Waiting patiently for the 1st hour to print. Then try to get something. Everything trades small. I think this is intentional.

Hey Kev

Still working on it. Reality check is I may need to get a part time job until I get this going full out. With my focus on - attempting - to get the SP500 as precise as possible I can with no volume and no fancy time frames is slow. Cash is running low.

Understanding trading is easy. Execution, yeah that's a whole different creature.

Other than all that I am still alive.

Lick your wounds and go at it again.

So I looked into the CCI. It has potential, but not what I wanted. I did take the lsma - least squares moving average, same as a linear regression ma. Everything else is still using the base 30.

LSMA is set to 22 with a 3 period simple as the trigger line. And I threw a 2 period RSI, ala Conners from the 90s, on there.

The perpetual search for the perfect entry.

metaquotes mt5 is seriously lacking in some basic features.

All the apple fanboys will be in line to through away some more money.

Have #2 fairly squared. I am well aware I am short term. Made the brief attempt to go a bit longer.

So, knowing that I work on getting #1 to suit #2.

The psychological aspect of trading is similar to golf. One little thing will throw your entire game off.

I will get this.

Take care

Just thinking to myself.. I said self the golfer hits five bad shots in a row but he's got to keep on playing... Myself I hit five bad shots this morning and I stopped... Difference being I could keep losing or I could cut my losses and just wait another day.. Whereas the golfer he doesn't necessarily lose any more by continuing the game... Although the golfer does risk losing his psychological capital his mental game if he keeps on playing bad he has to deal with it he can't stop. Self mastery the key to success in high performance endeavors.,
There in is the difference. The golfer has to keep playing. We, however, have the option to stop and reevaluate. We come back the next day though so we, in essence, keep playing.

Part of self mastery is to accept that sometimes the day just sucks. Stop and go garden or fish or whatever and come back tomorrow with a clear head.
