It looks to me that the best (most) wins are the ones that go in the direction of the Heiken dot indicator... or am I wrong?

so what was total wins and total losses for today i count 9 1/2 wins 6 losses thats 16 trades i would have stopped at 10 which would have you at 4 1/2 wins 5 losses which is not terrible considering the PA today total -1 tick plus 45 comm for the 10 trades

has anybody registered an account with Cannon? I install default MACD settings with HA, but the picture looks very smoothed. Can`t find out the reason

I have been looking at the indicator at its default settings and think I understand what might be going on. it seems the bb might be important info as when price crosses to the lower band we might be able to ride it don't know if I am explaining it right but put up a default setting of the macd/bb/ha and tell me what you think

heres one
Thanks, H... is that about a 10 period spag boll ?

I'm interested how you get on with it, but me, I think "Less is more" with this method. Taking yesterday as an example - a difficult main part of the US session... but if you had traded the last hour, you made it back 3x over.

Can't avoid all losers. I do continue to experiment with range size.

And a quote for today :

"If a warrior is to succeed at anything, the success must come gently, with a great deal of effort but with no stress or obsession."

heres another observation it seems when price comes back inside the bb from the lower bb that might be an entry and visa versa for shorts am I seeing this correctly

I understand jt yesterday was my first losing day of month so I am not upset. I am always looking to improve not to be perfect but I like to know why an indi was made and its function can find any info on it except what I am observing. in my 14 yrs of trading I have also sort to increase my rr to at least risk 1 to make 2 but have not discovered it yet so I keep looking while I scalp 11 12 ticks at a time

Divergence - I found a count down timer on Sierra by clicking the "add custom study" button then "AT Custom Studies and Examples" then "CountDown Timer". Is that the one I see on your charts?
