There goes my epic attention to detail.. oh boy its DS20%. Never mind, you've earned the badge. AS discussed earlier (skype) if your score is less than 50% for a batch , in stage 2, you'll have to repeat that batch. You need to score at leats 70% average for the next 4 batches to get to Stage 3.

Happy Train(d)ing

Hello Everyone.

Thanks so much Immy, Jas, Vicky and Sam for having a look at my journal. I really appreciate your words of encouragement. There is no way I am giving up. The only way is forwards.

Immy, I am happy to repeat as many batches as I need to get to the point where I am proficient at trading.

I'm trying to be disciplined. I can see that my impatience is leading me to take trades that don’t meet the setup 1 criteria. That said, I’m getting better at spotting a good S1 I think, they are becoming a bit more obvious and a few times have jumped off the screen at me.

I know I’m not supposed to, but I have been trying my hand at M1 on the DAX30. The time fits well with me and I can pretty much see the screen for most of the two hours from London Open. I have still been trying to do H1 as well, but I really find I struggle with it because I’m trying to take trades when there is nothing there because I want to be doing something.

I am keeping records for both M1 and H1. Following is my T20 for M1. I putting my M1 T20 next because I’ve almost finished it. My DS is looking better, not super, but if I can score a DS1 for the next 2 trades (I just finished trade 18), then I will have a DS1 of over 50% (hooray!).

DAX M1

T3/20

Date Entered: 02/02/2018

DS1

Pros: Red dot, gator closed, small box, right side of purple.

Cons: TP just after TZ1. I should have been quicker to adjust pending stop so R was the size of the smaller box (then TP would have been before TZ1).
