Trade Number: B3-T5 (#656)

2. Date/Time: 02/11/20 at 12.13

3. Symbol/TF:    aus200/M1

4. Signal Type / Direction : S1/buy

5. Comments and Feelings at the Time of Taking The Trade: 

H1:  Break up out of H1 congestion.  Breakout candle at the purple line.  I’m happy with this H1 set up.

M5:  Strong The candles on M5 weren’t super strong, and the ao peak wasn’t huge.  I’m not happy with this M5 set up.  Based on the lacklustre M5 ao peak I think I should have not taken it.

M1: Dot, gator, pl, ao cross all correct.  Box 61.

6.Comments and Trades After Exiting the Trade:  My execution wasn’t good.  Price moved quickly after the first valid blue dot, and the order type changed from swing to limit.  Neither of the limit orders I placed triggered, so I cancelled them and then after the second blue dot I placed a swing order.

Both the US500 & US2000 gave valid S1 signals at around the same time with similar price chart patterns, and both those charts were stronger - actually, looking at the charts again now, the US2000 on M5 had the strongest ao peak so I think if I'm in this position again, where all the charts are looking similar, maybe I need to check the strength of the ao peak and take the strongest.

2. Date/Time: 03/11/20 at 4.45

3. Symbol/TF:    nzdusd/M1

4. Signal Type / Direction : S1/buy

5. Comments and Feelings at the Time of Taking The Trade: 

H1:  Strong break out of H1 box.  H1 gator open up.

M5:  Strong movement up on M5.  But only two big green m5 candles above the H1 box break line.  Maybe this is something to be wary of. 

M1: Dot, gator, pl, ao cross all correct. 

6.Comments and Trades After Exiting the Trade:  I went back and checked the spread because it looks wide on the chart, but it was only 1.5 pips at the time of entry.  Technically a valid S1, but maybe I need to look for more than a two candle move on M5 before I consider it a trend.

6.Comments and Trades After Exiting the Trade: 
I was rushing and this entry got triggered as I was about to move the entry a bit higher because the price was so close to the purple line.  While I was rushing I actually managed to click to enter twice and so ended up with two orders that stopped out a minute later.  It all happened so quickly.

It was about here this evening that I started feeling overwhelmed by the number of charts giving signals and did what I usually do after being consistent, and that is to lose discipline and start overtrading.
