It's nearly 11 pm here, so I can almost guarantee that there won't be anymore trades this month. So in 3 weeks of trading H1 hunt (10th till 31st May), I managed to get +6R profit (possible +11R with better management) for an average of +2R profit per week (or possible +3.7R/week). Very pleased with the results so far. Of course I prefer 10000R per day but this is better than I expected. Looking forward to next month/tomorrow.

Trade 1

Pair: EURJPY
Entry: SEED
Exit: 2R
Result: 2R (0.2%)
Disciplinary Score : DS 1
Comments: Saw the signal before going to work, but the seed was actually more than an hour old (another candle already formed after the seed). However, current price at the time I was in front of the chart was above the low of the candle, so I managed to place a PO based on the seed signal.

The Consistent Pursuit of DS1 :nerd

The thing that makes me money in trading is when I "Objectively Follow my Trading Plan".

I understand that I can't catch all the moves or all the signals but my objective is to catch THE VALID SIGNALS & ONLY the Valid Signals.

Thank you Immy, will do. Probably just going to tweak some stuff for improved trade management such as using a vps or something.

So I've finished my first T20, and I'm quite pleased with my discipline here, but there are still room to improve. I did a total of 21 trades and was planning to include that 21st trade with the next batch of T20, however, since I'm going to change the money management strategy a little bit, I will just group it with this first batch.

DS for T21: 19/21

Total Profit: 7R

Hey all, I apologise for the lack of updates. Due to a combination of being very busy at the moment (80+ hours work weeks), lack of good signals when I'm in front of the screen, spikes and uncertainties due to Brexit and of course Euro 2016, I haven't taken any trades yet in the past few weeks, but I still review the charts and skype chats every day.

I still think H1 Hunt is for me so I will be sticking with it but going to change some details of the plan a little bit. I will be using Hunt on a classic template with purple filter instead of using channel. I will also only take the best signals by changing the ATR settings on Seed and Cherry indicators to 1.5

I also feel like I'm ready to learn to let the trades run, so I will change my trade management plan to as follows: 2 orders (each 0.5%) will be made for each valid signal: the first will have a TP at 1:1 and the other at 15:1 and trailing boxes.
