20180627 – Trade 1
DS0 because the purple line is in the box. Also a DS0 because I closed the trade when I should have kept it open so I could open a second trade (trade 2 below) because the box was smaller.

12/20
20180627 – Trade 2
DS 0 because the M5 level was around the BE point.

Stats Batch 4

Overall DS 1 score: 15%

R: -2

Batch started 06/04/18. Batch finished 02/07/18 (approx. 3 months).

Disappointed with myself. I didn't realise that my DS score was going to be so low. It's been good to spend time reviewing the trades I've taken and realising how impulsive I am being.

Great to see dax trades in the journals! Browsed through images and comments in two parts:
- batch1: plenty of nice trades. Some tweaks here and there but overall it looked like a good batch. Clear w3 followed by small w4 and boom to w5. You had m5 chart included in the chart image and that's how it should be for m1 trades. It is important to know how m1 trade is located in m5 flow.
- batch2: you changed things Trading is a business of consistency, not changing things. M5 not shown in the chart snapshot and no idea of m5 flow. Difficult to analyze afterwards. Many early entries, maybe too much confidence due to earlied good batch. Chill out there. Not always clear AO cross and therefore no clear w4 (this leads to trading b traps more often).

Please continue with s1's and no fruits. No need for fruits, you were doing great in batch1. Just repeat s1's until the process comes from the spine. In that point you maybe don't even want to trade other than s1's

Overall I was very much pleased to see your trades. Keep it going, journal things and you will be very happy!

Hi Tomi,

Thank-you so much for reading my journal! I was really worried about putting those trades up. Thank you for taking the time to have a look and giving me some feedback.

For me, consistency is an issue. I’m not really sure what changed for me Tomi, I think more than anything I am scared of missing out. In front of the chart I have a real urge to take less than optimal trades because I fear missing out on a profitable trade (I can hear Immy saying it’s not about profit, it is about discipline, and of course he is correct). I want so much for it to work, I find it hard to chill out

Thank you for letting me know what you saw in the trades I took. I learn so much from the comments. I’ll try to make sure I’m only taking S1’s from now on (definitely no fruit!).

DAX M1 – Batch 5 - 1/20

20180709

DS0 because, again, fear of missing out - old habits stick around. Was waiting for the red dot, saw the box narrow, anticipated price going below the green line, but was too slow to place order to make the box break (which still would have been a DS0), so quickly placed po where I could (also was so rushed I didn’t have stop in the correct place above the AIMS box). So, pink dot and the rest, DS0.

Other comments. On M5 there was a range to the left that made me think that maybe price would bounce around a little here.

DAX M1 – Batch 5 - 2/20

20180709 – Trade 2

DS 0

Basically the same as above. Publically stating that, from now on, I will not take a trade unless there is a blue or red dot.
