-26 +24 +24 ==> +22 on CLinside bar right in front of news. I though "ah, that would have been a winner" as it shot up after news but, oh well, it was following my rules. But then once it came out of news, and was above the IB from 30mins ago it went long, an unintended trade as I didn't want it to take IB breakouts more than 1 bar after the IB. This time though the gaffe was profitable as it turned out to be a nice winner. It took another short trade in the afternoon for a winner.

-26 +24 +24 ==> +22 on CL
-5 on 6E
On 6E it went long about 1+hr after the London open but then 2am hit and the strat closes all positions after trading time ends (I only trade the first 2hrs) so it closed out the position for a 5 tick loss. Good thing as the market roared down after that for what would have been a full stop loss. This prompts me to look into time stops more.
On CL took the first IB and it didn't go far enough. Then came news, and we got an
inside bar right in front of news. I though "ah, that would have been a winner" as it shot up after news but, oh well, it was following my rules. But then once it came out of news, and was above the IB from 30mins ago it went long, an unintended trade as I didn't want it to take IB
breakouts more than 1 bar after the IB. This time though the gaffe was profitable as it turned out to be a nice winner. It took another short trade in the afternoon for a winner.
I'll post charts later...
