Entry Type: Box Break Entry, Gator Sleeping
Exit: Closed below Gator's lips
Result: R1:R-1
Comments: Bracketed the AIMS Box because of news announcement. The Longs took charge. Made a mistake by not setting my second PO as a double sized lot. My intention is to click the PO button twice to get my 0.5% entry, but I didn't do that. When trade started to go sideways, I closed my position when it closed inside the Gator's mouth.
Discipline Score: 0
Confident to start with, then a little disgusted with myself for screwing up the second entry. Shake it off, and get back at it.

Optimistic and then saw a reversal opportunity. Closed on trailing bars and then opened a long position.

Comments:Took a fruit short at close to LO and the market didn't move. SL tightened up, so I just waited for the market to drop, or to get stopped out. Market dropped a little and made the trade profitable.
Discipline Score: 1
Optimistic as it's the start of a new week, although the EU has Labour Day tomorrow, so markets will be closed. That's probably why the DAX was stagnant today.

This is just another break of box. its No setup, it does not give you any edge. This is plain simple DS0.

The single short on this picture is not a proper fruit setup. there is no angle entry seems to be at a time when even box has formed. Fruit is to be hanging on the top branches of the proverbial tree... The longs were ok then. so you might consider that red short as a DS0. I'm getting upset now... lol

when you take a box break, let it be going into a wave 5. this is just a breakout. it does not give you an edge. if you took an LO breakout then you can call it that but its not strictly fruit method. DS0 if I were you.

This one has two problems 1. Its not really an ideal spot to trade the fruit. the fruit must be at the peak of a wave that you are predicting/analysing to have probably found an end and some evidence suggesting it might reverse. that evidence is that final price pulling away from gator. ... and then forming a strong fruit like so. 2. your entry was not timed correctly. you seem to have gone with market order, the fruit low was never broken at the time of entry.
