Entry Type: Fruit Bar Short on an incorrect entry.
Exit: Hit Trailing SL for all entries
Result: R1:R-1
Comments: There were 3 consecutive red lines, and it should have only been an entry when there were 3 green lines, as iMi explained later. The red lines (for the Short entry) already indicated a shift in momentum
Discipline Score: 0
Feeling optimistic and positive.

Also note how close is the low of the fruit bar to the gator line. its almost touching it. There is no stretch there. Fruit enry is reversal entry, but reversal of WHAT? there has to be a strong wave, only that can reverse, chop don't reverse. its just chop ...

Thanks iMi.
Definitely makes sense.

Comments: This signal was immediately before LO. I took it because I was ready to trade. Jasmien later informed me that we usually don't take any trades before the LO because of the unpredictability of the market at that time.

Entry Type: Gator was sleeping, AO was at saddle point, so I tried to bracket the AIMS Box. Sell PO triggered
Exit: hit SL for FE
Result: R.25:R-.25
Comments: Tried to put simultaneous Buy and Sell pending orders in, as the Gator was sleeping. I got the PO's entered, and the Gator opened to the downside. Sell PO was triggered so I deleted the Buy PO. Market immediately reversed and hit my stop.

Feeling positive. Optimistic about a new entry method.

Exit: hit SL for FE and FAO
Result: R.75:R-.75
Comments: If AO bars have a break in the sequence, then the AO addon is invalidated. It doesn't require 3 of the same colour to make change it like originally thought. Three in a row to signal an FAO PO entry, but only one subsequent to break the sequence and invalidate the PO.

Feeling optimistic before the trade, then decided to stop for the day, after nothing materialized.

Hi iMi. Yes, I have. I modified my original Trading Plan to show I am starting the Fruit method. It's posted here in my journal. I don't have any monetary targets set, just the targets for discipline.

Exit: Exited position when I took a reversal
Result: R.75:R-.25
Comments: Gator was sleeping, so set PO for entry on the break of the AIMS box below the level to the left. Entered a PO for a reversal at a Fruit Long, but subsequently deleted that when the price broke lower than the fruit bar. Then on second opportunity, the reversal was in.
