This is my first trade of the day, long with 5 CL contracts. In this trade there was a clear unbalance between buyers and sellers; looking at the chart it took 1500 delta values to make a down leg of around 75 pips, whereas it took the same delta value to make 25 pips on the up leg with a 1:3 ratio move in favor of sellers. I decided to close the trade near the TL with a loss of -362 USD.
Below the PA 10 minutes later with Price going down 20 pips away from my closing price ( the MAE would have been 1250 USD higher). I will not make a stop n go, I'd rather wait for another opportunity.
Like I mentioned in post #83, 1.4308 was an important support level for the 6E, the market went below and started a down trend. The next support level (see image attached) was 100 pips below at 1.4208
The rule would have been not to trade, but the purpose of a method is also to show bad trades and how to reduce the risk with the trade management. I took a trade at around 11.00 am CET and scaled up to 5 contracts. I decided to stop the scaling at 5 contracts, I wanted to see if the market would test the 1.4208 and I needed my stop management below this level.
The market retraced but not enough, as the down trend was pretty strong and I have been in the trade for 4 hours I decided to avoid a stop management at 5000 USD and I closed the trade at 1.4245 with a loss -1500 USD
Like I mentioned in post #27, the real problem with this method is not how to make money but rather how to keep it. Since the cumulated profit (from june 1st) is over 8000 USD and today I avoided for 2 times a stop management I am still confident that there will be other chances to recover this loss.
