Need somewhere to think out loud,

just for the 2 there :

* lazy : how is it a barrier to good trading ?



have you tried to see what results you get if you take a friday off , as if it was a sunday?
do you then transfer the problem to another day?

so trading only super fast markets ? any patience issues? any risk of becoming like
a computer game junky?

Lazy, cant be arsed to trade
Woman, very distracting. ( 2 gone recently, should help, both crazy )


Generally dont trade Fridays but still the few i have, not went well, my un willing to take a loss gets worse before the weekend.

Not super fast, just momentum, my down times will be us open or times where market can change its mind real fast.

Interesting time wise.

Miss uk open so 10am gmt till 11, then 12 till 1, then screwed till 3 to 4 due to news, actually 1 to 2 is fine dont mind news time, just out over releases, US open gets to random for me.

Finding last hour is predictable, 8-9, 7sl worst case i can just close if down a few pts, dont want to get stuck in over night, gaps would be a killer.
 
Mondays looking bad, my GF's mate, who I don't like, clutch has gone and can't afford to pay for a garage, looks like might be having a fun day lying on a drive unbolting things then rebolting them, arggghh! best laid plans!!

Getting tad stressed into the open, doubts bla bla bla bla all good fun, messing with the numbers and dropping the 5 range to 0.004% but that's about it, everything else is a bit of a muchness, better in ways worth in others this is in the middle so good enough.

Going 10SL on auto, will tighten asap if possible ( 20 on US30 )

No point working on historic charts, role on moving charts, but I need some kinda method, rather than jump on a up move, cause too many up moves stall and reverse, so need trend logic basically the direction of the 13 and 60, if both flat play the range, but the 60 can lag so secondary.

Exit determined by Heiken Ashi as it's well about the best you'll get, better than my guessing, but obviously not great cause it's just a smoothed candle. Basically unless the 5 is really steep take the first HA stall and run away!

do you aim to only trade during these time segments?

Well hour on, hour doing something else, those are the ideal times but lifes never that easy.

Trying to focus to the level required for an hour is going to be tricky enough.


Basically, turn off phone, trade, then an hour to sort out work issues then repeat, rather than calls every 10minutes distracting me.

Just about to start you having that live while i thought the plan up, sim going to shorter term trades and needs more focus it makes sense.

Plan is to build up to trading many years in that hour for whatever market gives me from 5 pips to 40 say while exiting in profit or loss as soon as the chart days so.

Scslp trading, between the 2
