Batch 4 completed, moving to batch 5.

What did I learn - this batch I added Cherry which gave me another signal to learn and helped with more entry signals.
I didn't score as high in discipline at 75% but now I think I have Cherry entry worked out.

Towards the end of the batch I was more prepared to wait for the right ones to show up, rather than take ones that may work.
If there is nothing there to take, walk away and do something else.

Thanks again to Jasmien for being my security blanket! in the background, I have learnt so much. :) :cup catch up must be due! (Jas you even have me using an emoji for you, I never used these!)

Looking forward to Batch 5.

Hi

I don't understand this trade. Is it a D1 Cherry? if yes, then why are you out before the cherry hit the low of the bar?

Likwise, what is happening here, isee that you went short but exited well before the High of the Sell Cherry is hit?

Please enjoy a coffee with Jasmien and ask her what is a Cherry Setup!!! :D :nerd
