Generally my observation is ET'ers respect OP's journals, that is unless there is obvious and continual BS which I don't see here, my observation is you appear to be keeping it honest, I'm enjoying your witty little comments.

Remember what you said earlier...?
You said you trade best with very small 1-2 tick scalps and you like chop/noise.
Hence when you mentioned increasing stop size I don't think this is a good idea for you.

...and you removed RSI from charts, now added them back again...

 

[padutrader]

you like chop/noise.

a kind of ranging action but not narrow or tight.

but some days you just see trades and some days you dont....

sometimes you see it with ma sometimes with momentum....you need to keep searching

 

[padutrader]

no data release today so must be careful not to go looking for trades....let them come to me

missed 2-3 trades in the morning because i was just watching

now just not seeing anything

why force it

i think should have done this in the morning .....do some fast scalps and get 'warmed up'.

typical american morning when no data release.
