Need somewhere to think out loud,

I strongly suspect that the tightness of the range needed varies considerably over time. I'm therefore wondering whether you need a method of working out the appropriate "tightness of the range" from a comparison between more and less recent price-movements? (Don't get me wrong: I'm not criticising and I don't have one to offer or suggest, but it sounds like that might be helpful, here?).

Tighter as sma 7 not 10 mainly.

Criticise away, just no spirt bs lol

I kinda know how i want to end up trading already, but i also know i can't trade it live cause I've tried, I always end up trading against my method, thats what I'm trying to crack and thats coming along nicely.

Not really bothered about the -330 , get good at this and 330 is nothing eventually.
 
2 losers, trend changes, trying to hard to get my 330 back need to wait for better setups, playing around is all fun and good but not when losing this kinda $$$$'s :(

Place gu short +200 back to -300.


Sizes too much for my account, drop to 70% stop me avg down.

Thats enough for me, beach time :)

Grey and horrible out side hmmmmmm!

Your 100% right!

Got me thinking fit and forget needs to auto adapt to market range.

Method deleted lol using BB 7sma 1.0 and 2.5, same rules just adaptive ranges.

Heavy change day today lol


Dumped outter BB just running a BB 7sma 2.0, tighter more meaningfull SL and entry point, a break out good odd on change to.

sL always went out to 0.07 too big orvst times to tight.


No trades yet!
 
Hard to call direction so using a 13/14sma for directional bias, 7sma above longs and vice versa.

The BB range deems to work very well indeed, live call able ? Find out next week I guess, loads of trades, sweet as.

-200 i guess on the week area not what i was after at all :(


Shop over herevdoing a great deal on an 8inch samsung tablet, tried to switch it to a lower 7inch tablet, then poor deal, bought a nice looking 8inch for 50euros why not.

10 or 12 it's really best not to count, sadly the journey is required.

Pyschology yes for sure.

SpitBSuality is where you lose me big time, hate that meaningless crapology.


Easy answer 'HOPE!'

'Hope' ? you mean you hoped the trade would turn , but you kept it, thus wiping all the profits?

the crapology : it is more about explaining that it is beyond 'classic' psychology concepts.
you could call it "intuition" "gut feeling" "holy spirit" , but it is still not that, but has something about it.

Yep, until I can erridicate all hope then sooner or later many good trades will be wiped out, most trades come back, which breeds the hope, I nearly bailed so many times on its way down, but you hope for more and generally get less. Why i trade near margin for protection.

There is no room for intuition or gut feeling in trading, it's a science not a belief,these things need to be erridicated not encouraged.
 
New tablet, screen is good, it's slowwwwww okay doing updates but still slow, when trading platform eventually loads that seems to run just fine, only going to use it to trade and was down 10xs its cost early for a bit so screw it.

Issue is, when placing order its slow and cant see the chart, makes timing scalps impossible, hence 2 screens, 1 displays chart, 1 places trades, easy :)

BB dynamic range much nicer, was trying to move away from scalpy twitch based but hey, prefer it.


2 more days of beach then a day travelling which sucks then work :(
