B-)

Grant! I think this was one that I may or may not have taken depending on how I felt about it. As you know I am not in my trading room so all I had was a quick look and thought AO was old, but honestly at the back of my head I knew somehow if it does eventually break out long, that it would probably bounce around the m5 aims level to the left. thats what it did! I had one trade today, lucky me, hit over 2% so I decided not to trade at all!

Hi Immy, Grant

Thanks for the input, one of the great things about trading is that we can see different things.

second trade today, took the break of outer 1 min level, tgt was 5 min low some 12 pips away, price bounced off the 5 min purple so moved stop to b/e

Worth a try!

Cheers

Mike

First trade of the day -10pips a full hit.

Entry after new aims level formed at the same level as 5 min initially targeting the 15 min high.

Big rent payment.

Any suggestions?

Mike

I had a PO at virtually the same level as everything looked okay, however, as things developed the AO increased and I became uncertain so I cancelled it.

I think this is called the learning curve. I for one am learning as much from these Journals as I am from actually trading.
