First, I called my day trading method "iceberg" to show respect to my personal idol who encourages me all the time. "iceberg" is her name translated name in English.
Several months ago I started a journal called "more than entries" in futures.io (formerly BMT), then I fund the weakness of S&R scalping:
1) I can not hold the big trend, and usually need to re-entry on the pullback that result in a lower RR
2) the breakout of S&R line failed too many times. Once the breakout is real, however, I only scalping 10 cents/ticks for my stock index
Thus, I refresh the ideas of my trading style. I wanna higher RR more than the winning ratio (due to the commisions paid), I wanna the big fish:big_boss:, so I will only trade the "start" of a new trend. It can be a) the reversal of an old trade, or b) the break out of price constraint. Then I backtested and demo traded some patterns to re-build my trading methods in July. Then start live trading again from Aug.
Here's my performance b/w Aug to the end of Sep. The P&L can be much better if I follow my trading rules strictly. Its the biggest problem im facing so far.
