2 things
1. We can't see your entry and exit on the chart. you can drag and drop trades from history in the terminal. 
2. H4 was NOT in tune for this and hence it is NOT A setup 1. Hence possibly you might want to consider marking this as DS0.

Trade In line with the Dominant Trend

Unread post by immy »

1. Make sure the Gator on H4 is Open in the direction of your trades.
2. Generally its not a good idea if the higher time frame is in a predominately bearish trend.
3. Check the D1 chart and you will find that USDCAD is in a strong Down Trend.

This is not a Setup 1 on H1... But actually a Setup 1 on H4.  Explained on chart below ... Score here should be DS0

Based on the FlowChart rules, you have ignored the "is levels to the left too close" ... best entry order should have been where you've makred the box with green rectangle. 
Also ,there was no fresh cross of ZL on the AO

This is the main violation of the FlowChart rules. The BOX is too big.

Hi immy, 

Once again thanks for taking the time out of your trading schedule to review my trades, having this accountability I’m sure is going to push me on to be consistently profitable. 

Reviewing your comments above I’m going to add the following steps to my S1 checklist
Confirm H4 gator is open in the direction of the signal
Confirm signal does not oppose higher timeframe trends

And I’ll update my AO step to include a ‘fresh cross’ check.

cheers!
