Brett's Journal - SETUP 1 - 1HR

[swerver]

Trade 13 - UC - 15m

Took S2 on 15m as the candle broke the left AIMS box
perfect sleeping gator
Purple is right side
AO crossed on time with W4 signal

Closed at BE - 1.5 max RR if managed
ROI 0%

**If we took this on the 5 minute signal we would have achieved 2-1 RR
No rent so all not all bad

the only problem with taking it at m5 is that usually your plan should say, you trade x time frame. and the moment you deviate from that plan you earn yourself a nice stinky DS0

ahem: Bretts Journal Setup 1 1HR..... 1HR :-B

[swerver]

Yup fair enough, scratched

Hey but I must add something here... you're not a beginner and I'm sure you know what you're doing. So those reading , those in stage 1, it should be done in a strict manner. Setup 1 H1 or Setup 1 H4 or if you so insist setup 1 M15 ... Brett's been trading for a while and already has established a winning method and habits.

Fully understand, I am a little distracted with TF when i dont find any setups, and scroll scroll**
However I am bound to get shiz wrong too, so will stick with the 1HR, but its all about the setup for me here

OK time to finish this T20, I want to add cherry
I was stupid to add it while doing the S1's and now I keep looking at it, so its removed again!
A few more trades to go, lets finish this up.

AUDUSD - This looked good to me (although had double topped) but can always retest right?

S1 signal on 1HR
Gator openish on 1HR and sleeping on 15
purp good
Took on 15 minute

News hit and down she went (Should a ZLX be needed here?)

T15 + 16

UCAD - 1HR

2 attempts here
Not much movement during the London open
S1 on the 1HR take on S1 on 15
Stopped out due to SL to tight.

Second attempt before US session opened, the setup was still good, just wrong entry/positioning
S1 dot, took this on the 1HR, new box made this tighter so acceptable RR

BE was set at 1-1 and went to bed and let ATM take over.
Missed 2-1 by a few pips

T17 - GBPUSD

Closed bar after a neutral candle (doji)

T18 GBPUSD

S1

Adding this for prosperity, setup was good
Really liked this trade but a nice bearish candle made me cancel the order.
One of those trades you wish were weren't around to cancel the PO as it went on to see many R's

Cancelled
R0

T19 UCAD

S1 on 15,
1HR for reference after what looks like the famous setup., rubber band on candle left some indecision the day before
retrace however was perfect 382 and mimicked last down structure, good enough for me to enter after considering risk.

ROI 6% - went on to 150 pips or something crazy while sleeping
