Hi Herbert, Immy,
thanks for your replies.
The second one was pure nonsense. Just a try, whether there could be a few pips for me, but already when entering I knew, that this was not a good idea. So it was more quick fault correction than trade management.

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.

Yo, banana boy!

Re: Bettina's Journal
At least today some pips ( 8.5 ) on GU, exit at 15 Min low.

Re: Bettina's Journal
some more, 8.6 on EU. Exit was TZ2 on M1, bit early, because w5 became w3, but I'm happy with no rents and 2.02% today.

Very typical picture
that's what I do all the time :
1 ) I enter w5 too late and miss to take profit in time : -3.9 instead of possible +6/+9
2 ) I enter w3 too early, am taken out by PC and then miss the real run : -4.9 instead of possible +8/+10
just wanted to fix it here.

Re: Bettina's Journal
Hallo Bettina,
I did exactly the same.( das mache ich schon seit Monaten so!!!, warum???) I think, it is the left brain. I always looking for more certainity because there are some levels to the left side. There is still a lot of work for me, but mentaly.

Nearly desperate
Hi Alexander,
ja, warum - keine Ahnung ??
This time it was w5 too early, though there was a fresh cross of ZL, HTFs down, Alli was sleeping, trendline broken..... - 7

Also typical
The following are two examples why I nearly never get any good trade.
Both had shown w5 up and then small 3 and 5 down, then PC, which looks like real w2. That's why I set POs expecting w3 down.
When the green w5s changed to w3 I cancelled my POs, because I didn't want to trade into the correction of that w3 up.
I really have many such examples. And I have not the slightest idea, what I could do here.
If I try a trade down against w3 up and after w5 down, I have no confidence into that one and will get out after 3-5 pips.
I would be interested how others handle these situations.
