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.

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

Unread post by Bettina »

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.

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.

Also typical

Unread post by Bettina »

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.
