Why am I so keen on naming things?

Because my threads have a lot of different stuff posted so I must make sure to differentiate them to make sure people know which one I'm referring to. And, my brain just can't stop working. Especially during the weekends. Is this a curse or a blessing?

One win for 1R, missed one entry, two losses in a row, then grabbed 2R. Why? Because I lost twice and since it was probably the last trade of the day due to my trading time I said I might as well go for 2 .

All in all, BE day. Grabbing more than 1R feels good. Makes the losses feel more insignificant.. would need to find a way to do this.

After commissions and all I'm sightly above BE for the week, so not bad, I mean yeah it's not good because my trading isn't very good but not bad for just starting this method. I really like the multiple entries it gives every day on M1 which is a chart I like.

Also I've started reading your WIL in the other thread. I'm having trouble understanding quite a few things there , or, I guess it's not that I'm not 'understanding' it, I just have trouble putting the points into the chart. Will go over them a few times more and see what I can grab.

Position sizing is how you minimize risk and maximize reward; it also allows you to rescue trades by adjusting your average price.

This one I am intrigued by.
After an expansion then 1 fractal to an opposite fractal seems to be a good place to get in and out.

Looking further the fractals seem to occur before a criss cross over to the other side of the band.

You can do a lot of things with BB and the one that you are describing is fit for when the market goes sideways. However, if the range is too tight then you'll get butchered.

Why this combo is good? Imagine going into a knife fight with a knife in each hand. When it's ranging you'll make money, when it's trending you'll also make money. When it's ranging you scalp the hell out of it, when it's trending you ride it up or down.

Just YT or google for more market scenarios.

Thanks Don, will do some homework.

So I was trying to play with Strats and try to look for it on the net but apparently, they are for sell only. No free ones? Why not make one... well, modify one.

The original indicator was for Stochs overlay on price.

Personally, I feel like the 2s need to be on the opposite side, just as the moving average would appear (when it's bullish, MA is below the price and vice versa).

[Don_xyZ]

Why the fractal needs to be placed in the middle? Why not at the end of the candle when the fractal is really actually completed?

Looks like your fractal picked up a few that the main indicator didn't, must be a slightly different formula.
Your arrows point the correct way which is good, not like the fractal....
An in between suggestion could be to have the arrow appear before the close when it is below 50% or two thirds of the prev candle perhaps so you could get the jump before the close?

Markus from Rockwell Trading had a BB video

then he goes on to say that's how he evolved into his Power X strategy that Igazi dissected in his thread. Funny how these things just re appear again.
