Its kind of interesting, how my brain just blocks it.

Brains does this kind of nasty things. I have found out that the more relaxed you are and more calm your mind is, easier it is to think longs and shorts are a separate entities. Every bar in the chart is unique.

Nice NEO movement today. Screwed up campaign 352, because my SL was to close again. Greed and fear on the work again. Why put the Add On in if I am not willing to keep my SL where it is supposed to be! (Greed followed immediately by fear). With Campaign 353 I tried the Fruit short. Could have kept my SL a little closer as I was trading into wave 4, but it is always tradeoff. 354 was the breakout long that followed. A nice up move. Should have closed all positions for 40 Pips more instead of just the second Add On after that move. Except from not trading that last Fruit on my screenshot short I think I made all the right entries today. Trade management on the other hand was, as stated above poor in the first campaign.

Todays NEO was proof to me again, that the system would work perfectly if I would just follow it correctly. I made some profits and as far as I can see I made all the right entries, but my Trademanagement was very poor. Why cut those nice trades short? More confidence!!!!! Correct Trademmanagement would have tripled todays winnings, as it would have so many times before.

Hi Gregor,
your entries were very good but the exits are much more difficult to take properly, IMHO ;-)
I think that purple gator could have been the reason for exiting both campaigns very early. Price bounced from purple and then the exits were taken. For M1 Fruit trading I have turned off purple gator to prevent getting distracted by it. Just my personal opinion )

Cheers
Michael

I second that!

NEO on Monday I took the Breakout Short with one Add On. Didn't really work. The kind of missed the second Fruit down there which would have been some Pips for very low risk.

Camp 359: Breakout Short
Trade 1: Breakout Short - 9.6 Pips (RL)
Trade 2: Add On - 14.6 Pips (RL)

NEO on Tuesday, was was kind of disastrous, because my computer broke down in the middle of the trade so I had to switch to my iPad which really sucked. So I just closed the trades as good as possible.
Do some of you use VPS to run MT4 on there???

Wednesday's NEO slightly better than yesterday. Could not enter my trades with Easy Order because I am trading on a different computer and something still does not work properly.
Tried the Breakout Short which was entered as a market order a little to late. Then the Breakout Long made good for todays and yesterday's rents.

Do some of you use VPS to run MT4 on there?

Not for M1. The backup for computer crashes is iPad/iPhone. Personally I would just close the open trades or managed those to the end. Depending on position at that time. What ever you do, the trades have SL's, so nothing major hazard should not happen anyway.
