I was happy to see this setup1 yesterday as I can now say this is my first setup1 to start the new year with.

This stage 1 S1 on H1 is surely testing my patience. But of course it is a good thing, as patience and discipline are an absolute must to make me a successful trader.

The small green bars on W4 are acceptable to me as they are part of my Trading Plan and rules..

This week is being kind to me LOL (my second trade)

I know it is an exotic, but for S1 purposes I am watching them too.

I just instantly smile when I see your picture... beautiful sunshine and an equally beautiful sunshine smile...

[terence]

Ha ha, that is rather a chubby smile I have there. Not always the case though.

This trade completes my first T20. I have taken a week to post it as I have been in a bit of a dillema as to what to do next.
This T20 has taken 5 months to complete which, for me is just too long.

In lieu of what I said above and also what Immy said recently abouy doing our batches on M5, or M1, I have decided to trade the m5 Fruit.
I have been following in the chat and I think I could enjoy trading them. I have not quite finished all the reading up there is to do, but will finish shortly.
Immy I do hope you are in agreement. We never know unless we try and really its just getting the discipline sorted...not so easy I know .

Cheers
