6th October 2015 - Learning Trade #2

Another Cherry, didn't take this cherry as the AO peak didn't seem to make a new high (although it looked like a nice ZZ retrace) but it was pretty much equal, so i guess the obvious question is, is an equal peak on AO just as tradeable.

The trade would have reached MicroTZ1 (about 3%) and beyond (still moving at time of writing)

1. You took a great trade, beautiful signal and well managed.
2. The next one, Don't complicate it! you thought at that time it was not a good signal. and you were wrong. We are only right some times.
That's it. NEXT

9th October - Live Trades:

Trade 1: Cherry (first down arrow) with new lower peak and between gator, on the downside it is pretty well into the wave 3 down - ended up a rent.

Trade 2: PC Cherry just after my initial rent (2nd down arrow), still between gator and within the same set of dark bars ass the initial trade, took as it was a PC but the same downside exists that it is well into the wave 3 down - ended up a rent

This week is now over for me with a positive result at last, only 6 trades in total for the week but each trade was taken with confidence which makes a change.

From this point on as well I will be using a hard 2:1 TP (Via ATM) plus the auto moving of SL to BE that ATM also provides - its amazing how much stress this has lifted from me not having to worry about when to close a trade.

Looking forward to next week now.

Excellent trading Billy and the decision about semi automatic trading is a golden one. I too am doing that for most trades but thinking about doing it 100% of the time so that I could just leave the chart once the trade is in. I did that today , got my 2% and did not trade after that All day as the market was not really responsive.

14th October: First trade of week

Trade Type: PC Cherry in my estimation, set the trade and walked away, came back and saw the big drop and thought, nice one, then realised my trade had lost as i had the SL Buffer setting in ATM set wrong ~x(

Not to worry, onwards and upwards as they say.

15th October:

Only 1 trade for me during LO session, a Cherry trade entered but then realised that it was invalid as it was diverging, so took the opportunity to exit at the first available SR level i had.
