The Consistent Pursuit of DS1
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.

Re: Thomas's journal [trading The Hunt on H1]
Trade campaign 13/1
Summary
Summary
- Pair: USD/JPY
Entry: Setup 1
Risk: 34.8 P + 34.8 P = 69.6 P
Exit: Box trail/Box trail
Result: - 19.1 P - 19.1 P = - 38.2 P, - 0.54 R - 0.54 R = - 1.08 R
DS: 1 [11/13]
- Pre-trade remarks:
- H1, VL (1): Setup 1 into Wave 5 up
- H1, HL (1): 1:1 for the first Entry
- H1, HL (2): TZ1
- H1, Rec (1): Upper AIMS-Box levels of [H4] and [D1]
- H4, VL (1): Price within a Wave 5 up
- Post-trade remarks:
- The end of Wave 3 on [H1] corresponded with the upper AIMS-Box levels of [H4] and [D1].
So, I assumed some bigger resistence there, which made this campaign quite risky.
On the other hand, if price would have broken through this, it could have gone easily a long way up.
Worth trying, as all conditions fitted my TP.

- I forgot to disable ATM's Box trail during Asian Session [DS = 0].
Otherwise, SL would have been moved above the candle at [H1, VL (2)] after FO.
The entry spot itself was okay.
