Trade #2
Nasdaq
Monarch
Not executed according to my plan. So like the last trade, instead of WAITING for it to pass the old high, i entered on a kinda cherry signal. In any event, a totally botched trade....from an analysis. Execution was perfect.
Resutl: -10 -$53.68
DS0

Totals for Day 1
5 Trades -$23.40

So basically BE. I'm mentally multiplying everything by 10. So this would be a $230 loss on a $50,000 acct. less than 1/2 of 1%. no biggy, but not happy with going off my TP so bad. 5 trade and 3 DS0's. All mental. Good execution. My biggest issue is I know too much! I don't mean that to sound arrogant, but I'm seeing setups on other strategies I've tried over the years...oh there's a ......, oh see that....it's a ...... I need WAY more resolve to just stick to my T20 plan.

Trade #7
EURUSD 6E
S1
Looking at this after the fact I think AO crossed 0 line too far, and the pullback retraced wayyy to far....almost to the previous swing high. But that's not a reason to pass on the trade in my TP so giving myself a DS1
Result: -4 -$28.68

Trade #8
JPYUSD
S1
My tick chart isn't loading correctly so this is a 1 min chart ie M1 for those Mt4 folks. ie Grant's timeframe
it had already made several moves down, and continued to do so after this trade. I put the PT right above the previous low
Result: +19 +$115.07
DS1

Day 2 Results
3 trades. 2 DS1's a little better
+162.71 about 3.3%. I'd take this day in and day out dollar wise. just shouldn't have taken that one Hunt sig.

Trade #9
EURUSD 6E
I didn't think the entry was bad....strong move up on AO followed by a pullback and then a turn back up. HOWEVER....This was NOT a clearly defined setup according to my TP. 1. AO moved up from a huge move under 0 line. I want to see it move up out of a CONSOLIDATION. 2. The turn back up was from another strategy....(34B) and not the AIMS strategy I'm using. So a small loss and a clear DS0
Result: -6 Ticks -$41.18
DS0
