Edward's Journal - Rebooted
Hooray, I have finally finished my Trading Plan and put together a rudimentary EA to setup my Pending Orders and manage my trades. So it is time for me to publish my plan and reboot my T20 journals.
I found starting out difficult because I didn't quite understand the more intricate details of the S1 and of course, I keep missing out bits on the flowchart. Now with a better understanding, I am rebooting my T20 journals from 12 Nov 2019.
Here goes my trading plan. Journals to follow.

Re: Edward's Journal - Rebooted
Congratulations on Completing your trading plan and starting your new journal.
Its the best thing you could have done ever to put yourselves in the top 5% in the world.
Although I see you have a tough and rough start. That's a great lesson. If you survive this, you will come out stronger better trader on the other side
all the best

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".
