Tinkering around - still haven't had lunch or picked up new car-keys, lol - and was waiting for a DAX HOLO entry...looked to have stalled before quite getting there and so I jumped on a quick drop using the Supply Zone that was causing the stall. Nothing giant but fine by me.

Was buying EURUSD lows... finally cleared. Got a bit dicey as I had two lots in total.

Billy - I found this variation on your 8 am Cable bar - might interest some here to experiment.

You'll find there's ten million...sorry ten million-and-one variants on a London Breakout.

A crucial observation you made there young Lem. Many variants often lead to an aspiring trader to hop from one approach or system to another. They hit a loser or two on the current approach and they rush off to the next variation, hoping that "this one" is the holy grail of perfect trading. Many methods out there but "stickability," in relation to one approach, on the part of the student, is often lacking.

Here's one for you, Claudia.

About as exotic as it gets while still staying withing the boundaries of some sort of sanity.

USD / Offshore Chinese Yuan

I wouldn't get too carried away with any long action, mind you. Today may have been the bounce to be on for a while...

True. It's also true that the fact that there are so many breakout methods floating around that ultimately don't work, that the ones (including those here) that do work, are easily dismissed by those who are unwilling to develop that ''stickability'' as you put it.

Sometimes you gotta' take a step back.

Overthinking.

Kills ya'...dead.

This week so far, for example. DAX. Been a scrappy week all told. Job got done but had to get down and dirty sometimes. That's fine, I kind of perversely enjoy it.

However.

Overthinking (as I said). Here's this week so far simply run as a Daily WZ. All long bias, so all looking for a break North.

My punter is a computer phenom and he is into that in a major way. I will see him tomorrow and ask for his thoughts on the matter. I am sure he can answer any questions you may have.

this article seems to summarize BTC pretty well. If you actually wanted to make money, you might as well invest into a machine made to mine.

That's exactly what my computer genius punter is working on through university, so I would agree.

Having had one hour's sleep, perhaps tangling with The DAX isn't very wise, lol. We'll see...

Ended up with a weak set-up for any true WZ move I was wanting, so I looked sideways for something else. Got it.

Took a short as a Rat (ish) Trade (combo with Supply Zone). A Stainless Steel Rat, lol...

DAX (Short Rat) +5%
