After Testing many different ways to try and trade this I have moved out to the 1 hour charts for more of a longer term scalp. I have began to shoot for much greater R:R Ratios, preferably 3:1 or larger. I am also looking to only trade when the conditions are perfect. My current Entry Rules are set up so I should only enter the market once the perfect set ups form. That being said it does take longer for a set up to form but I believe the quality of the set ups out weighs the quantity of them. As long as I can practice Patience, Focus, and Discipline I will be taking only the best trades. I am still using the same money management principal and I am attaching a trade explorer to this thread to track my growth a little better and to see my trade results in real time.
Please feel free to comment, ask questions and Discuss the strategy. That being said please don't try and add 100 indicators to it. KEEP IT SIMPLE.
PLEASE NOTE THIS STRATEGY IS IN DEVELOPMENT...THIS IS WHY I HAVE POSTED IN THE JOURNAL SECTION.
I WILL BE TESTING/DEVELOPING THIS STRATEGY ON A LIVE ACCOUNT & I WILL BE POSTING RESULTS AS THEY COME IN VIA TRADE EXPLORER AND THIS JOURNAL
