I was playing with Forex Tester 2 days in the row. I noticed a strange pattern in my trading but I really can't mold it in a concrete strategy.
I was playing with only one pair and the main idea was to enter trades in the opposite direction where the PA roules say. I didn't use any pending orders, just plain brutal market orders. No indicators as well, besides an indicator that displays Demark swing points as support and resistance and that because I like to keep at least some underwear. Offcourse there were discretionary roules like for example not to fight a running trend, a big bar in the opposite direction should be left alone etc. It was like magic. I could almost call every tourning point and I even cached some big trends. Not much thinking and no position sizing. It felt like I was in the zone or something. Naturaly there were some losses too but not anything to care about.
After a couple of hours I started loosing. I told to my self "Dude focus" and the dude focused and the imaginary profits came back.
Unfortunately today I lost my mojo. All my trades were turning in disaster. My entries were so random that I almost blown the account. I did some pointless Internet browsing and I returned back to my tests. This time somehow I had the state of mind like yesterday but I played with a different pair. And again profits everywhere. I did even better than yesterday.
I think I had my aha moment but I really can't keep it.
Has this happened to you? How did you make a strategy from this? Writting roules down is a solution but how do you transfer a state of mind on paper?
