Need somewhere to think out loud,

Trade on beach just cause, us30 changed direction lost 30pts in no time lol

Realised right track but need simpler......

BB 7sma 1.4 and 2.8

Simpler enter with exit on 2.8 breaking and flip sides. Simples.

Below us30 margin cant transfer from dummy account feck, too slow to get back with NQ :(!
 
This is how to trade today, tomorrow is different story.

Striving for more directional, less of a decision tree and failing safer, cracked by my return.
 
Settling i think....

Bb 8sma 2.0
Envelope 8sma 0.02

It's more about micro managing every damn trade, not letting anything run away from me, never going lets wait and see when counter trend just exit.
 
Method fine, if I micro manage losers to hell and back, while letting profits run.

So don't trade on a beach while a super fit topless girlie is walking around near, distracted big time, got pics love new 28xzoom camera lol
 
Last night on holiday, nudist beaxh had a drink with this fit naked bird off the beach, had to try, life to short not to sadly no joy, but naked so close enough ')

Trading wise head unscrambled method with 24sma locked.

Make money jump on plane asap, ramp upto part living by beach over the next year, 50 next year.
 
Next week, no more excuses still at near demo level, so better focus and start hitting the trades hard as running out of money ( too many holidays )

Method hopefully, decided and fine, 8sma Env 0.02 and BB 8sma 2.0 and Env 24sma 0.01 for stealth trend, SL set at Env 0.04

It's all about.

1. Staying on Trend is there is 1.
2. Letting the Trend take it for a while at times.
3. GRINDING, Keeping those losses small, never letting it run away from me.

Dumped US30 again, it's too easy to lose big $$$'s to fast then get emotional.

GRIND GRIND GRIND, Move to Spain, find that fit naked bird or 1 similar, is the plan!!

1 is not in the business of quiting, been profitable a few times for months, but 1 bad run, just plays with your mind, then back to square 1.

Got to have a laugh, if not laughing, crying, might need to book a flight and find that bird and chase more, proper sweet and fit all damn pyschos in the UK!!

You seem to be tweaking these a lot. The reason you find yourself doing that is probably because the volatility and market conditions are changing, yes?

This is why I'm a bit skeptical towards MA systems. They are static while the market is dynamic.

Have you considered dealing with this by either using some kind of adaptive MA? Or for example have say 3 different settings you utilize?

a) Low volatility
b) Medium volatility
c) High volatility

Of course, the challenge then is to identify the correct condition (a, b or c), but maybe you could use the size of the opening range or something similar to gauge that.

Just an idea.
