was down 500, glad made it back.

SIM net = +400 trades = 19 during the day I was down around -350 , also initially I let my 400 evaporate into 130. I was burnt around 11:09 to 11:26 trying to catch the bottom with small stops ( thats why more trades ) , but later did well around noon and 2:00 pm I am thinking during...

Thanks, I was able to create a custom session, may be this weekend I will study charts US session only and see if I find something interesting. Today I had 2 longs both went 200 but I took 120 and 10 only 120 + 10 < 400. I am slowly getting inclined to strict 200 or loss kind of trade ...

Long 86.14 lets see how I do on exit

Thanks FirstDegree and NoDoji, I liked this "imperfect science" so true... I think I will keep it simple for now ( no mathematical books ) just support/resistance , channel boundaries and watch the power near 20 emas.

Any good book/tool/articles/direction on Trade Management incl position sizing when trading manually. I have seen that alot of times I have entered near LOD / HOD or a nice beginning of a good swing but my profit target extremely sucks. Some of my exit points are when CL (1 min) touches...
