Stopped out on Candle trail. Trade was just a couple minutes after the US stocks open. Can sometimes make a big strong push on the open and didn't want to miss it. Entry and exit according to TP so DS1
Result -4 ticks -$23.68

Overall results for today crappy for both trading results AND trading the plan. 2 DS0's out of 3 trades. -$118.54
Note to myself!!!! if I want to alter my TP....DON'T TAKE THAT TRADE NOW!!!! Just make a note of what I want to try or experiment with and incorporate it into the next T20? Not so hard, huh?

Trade #12 Early Monday AM. Note to myself....new day...new week....just take it one trade at a time! can't do anything about past mistakes (mental OR execution). Just start from right now and follow Immy's T20 plans. SOMEDAY i'll come up with something that I'm comfortable with, is more consistent, and that I enjoy executing. But I LOVE fast action so it'll definitely be some sort of tick chart or M1.
JPYUSD
Monarch. Looking for a new low on the day. Executed ok on the entry but not on exit. supposed to be doing a candle trail but i got impatient and moved by trailing SL too close. Go stopped for a 5 tick win instead oof my 11 tick PT
Result =$27.57

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.

Could you clarify your chart trading times in GMT. Moreover, can you use some sort of screenshot with annotations, I cannot see where you entered and exited on this chart. techsmith has snagit and free version jing . both i've used and very good.
