Batch 3

Trade 19

Eur/Usd H4 S1

Red dot, good entry, spoke of signal candle made the box larger, but once it started and the new box formed I moved my SL down, reducing my risk.

End result was BE

R result to date for this batch: +11.05R

DS score for batch: 15/19

Overall total R score: (all batches) +21.05R

My Feelings and Analysis at the time of entry and afterwards: - PO set, sideways to start, then it started to run, BE, then the spike out at BE. It seems to go with the terriorty at the moment, with Trump and Boris!

What could I have done different? Happy with this trade

Batch 3

Trade 20

Eur/Gbp H4 S1

Red dot, good start. Direction changed, out at SL.

End result was -1R

R result to date for this batch: +10.05R

DS score for batch: 16/20

Overall total R score: (all batches) +20.05R

My Feelings and Analysis at the time of entry and afterwards: - PO set, started strong. Hit the same level as to the left, and changed direction.

What could I have done different? It didn't get to BE, I could have exit earlier and taken some profit.

Review of latest batch.

Overall I am happy with the progress made with this batch. Ending with a +10R and DS score of 80% is a good result.
My account has recovered a bit.
Due to reduced position sizes it has been a very slow claw back, but I am nearly back to where I started with my initial deposit.

The Waltz taught me to read candles more, but overall the S1 on the D1 and H4 (where possible due to time) works better for me.
I plan to continue with this method and continue to grow my account.

Thanks Immy, I appreciate all your hard work and patients too. It is 5 years since I started on this journey, and I finally feel like I am starting to get somewhere.

Interestly, my next step is to overcome my mental block about increasing my position sizes.
So I can get back into the game, now my account has recovered.
Just shows there is alot of mind set in this game as well!

Batch 4

Trade 01

Gbp/Usd D1

Red dot, As Immy reminded me, I should not have taken this trade! Box too large and the trend has been going for awhile in the same direction. Still in long wave 3. Not a great start to this batch.
Note to self ....... Patients look for the best entry don't settle for any entry!

End result was -1R

R result to date for this batch: -1R

DS score for batch: 0/1

Overall total R score: (all batches) +19.05R

My Feelings and Analysis at the time of entry and afterwards: - Red dot seen, wave was coming back to zero line. PO placed.

What could I have done different? Not taken the trade it was wrong from the start.

Now in Stage 3 you have to learn to MINIMISE your Losses. This was CLEAR as day light 2 days ago, when I had the discussion with you that it was going up. it was clear. was it not clear to you? (hint: the strong Bullish bar? the fact that it was not a clean setup 1?)

Thanks Immy, yes agree. I had thought about ending it. I suppose there was the thought it might come back!
Will cut my losses early next time.

Batch 4

Trade 02

Eur/Usd H4

Red dot, W3 complete. PO on. SL adjusted as it moved from the box and a new box formed, reducing my overall risk to half.

End result was -0.5R

R result to date for this batch: -1.5R

DS score for batch: 1/2

Overall total R score: (all batches) +18.55R

My Feelings and Analysis at the time of entry and afterwards: - At the time I was happy with this entry, on review now I am wondering, I question that the gator lines were not all closer together? also the wave was not closer to zero at the entry point?

What could I have done different: To help with reducing funds lost, would it have been a good idea to exit when the green candle crossed the green line?

Note to self: be aware of self sabotage. Do not undo the last good batch with a run of loses and lower discipline. Patients, stick to the rules and the plan.

I think you will learn from the video I just posted in the chatroom. Wish I looked at this picture before recording I'd have addressed it.
but here is what I think
1. The choice of signal here is questionable. wave 4 is Impulsive wave up. too impulsive, its gone 68% pullback.
2. Exit was not the issue, entry was the issue. NEver mind NEXT

cheers
