Honestly I like it way better, very smooth equity curve since I switched it up.

Entries are still from M30 but from daily zones.

Crucial part for me is first target at 1r for the break even trade with out-of-the-way stop.

I'm too busy to watch it and close it early so it's been pretty cozy

If I'm ever a pro trader I think it would be nice to continue to trade this way so I can enjoy my millions instead of sweating over spreads and news

You got it! I can't stand being in front of these charts all day long. It's fun a day or two... but man i'd go a little crazy as an all day every day thing. Plenty of money to be pulled from the Dailies when they are behaving too... so yeah.

Goodness...think Gold and Aussie will track in sync again anytime soon? Trying to offset my Aussie longs with Short Gold plays. Gold goes up...Aussie down...Aussie up...Gold down.

Daily Trend Exponential Moving Average (DTEMA) in pink as the starring role. Then a load of dynamically adjusting levels running off of it. Trying to help me identify Range, Trend and Trend exhaustion. Only been trading off it for about a week...liking what I'm seeing. Still tweaking the Gold setup, but getting there now.

pee'd down all weekend, but temp is up in the dbl figures, although my fuckin' idiot of a house mate has gone away for the week and left the heating on with the thermostat turned right up (controls are in his room and the door is locked), so even tho' i've turned off as many radiators as i can, i'm still slowly getting cooked...

trading wise, yeah so so really, had a cpl of bad draw downs since the start of the year, so still not got this nut entirely cracked, but getting there, i'm light years from where i was when i first started and rome wasn't built in a day, so all good really, even better if i can crack this going full tilt, over leveraging, loss chasing bullshit..

Bollocks to the heat! I'd rather be cold and have to layer up. Someone's due a cuff up the backside of the head upon their return!

Good news on the trading, brother. Definitely a marathon. And even then, the best marathon runners shit themselves occasionally!

I've seen a few posts from you over the past few months where I thought...you know, that Arch has really matured as a trader! No shit...good work, mate!
