In my experience trading on sim is so much psychologically different. Easier by multitudes. For most people they WOULD do better on sim. Doesn't mean they would have had those trades live.
Agian for me, I go sim... do awesome... get over confident... go live.... F*#&# things up to an inch of my account... go back to amazing sim trading. For that reason I try to stay %100 live.
In your case you probably would have taken those trades live and done very well.
Curious. What is your criteria for going to sim and/or back to live?
I rarely ever trade SIM. Yesterday was the first time I tried using an additional chart (The 15 second one with the indicator)..So after I had won a very nice day live, I decided to practice the new setup on SIM. So Sim is only for experimenting with something new,,,and basically I haven't changed any of my charts..bar types etc..in several years. I was just trying to have something that might add some additional context..but my system remains almost 100% the same as it's been.
Your chart above made me think of a faster time frame for entries but only in context of my 5 min. RTH. Focusing more on candles. But then, started applying the same thought to my 34 second chart.
So the chart below is the area that you took the trade yesterday. The high/low of the box is your SL/TP.
This chart has a colored 20sma (34 sec.) and a 20sma (5min.) and a gold 200sma.
Just thought I would share it as an option for anyone interested. Of course, yours is sooo much prettier!
Today, this has provided great entries. I get a broad sense of the market with the 5 minute chart but am able to drill down and get much better entries.
Thanks for your chart. It provided stimulus to look at things differently.
