Need somewhere to think out loud,

I am not going for bigger profits on first target , going for very conservative first target in Euro50, whereas Dax is not conservative market to trade for me. Risk at times is beyond that is sensible for me.

Dax is faster more changeable, it'll get you rich quicker ( not a huge issue for you) when cracked and poor quicker until then :(

But the potential to get rich from my low level keeps me going
 
Minor plan change.....

Not trusting setup, still mates me want to counter trend too much so..

Back to 18sma.

BB 7sma 1.20

Aim is to remove all chop plays, just jump on current momo, tighter bb means my entry point has less odds on being a turn.

Need to only trade when 7 and 18 line up imprints odds on profit I think still getting rid theory, might be better without 18 totally?

Basically 7 is the direction and the bb range is the expected random deviation, move outside indicates change.


Work :(
 
No trades, looks good live, disiplin tonstick to the rules, looks like the only both lined up improves trade profit rate and keeps me on better trades maybe.

Works nearly done till Thursday :) hard life, not a lot on, trading NEEDS to kick in and soooooon!
 
Looking like just the BB is best...

Charts are looking, sweet, directions are easy to call, confidence to actually place trades LACKING, it's a case of BB range down, move up, can't pull it as fear it'll go to SL, but so far pretty much none do, so getting there.

Jest a BB.jpg

Rich quicker, LOL good one, and Poor quicker as well, I don't like this market, so hardly doing many lots. One of the very best methods I made long ago and I never share the rules is Eurodollar method, one of the slowest markets for USA, it might take a week plus to go 5 ticks, but I can toss on huge volume in futures and do as many on credit spreads, spreading is huge in this market and margins much smaller.

Many only trade Eurodollar and make very heavy returns, check volume on one minute chart.
Another market I trade that others laugh is Milk.

I been using 18sma few decades. Too fast of BB, too many false trades when too fast.

You know if you gave trades a Time stop, like I use 3 bars, have to, have to, have to be able to lock in one tick and if at loss, new target is one tick/or at worse breakeven. You will find best trades lets you get in and gone your way in one bar, so chop is even fun with time stops. Some days in ES, not get any 2.00pts or even one point trades but get 1-3 ticks on couple dozen trades, it all adds up.
 
Seeing the trades but mainly worried about killing trades quick enough ie small loss, but as know that also causes death by a 1000nd cuts.

Might go fixed 10sl tight as required but generally exit manually when trend changes.

Which i ofcourse failed to do in previous method, hence dilema.
 
Not a lot of time to try to cream this, this week and tired but........

Struggling with entry's live, they seem a bit late to the party which means risk.

Jumping on break outs from the BB range look good.

Tricky

Try to keep Friday free to trade, get my head sorted hopefully by then, went great last week lol
 
Method fail, DELETE didn't see that did you lol

Okay BB 7 1.4 looks great still, but current market conditions too choppy so useless.

Ranged market need a BB 20 2.0, if only to spot ranging a not bother.

Very tired, still thinking on it.
