Batch 2 Trade 20
Pair: DAX30 M1
86372581 2018.07.06 11:06:51 sell 1.00 ger30 12458.55 12458.45 12436.99 2018.07.06 11:18:37 12458.65 0.00 0.00 0.00 -0.16
Entry Type: Setup 1
Exit: Hit SL after adjusted to BE
Result: R1:R0
Comments: Sell signal with a new box that was at 20 points. The AO just crossed the ZL. I took the entry using the box level to the left. I thought I was following the flow chart, but iMi said that Stage one people shouldn't be taking that entry. I would have hit 2R if I had used the original box size for the entry and not the larger one due to the level being close. I thought I was following the rules, but I wasn't.

Batch 2 of Setup 1's Analysis
Analysis for the last 20 trades is favourable. I originally began with a strategy to exit when the price closed inside the Gator's mouth as I was doing with my fruit entries. I changed this to taking profits at 2R. Results form this batch of twenty are as follows:
8 losses
6 wins
6 break evens
Discipline score was 17 of 20
DS 0's produced 2 losers and 1 BE
I am becoming more confident in seeing the Setup 1's and being a little more selective on my entries.
8 losses
6 wins
6 break evens
Discipline score was 17 of 20
DS 0's produced 2 losers and 1 BE

Re: Kevin's Journal
Good looking trades Kevin! It requires lot of discipline to wait for setups. Even on M1 and with moving markets, there might not be setups always. Now that's a game of waiting and you have showed a great discipline in there.

Yes, this is a prime example of two things .
1. We always tend to mix methods and carry baggage. as you switched from fruit to Setup you carried the fruit method exit technique which works but not desirable for Setup 1 method.
2. Once again a batch of Setup 1's comes up with the same results. .. 8 Losers = -8R 6 Winners (should be) +12R so total +4R. Average of T20's Setup 1 with 1RSL Moved to BE at +1R and Exit at 2R (TP) is 5R. so spot on. (There is a prerequisite for this method to work which is at least 70% DS)
The lower time frames have slightly more number of losers but this could not be confirmed as I have not done a proper comparison. I believe it might be so due to lack of discipline, which is easier to lose on lower time frames due to speed.
Nicely Done... keep going
