Hi All

No trades for me today despite the good moves I was generally unable to see a setup or missed them as I was away from the computer. I'd be interested to see if anyone took any trades so I can learn from their experience.

Cheers

Mike

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.

Hi Immy
Thanks for the honest reply, sorry for your rents but at least they were small, and thank you for this forum I'm finding it a real inspiration, the LoA was clearly at work sending me here.

Thanks

Mike

Thanks Grant, its helpful for me to know that I wasn't alone in not spotting setups.

I missed Imran's trade too so well done Immy for a good end to the day.

Cheers and here's to a pip filled day tomorrow - btw do you guys have a view on trading NFP day?

Day 3 and no trades today. I was out between 1and 4 this afternoon so missed any potential setups after NFP release.

Overall this week 2 trades total of 9.8pips so a positive start to my AIMS trading career

Wishing everyone a joyful weekend and an abundance of pips next week

first trade of the week is a rent payment, pretty frustrating especially seeing others have good trades, feel I'm missing something.

Anyway here is a picture of the setup, as always feedback welcome
