Need somewhere to think out loud,
- Thread starter Turveyd
- Start date
Tweaking it live today, to what's working currently will it work longer term, work on that later...
What do I like......
The 90sma rocks KEEPER!!
24sma very valid direction 1 shade faster ofcourse, keeper.
6SMA also nice
With the 6sma Envelope 0.05% it's to fast for a channel effect, trying a 10SMA setting, looks to be a slower nicer channel to go along with.
speeding the 6sma upto 10sma becomes useless sadly, so got more info kinda.
And this 10 channel out performs the 24sma which 10mins again I said I was going to keep and I just deleted it

This is looking quite simple..........
Trade the direction of the 90sma ( above Longs, bla bla bla ) using the 10 Env 0.06%'s range.
That's loads easier to trade, see and more importantly TRUST!!
Counter trend trades are allowed, tight SL being 6 area, avoiding strong markets ofcourse.
EASY!!!
Method's are like woman, they come and go LOL

I've just broken for the first time a +$1000 day, in only 5 trades and no losers and I'm leaving a LOT of trades on the table and trading ILL which is generally when I blow things up LOL and not 1 bad SL move not that I had any losers so can't really count on that yet.
This shit is becoming REAL
* might stop trading to secure the +$1000 that and may get cocky and blow the account LOL *

Had a loser on the way down, trading STUPID no biggy, should of been trading DOWN doh!!
Took a long 8970 eecked out +12 so covered the loser, tried to hold, tried to hold, started coming down, screw it too scarey for me, exited and instantly broke up, be sitting at +40 here.
INSANE totally INSANE, when the chart is jumping 10pts up and down in seconds it's just nuts, the loser got to +10, hit close before I could hit yes it was profitable to SL in zero time.
10 channel worked well though and the 6sma aswell/
WALK AWAY!!1 LOL

If I'd of just left that trade on I'd be +110pts here thats $2750 area ecccksss! 
Why did I go out for a bike ride DAX normally goes dead after 5!
What did I learn today....
a) I suck in fast markets especially when stupidly counter trending.
b) The markets a bastard, just when you think, turning down BAIL it runs 30seconds later, shorting I guess for the double top before being broken out then wowsa watch them run. Literally my order filled and I'm like it's going up aleady, shoulda got back in hey
c) 10sma Envelope channel is STRONG and true and very useful. 100% sure on this being the future!!
d) 90sma is still the baby interestingly
e) I suck ( thought mentioning twice )
f) $1000+ just day still and still not happy LOL
z) I'm still trying to pick bottoms and ending up with smelly fingers and getting out okay due to pure chance and a fraction of skill, going with the 10 like I SHOULD be would of made me, way more pips easier
Sucks sad part of my last profit was, I'd already held to where I sold, it looked strong then dumped, was worried about another dump, prior to that the buying strength was strong, but running into sellers but they was getting less, really tried to hold expecting that exact break out!
As I'm trading with man flu, I shall forgive my errors LOL
