Need somewhere to think out loud,

After stupid action report LOL

SL's at 9259.10, it went to 9258.60, 1 more SL pt and 5mins later out near BE, arrseee!!

Looked like a breakout at +$260, 20pt move expected quick +$800 but no :(

Stopped right on the upper BB 20 2.0, then figured uptrend just a pull back.

Method's not quite right, making me take stupid trades with low profit and high risk, getting away with mostly but yeah!!!

Slight Tweak needed, not sure how mind.
 
That 6 direction, range is good, but getting me into too many chop plays.

The BB part is working better, think I need to fully embrace BB bands.

Sad part is, had SL at BE LOL moved it, $600 bucks ouch, feel kinda sick :(

BB 10sma 1.4 and 2.8Dev look perfect for what I'm after.

10 calls the direction, and the BB's autoset the action nicely before a direction change.

10 sma mid going up, look to join near the low 1.4, SL out before the 2.8.

10sma flat then play range near the 2.8dev

Plan accepted.

Can't believe, 3 clicks and I'd of been +$800 better off, what a game LOL
 
New plan looks better.

lets get back to Direction via the 10sma then range to play with via the BB 10 1.4.

I'd turned into a scratch trader, play a spike and reverse, which is too scarey to hold for long.

Back on Track!!
 
Okay, trade NQ 9077 short, up move, then sideways BB closed, SL 84, just closed at 61 +$160 :)

Trades have all turned 3 - 6pts, then out quick as I'm technically counter trend, I was making 1 or 2 trades per day and banking my $200 with wayyyy less stress.

Old habits creep back in, but realising sooner and slaying them.

Going to need some watching time to trust entry with trend no doubt, entry NQ short here 9062 but I'd expect change to up, so staying out.

Need to get back to 1, $10 position aswell, I'm averaging in and using 2 or 3, $10 positions to try to make money, rather than jump on longer moves and make $200 - $300 off 1 trade.
 
Demo played 9060 short to 9051 +9 easy as.

The short 64 range play as 10 flat.

10 turning up, we'll see if legit.

Need less stress in my trading, or I'll burn out and screw up like today basically.
 
That's enough Sim, that up didn't go very far, then turned down small loss.

Then entry bang on 1.4d upper 61 to 53 currently.

I'm really starting to like this theory, the reward is back, simple on trend method and wayyyyy less stress.

SL strategy not sure yet, might have to auto follow and work out BB values via Meta 4.

SLEEP! shattered!!
 
Busy day, keep seeing the entry point, but 60/40 with longer trend hence 60% profit rate.

So take 1 trade and profit 60% of the time, or do I take both sides if possible, long low range, short high range and let the SL take care of direction.

Or will I just be chopped to death and both have SL for double the fun LOL
