First - congrats on your good ranking in the fio journal contest!
Then just to mention that today Frankfurt is open for trading. There is a higher risk as the volumes are not there - but the vola might be high today!
So - just for stronger nerves
As you do have days that are excluded by your hard rules you will be relaxed.
Happy holidays
Thanks for your message. Your trade is going strong!!
With only 11 occasions in 11 years (of which 8x IBS), and with below outcomes, I decided not to trade today. The short 9:30-10:00 would be good, the long from 10:30-11:30 with a small SL would have been a loss, together a profit.
Indeed, no stress
The IB is long, but only 2 points (so no clear direction, although HL is 81pts).
9:00 am opening is on the RTH high of last Friday, so also difficult to say up gap or no gap (one of the leading indications for a trade).
Thanks.
Yeah, that journal was just a quick trial.
I found a way to check many variables in Excel. While if I would need to backtest this in Ninjatrader, it's (almost?) impossible to get the detail I have now. Like seeing the results with different SL's. In NT I had to run the backtest for each SL, and then writing the results down to compare and stuff.
Excel always has been my favourite tool, and that is helping me now big time.
I want first to see more of it, but until now, the results look good. And is making money. Happy with that
