I was down there last summer for a long weekend, about as far South-West in Wales as you can get without falling off. I must say it is absolutely stunning countryside.

It's still rollin' nicely...

Wonderful coastline, I live in North Wales, unfortunately the beauty of the coastline runs out a bit as it heads north.

Right, this machine is annoying me with not-very-patient prompts that it needs to restart to install the latest W10 feature update, so I am going to bail for a bit. I need some fresh air anyway, getting stale here.

Watch out for them salties!

Back later.

Cable, is being annoying at 50 daily range,
This might be a 70 day range, so hopefully down for another 20. = 70 daily range. Let's see.

That brexit circus has to end. Yesterday was a good opportunity after the queen-intervene-posse. Meanwhile I think I will avoid it. But your daily BB setup after taking out H/L to chase the ADR might work if it finally moves again. Think that might be even more reliable than the first try for + 5. Did you not have even stats on that if I remember correctly?

Today could have totally skipped trading doing so. High broken, low not really, high broken a bit but choppy ..
Fix up, trade sharp ...

Hi H. You can chase the Daily Range with any pair as you know.
Cable is best as is E/J, ( best movers). To have. 50 range is rare, 60 rare, 70 is more like it on a bad day. But 100 is more like it.
I just keep my eye on that 00-00 4 hour bar as an aid.
I haven't taken proper stats for ages but I have knowledge/ experience of movement.
Trade well

My point was just for those without big bank, they could try the second break solely for the huge RR. But it requires discipline, only few trades a week. Maybe some days not even one.

That's exactly what our old friend Bo (Bojack) did. He ran the AU H4 set up but deliberately let the first move go by. Should that then fail, he would then take the trade back the other way and chase the DR. Worked very, very well.

He could never get a handle on using counters (he was also US-based with all the anti-hedging rules that come with that) and so in effect simply took what would have been the counter trade as his main trade.

I could see that running it as a Wick Zone entry would have brought him more but he preferred to keep as close to the original method as possible (it had Billy's stats).

Yeah, you only need to figure out where to put the stops and when to exit. Anything else is hocus pocus. Then I think the trick is also skipping a lot of trades in summer where it will go sideways all day and take stops both sides.

Flat, boring, quiet days are account killers. You can guarantee that anyone who has ever been guilty of over trading, it has been on days like this.

Once you've run your method and your time slot, even if you haven't found anything, if you can't trust yourself not to faff around, shut it down. Come on here and gab about music, the weather, horses, gnomes, whatever, just don't trade for the sake of it.

Go visit a garden centre if that floats yer boat.

You need to figure out a way to recognise when you are beginning to search for trades instead of the set-ups forming naturally. Try and force it and it will always, always, go wrong.

You're still green. So long as the lesson has been learned, it won't have been in vain. You've rocked it once, you can do so again.

Thanks lemercenaire for the kind response,.... I wish I was as solid and consistent as you, Billy, Claudia and mr T.... I think boredom and lack of targets, trading times, greed etc are the main factors off my failure.... Have to be more consistent..... You just know how to pick your trades....it's has been a struggle ever since but luckily I have been improving.... Need some time to review why this happened... For sure it had something to do with emotions..... Thanks everyone here.... Enjoying it being around here... Cheers
