Thats the way it should be. Well done on that. She is a Saint indeed. lol
The whole purpose of the forum and the chatroom is to provide some kind of support. Men do it really badly. they have ego issues.
They want to show me they are GREAT traders. instead of learning to trade.
You gals will beat us all in trading ...
You bet yah! (well, that's what we are hoping!)

2. What could I have done different? What did I learn from this trade.

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.

Thanks Immy, I was going to do a review and add feelings etc. I just needed to step back for a day or so to think about where to next. I shall add these questions for the next batch.

I wondered about this, my swing lines were set here and I wondered if it was because of the level that had been before to the left, or it might have been that I saw it a bit after it had moved from the current box so the swing lines had moved to the next level. I should have manually adjusted it after this. The outcome could have been at least a BE.

Batch 6. A bump in the road and some soul searching.
I have stil struggled with this batch, I think coming off the back of my last large negative batch (batch 5) I am still trying to work out what happen and where I went wrong.
Some of it was due to getting over confident and adding another indicator incorrectly (seed) instead of continuing on the slow and steady path.
I have the feeling I am missing something, there is something that needs to click/fall into place that will be my next ahh moment and make the journey and lessons to date make more sense. I know I have been on a new learning curve since at AIMS and I am greatful for where I am so far, but I know there is more to learn.
Reviewing charts everyday and watching the patterns, I see all that has happened after it unfolds and some of these moves have gone without me. A feeling of missed opportunities or not the skill level yet to see them unfold?
While giving up is not an option, and trading is not an easy profession, I get the feeling it should be a more natural process than grappling with where I am at present.
Maybe Batch 7 will throw some more light in the tunnel........ lets see.
