Takes a bit of figuring out but I'm sure you'll manage. Retina is working away on it and we're open to any ideas for changes.

Very interesting. When I did all of the stats on the method I sent you - my brother and I changed about 30 variables and tested. We concluded that using a trail that steps the stop to 20 every 5 to stop out with a BE at 20 netted us nearly double the points on every month. The second biggest improvement was the single filter I added if price CLOSES outside my range it was a no trade - aka breakout. so, maybe add a close outside of range and then enter. ect.

Do not understand the market. Normal pivot targets not reached. Tons of chop, failed BOs ... third losing day in a row with DD eating into profits. Time for a break, seems like nobody is trading anyway for a reason ...
Fix up, trade sharp ...

Don't worry, I don't know what I am doing either.

I think that can already be done. If not I'll pass it on to her.

Like all things a simple idea is starting to get complex. Piptrader runs it 'out the box' on ej and does good.

I would run it out of the box as a control variable and collate stats - then tweak one setting at a time and run it simultaneously on another demo. I mean you can never go wrong with 1:1+ r:r I am still reading the thread. Just letting you know what worked for me.

I have no idea, to be honest. Yesterday it chopped all day. Today it looked like a good BO towards 1.3095-1.31 which I bought, then it started to chop and ate the stop. Market does not behave ...

Break the 50 then the 40 (daily low) then pivot at 29. If pivot acts as support then up we go again. If not 3000 here we come again. That's my plan scribbled down in front of me.

Sounds reasonable, looking at something similar ... trading back under open and testing 40 - 30 (PP) for a decision. Or a chop all day again ... or another rise above the high for D-R1 but looks like a FB now.

Always admire people who are able to use them. I found them to be highly subjective most of the time and sometimes they work, sometimes not really. Easier to look at horizontal levels for me.

Sort of agree. I mainly go by numbers on days like this. But a break of that line and the 50 would be off we go for me. Might be wrong.
