Bought @ 8423.6. The recent low is 8413.1. Spread was 2 Points. So -12,5 Points temporary drawdown (so far).

Going to place a stop at -20 Points again. Makes it a 1:1 RR with TP +20 at.

{quote} So yes, I trade, hedge&average 95% GU. and I am constantly improving this way of trading, I am my own AI;-) my target is 2% per day or 10% per week. and i achieve that sometimes more and sometimes less. the last losing day i looked up was in december 23. yes, it's not easy to explain. i have many different templates that i use. but the best one is still pure price action. this is a fulltime job. or rather a calling. so i don't do the 5pips TP anymore. i try to reach +20TP or what the market gives. going into the woods is really important...
Yeah, you have to step up you're AI these days
Yes, it's helpful, thank you! No confusion

Man, that's awesome. About 6 months green days is truly awesome.

I hope this question is not to far out there but, do you think you could produce similar results with random entries and PA, the way you, wave and the other guys were trading at the beginning of the theard? And how do you handle those runaway these days?

Yes I fully understand the forest/nature thing, I find myself to often glued to the screen. I find even taking a small 15 min walk can outside can work wonders.

Morning

Did IB pay you the dividend on the CFD?

I took 20 points on the Z future, as mentioned before it follows the CFD, at least the last 24 hrs

Cheers

i found some $25 dividend payment but I couldn't assign it to the FTSE CFD because IB is so complicated.

Bit behind on the div gang here as been busy with other bits, but looks good and nice to see it's working.
Asking for a lazy favour here but can I confirm the timings (UK Time).

FTSE: Fridays @ 16.30
CAC : Tues, Fri, Mon @ 16.30
Sounds like a lot of screen time to me.

you can scalp it as well... leave your core position on then get 3 or 4 scalps for a few points each
