I have traded for a number of years without success. I have never had a journal but I hope this will make a difference. I trade only the 6e. I am sim trading now but hope to go live again soon. I am trying to trade in the style of thatmanfromtexas. I am using multiple EMAs to define the trend I am waiting for congestion and then trading the breakout. My stop is 20 ticks. I am trying to catch overnight runners. My exits are not well defined (yet). Below is an attachment of the moves I am trying to catch.
I trade from 8:00 PM EDT to 11:00 am next day. Congestion as defined by the yellow bars if at least 70% of bars are same value (as defined by EMAmulti in the data box) then the setup is active and I take the next breakout long or short.
My excel thread is "a work in progress" but here goes.
