I think you may have to adjust your rules as the daily range is going to get alot higher due to grinding higher- eg like the Dow.

Thanks @CPRICE76
I will adjust range of course when prices will rest on this level.
Maybe the stop loss settings need a brush over too.
This needs some more data though.

Even the rule to NOT trade today
I followed the adequate wednesday rule to see what would have happened:
entry short 10687, exit 10688: result minus 1 point.
Even that the price made nearly 150 points down to come to nearly the same level

Anything goes in these crazy moves..
Better to stay at the sidelines for sure!

Good trades

Was sitting on the false rule combination. Very rare constellation (had only once in 3 years).
But no excuse! This is trading.
For those with shorts: stay in until 14:30 ;-)

Good trades!

If taken a short within the same time window...
yes - next time we will choose the right rule set
exit @ 14:30 10687 result 85 points. ***

We still can do it better.
Of course this is the start into a new year

Have a great weekend
and never look back

*** will not be counted in the journal

Hi @GFIs1,
Good job today! Question, what time frame do you use for IB?

Good Trades,
JohnS
