STAGE 2 HERE I COME.

UPDATED TRADING PLAN ATTACHED.

Ganesh

I've read through your trading plan and its an excellent. The fact that you've updated it after your batch is awesome. well done. Success without a simple but objective trading plan like this is an illusion to me.

cheers

slight correction... conceptual

There was a strong Bullish candle "BEFORE" the seed. that was the issue. but don't let that bother you in stage 2. Simple Check the 4 rules (Hunt Entry Rules) I'm sure you've study them up right?
Seed signal cancelled if e.g. a bearish seed is followed by a candle that breaks the high of the seed and also close above the high of the seed candle. A Cherry is invalidated if it breaks the high regardless where it closes.

hope this makes sense.

Thanks makes sense; and yes certainly studying the signals; I'm literally on a Hunt every morning!

1. Trade Number: 2/20 Batch 2
2. Date/Time: 08/01/2020 - Morning Session
3. Symbol/TF: Dax/1m
4. Signal Type / Direction: Long
5. Comments and Feelings at the Time of Taking The Trade: My first trade after few weeks; so felt a bit nervous + no valid entries all weak along. Confidence perhaps a bit low, but all factors added up.
6.Comments and Trades After Exiting the Trade: in hindsight, i'm glad I entered, not for the win but to get my first trade going. I also like the structure a lot; nice 3rd wave (no divergence in the 3rd wave); price went exactly to TZ1.

3. Symbol/TF: Dax/1m
4. Signal Type / Direction: Short

1. Trade Number: 4/20 Batch 2
2. Date/Time: 16/01/2020 - Morning Session
3. Symbol/TF: Dax/1m
4. Signal Type / Direction: Short
5. Comments and Feelings at the Time of Taking The Trade: Price was testing my patience today; going up and down and up and down; I was waiting for a break out and when I felt like I saw a "breakout" I got in on a seed.
6.Comments and Trades After Exiting the Trade: Price missed 1R which would have meant BE by 1pip; went back and stopped me out for a 1R loss; however biggest learning was that price hadn't formed a trent on the M5 yet... I perceived those spikes as a breakout and new trend forming but these were only spikes until price broke out properly from that M5 range later in the morning session (everything documented below.
7. DS For this Trade: 4DS
8. DS Running Total: 100% (4/20) (4DS1 & 0DS0)
9. Result: -1R
