I have found there to be some steady gains to have leading to the NY close, which is to say around 1900 to 2100 BST
117 net pips for me this week on main account. Not trading today (Friday). Nice feelings.
woops, recounted, it's 130pips. even better .
DAX. h4, AO has started to look tired the last 48hrs, a fractal is forming on D1 Wednesday, maybe the momentum for a new high is fading

Re: Ray's amnesty page
After a long weekend away I was pleased to find Dax behaving as well as usual
3 main goes today, 29.3 pips, decent ROI with average SL of 10
1330BST update: another 9 pips on a short soon after NYO

Re: Ray's amnesty page
Why did I get out so quick, and miss the further breakout of the current bar?

7.7 more pips, 46 so far today

Re: Ray's amnesty page
Wednesday, all on dax m5, 7 trades in total yielding 51.2 between 7 am and 6pm London time. (I wasn't at the controls all the time obviously!)
Of course I'm happy it's a satisfactory result, but I have been back through all my trades and realised I'd perhaps given away the opportunity for dozens more pips out of the same trades
1) All the entries were according to S2 if not S1 setups
2) One of them was a loser, and only by a little bit, where I had set the SL the other side of the red alligator line, not the opposite end of the aims box, which would have kept me in, and led to profit
3) Some were fortuitiously within 5 pips of the highest price achieved during that bar or the following 6 bars (i.e. 30 minutes)
4) Some of them the price went the wrong way or I missed a few pips profit, but I was not kicked out by the preset SL. However I had the psychological problem of wanting to get out with at least a moderate profit as soon as the price turned back around. Often these were exits taken soon after a new break of aims, but soon after such I notice the price carried on getting better, and these were the opportunities foregone
Perhaps the message is that if there is a pullback (not a full w2 or w4 even), the price will often surge to a greater extreme than before, and when I see that happening I should tighten up the stop loss but develop the tenacity to leave it running.
I'm talking to myself, but that's what journals are for.

Re: Ray's amnesty page
Dax m5, FO/LO
One badly judged move - SL hit
Followed by a better move in the opposite direction, which I got out of manually, with 19 pips, more than compensating for the first loss
ROC........... over 4% net

Re: Ray's amnesty page
I have to confess I didn't enjoy that success, today was a bit full of opportunities for those who were here and poised for them.
In spite of not getting all of them right, my latest trade was taken long, Dax, m5, break of aims, prior to AO crossover and without a sleepy gator, but yielded about 30 pips

Re: Ray's amnesty page
Nothing to do with Aims, I realise, but I opened an old demo account yesterday and must have left it running.
I could hear bells ringing like Christmas in the early pm and what it was there's an old robot attached and it was trading like crazy
and for 1.0pc risk it had made over 10pc ROI (on demo of course where there is no slippage etc) in a matter of minutes.
That was on EURUSD, and it was a system which worked well about 3 years ago then seemed to stop working because the required volatility was not existent and some of the mt4 rebuilds were also delaying instructions.
Not many robots do work, in fact I would say hardly any at all, but that one used to well, typically 15pc returns a week.
So if we didn't think there was any volatility in currency the other day all we needed do was wait.
HAPPY NFP

Re: Ray's amnesty page
Monday: Germany/Switzerland/France holiday
Therefore any Dax trades were just going to be passive, nevertheless I think I can get out of today with a profit.
Opened long trade at break of aims resistance level to the left of the chart and still in, the yellows are 34SMA and 5EMA, crossing points are good for getting out and the momentum is still up as alligator is mouth open
