Result: BE
Disciplinary Score : DS 0
Pre-trade comments: Valid setup according to plan.
Post-trade comments:

1. First time using VPS, and took this trade on the phone so I should've checked the BE and TP settings properly. I forgot to turn off SL to BE so both orders triggered BE.
2. Forgot to check for news today, so DS = 0

That for me is not a good cherry signal. Its inside the box, the range of the bar/candle is quite high quite biigger than the ones to hte left, there are levels to the left, (bow low nad bar lows) that are close. price has had a strong move down, and was wanting to recover from it. I'd rather wait after a strong price action and let it come back to ZL, and perhaps catch something in the next wave.

a littel tip..

you're recording everythign pretty nicely. Just a little tip. If you record trade number in such fashion would help you and the reader.

Trade T1-10 (meaning 10th trade of the first batch of T20)
And end each post by Total scoare such as TDS: (total discipline score) T1-9/10 (that is first batch of T20, 9 DS1 out of 10 trades)

Hope this helps.
