The last DAX short... W5 hit already TZ1 before your pending order. Usually I lost interest after that and wait for market to reveal something new and interesting. However, there it goes down now.... trading, gotta to love it still ;)

Now I don't want to mess this journal too much, but sometimes I use TZ2 as a target. This scenario is not that interesting on M15 due to lack of clear trend but contains some interesting elements and sometimes those will result to great RR.

The thing that makes me money in trading is when I "Objectively Follow my Trading Plan".

I understand that I can't catch all the moves or all the signals but my objective is to catch THE VALID SIGNALS & ONLY the Valid Signals.

Yes, one of those days. You get primed for getting out quick at the slightest sign of reversal. for days and then suddenly the market throws a day like this and you're behaving from past experience by the time you change the day is over. We are all AO's ourselves ...

Here is todays' report from FO till half an hr into LO

Trad 4

Wave Structure correct
Comments: Market Order Late Entry. I was away from screen. Felt like checking the chart. Saw it did Setup 1 up, which i missed (had finished at 10am did my 2 hrs work) Saw it moving got in at MO. quickly took whatever was available. But later I see I should have managed it differently.

I thought AO was too big and I had a previous TZ1 drawn. it had touched it. Later found it was a new 3 up so did not have to do that

Scored: DS 0 becasue 1. I did not enter correctly 2. I did not plan the trade correctly 3. I exited on market order (even though that was the ad hoc plan, i should not be doing this.) so I'm strugging with Discipline... T20 is a very important thing ...

Sell Dot but entry after PC confirmation.
I was not sure if its gonna break below. But then I noticed it had broken double aims and retested the box levels. I felt confident. Went in with MO. (remember for years I had banned myself from Market orders because it used to destroy my discipline.)

DS 1 For this one ...
