Trade #8
Gold
Not thrilled about this one. Market had made a new daily high but then made a pretty strong pullback. so at the time i entered there really wasn't good strong momentum. Entry and exit were good, but giving myself a DS0 on the analysis part.
Result: BE (US -3.68
DS0

Trade #9
Gold
This was an S1 to me. But the pivot low that I put my PO under had a Div with the previous low. Although I didn't mention it in my TP at the outset, I'm not supposed to be taking any Monarch/S1s that aren't accompanied by new momentum highs/lows. So DS0 here
Result: +4 ticks +US $36.32
DS0

Trade #10
emini S&P
S1. This one I actually liked. Market made a new high at 08:49 consolidated. AO crossed below 0 but with no momentum. Went long on the cross back above 0 line and break of fractal. However...I don't know how the heck I didn't have my PT set correctly so I only netted half what I should have. So DS0
Result: hit PT (but had wrong PT programmed in!) +3 ticks +US $36.32

Trade #11
Nasdaq Stock Index
This was pre US stock market open, which i dont usually trade with the US indices. However market made a new momentum low....consolidated for a long time, and then sent short on the new low. I'm also watching these things on the 1 min charts on MT4 with all the aims indicators, but am trading the ticks charts on my platform. I'm giving myself a DS1, but if Immy or anyone wants to challenge that....I can't argue!
Result: HIt PT +10 ticks US + $46.32
DS1

These candles remind me of renko charts. Gosh I hate those days... the idea was great but the execution was a total disaster. Volatility goes up and all of a sudden the thing prints hundreds of candles within seconds... but this might not be like that....

You seem to be going pretty good. I don't know if I could handle this pressure myself but bravo to you... (wd)

The more effective way of counting DS1 for you would be to count each day as a DS1 or DS0. The way to count would be to check if you following your trading plan for the day. e.g. have you following your Risk Plan for each trade and the Day. e.g. if you have a maximum number of trades limit lets say 5 max, have you made that 6th trade or not? and also you'd count the DS1 or 0 for all trades and see if you have scored at least 80% then dS1 for the day. This way in 20 working days you'd know if you were disciplined.

Trade #15
Dow Stock Index
I have no fricking idea what I was doing here. This was 5 days ago and I think I just went brain dead. Purple on wrong side. It WAS following a seed bar, but that's hardly a setup or reason for taking this trade. Probably deserves a DS-10 but DS0 is the lowest score
Result: +1 tick +US 1.32
DS0
