12184735 2018.06.13 12:49:50 buy 1.00 gdaxi 12866.11 12859.85 0.00 2018.06.13 13:18:05 12859.85 -1.00 0.00 0.00 -9.59
Entry Type: Setup 1
Exit: Hit SL
Result: R1:R-1
Comments: It looked like the levels to the left were too close, so I took the next higher box level as my entry. Price didn't reach 1:1, so my SL was at original entry until a new box level was formed. W5 came to an end and hit my SL

Entry Type: Setup 1
Exit: Hit SL
Result: R1:R-1
Comments: Not a very good entry point, looking at it now. was not a very well defined wave before the entry, event though the Gator was sleeping, the 5XHTF gator was open and purple line correct. Should have waited for a better entry.
Discipline Score: 0
hopeful and maybe a little impatient, as everyone else trading other strategies was doing well today and making quite a few trades.

Re: Kevin's Journal
yes, the 1RSL-1RBE-2RTP plan works best on S1 and Hunt entries...
In stage 2 you can experiement with Grant TM
SL 13, Move to -4 at Plus 5 exit slightly discretionary around 12-15 pips depending on how the market moves...

What is the Secret of Successful Trading?
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.
My Deathbed Advice "5:1 Reward to Risk Ratio".
Yo, banana boy!
