Some good and bad decisions so far toda y

Unread post by immy »

USDCAD Long was iffy. It had hit TZ1 but I saw that TZ1 was hit before peak of 3. so there was still chance of it going up above peak of 3 and forming a new 5. It sort of did that, missed TP by a pip and closed BE

EUR/JPY It was by all rules and sights a Setup 1 ... but I talked myself out of it. Looked at correlations , blah de blah, the spike up YD was not good etc etc... now it feels like a wrong decision . Oh and it was a nice Seed on H4. Silly me ..

H1

Image
H4
Image


DAX M1 - LO started with a price move 3 min prior to LO and then as soon as LO hits it went all spikey. Nevertheless we had hunt signals because it had broken out and retraced... got in and out with BE

Image

End of Dax for this am. too sideways .

EUr/USD


it did not look like a good setup to me. One could have taken cherry but it was invalidated due to spike up that took the high of cherry signal candle. Plus i was going out to drop kids.

Image

Also H4 was going into Wave 4.


AUD/USD

Cherry signal was not taken, logic, that it did not move and hit my 2R for the Setup 1 short we took last night. Its no use getting into this market agin. good decsion.


Image

GBP/USD

Some skypers took this long trade I just don't understand why. But hey ho

Image

Updated 30 min later:

DAX M1

Was not watching it and it did the following. Watch how it broke the h1 level and bounced off the m15 level.. creating a Hunt Signal...

Smashing job done by Jozef... Well done :clap

The Story of DAX m1 Continues - 21 Nov 2017

Unread post by immy »

So it made a 3 up and then formed a setup 1...

The first setup looked enticing but at the same time I thought it was too early for it to go. But what if??? right? so i had to take it.

Image



But it did not go ... as expected...

A few candles later it formed another signal... again, was thinking too early but hey its a signal.. better than trading when M5 is going no where... today we know its going up ... so here we go again

T20 Dax B1T2 - S1 Quick Entry Quick Exit

Unread post by immy »

Image

Got in Market Order as I wnated to see the break

Moved SL quick to -3 and plus 3 moved to BE... I was wary of the bounce of the m5 level.

Image

Exit BE

~DS 1 (traded according to adhoc plan)

If it drops, that would mean my plan did not work. but i can be DS1 for following my plan.

Image

Updated: on second thought now... its a DS0 ... (I should not have applied this plan. it was incorrect choice. Best give me a 0 score so I don't repeat)

so T2 DS 0

Total DS 1/2 (50%)

I think i'm a bit rusty for the m1

Unread post by immy »

Starting this T20 made me realise its been a while since I traded m1 and feeling a bit rusty. Not fast enough and over thinking it. H1 gives me all day to think and analyse and I think that is the bad and good think about it. You can over analyse with all that time. Brining that mentality to m1 now I realise I 'm searching for more information ... I don't need that .. (notes to self)
