The power of add ons cannot be underestimated... reall money is in adding on! everyone must make this their goal number 2. Goal number 1 being getting the entries right and exiting at the correct spots and then start adding on... well done mate...Dave wrote:Just the one trade for today![]()

What is the Secret of Successful Trading?
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.
My Deathbed Advice "5:1 Reward to Risk Ratio".
Yo, banana boy!

Re: Dave from Sydney's Journal
Thanks Immy. It's taken a long time to get comfortable with the add ons. I've always known they're the way forward but loading up on add ons and mentally managing multiple entries are very different things and a bit more challenging than it seems. But I can see real improvement when compared to some trades I've recorded in this journal previously. I wasn't able to trail the stop loss with this one as I should have (time constraints) but the next step is letting that initial position follow the HTF levels - and in this case it could have produced a few more pips.
Thanks again for your comments.

Hi Zain, yeah I'm a shift worker so my schedule is a bit all over the place, but when time allows I like to make myself available for whatever session I can. I much prefer EU but some nice moves can come from Asia too.
