Re: Kevin's Journal
1. Get rid of the bollinger bands. Gator does a much better job. Gator does not need support from another indicator. BTDT
2. i like that you have a the correct zoom level in the later picture, first posts were too zoomed in. make sure you see a full picture that has around upto 200 bars. not less than 100 but not more than 200. around that zone. pattern based trading require this.
3. Well done on recording your trades and committing to T20. make sure you stick to the pairs, time frames and max numebr of trades.
4. also make sure you observe daily , weekly stops.
cheers

Re: Kevin's Journal
Thanks for the pointers iMi! I will try to make sure my screen shots show more bars and I will get rid of the Bollinger Bands. I am happy with my trading this week and somewhat surprized by the outcome. After some quick math, it looks like I made just over 4% on my trades. I can't believe this, as I never had any 3 or 4 to one trades. I'll have to look at the numbers again, to verify. I just did the calculations, and I netted 3.42% after commissions on 20 trades.immy wrote: 15 Mar 2018, 22:06 1. Get rid of the bollinger bands. Gator does a much better job.

Re: Kevin's Journal
It does not matter if its 4% up or down. Wrong analysis, Wrong Focus. You gotta talk more like so "I almost completed my first batch of T20 with a DS80%. I'm really happy about that"... it would be perfectly find if you don't even mention about profit because you cannot make profit if you cannot be disciplined.
have a good one.
ps: after numerous experiments with people on and off this forum I can say with certainty that if you play this long enough you'll be making on average 5% per T20. That is A HUGE edge. If you check other peoples journals who you'd notice that have the same results. But then they change and it all goes downhill from there.
