Hi Grant

I had a chance to take only one trade today. The one in London open that caused -6 for you. The same here (-7,5 to be exact)! "Glad" to see that real pro is taking the same trade. Feels good now Looking forward the next one.

Keep up to good work Grant!

Kind regards
Tomi

I just started following your journal. I was reviewing your 5 trades for 2 Feb. I could find all of your trades on my charts, but it was agonizingly difficult. I know that you have a lot of data on your Trade Records, but I would really like you to give us 2 more pieces of data:

Is the trade a Buy or Sell
Trade entry time (your chart time)

Another option would be to place a vertical line on the candlestick where you enter the trade and label the chart Buy or Sell.

If you have the above data on your each trade, please tell me where.

Thanks, Dennis

Hi Dennis

Wise decision to follow Grant's journal. You will learn more here than anywhere else in the forum.

A buy is marked on the chart by a BLUE arrow pointing to the right.
A sell is marked on the chart by a RED arrow pointing to the right.

The arrow is followed by a dotted line that takes you to where the trade is closed, marked by a red arrow pointing to the left.

Times and prices can also be found on his dot analysis chart. His Alpari charts are plus 1 hour, so his analysis chart will be 1 hour behind.

Cheers

Hi everyone,

Only managed to sit through the London am session today and only 1 set up but the PO didn’t trigger. So a disappointing end to a good week.

Weekly total is +71.6 pips (+5.5%)

Have a great weekend!!
Cheers

Hi Dennis,

As David has said all the trades are marked by arrows and dotted lines so you can see the entry and exits, the times are also in the pic as well.

Comparing the dot analysis SS to your chart is probably the best way of seeing the dots as i trade (or dont trade) them, then refer to the relevant PDF number for the exact picture.

Have a great weekend

Thanks David and Grant
I see the entries now. But the marker arrows are tiny. At least I now know what to look for when I print Grant's charts to compare to my trading. For me, one of the best reasons for checking out your charts is how and where to properly exit. With the new V5.1 making the chart reading much easier, plus the fact that I now watch the 5 min charts which I never did previous to this, proper entries are much easier. However I have to admit that I often want to jump into a trade before the Red or Blue dot appears. However, when I tell our 5 man Skype group what I am doing for a PO, and I do it without a dot, there is always someone in our group who slaps me down. Sometimes I need it.

Displaying M5 and M1 side by side and keep looking at both charts is the Essence of AIMS Stress Free Trading! \m/
