Good evening,

The scenic route! But finished with a little better than 1R :)

I think my next thing, the next stage, is being content with a small winner and not letting it come back to BE. For example, the three BE trades in this set all showed a little profit, enough to allow my stop loss or mental exit point to be advanced to a better than BE position, but I sat and watch it show +5 or +10 and come back to BE. 
I need to be better at accepting that what I thought would happen isn’t happening.
The balance though of course is not choking the trade, giving it a chance, but at the same time recognising when there’s an exit signal.

Agreed with the latest post... if we could do this and continue to make 5-7 10 points on a 12 Seconds chart... its a GOLDMINE...

One Tip: Try posting s12, M1 and M5 charts ... so that you can appreciate it later...

Hi all, 

Need to renew my Microsoft Office subscription so no Excel template today. Nice trade though at the 10:20 break. Had set orders earlier in the session, around 10:00 for shorts and 10:02 for longs, as pullbacks within LOBOTs, though they didn't ever trigger.

+0.5 and +17.3 today :)

Good afternoon,

Work is really busy at the moment and so my attention is directed towards that. Which means that’s it for me in 2020. Thank you Immy and all for the company and direction. 

My goals remain the same - financial independence trading the AIMS systems, and I look forward to continued progression next year.

Safe holidays to all.

Dave
