26/Oct/2023 $593.00usd profit, started trading 8.30 and stopped at 10.02est
This day i added a new filter indicator called StepMA, as i was using momentum and it works great on sideways markets but not on trending markets i saw the need to use a trend filter and i think it will be very helpful on my daily trading for the grid. The idea is to enable the up grid direction or down grid direction based first on price action mostly at relevant price levels (left side of the chart) and considering volume divergences, considering momentum developing for the chart and the compound (as filter) watching when its extreme, flattening or developing and now with this new filter to go in the filters direction. Lets see how it performs over time (a month of trading with it).
Remember, the principal on all trading methods is price, and for this particular journal i use the CTTool010 Grid to help me when my decision is wrong, and i am getting really good results with it, more than if i was trading only 1 or 3 contracts with a stoploss and take profit levels, with the grid i can collect profit from the market.
Now, for this particular trading day.
Previous day i did not traded, but at night i watched the market was going strong to the down direction, then overnight we had a down swing then an up swing, scheduled news (Employment data release) so i must see what price action we have before, at and after the data release.
The price was developing up so i enabled the up grid direction.

Momentum was flat and going down, price started sideways in a small range so i paused the grid.
Price and momentum resumed to up direction so i enabled the grid.
Momentum started developing down, price up and the new filter in up direction so i was waiting for all stars alignment.
Momentum. price and filter flat and price crossing so i enabled the down grid direction.
Price went against my down grid direction but here the grid helped me to even make profit when iam wrong.
Price reacted at relevant price level POC of the full session and went to the down side collecting good profit and stopped trading for today with this grid tool.

Have a great day!
