Is it a different trading system ?
Is it possible for you to trade just the exact same way :
for instance
if you use ma, you use them for all trades, no exception?

That is the general idea.
Regarding my trades on Friday I would say that all my entries were by my rules except for 1 where I missed the entry so I entered a few ticks away from my desired entry point.
The problem was that I ignored S/R zones.
Next week I will use a modified rule base.
I believe that I will get to a conclusion with very few iterations.
With that said (written), it is possible that during certain times the outcome of trades will be negative even if rules were followed.

I'm not sure trading multiple cars makes it easier. More decisions to be made re: when to exit and without consistency the drawdowns with several cars could be discouraging. I'll only consider scaling out once I get a consistent win rate. Not saying I'm right just my .02.
I don't want to be rude, but what exactly is the point of this thread? Obviously, a lot of people are following it intently, so I am clearly missing something. An unprofitable trader with a mystery method and people can't seem to get enough of it?
Is this an automated system or is it manual? I ask because there were apparently 10 trades on Friday. Most of the trades I looked at appeared more or less random, which is why I asked about the logic. Maybe you have a great system and can trade that frequently, but my experience has been that it won't work.

In which journal a trader has shown so much self-honesty ?
