So true immy. Half a day is plenty enough. Less is better. To put things in some kind of perspective I'm sitting here in England today. Son is in Italy. Drove down with a mate. They were swimming yesterday in sea I would not choose. Anyway the other guy who is actually quite a strong swimmer got into difficulties and started to drown. My son has lifeguard training and managed to get him out of the water and do cpr etc until ambulance arrived. Anyway he kinda revived but is in hospital. I haven't had an update for 12 hours. Makes a lot of other endeavours in life seem trivial. Not even dad or cable or fiber matter. And what could we do better than save another life ?

Update sunday night. From friend. "Your son literally saved my life I would have been a gonner. Most grateful. In intensive care 18 hours all wired up, needles and pipes everywhere....."

Drama in real life!

Dax. 75 pips on the news in less than 15mins. I had set a TP and didn't reset it, no doubt the thing will go up a bit more now haha

Anyway the shooting star (or would you call it fruit) was right with regard to what the market did for the first two or three hours.

After Monday's shooting start on the D1 candle we now have a break of H4 aims, and the H4 AO has gone under ZL as well. (Using 24 hr broker chart)

Nice for shorts this morning after initial rise.

A bottle of champagne has just been delivered out of the blue

Card inside says it is from one of my brokers and "best enjoyed cold after a winning trade"

A 2 hour wait this afternoon for 45 pips

Rationale for entry was mainly cross of AO and cross of 6 and 50EMAs, and reason for exit was to say that by about 5pm it was time to think of a reason to pull out - breach of a fractal on M1.

A fair amount of ranging today in my system but overall an acceptable return

Thursday morning
One trade bad, immediately reversed making then making another trade which was very good :)

I saw Immy say the other day he can't do well trading more than one m1 chart at a time. I would agree with him. In order to trade m1 you have to be quick and you have to be adaptable.

'I saw Immy say the other day he can't do well trading more than one m1 chart at a time.'

so very true! trading requires total concentration. I trade H4 and still manage to get flustered
keeping track of multiple open trades.

Good to see you back from your trip, and congratulations on your bottle of bubbly from your
broker - that is such an accolade! must do a lot for all important self confidence
Stop searching for the Holy Grail, you've already found it -
It's in your mind!
