Need somewhere to think out loud,

Still working on the method at the moment, no live trades.

Current setup......

9sma + MAE 9sma 0.01 0.03
MAE 18sma 0.03 0.05

Yes, playing around with same pattern, but trying to use it differently.


Same old problem, market moves down ( UJ to 109.00 just ) is it the start of a downtrend or chop, this time chop before an up trend, I'd of went short to be honest.

Near the 0.05 also ( just added ) , meaning full chop zone.

These variables cover pretty much all market conditions, 10fast, 18 slower, just the matter of using the right 1 most of the time and exiting quickly when wrong.

Tired, Easter, take a break, get back on it likely 2weeks after my holiday or during, trading on the beach always works for me :)

Flying Solo, hot blonde would be better, but I'll find someone over there, normally do :), out of season mind so likely just Germans and they hate Brits so might be tricky!!
 
Suitably BORED, so lets work on method and logic.

Current, 10sma, MAE 10 0.01 0.03 and MAE 18sma 0.03 and 0.05.

Thoughts on above,

Just playing the 18 MAE's look sweet and very profitable last week on UJ.
10sma + MAE 10 0.01 very good for directional entries, I admit to sucking at trading those, too much hesitation.

Trading the 18 direction and range, looks better, the 10 0.03 looks obselete as the 18 0.03 is generally close and better anyway, removing.

Working fine on GU aswell.

Trade Logic!!!

R1 18 SMA has strength, join near 18sma and again near 0.03, on 0.03 breaking the trend is considered broken.

R2 18sma Flat, 1st near 0.03, 2nd near 0.05 exit on 0.05 breaking.

If During R1 18goes flat then change to R2 rules for exit.

If During R2 18 gets strength then exit when R1 trade occurs and take R1 trade.

Don't get stuck on the wrong method, when the market changes.

Give that a try soon :)
 
Quick method check on the day, when the USA woke up ( Bank Holiday here ), then worked pretty well, market stays in the 10 0.05 range most of the day unless trending, then out to the right side :)

It works, bored of messing with methods, lets just trade it and see.
 
Expanding on the slower is better......

MAE 36sma 0.04 is looking promising, good backup secondary 18sma trend, good range while sideways, stays sideways longer might stop my TREND jump on instinct.
 
Very Tired, but lets try to do a objective enough F12 ( 1 bar move ) test!!

UJ 24th March 10am I guess.

36DT Short 111.21 - low 36/18 range exit 15 +6

Same setup, S 111.13 - nearing 110.00 so exit 111.04 + 9 :)

Same 111.04 short, 111.07 short - tricky 18 going + - Exit 111.01 +3 +6 :)

Top range play, 111.06 short, 111.09 short, - uptrend 18 EXIT 07 call it BE!!

Join 18 uptrend L 07, topped out LOL L 111.04 - Ouch 18 DT - Exit 03 -4-1.

Flip, 111.03 Short - 95 Res - turning dratss exit 111.00 + 3

Flip, 111.01 long, waited to long pull back 110.97 Long, exit 111.08 +7 +11 nice!!

Tradeable, STRESS YES, losers, not yet :)
 
Method = KICKING ASS TODAY!!!

No time, find out next week on holiday!!

I was pretty sure, UJ recent double bottom would fail and turn to downtrend as the 36 is heading south and 18 gaining down momo and hey presto.

GU, chipping up the low 36's range, 18 went flat not again, perfect.

EJ's following suite on trend turning down to.

Little bit better, insight into momo turns and very robust ranges = Useable edge.

I don't want to have to go back to work, after my holiday and I might not, this is never going to work till I knock that and a few other time wasting issues on the head.
