What I did differently today. This will be a thread. Still at pub so bear with me whilst I type this shit up. Best I do it whilst it’s fresh in my head! Part 1 of... your guess is as good as mine extra cookies for correct answer. Lol. Right to it...

Sooooo, as you already know, initial entry is 1 lot off 1m. I then move down to 15s/5s to add-on.

Today I used 200T chart (no indicators) and had ATM set to 10 contracts.

When I could ‘feel’ price being driven up, I put a 10 lot on and moved stop to BE+2T. I like tick charts for this. Very easy to feel/see momentum because you get a shit load of bars that print very quickly.

Timing (as always!) was everything. The beauty of trading this way today is that because I was getting in at point where prices were being driven higher (by feeling for it), I had 20-40 ticks on side by the time my (market) orders got filled. So moving stop to BE+2T was doable.

Also most importantly, trade had room to work. As always with add-ons, when timing right, the trades generally work out. When timing is off, I get taken out at BE (with volatility) and bastard runs off without me.

I realise I’m mostly stating the obvious here but this is reminder to myself too. I lost money yesterday because I was too aggressive and my timing was shocking. I worked really hard on that today.

When prices drove higher again, rinse and repeat! As before, targets always set level or potential resistance level.

I didn’t always add-on a 10 lot in one go. If move was a bit more sluggish (but was still moving) I sometimes would just add a few 1 lots on. My add-ons aren’t automated. I read the bars and add-on what I feel I can get away with, whilst giving the trade room to breath.

Anyhow, that’s about the best way I can describe it! end of thread! Glad I didn’t guess how many tweets, I so would have got that wrong
