I've come to the conclusion that trading in a way that requires constant update while at work, even with absolute understanding of your system, is like a cat licking its butt. Sure you're getting cleaner but at what expense?
So, here i am. Working on trading in a way that at most will require a glance at the charts once or twice a day.
Still the same stuff. Anything on my charts are stuff i programmed for reference.
Vertical lines marking a time of day.
Horizontal grey lines marking numbers like 100 and 150.
Horizontal maroon lines marking numbers like 100 and 150 from the futures and translating them onto the cash market chart.
I also have an indicator that i programmed that shows the distance between the open and the high and the open and the low per bar. I also dropped a standard deviation and a moving average on it. Its just for stop placement.
Took off the weekly opens, when they had reactions, it was on a round number like 100 or 150 95% of the time.
Everything else is just my understanding of price action. Not candle stick theory or anything like that, just looking at what price did.
What did it do when it got someplace i thought something should happen?
What didn't it do?
What happened after all that?
