2. Date/Time: 04/05/2020 - Afternoon Session
3. Symbol/TF: DAX
4. Signal Type / Direction: Apple Short with addon
5. Setup Type: A
6. The situation on M5:
7. Comments and Feelings at the Time of Taking The Trade: Well I saw how price was breaking out into 3rd wave, pulled back; I was slightly confused why the C was so deep; but saw the Apple candle and triggered 50%; then the large box and red dot and triggered another 50%... Price kept going...
8. Comments and Trades After Exiting the Trade: Well tbh I was a bit overwhelmed as it was my first apple trade; even though I made a plan etc but one thing I realised is that you only learn when you trade live... Loads of question around when to move SL etc etc... When do I move the Apple SL to BE etc and also how many entries, 2 or 3... I think in this trade I should have done 3 entries you know...
