Quick question, apologies if i've asked already. Is this is your usual zoom level when you trade or do you zoom out for pics? thanks

Hi Immy,

As I am trading from my laptop at the moment I kind of switch between this zoom level (147 bars on my laptop) and and the next zoomed in level like on the 26th of June (72 bars on may laptop). But the zoomed in level does not give me a good overall picture. So I often zoom out to see where the price might hit a barrier or what the wave structure is. At home I always traded on the zoomed in level but on a way bigger screen.
I guess you are going to tell me now to stick to the zoomed in chart and not to switch around!?

Cheers,

Tracker

I closed the month of June with 486 Pips, but at 0.2% risk per trade that amounted to just 3.61% account growth. I might have to start cranking that up a little. Either add on more aggressively or raise the risk per trade.

I won 40% of the campaigns and lost 60%.
Biggest losing campaign was - 0.56% (lost 82 Pips here; that is not going to happen again)
Biggest winning campaign was + 1.09%

Nice nice nice! I think it's not "amounted to just" but it's fantastic. But hey, you decide that You are doing good, keep going!

Gregor,
with 3,6% monthly growth and monthly compounding, you can double your account in not even 20 months with a tiny risk of only 0,2% per trade. The confidence will rise if you proceed with your steady success, even if the success seems small. It isn't small at all!!!

Wednesday's NEO had a nice Fruit Long at the start, took it and added on twice but the market didn't breakout to the upside instantly so I moved my SL to close again and got kicked out before that nice move. Especially right near the open time I should wait with my add on if I am not willing to accept the full risk taken and leave my SL where it is supposed to be. Tried the Fruit short then at the top of wave three and instead of trying the next one, too I SARd the Fruit and went long at the worst possible point. So I missed part of the down move. Tried the AA Fruit long and SARd it, which got me into the down move for some nice Pips that covered the rents and left some profit. Could have been two perfect trades, but I screwed it up.

Thursday's NEO was a rent session form me. Camp 431 should have been trailed after the second attempt to breakout to the long side had failed. Camp 432 was not a good signal, should have waited for the AO to cross the zero line. The latest point to close camp 433 should have been when it crossed the green line. Even better would have been to trail the candles as we had reached TZ 2 and at that point I should have assumed that we had also reached the end of wave 5. Camp 435 was the only good campaign, but the market didn't move far enough to make good for the losses. So I lost 0.5 % today.

Yes, SAR is good, but if you see a wave is topping out... (wave 3 as you rightly put) then potential for profits is low, i.e.e probability of higher reward is lower. its usually good when price is relatively closer to gator, and/or eWave is not peaking...

So I lost 0.5 % today.

YOU did not lose. The result of your trading was negative 0.5% (which is nothing) and part of the big picture... part of hte big wave of your trades....

In Friday's NEO I repeated some mistakes from Thursday. SARd again, this time at the bottom of a Wave 3. Tried a few AA Fruits but the market kept going up. I got in the stage of: I don't want to miss the down move now, again. Unfortunately when the down move finally came there was no Fruit. So I got in at the Breakout with one Add On and recovered some of the rents payed earlier. Not a very good job today.

Trade 1: Fruit Long - 17.0 Pips (0.6)
