Re: Vicky's Journals
Note to self ....
Half way of batch 6. At 0R.
There has been some claw back of the last batches losses but still a way to go.
More discipline Vicky, we need a strong second half!

Batch 6
Trade 11
Nzd/Usd H4 Long
S1, Good start, then slow and steady. Was aiming for the TZ1 line, which it didn't make.
Exit taken at 1R as per Immy call out. For future refernce would the dark bars going down quickly (ie not smoothly) be an indication to exit?
End result was +1R
R result to date for this batch: +1R
DS score for batch: 7/11
Overall total R score: (all batches) +17R

I think this is not a setup 1 that you're looking for.
You did not see a clear end to the 3 up. and already assumed 4th was over.
Trading Setup 1 means you're assuming or seeing a Wave 3, followed by a clear Wave 4. and you're assuming that from what you see, 4th wave might be over and the breakout of the RANGE of 4 will take price into the 5th wave. If you plot that trade on your H4 chart you'll see that you've traded right at the peak of a Wave.
The Levels to the left were too close. and there was only 1R distance from entry to tZ1.
There was clear divergence on AO suggesting 1-5 complete.
There was no Fresh Cross of ZL, suggesting A wave 4.
This was not a trade taken in anticipation of a new Wave 5 rather taken at the peak/end of a wave 3 sequence.
hope this helps...

Plus note that it was Setup 2 box. So the TIGHT box that one could have taken , was already broken. Your entry was on the 2nd, and WAY FAR AWAY box low. Not a setup you want to take. it does not give you an edge.
The essence of Setup 1 is to take TIGHT boxes... that break into Wave 5. Discipline please.

Why am I commenting on H1 trades? You trade H4 don't you?
