just FYI, Adam's Apple is in direction of trend (inline with purple). In your first screenshot, you seems to have taken counter trend fruit opposite purple. AA will take you either in wave3 or wave5.

Regards,

Hello Sam,
thank you Sam for your effort reading and commenting my journal.
In this special case at screenshot #1, trade 1, in my opinion, this is Adam's Apple because fruit is between gator and purple and in direction of M5. Trade 2 & 3 are indeed counter trend fruits, trade 2, mistakenly, even without divergence.

Cheers,
Michael

Tue. Oct. 28, 2014

Screen time 9:00-11:00 (GMT+1) M1/M5 DAX only

Nice movement at begin of London session with very good opportunity to enter into a long trade after S1. The rest of session market went side ways without volatility, therefore every trade, except first one, ended in a rent:

Result:
+ 9 + 1 - 11 - 23 -1 = - 25 Pips. Tomorrow is another, better day ;-)

Screen time 9:00 - 11:00 and 14:00 - 16:30 (GMT+1) M1/M5 DAX only

Too much inaccurat trading. Caught some super high potential trades but screwed them with bad trade management. Entries could have been better as well.

Today's result:
-22-12+40-11= -5 Pips at LO
+18-20-21-17+17+9= -14 Pips at NYO

So overall -19 Pips instead of at least +130 Pips

Fri. Oct. 31, 2014

Screen time 8:00 - 10:30 (GMT+1) M1/M5 DAX only

FO started with a huge +150 Pips gap. After a while of sideway market price broke out to down side. Was rather sure it's going to try to fill the gap and waited for opportunities to go short.

Moty and Darren were big help for confidence that market is heading south and for finding proper exit (trailig AIMS, trailing candles, green gator and, at some occasions, fruits). Thanks guys ;-)

Today's result:
- 9 + 80 = + 71 Pips

Well done Well Done... Fruit is the answer. Once you get it you'll know its actually a lot more easier to trade fruit than even the easily laid out flow chart... and you seem to be on your way. Moty seems to have broken an inner barrier, rather he had a "transending" experience and now he's on his way. I wish us all have this "knowing" this "awakening" and we all excel in our trading . have a great weekend.

Tue. Nov. 4, 2014

Screen time 9:00 - 12:00 and 16:00 - 16:15 (GMT+1) M1/M5 DAX only

Today's result:
- 105 Pips at LO
+ 22 Pips in the afternoon trade

Overall - 83 pips from trading sideway market without volatility and sticking to one direction even when there are strong signals that price is reversing. Have to work on it. I really like the fruit trading style but I have to be much more focused and resolute of the SAR task.
