US500 weekly recap: 6 ideas, 2 targets hit, +2.95R by the bookSpot US 500SWISSQUOTE:US500MeliusCrasThree sessions, six public ideas on the US500 1h chart, one rule set. Here is how each idea did against its own published plan, counted whether or not anyone traded it. Wednesday, Nov 11 Long above 7,582: triggered, ran to the 7,625 target. Win, +1.95R. Short below 7,548: never active. The long triggered first and the two sides cancel each other. Thursday, Nov 12 Short below 7,568: triggered on the claims flush, low printed 7,550.13, an eighth of a point short of the level where the stop moves to entry. Price then reversed through the 7,590 stop. By the book: loss, minus 1R. Taken early at 7,553 it was a small win, but the scorecard counts the plan, not the exit. Long above 7,608: cancelled by the short. It would have filled, then stopped at 7,586 before the rally to 7,652. Friday, Nov 13 Short below 7,547: triggered after PPI, hit the 7,503 target in under twenty minutes. Win, +2.0R. Long above 7,655: never triggered. The 7,648 to 7,652 double top held. Scorecard, by the book Ideas published: 6 Triggered: 3 (50%) Hit target: 2 of 3, a 67% win rate Stopped: 1 of 3, a 33% loss rate Net: +2.95R, about +1R per triggered idea Trades actually taken this week, including Monday and Tuesday before these ideas went public: 6 taken, 6 closed green, +5.75R, account up 16.9% on the week at a fixed 2.33% risk per trade. What the week taught Breakouts from the overnight range paid when they came with a catalyst behind them, PPI on Friday being the cleanest. The one loss came from a stop management level missed by a fraction, which is a reason to keep the rules exact and score them honestly. The two sides cancel each other on purpose, and that saved the second loss on Thursday. Next week starts the same way: overnight range, prior day high and low, two triggers, one trade.
