To improve is to change. To perfect, is to change often.

Hi FH,
thanks for the words. Good i haven't seen the trendline
. I 'am just sitting at the front of my PC and just watching the trades every ~10 minutes but won't change a trade when i think i should. Even when the decision was 'right' i just would have killed the strategy. But do you think i shouldn't watch at a daily support or resistance line when setting the TP/SL? Okay. Don't tell me. I know the answer. Sometimes i think everyone tries to make a good advice even better but in the end you are loosing yourself into empty space and your brain with a headage 
Thanks again and also a sunny weekend. Here in germany finally the spring seems to show up...

Repeat after me: "The B-O in SSBO stand for Breakout. Not trend, not trendline, and definitely not daily pivot. Breakout." Just keep repeating that line over and over until the simplicity of it finally sinks in. The more you add to it, the less simple it becomes, and the more you just hurt yourself and delay your own graduation into the world of care free professional trading. The whole time you guys were carrying on about trend tonight (2:20AM here in Vegas at the moment), I was bored stiff and fighting to stay awake. So stop adding stuff where...
Hi FXH
With such nice boxes who cares about the trend...

Hi Joe,
what does mean trend? It only says how price tends to went in the past. There is a higher possibility that the trend will consist but nothing more. But the question is: does it help SSBO? As FXH posted some pages ago: When you add your trendlines or indie or whatever seems to improve SSBO in your opinion. Then do forward testing it for at least 100 days. When it seems to add something usefull to SSBO show us trades that proof it. Than it would be great to confirm this and FXH and finally XUX will integrate it into the indie/EA. (I think that was the essence of that post
)
I for myself also look for something that improves SSBO. When i found something myself i will surely raise my hands :-)
Besides that: I'am still in the cable trade.
This are my 2 noobish cents...
