Looking at this trade in hindsight it looks obvious. At the time it was not. I am disappointed not to take it but I traded my plan and am happy with that.

We can't win them all.

Hi,

I wanted to share with you, what my account has done, since I'm demoing with Aims.
It really has a nice complete impulse wave down. Green cycles show the news that came in.
It really seems, that I'm trading Elliott waves and don't pay enough attention to proper setups.
And the more I try to watch in parallel, the worse it becomes.
Think I will need some time, to think about the right measures.

1 ) The first thing I know quite clearly : My rents are to high
So I will forget about PC and try to keep them smaller, in case I took wb instead of w5 - no, hmmh, how to express that without waves ?
Price retraces to fast, I can see a spike, there is an opposite dot ... ???

2 ) Second is exactly Immies "special treatment" : Concentrate just on the grounded assessments

My feeling is like standing on my feet.
Ok, positively seen : this account wave down seems to be completed ( ungrounded :)) )

Bettina!

Sad to see it make a wave to the downside. It just shows that for now, you're not yet in tune with the profit wave. And it certainly does not mean that you cannot turn this around. Long ago I checked the waves of my account and I still do. Everything in the universe is a wave and its no surprise to me that when people lose money their accounts create waves to down side while the winners and the best winners remain in a constant extend up wave. I do have 4th waves on my account, but they tend to go sideways. Isn't this amazing? i checked children's growth charts and they also shows 5 waves and correction. i checked alot of other things, e.g. my spendings on certain items. I tend to spend alot on them, then cut down and then spend alot again! (rofl)

I hope and wish for you to turn this wave upside down. You can do it! Just take it easy and keep it simple. A Setup is a Setup is a Setup!
