Need somewhere to think out loud,
- Thread starter Turveyd
- Start date
Starting a new trading Excel sheet / chart for performance as it's a pretty much new take on trading.
Also withdrawing cause the amounts for a new method totally scare me, $1300 and putting it safe incase the worst happens.
I borrowed $1500 last month to, here comes the account rot LOL so will repay that back into the worst case fund.
Leaving me with a safe more manageable $4500 to run the new more scalpy method on, 6.4x's what I started with so it's fine
Stop me going crazy with the Lot sizes!
Fresh start kinda!!

No, trades today, actions gone slow again, may have to dig out the 3.14 speed settings 
30 is already slowed down to 42, I guess I'm going to have to manually alter that each day to back fit, the recent action, between 30 and 50.
Called it well for nearly 140 pts on US30, not as well but 50-60 on the DAX.
Kids tomorrow, Work Thursday, I'd say trade Friday but yeah that'll be fatal, basically the week is scratched, get this pyscho bitch stuff sorted first I guess.

Better review the day, while I've still got 2 brain cells vaguely working !!
30Sma changed to 60Ema already, what can I say it's got smelly fingers ( it picks bottoms )
The purpose currently is to jump fast ish trend and ride it, how much fast ish trend was there today question no.1
Arrgghhh dunno, maybe I'm not looking in small enough detail, drifting back to intraday mentality been there loved it till it failed, lets not go again!!
Into the close, a trend move, 60ema calling it PERFECTLY.
okay on a day like today, just jumping on 5sma direction and even 13 would of likely chopped me to death
Not saying there isn't entries, just saying there small profits and got to be QUICK
Throw in the 60ema and on a day like today I have a chance, it didn't effect yesterday negatively thankfully.
60 direction plays Long all am till 10:10am GMT I think it is, Sideways then we turn up again
Pull back to 60, 5 goes flat and up we go again
Its tough, need live watchings / trading experience 60 is better though today

60 is better though todayGot to stop watching, Live rocket launches, Anteres just went BOOM sad times Unmanned thankfully!!!
So.....
GBPAUD works to the method, but M5
checked DAX M5 yesterday crap to fast, slow day like today it's better with no tweaks.
US30 similar results aswell.
The 13sma on M5 and 60ema on M1 are pretty similar value wise.
Don't think I can trade off it, but it's worth dropping to M5 occasionally for a over view, I think the issue is, for HA charts I have to been zoomed in more or they kinda merge, so think I'm missing the over all picture for the day.
SLEEP try to get some pre kids trades in maybe or watch Shield, yeah shield

So building the method back up again but maybe
Adding 60sma and 200sma to the party, logic hasn't changed on the entry being scalpy based, but I like having something to orientate myself with, win rate is 50%+ and R:R maybe times is on the insane side so it's all good.
1 system fits all, is tricky, Monday perfect, Tuesday hard work be a close call on profitable.
