What is the Secret of Successful Trading?
The Consistent Pursuit of DS1 :nerd

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".

Updated my Journal on 8-30-2018
With approval of iMi and getting advice by Jasmien Going over to trade the M15 instead of the H1.
Will Mostly trade the Major pairs and on occasion some other pairs will watch the market and also observe what the other more experienced traders who trade the same Time Frame are trading.

Batch 1
Trade 9 - 20
Date 9-7-2018
Setup1 Short
USDCHF M15
Flowchart Check
Dot colour= Red
Alligator Sleeping = yes
Dot inside AIMS = yes
Purple Line correct = yes
AO close to ZL = yes
Exit close enough = yes
Is AIMS to Close = Yes AIMS was very small even former box was still small
Risk Reward 1:1
Trade hit SL

When i did see this setup i was thinking Nice W3 but AIMS is very small also it is just before the FO open.
But the other thought was a small box is also close to your TP so i did take it.
Note for self next time take a better look at it also box to small when there is no action in the market

Update: should not have taken this setup my first feeling was also telling me not to take it but i did because i want to trade and that is not good.
give my self a DS 0

DS:0
