Stoch didn't cross yet the 20 line, but DMI did change direction. I tried to hard to find a trade, so entered against my roles, which cost me 100$ at the end of otherwise good week.
Need to learn staying on the line...

Less trades this week, but much better results:

ES:
trades: 6
winners: 5
Lossers: 1
PnL:+6P = 300$ before commissions (274.5$ net)

6E:
Trades: 2
Winners: 1
Lossers:1
PnL: 3 ticks = 37.5 before commissions (26.5$ net)

Much better than first 2 weeks, and if not the last trade, I would have covered the losses of the first 2 weeks.

Still, all is simulated trades only, but looks better.
