Hi Simba, my old friend, and thanks for posting
It's great to hear from you again!
Thanks for the recommendations. I will explain everything and if I'm not in a hurry, I will post charts. But there's not going to be much of explaining because my point is to try out a simple, or even stupid, approach. I just see what the trend is, where the highs and lows are going and look for pin bars or simple pullbacks. I do this on daily charts, and then I try to enter on hourly chart on a S/R. With the exception of pin bars - those I play on breakout.
As far as the hindsight -- of course, I know that they should be as much limited as possible. There's a big difference in interpreting the past and the presence. However, over the months I've excercised the ability to interpret to what extent I'm able to see the patterns in real time. If the trade falls within this extent, I do it in hindsight. If not, I take the worse option.
Secondly, I'm not simulating my future trading, I'm just experimenting. I want to see how the system works, not how I work. I.e. I'm just gathering statistics. After some time, I will make improvements according to what I can see doesn't work and also according to better ability to perceive the Forex markets (that I haven't seen in a year) which esentially comes with time. This way I will arrive at a system. Next step is to learn how to trade it consistently. This way of separation between where the problem lies - whether it is in the system or in my head - has worked for me in the e-minis (so far).
If you want me to show some YM trades, I can certainly do it. But I will only show a few just as an example -- this is a Forex forum, not e-mini forum.
