Banana + S1 journal // m5-m1

Hello everyone.
Because of FOMC meeting i didnt trade 2 days. According to my experience market those days is a mystery for me.

Today were 3 trades and 1 missed opportunity.
1(with ?) - missed that or filter (even now i m not sure). Too big green candles.
2 - it was counter-trend but expected spike up before going down. Result: -1R.
3 - new low, break of level to the left and disgusting exit. DS 0. Result: 1:2R. Should be 3R.
4 - new low but close to the level. When big red apperead closed at 1:2,5 R. Usually after spikes it turn around.

No setup 1 for me today.

Pretty happy with my entries.

Today i was not in the Zone. 
I had this feeling in the beginning and tried to mange trades properly.

1 banana - rent. And I shouldn't take it. i trade clean pullbacks, but 1st pull was broken. Dont understand why i give it a try. DS 0
2 banana - BE. Move SL at 1:1. DS 1
3 banana - rent. Disgusting trade. Mrket was in chop range and i knew it. I Just want this trade. But there was no impulse + level to the left + against trend. DS "-1". 
4 banana - i was waiting for it and i spoiled it. Nice clean enter and "FEAR" made me move SL against my rules. It was not 1:1 and i moved SL to BE. Price made big green and it scared me. Close BE. BUT should end as 1:3. (I wouldnt give it a try to go longer). DS 00. 

The reason of these results is in the mirror. Result "-2R". Such behavior deserves such results.
Next day i m gonna be better.

Market was wild today. 
I marked with "?" trades i didnt take but was hesitating. 

1st ? - move was too extended.
2nd ? - move was ok + break of level, but so huge red candle.. Didnt dare to take. 

Then was my trade -  "-1R". But i was ok for me: new break if level, impulse, small pullback.

3rd ? - again, it was engulfing red bar. Too big for pull back (or not)? This one i regret that didnt give it a try.

Then was s1 try, which result in BE. 

Total result: -1R. 

Feeling after session: i m not satisfied with my emotions when i m in trade. I become much better in waiting for good moves, but when i m in - it is so hard for me to wait for my target. I always try to move my SL to be as soon as possible and even when i m in BE situation - i try to do smth to get a dollar from trade. It is counter-productive, i understand. And m gonna fix it.
