Hey Vicky, just a small comment if I may. It's easier for everyone if you mark the levels (like the level when you moved SL to BE and maybe initial SL level) to the chart. Actual numbers are not that relevant. In the chart values have more meaning as it's all visual and proportional. Also please zoom out the charts a bit to get bigger picture of the market. Keep going.

Hi Tomi
Thank you for your comments and taking the time to view my journal.
My charts are a work in progress, Immy mentioned they were too small, and I have to still get my IT guy (hubby) onto Steve's link re sizing!
Marking the level sounds like a great idea, I shall have a look at this, I am guessing there is a tool in MT4 charts to do this.
Appreciate your help.
Vicky

Keep going, you're picking the 3 & 4 and going into 5's, make sure box is always nice and tight, the tighter the box the better of course as it will go BE quicker :-)

Batch 1

Trade 15

EURAUD H4 Long

DS0 on review I think the gator lines are a bit spread out, others that have done better are closer together. I also added 2 pips, but I see the open was a bit close to the top of the box, if I had it further away this one would not have filled.

I have just purchased ATM so hopefully this will help going forward!

Thanks Jasmien, I will as soon as I can sort Pepperstone! My computer did any update last night, needing to restart and now when I log in it said invalid account! I have emailed my contact there to see what is happening. I have no history, and the other couple I had placed ready to see if they fill are not there either.
Technology, great when it works!
Back hopefullu shortly.
