New - Aims Journal first 20 trades

[Rols]

Hi - my name is Rols and this is my first journal entry. I have made 17 trades in the past 2 weeks and my results are break even. Rather than trade demo I am trading 1 micro-lot which is risk of ab out .2% of account. Trading live even if small lets me feel the emotions attached to trading where demo less so. My DS score so far is 12/17.
So here goes - I have taken chart pictures and will download them as well. I have not labelled them clearly but will do so better in the future. I have the Aims indicators on a different platform as I use C trader live so there are often 2 charts per post.
Trade 1
Good entry on a sleeping gator - price eventually went up 8 more pips before reversing – then another good entry later in the night when I was asleep US session. It turned out to be my second best trade of 17 so far - 12 pips win. There are 2 charts - one on MT4 and one on Ctrader.

T 2: Stopped out after 5 pips profit - perhaps not the best entry but it was a blue dot and DS1.

As there is not a purple line indicator I have used a 40 smoothed moving average with a shift of 20 to correspond to the purple line. It is the light blue line. Instead of Aims oscillator I have used awesome oscillator.

T3: Reached 15 pips profit -reversed – have a pt at 25 pips – using purple line as trailing stop – exited demo early @ +9 pips – trailing sl live above aims box – price dived soon after – maybe bring sl to break even after 15 pips?

This was a classic setup 1 -

T4: loss of 14 pips - Zero discipline – forgot a previous order that triggered – I had the chance to escape with a few pips profit but watched it go all the way to the isl
Lost the chart shot

T5, 6 and 7: Trades 5,6,7 all on 13 Oct – managed these ok – the 7th I closed before it went negative – the first one had 6 pips before reversing – discipline scores good. Net pips score was +7

T9: Missed the entry and set a ss order but it executed setting it – my error – immed exit – then set a new order at the price I wanted but did not check the qty – it went in at the default 5 full contracts (have to change that) so that the order cancelled itself - DS 0

[Rols]

T10: 0 for DS because: I was just back from a bbq at lake with a few wines under the belt - -10 pips

[Rols]

T11: Initial entry fine and took add ons – total profit not great – there seems to be no follow through to the trends – pip gains are small – the whole move only lasted 15 pips - +8, +3, +1 and -4

T12 and 13: -8 Blue dot – isl;
T13: Took a sell - Red dot – took it – break of a ledge – again stopped out very quickly – 155 ema acted a support – stop run took me out then went up!
11,12 and 13 and 14bwere in the same trading time UK session – probably a corrective time and not the best time to trade unless I could catch a 5th push up
