Billy-Bar broke low. turned back inside for now. I am not on, as I figure a Long bias. We shall see.

Lack of a real trend makes this very hard to trade. It would be great to end the Brexit chapter once and for all and go back to technical trading. Then also it is August: Probably one of the worst months, along with mid dec - mid January.

Agreed. As for the BB, trading the bar as a WZ Short right from the start would have bagged the +5 fine but I want to let the true method have the first bite in most cases.

Think I'll call it there for now. Not too shabby.

DAX so far:

+57.9

You know I believe in the RR, and putting on trades without fixed exit points is just not for me. I wish I was able to do it like you day in and day out, but not being so brilliant, I need to wait a lot for some H1 trend to develop and trade it via m5 and sometimes m1 ... maybe Boris will say something silly, as Claudia likes to say.

I have been having a discussion elsewhere in the FX galaxy as to whether one can be wired to be a scalper and a longer time-frame trader at the same time. In my case, if I am in scalping mode (and let's face it, that's 99.99999% of the time), then no matter how hard I try, I just get so bored with anything else. I can still see what to do, see it happening but my brain just goes, meh...

I have actually forgotten about a handful of Daily and H4 tf trades I had running a month or so ago. Eventually came across them again, lol.

I am sure, going by how much I enjoyed it in the past, that were I to flip it the other way and begin to run high time-frame methods full time again, then I would shred my mind trying to get up to speed to trade down at the razor's edge.

For me, that's how I see it. For you, maybe you just have that other side of the brain more solidly wired and if that's what works for you, why would you try to change?

Hi lem,

May I ask you what your profit% to max DD is on average in a year basis? 1:1? 2:1?..

Not just Boris you have to worry about these days there's plenty more of them capable of saying silly things. Mustn't forget Donald either. Did I read he wants to buy Greenland ??

That is right, we are all different. I can wait for something good to happen all day if I know it will come up eventually. Sometimes it does not. But when there is more good than bad after the week, it works for me. However, I admire the high-speed scalpers. Most of them are financially dead though, but you are here for quite some time now ...

You read correctly Claudia. He has now cancelled a scheduled visit to Denmark, at the last minute, because Denmark told him Greenland is not for sale.

No, that was Billy - but he bought the New Forest instead and told The Donald he could have Greenland if he wanted it.
