Note the one to the left of Buy signal didn't close outside BBands. And the mishmash late in the trading day into the close would not have been taken for that reason.
Here's another.!
Thanks, I need to look at BB & RSI.
Early this year, I decided to give day trading another look, first picked trend following, backtested, next paper traded and finally went live two weeks ago with scaled down sizes. It is too early to tell if the method has positive expectancy.
I have a couple of questions for practicing day traders on ET:
1. How many trades a day do you make on average? 4 - 8 roundtrips daily
I know the answer depends on your style. I appreciate it if you guys can give me, a wannabe trend trader, some guidance. Day trade the same ONE (1) stock for the last 3 yrs. with a daily volume over 10 Million. That has a daily range of ~$2- $5
2. What is your profit expectation? $400 - $1500 daily
My three months paper trades showed 1.2% profit a day, on average. That is 300% a year without compounding! What is a realistic annual return? IMHO.... paper trading more than 3 days to learn a new platform , is a waste of time.
As a frame of reference, for the last decade, my stock portfolio only achieved several percentages in CAGR above SP500 and my options only a few percentages CAGR above my portfolio. Happy Trading
Thank you in advance.

You convinced me that trend following is like printing $. Maybe I should go back to your trend following, swinging 50MA and 200MA like Turtles?
Have a good day Mr Turtle.
