Peter's New Journal

Unread post by exponent83 »

Dear Guys,

I started my new journal, and my first T20. I'll trade the M5 Seed/M1 S1-S2 formation. I don't have active ATM now, but I'm going to activate it in February.
My exit rules are: BE at 1:1, Exit with 2R TP.

See you on Skype, bye

Conclusions of Batch No.1:

Weaknesses:
- I can't follow my basic plan.
- I'm trading after trading hours, but it is not really a problem, because usually market moved good at that time. So I added DS1 for those trades.
- Friday has usually low volatility. So I have to no trade, only if there is clear structure and extreme big volatility.
- I open trades rashly, after a big winner trade. Better to say: OK, thanks Market, this is enough for today.

Strengths:
- I can cut my losses easily.
- I can sit down to trading after a day with full losses.
- I can see the push-pull situations.
- Usually I can see the context between M5 and M1.
- I started to trade complex, using S/R levels, and Target Zones.

Peter

thank you for recording your trading activity and having the courage to share everything... I commend you ...

You've finalised the T20 batch with a conclusion post that makes it even better...

It is "trials" and "experiments " like these that make us better traders and people in life...

Well done...

The biggest reason I discourage people from trading m1 is this very image you've posted. Let this be a lesson to you, me and the rest of us.

This image says it all

Stuck market is a nasty companion. That's why I cook or play video games so much, to make anything else but not trade. Here's a snippet from my trading plan, it's a good and humble remainder for all of us. Trading plan contains just one bold sentence, it's so important. Keep it going, we all learn all the time :thumbs
