I do have a few tweaks I plan to add , in regards to MM, but for now its working well enough to qualify as worthwhile . The 1/1 risk all or nothing profit capture is somewhat crude but forces one to let the trades unfold and Ive gained a lot of dicipline practicing this day after day .bias that produces overall . But for this thread Ill stick to the one method only .

4 winners 0 losers today +98 pips . I closed out trades 3 and 4 at 1200 EST . The choppy sloppy 75 pip range price action made money today .

Observation -
Overall the greatest opportunites Ive seen whether the day turns out to be choppy or heavily trending begin when price starts making new highs or new lows . Sounds textbook when I say this but its true day after day . Focussing on trend following can blur these simple opportunities . If you think about it price needs to start somewhere and where it starts is up to you , it could be any time of day but its more powerpacked when its around London,Tokyo or NY open (for FX anyway) . Kinda like the "line in the sand SR level" only its a vertical line Hmmmmm food for thought .
Have a nice peaceful weekend all see ya monday .

In terms of probability, maybe yes.
But the trend channel will end at one point and the descending triangle can easily
breakout to the downside.
Causality is the relationship between an event (the cause) and a second event (the effect), where the second event is a consequence of the first.
