Lem's Big Box O' Stuff.

[LeMercenaire]

So, there ya' go - made it in one stretch and my eyes are only partly crossed...

Oh hold on - I have actually got the closed Russ2K H4 trade to add in but I will have to go find the final screen shot and well, I can't be a**** going back in.

I'll get that to you tomorrow some time.

Have a great weekend all and see you when I see you.

Monday June 24th

A late riser on the day and once again, a missed move. Getting to be a habit these days...

An aggressive entry pre-KO - a needlessly aggressive entry I should say - and out just as quickly as pressure is building for a flip to the short side.

DAX +2.5

Sure enough, out just in time...

The DAX being DAXY again!

No worries, play off the reaction and the move was based off the 5-min 23.6 level.

DAX 1-min +7

As price played around with the 5-min fib level, I blitzed the area of indecision...

Wow you have an extensive chart collection. I'm sure they are worth a lot

It's like Pringles...once you start, you just can't stop!

some nice trading going on here

That Russ2K trade.

I gave a fair bit back to the market because I had moved the tp/sl up based on the overall high-point fib and hadn't paid enough attention to the trade to notice that price had dropped back to first the ma and then the Lightning Kumo, both of which should have been / could have been close-out levels.

Oh well. It does just remind me of why I got tired of the longer tf trades. If I pay too much attention to them, then I inevitably close them early as I am generally allergic to giving money back. To combat that tendency, I force myself to leave them alone - and then this kind of thing happens.

Swings-and-roundabouts.

Still a good bag anyway, so I'll shut up moaning about it.

Re the above. You can also see how the U-MACD crossing back under would also have given you warning about getting out as well.

This was a relaxed day that was basically put together as-and-when I could be bothered taking a look at the charts. No grand plane, just an idea of when the best parts of the day were due. A lie-in meant the early morning stuff was ditched but the rest worked out just fine.

Lem are you still playing for 1% a point/pip like when you were only going for +5 off a dead zone etc? Cause if so wow

Not all the time. With The Dead Zone / Buy Zone type of play, I am going for a fixed target, so easy to use the 1% pp but with the scalping on the 1-min / tick charts, I'm not doing that, it's fluid. I have a roughly calculated Dead-Man's Stop and that is my % or $ risk and then I have a cash-amount set pp.

I do go in very heavy and often it can work out at a similar level to the 1% pp but not always.

You trade 1% equals 1 pip?
That's balls right there.
The closest I ever got to the fire was 5 pips = 1%
I think the best I can do now would be 2.5 to 7 pips = 1% because of reduced leverage.
