Nikita`s journal

[Nikita]

And it a new day. YD i was analysing my trades - see nothing wrong with them. Only 1st trade (monarch) was a little risky (not enough pullback) but i gave it a try due to the beginnig of the session. Still left a DS 1.

Today DAX gone wild in the beginning. Then we could see a clear move, and some saddle points.
There was a cherry at 11-33, but decide to skip it - after morning chaos i wanted to see a less risky signal (that was 10pips). Location and GFC was ok, but discretionary choice was made. Later market show me that i was wrong, but no regret. There always be tommorrow.

6/20 - Cherry - GFC ok - DS 1- BE - "0%"
Total: "0%"
DS 1/1

Dax show nothing interesting for me last week, and this week is still leave something to be desired.
I m thinking about watching another pair for the rest of the week, may be check the EU or GU..

P.S. Now i m doing my best to forget about % and to concentrate on DS. It s still pretty hard for me, but i believe to Immy, who said that when i reach 18-19/20 DS - %growth will be a byproduct of it.
Patience and discipline

Very deep thoughts, Immy. Need to think about it. Thanks for sharing.

Today for the 1st time i reached my day limit "-3%". And the 1st thing i did - i had closed MT4. Hope, it saved me much more money that i lost today.
All the trades i took were ok for me. Location - ok, it was the 1st 30 min of LO, so volatility was on my side. May be i was too eager to trade.. I cant say this with confidence.
I wasnt worry or smth like that. It just happened.
Later i will take a look at every trade again. But i have feeling, that i did ok. So i ll try to pat myself.

3/20 - seed (monarch) - GFC ok - may be it was emotional trade, but in line with my rules - DS 1 - "-1%"
4/20 - cherry - GFC ok + position of this trade was better that 1st one - DS 1 - "-1%"
5/20 - seed - GFC ok (new peak) - attempt to catch 5 of 3 - DS 1 - "-1%"
Right after 3rd trade i thought of 4, but quickly turn the MT4 off.
Total: "-3%"
DS 3/3

It is my 1st day when i reach rent limit. Need to oversleep with that. I think it is very usefull experience, although very unpleasant. The one which sets seeds of unfonfidence.

Discipline and patience.

i WON'T GIVE YOU DS OF 3 OUT OF 3. I will only give you 1 out of 3.

Trade 1 was ok, but you entered trade 2 before you exited trade 1. That is a mistake.
then when you made a mistake, you cannot trade during the same wave so tarde 3 is a mistake. we cannot trade 10 times to catch only one 2% within one wave... it does not make sense.

[Nikita]

About my 3/3 score. I checked everything again. You are right about 3rd trade. I ve changed DS to 2/3.
I have no rules of taking 2 trades in one direcion. So it was DS 1 + TP of both trades were almost the same.

Today was a quite day fro me again. Immy i LOLing about my intension to check another pair. I guess, he is right.

2015-10-29_1242.png

7/20 - seed - GFC ok - DS1 - BE - "0%"

* - that trade i skipped. It was W5 on my chart when the signal appeared. It was W5 wich reached TZ1. So no trade. I laid aside that trade without any hesitation.
That is why i need rules.

Total: "0%"
DS 1/1

Patience and discipline.Patience and discipline.Patience and discipline.Patience and discipline.Patience and discipline.

[immy]

Yes Nikita, this was wave 5 and it had hit TZ1 but Michael took it anyway. Perhaps he saw something that we did not! never mind... I'm proud to say no trades for me either! 2 days now! but its great joy to admit that.

[Nikita]

It is great experience to enjoy what you are talking about!

8/20 -cherry - GFC ok, right after LO -DS 1/1 - rent - "-1%"
But then Immy show me some part of his journal with Volatility reules (wich i immediately added to my trading plan) and i realized that it wasnt HPS
9/20 - seed - GFC ok - but i 1st set PO with previous monarch, then deleted and set new one. that wasnt a mistake as new seed was twice smaller, but wont do it next time. It it not violation of the rules, but i had a few situations like that, so will add it to my trading plan - DS 1/1 - rent - "-1%"

Total:"-2%"
DS: 2/2

Another harsh week for me is over. Unfortunately, result of October is "-6,3%". BUT - thanks to rules it is not -10% or more. Rules helped my go through this tought perioud with minimal loss. I m building my faith in system. And from day to day it become stronger and stronger.

Patience and discipline.

I want to say 'THANK YOU" to everyone who wa in chatroom today. Unfortundately you became bystanders of my DS failure, but i it was a big pleasure to see no indifference of you. What a support and advices. That is a pleasure! It is strange to realise that we nevee see each other before. If someone hesitate enter or not in chatroom - i want to say that there you will obtain not only knowledge, but real comrades, people who are going in the same direction as you. If you can cant estimate the last one - you are a way to young for all this sh*t.. (angel)

As for my terrible perfomance today. Market was moving like insane! Super volatility, not an easy spots to jump in..

2015-11-02_2337.png

10/20 - seed - GFC ok - everything was ok. It was not an easy trade, but it was setup according to my rule. I jumped in, endure the 11-06 down move (the hardest part) and then closed it with 0,5 SL (angry) - DS 0 - "-0,5%"

Total: "-0,5%"
DS: -1/1

I was out of zone, market, mind.
But i have a new day to not repeat this hell.

Patience and discipline

[Nikita]

After my DS failure i m gonna watch my emotions and DS closer.

Today was a queit session for me. I dont trade LO breakout, may be i should.. next year, i think.

2015-11-04_1249.png

11/20 - monarch seed - I knew that it hardly break throught prev low, but need to check such setups (1:1 was hit) - DS 1 - "0%"

Total: 0%
DS 1/1

[Nikita]

Didnt trade a lot last week due to the job issues.

2015-11-09_1307.png

Patience and discipline


P.S. Does anyone know where i can download quatations for DAX? I cant download anything older than sep.15 from my broker. Are there any databases?

Does anyone know where i can download quatations for DAX? I cant download anything older than sep.15 from my broker.

You can put a huge number in Options -> Charts -> Max bars in history. Your chart will load more bars and you can save the charts as csv for Forex Tester. I'm not aware of such history database. This is semi-ok'ish solution.
