52 to go. No new observations on this one I think, other than using the SMA as a bias seems good. I'm seeing zlines where price bounces off in a lot of candles, so following the SMA bias would keep me from going nuts on every move :lol: GU_05132022_A_ZLentry.png GU_05132022_B_ZLentry.png GU_05122022...

57 to go. This week had a few examples of a 'flatter' SMA. It seems that those are the tougher days, entries don't run much. Seems difficult to know real time when it's going to be a more 'ranging' day. Still good for grabbing 1:1s! GU_05202022_ZLentry.png GU_05192022_ZLentry.png GU_05182022_A_ZLent...

Glancing over this whole page, I see much more green than red! I'm not even counting when it goes beyond 1R, but it seems that zline entries have a really nice hitrate.

62 to go. I'm seeing that a lot of zlines entries are very tight, as in as soon as it gets to the level it bounces; sometimes it even misses the entry by less than a pip and it bounces right there. Using small stops looks like a good idea for this type of trade. GU_05272022_ZLentry.png GU_05262022_A...

67 to go. Some candle can produce a zline; but sometimes there are more than 1 zline off that candle. Sometimes it just pops off the previous candle, and other times it 'feels' better to place them at a level were many wicks were broken by that candle.

72 to go. Again, when price takes too long to come back, it either bounces weak, or it just keeps going. Maybe wait up to 2 candles and if takes more than that scratch the possible zline bounce entry? Also, just eyeballing this but I'm noticing much more winners than losers and quite a few winners t...

77 to go. Hope this experiment isn't ridiculous. I don't mean to spam or flood the forums with these. Noticing that quite a lot of times it goes past the 1R. I'll write down all these stats once I finish the 100 sessions, which is about a third of a year's worth of trading I think. GU_06172022_A_ZLe...

82 to go. ZLines are discretionary. Stop loss placement I'm starting to realize that is also discretionary. But from what I'm seeing is better to have a tighter one; not super tight, but tight enough. I know I'm drawing these with the benefit of hindsight but I'm trying to be as fair as I can taking...

86 to go. This is also a discipline test; maybe by charting the same thing over and over I can start to build confidence. I'm noticing that in some runs there is zline after zline. I guess this is how 'stacking' is done sometimes. But for the time being I'll just count them as different entries to k...

91 to go. Some I uploaded twice to see so that they're clearer.
