Bias here is short too.

Its was short yesterday already but i got in trouble with my shorts there.

It might be that this bias is influenced here by something emotional saying "price is very high, actually it should drop". Others might say its a strong up trend and it will even go higher.

Like said on the weekly chart from a statistical point of view the last time i noticed 7 weeks closing green in a row was back end of 2012. We are now in the beginning of week 6, so might be an idea to look short at least by next week.

my bias is totally reflected off the 00-00 4 hour bar high/low.
i never think, as there are too many contradictions ie, over bough/sold , highs/lows etc
i just keep to my lines and times.

Yeah. I actually try not having a bias at all. Its more a observation than a bias used to make a decicion. Too much contradictions, like you say. Trading the lines.

Same here now after going short on the 08-15 low break. Counting in spread/com for the last trades -6 for the week but already looks friendlier now.

Having profit goals however, lets see if i am able to end the week with +5 at least after the fail yesterday. 3 days to go. So a theoretical +15 left, i could end with +9 (15-6). One more fail however it will become taff without making additional points somewhere/somehow else.

i was finished before 13-00 US open, then it dropped even further yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay.

i fixed my counter off retrace trades in the 00-00 4 hour range.
i only needed 4 points plus my holding fee, that was good plus a few shekels extra yaaaaaaaaaaay

{quote} Yes. I did not counter/locked it. I went in like regular this morning (traded the line). So bought at the high. SL at the opposite end of the range. This got me -14. Then i took another short trying to reduce my loss a little bit by looking for +5 again, but got out for -8 again. So -22 at this time. Then i had 2 more buys but could only manage +3 Pips on them. So right now at -19 (-$1000). So maybe it would have been better stayed at the sideline today. Maybe i would have. But didn´t even notice about the holidays. Now its easy to say after...

In my opinion, and if you look at historical data, you'll notice that this kind of wipeout happens from time to time, but this one was special. I think it is one of the most severe wipeouts out there (maybe not the most, but one of the ugliest for sure). I've had 2 more losses after I told you that I was buying yesterday.
Eventually, it broke and made a lot of pips, and I am barely positive.

If I had to give my own perspective, it will be to start with a small position that will give you enough room for losing streaks. You are using the other side of the range, so you would have been able to finish your day green, and I think make much more than I did. I think you were you one or two trades away from that break north?

Yesterday the high failed and i actually wanted to counter / lock-in the loss. After that failed due to my own mistakes on trade management i got stopped out instead. But no problem. Otherwise i would probably not have executed any further trades and would have waited instead for today after having noticed about the bank holidays and ugly movement price did until that point.

I would then have tried to release the position with today`s BillyBar setup again. So at time of the first high break would have closed the negative side at -29. While sticking to the long position from yesterday at +15 but looking for additional +14 pips from there so i could close it for break even.

Plus. I would have added another long position looking for only +5 on the break today like normally.

Now its easy to say this would have worked out because the high break today was good for +15 before retracing back and i would have fixed the fail + banked my +5 with the second position.

Regarding to starting with a lower position size and then increase. Well this sounds nice in theory but this also will lower your profits. If you want to call it a day early once booked in that +5. But then you are more likely to keep on trading looking for these extra points because that +5 would´t be the same $$$ or %%% trading it at a lower size.

But yes, i always make sure to have gas left in the tank. I would´t go ALL in with a single breakout trade here at the start of the day.

I don´t need/want to make any more than +5 as an AVERAGE per day. If there are 20-22 trading days a month and my win rate for achieving this goal is only about 50% this would leave me with 25 green Pips by the end of the month.

This would be more than enough for me. 25 Points can mean $250, they can mean $25000...

{quote} It should be going up although we have hit 3 year highs. Problem is the Prime Minister moves the goal posts every day. Sitting out until NY opens - might see some sense then. @ Lem having an afternoon at Kempton - have a look if you get a chance. Gosden has a sure winner but low odds.

Won at 5/4.

Edit: Adam just gave me a 22/1 winner in the 15.55 - lol that's enough for the day.

Took me a bit longer to admit before I realised you were talking about horses. I was searching through the thread for an "Adam strategy based of the 15:55 bar" xD

Finally managed to get some time back on the screens. What a rubbish day, lol...so many games being played and deadly for the unwary.

Anyway, stuck to it and came out just fine mostly Kijun-sen and dynamic-fib triggers. Simple stuff. Patience and take what you get from the best shots.
