Entry Type: Setup 1
Exit: Hit original SL at Interest rate announcement
Result: R1:R-1
Comments: Gator Closed (interwined), AO close to ZL, and Purple away from trade direction and close to the AIMS Box. Messed up by not protecting my gains before CAD interest rate announcement. I should have been more aware of the news. Still a DS1, as I don't have that in my plan, but will learn from this to check news more regularly.

Feeling optimistic. First daily trade.

1. Not a setup 1 (green dot but that's ok lets consider its sleeping gator and blue dot, still not a setup 1. ) but hmmm even that's ok so.. but not really the IDAEL setup 1 where you see a clear 3 a nice wave 4... this is all wonky... don't know how to explain.
2. Exit is based on Box, Green line close or combination of it. SL at 1R, move to BE at plus 1R, exit at 2R or TP at TZ1. (stage 1) anything done other than that, DS0. No need to save position on news on D1 chart.

The Consistent Pursuit of DS1
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.
