As you can see from my chart posted, price broke the 15 Minute opening range of the London Open 3 times before finally moving up. A rather rare event (trending day). However most days are not like that and so without setting a limit on the amount of orders i will place, i then get stopped out to death, making these 1-2 trending days a month not paying for all the losses.
I also tried to apply some filters. So instead of placing orders every day like a monkey, i would then only enter if price is above a moving average or similar (to go with the "trend"). In sum i then still end up net unprofitable because you not only filter out a few losing days but also the important winners.
Btw, i got stopped out of my little trade. Now Rick it's your moment to write "I TOLD YOU SO!!!"
Update: Here is an example of a more typical day on GU.
