Need somewhere to think out loud,
- Thread starter Turveyd
- Start date
Entry method working well i see, tidy indeed.
SL logic decided Envelope 16sma 0.08 breaks that well about 10% fake breakouts so fake SLs.
Need to place limit line so i can tweak and exit easily rather than stress self out hovering over exit button.
Not sure 8f market in or limit away and move into play yet, risk of big move hitting limit.

First Trade trying to be more efficent and I like less STRESS!!!
Set a Limit order, moved it graphically when I thought price nearing entry point, it filled, price went up simple.
TP set at +20 DAX failing to break an area, looking weak, moved Limit into that area, out high of range +6pts
Ohhh FFS FFS FFS Calendar messed up Time, didn't spot 3pm here news, massive gap down, had Limit for -1 wasn't liking, got 0.2 from, then bam SL broken and -18pts. Saw YM drop, wasn't quick enough to hit close
Good job, training size, getting slapped silly!!
Arseeeeeee!!
Made back +10 just so not down huge.
Liking Limit setting, feels more planny rather than OMG in, crap that's a bad price, set limit 13201 and waited for it to fill, before I'd of jumped on a up blip, paid top of blip to watch it pull back.
That's enough of this week, feels like I've been chewed up and spat out, hopefully volume return next week more fluid.
Back next week, Clear Head and trade the damn method to the letter!!
DAX just turned Env 16 0.08 on the dot then back with 16s direction, nice!!
Method is strong, luck is weak!!

DAX 16sma trend held well, yes got a bouce off the 13200 area, sold out a bit to soon, then a crazy 30pt move down.
Back Testing, really strong and a 0.09% range.
16 turned up 10mins ago on DAX, the 10 BB capped the top twice, was tempted to go long and it would of worked typically.
So 16 and 0.09% Locked 100% valid edge.
BB 10 2.2 has it's moments good and bad. SL Size required goes stupid at times, bla bla bla bla. Thining 8sma + Env 8sma 0.04% cleaned and better.
16 0.09% range held again 13198.
8 called entries with trend lots before USA open, since kinda random. BB 10 worked earlier well to.
DAX chopping into close, YM nice little downtrend formed moved 30pts since entry, make that 40 damn it!!
DAX Long 13199 order, try to play the chop, missed the boat, but better than joining end of the trip at a bad price, Errrr did well
Got weekend to contemplate how shite I am and work through these issue, town and cake time!!
16 Rules KEEPER, might be better off with 8's, maybe a 16 0.05% ???
That Trade filled L 13199 Limit 13209 set, exit +7 before Spread widens to 2, 2mins too early as always LOL
Looking line, 16 0.01, 0.05 and 0.09 work great then a Env 6sma 0.01 for fast momo move entry.
Try to join the 16 direction, without the BS BB 10
US30, called 16 uptrend and entry worked.
GOT TO GO!!! Next week, work on timing entries manually with the 16 logic direction and ranges as my over watch to keep me on the straight ish and narrow.
Need to get good at trading that 6 logic, break out trades aswell, had that cracked a while back.
CAKE!!!

Good YM Move!! ( can't find Lock for Gym arrseeeee )
Issue is, as always I'm taking the wrong look like winner trades the easy 1's, but they all fail, it's the setups I can't take that work, need to get this fixed again.
I wasn't trusting the BB Entry on it's own, then clusters with 16 trend that is wasn't allowing, which kicked ass for a tiny SL.
Close, but so far away same time, will I ever crack this POS market BS, why don't news things ever move the market my way

Better Sim trade, better get head in the game, cause walking around with a cyrstal up my butt ( see other thread ) is wayyy too nice strangely.
DAX 9:30am gmt 19th Dec!!
16 down, look for entry to join.....
Turning up ( entry before made +8)
missed a top I see, Sideways Chop!
Long 13190 SL 83 range play, Exit 13204 +14 ( saw 214 )
Need to define, what counts as trend and just pretty much flat still, arseeeee!!
Sell off ?? No range missed 13194 long, Fast down reverses looks scarey so don't play.
Next move, slow down, but broke down, no entry, no way to tell it would do that ofcourse.
After move, some range stuff to take.
uptrend to join doesn't go far.
BB 16sma 2.0 and 3.0 call Ranges better and adapt
Need to stick to BB's adapts better, removed the 6 aswell, gets in the way.
Play the Ranges with direction when the SL outside BB 16 3.0 isn't too far away.
Joining Breakouts from BB is where the money is at.

So applying BB Logic.
Either Playing the range or joining the breakout from range, which means flipping position quickly, how reliable are breakouts I guess is the question.
Dax 3rd December, break out hunting mode and range test to.
Range Held
Range Held
Range Held
Range failed 4pt, no breakout
Range failed 6pt, no breakout
Range Held
Range failed, breakout worth 15pts
Env 4sma 0.02 comes into play in break outs, tight SL mind.
Breakout up, market in that kinda mood, 4 called entries on the way up.
stupid time here, someone bombed someone no doubt..
Range holds multiple times range into US open
Good theory for that day........
Looking like worthwhile edges, obvs never the same live, but maybe, was trying to be too directionally all the time so not taking ranges that worked then trading direction in range bla bla bla got to get head unscrewed.
Throw in some random bad luck and hey presto = BAD start to 2020!!

Nearly time to lose more $$$$'s 
Method trying to lock......
Envelope 16sma 0.01 ( main direction )
BB 16sma 1.8 and 3.0
Envelope 4sma 0.02 when you just need to jump on and ride it!!
Looked at 100's of days charts trying to get head sorted.
It's a simple decision, playing Range or Direction, what I think, flip it LOL

You're changing your 'method' on a daily basis it seems. And always - it's 'perfect' on those new settings.
It seems to me you're lacking a bit of context when trading the indices.
How about trying to zoom out a bit and think about how the entire day will look like? If you do that, you can filter your signals and use that additional information to discard the ones that are likely to be false.

Staying around a theme and improving I hope atleast some of the time.
I only trade on the here and know, I don't see how the D1 or picture has any bearing on that, gave up on that 5years back.
Issue is, I'm going in with a mindset, trade Chop Method or Trend Method, then I'm trying to stick to that, I need to remove the mindset and trade what's going on and adapt, issue being I always seem to be on the wrong mindset hence getting ass kicked.
On it, few more decades and it'll be cracked, just got to crack living at 200+ and I'm golden.
