0837EST072909 Did well yesterday (+705%), until typical fall-apart began last night and is probably about to get rid of this account (-50% of this).
0900 Lost account to margin call.
0910 Lost another account.
In my personal life, the first statement paralleled coming into a little real money, which was speedily spent on bills. The '-50%' and on happened when had some disturbing things happen in my personal life.
Thus, my trading mirrors my personal life. A psych routine is in order, and'll take a while to get it to produce regularly. I guess it was just so subtle, versus saying it's my technicals or my mm ability.

2040EST Posted a trade here . Next move that happened (.), don't have a clue. Looks familiar, the midlining of the very important horizontal one-pip line there. Only, I checked the heiken-ashi side (it being a toggle indicator for the bars), and the patterns there showed promise. It seems, perhaps, sometimes you gotta do lines more, other times patterns more, and vertical - horizontal line use may also switch.
2108-25EST Found it. It was a higher bar channel in a decent-sized loop above the predominantly sideways market of today, the channel parallelling exactly (yes, in 1*1 scale, that's all I use now) the deviation I'd drawn from some one-pip bars (1,2,3,4.)
0107EST I was able to see plainly the struggle for PA's direction, given the above idea of two disparate lines aligning for a third idea:
The last, tiny trendline being followed upward on the hre leads PA into conflict soon defeated.
0509EST That last picture found a higher-TF turn, which ruined this post's big profit. (Note to chart: Ignore all lines below PA; almost all the lines above PA are labelled for origin, most referring to pictures above.) I guess I must work together a standard version of the last picture's relation for the "bar channels" thread.
