My latest Spreadbetting strategy

[Maverick]

A ... A bot would have got in here ... maybe I should have ?

B --- I was dithering thinking it might be a dummy move

C --- Mistakenly put a SL on the previous short tail

D ... Something generally happens around this time ... hence the line to remind me

E ... bot would have missed this

F ... Looking at an alternative Red MA that would have kept the A trade alive

G --- 41.38 points is enough for me ... found something else to do for the rest of the day

Started with 38.14 and end of day was 43.05 = £4.91 profit OR a 12.8736% increase

Day 001 £36.87 > 002 43.05 = 16.7616% increase

Be ready for the bounce

A ... 20 points from where the MA's diverged at 06:55 (04:55 local)

B ... 20 points this bet (trade)

C ... For no apparant reason MT5 decided to close the bet (trade) I was no where near the keyboard ... As it turned out it was a good shout

D ... Waited for Stoch to break through before placinm my bet

E ... Where an EA would have terminated

F ... Stop hunters IMO

G ... Accidently stood on my "Close All"

H ... Only just remembered to put a bet on ... need to pay attention ... story of my trading life ... getting in too late

I ... Back at the round number 5000 so I got out

Started with 43.05 and end of day was 47.48 = 4.43 profit OR a 10.29% increase

I will take those 1:44 odds any day ... Thank you very much Gordon Brown

Day 001 £36.87 > 003 47.48 = 10.61 profit OR a 28.77% increase

 

[Maverick]

If I had really stretched it ... I could have got another 10 points ... wasn't as if I was desperate for points

 

[Maverick]

Not a good day BUT fortunately I was still able to make my 20 point target ... Think 100 / point

A ... Got sold a dummy ... I was waiting for the Stoch to recover ... Looked as if it would then changed its mind

Started with 47.48 and end of the day was 49.35 = 1.87 profit OR a 3.93% increase

Day 001 £36.87 > 004 49.35 = 12.48 profit OR a 33.85% increase

With a bit of luck, I will tip the scales and be betting with 20p bets on Monday

 

[Maverick]

If a Bot had got in at A and TP at B for 7.67 pts

Then Bot could have got in at C and TP at D for 20 pts

But alas it was left to me who had been trying all day to multi-task

Started with 49.35 and end of the day was 45.60 = -3.75 loss OR - 7.59% decrease

Day 001 £36.87 > 005 45.60 = 12.48 profit OR a 8.73% increase

Unfortunately, something came up and I wasn't able to post yesterday when I had hoped ... Here it is now

Came across an idea I thought I would try out ... Asian Box Breakout ... Place a Buy Stop at the High and a Sell Stop at the Low

 

[Maverick]

As luck would turn out it DID save me from a lot of grief even though there were no bets placed ... without the stop orders it would have been a losing day

 

[Maverick]

Another piece of luck ... the Sell Stop was still there next day and got triggered in the early hours

H'mmm ... Should I wait for the Stops to get taken out before moving them in the Asian session ?

 

[Maverick]

Good start to the day ... Got my 20 points in the Asian and London sessions

Price is on the fence so I am waiting

 

[Maverick]

Messy day but got there in the end



Started with 47.11 and end of the day was 50.11 = 3.00 profit OR 6.36% increase

Day 001 £36.87 > 008 50.11 = 13.24 profit OR a 35.91% increase

 

[Maverick]

Started with 50.11 and end of the day was 57.46 = 7.35 profit OR 14.66% increase

Day 001 £36.87 > 008 £57.46 = £20.59 profit OR a 55.85% increase

Finally had enough Free Margin to be able to add a second 0.10 bet

Tomorrow I will be able to start the day with a 0.20 bet

 

[Maverick]

Could have been worse ... Could have been better



Started with 57.46 and end of the day was 56.75 = 0.71 loss OR -1.24% decrease

Day 001 £36.87 > 010 56.75 = 19.88 profit OR a 53.92% increase

A ... Overcautious

B ... SL too tight

C ... Too much fighting

D ... Got out whilst ahead

E .. Waited for London to close

F ... Missed my chances

[Maverick]

If only the cross hadn't been at 05:20 (local) in the morning

London Open I thought shall or shan't I ... Decided to just watch

Ended just breaking even

 

[Maverick]

Started with £54.32 and end of the day was £60.57 = £6.25 profit OR 11.50% increase

Day 001 £36.87 > 014 £60.57 = £23.70 profit OR a 64.27% increase

For a short month (14 days) that was a good result IMO

 

[Maverick]

Apologies ... on closer examination the Percentage column was wrong

[Maverick]

What a disaster

1. Was away from my computer
2. Had in my wisdom taken down the close all at the end of the trading day

Just hope I learned from the day

Started with £67.02 and end of the day was £64.76 = £2.26 Loss OR 3.37% decrease

Day 001 £36.87 > 016 £64.76 = £27.89 profit OR a 74.64% increase
