I expect Mr Market will rotate either Up or Down to extend the daily range. It's trading within yesterday's VA so far.
Have a Successful day.

The highlighted Long met the entry requirement (Method 1), ie
1. EMA(20) blue Up trend
2. EMA(5) black up at least 2 bars
3. Set up bar (in ellipse) Low touching EMA(5) black
4. Set up bar High > EMA(20) blue
5. FI Green
6. ADX Green and above 25
Instead of placing a Buy Stop 1 tick above the HH of the past 5 bars (incl Set up bar) which should be 1120.50, I waited until it broke 1120.75 (High of this morning). It did and I got in at 1120.50. I also adjusted 6-tick SL to 7 ticks @1118.75 (noticed support @1119.00). Took some heat and thought I adjusted PTs from 4/8 to 2/6 (tightened PT by 2 ticks). It's a surprise that both contracts were closed when PT 2 was hit. Well, I will read the BT manual to better understand how it works.
Note: It did hit the revised second PT 6 if I programmed my strategy right.
4 ticks for the first sim 2-contract trade using the revised set up. Done with the morning session and will be back EOD for the afternoon recap.
Why are you waiting so long to get into a trade, you are getting in at the END of the trend and should be getting in at the beginning which was around the 1115 - 1117 mark.
For my learning purpose, I would like to document Perry's "Do Not Trade" suggestion. You will see the ADX/DMI indicator on Panel 4. I do not have it on my chart because I did not know how to benefit from it. Having read Perry's thread again over the weekend, I have a better idea (not 100% until now).
With Perry's today note, I "finally" can see how I may safeguard late entry and CHOP. Please note the following:
1. ADX = thick green/orange line
2. +DI = thin green line
3. -DI = thin red line
4. When ADX thick green line is above both +DI/-DI lines, we maybe close to the end of the existing Trend. Better SOH and wait for a better opportunity as Perry suggested. I agree 1,000,000,..% now that I understand.
5. When ADX thick orange line is below both +DI/-DI lines, we are in a choppy zone. Again SOH.
Now my challenge: Should I add this useful indicator to my chart? Or replace MACDBB with the same? Or stay as-is!
Trade and use what is good for you. I have given this forum a whole lot of tools with a lot of explanations what each one can and cannot do, so use what you feel works for you. My only suggestions is cut down on indicators and make trading easy.
