Batch 4
Trade 09
Usd/Jpy H4 S1
S1 long, PO set, I had been thrown out of the short, now a long signal. Change of direction yet again and out at SL.
End result was -1R
R result to date for this batch: +0.25R
DS score for batch: 7/9
Overall total R score: (all batches) +19.8R
My Feelings and Analysis at the time of entry and afterwards: - Having the direction changed and a signal for S1 I was happy to place PO.
What could I have done different: Not taken it, the wave was wrong the pull back was not enough.

Usd/Jpy H4
Watlz spotted, doji. PO set, moved SL line a bit above to give it a bit more room till it started to take off.
End result was -0.5R
R result to date for this batch: +1.25R
DS score for batch: 6/8
Overall total R score: (all batches) +20.8R
My Feelings and Analysis at the time of entry and afterwards: - 2 trigger candles them small pause. Wave was near zero. Reduced risk as it dropped. direction changed and out at SL
What could I have done different: I was happy with the entry.
interesting trade here. if you look at it from the aims setup perspective you could not have taken more wrong trade ... hope you understand what i mean... its right in the NO TRADE ZONE between gator and purple...
I'd say trading walts on H4 and Trading Walts on D1 are TWO different things... entirely... the waltz trade on h4 depends on what time is your entry.
e.g. for EU or GU any waltz signal that requires entry at wellington open or tokyo open would not make sense... it probably will for UJ... so each pair needs a different strategy... i Will not take Waltz on anything other than D1, that is what its designed for. Waltz on D1 catches h1 setups.... H4 woudl catch m15 setups... don't need that shit...
hope it makes sense

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.

Batch 4
Trade 12
Aud/Usd D1 Waltz
PO set, bit of bouncing about to start, then it took off, BE. Last night it ran, I watched it go, so decided to move my SL down a bit and see if I could get a 3R out of it. Before heading to bed I decided to lock in my profit at the 2R and let it go overnight. Out at SL at 2R.
End result was +2R
R result to date for this batch: +2.25R
DS score for batch: 10/12
Overall total R score: (all batches) +21.8R
My Feelings and Analysis at the time of entry and afterwards: - Spotted the waltz candle after the large trend candle. PO on. This was a good one, thought it might be out for a bit, not much happening, then if was off.
What could I have done different: Happy with the entry on this one.

Batch 4
Trade 13
Nzd/Usd D1
PO set, dark green bars heading back to zero line. TZ line below. But it bounced out at just over 0.5R as I had adjusted my SL with the new box that formed.
End result was -1R
R result to date for this batch: +1.25R
DS score for batch: 11/13
Overall total R score: (all batches) +20.8R

What could I have done different: On reflections this was not a good signal and it would have been better to leave.Box was too large, gator not together enough.

Re: Vicky's Journals
Over the break I reviewed alot of charts, and notice alot that I had missed.
While I feel more confident that I read the charts better and see opportunities better, I am missing then while they are actually happening.
Even though I am doing a HTF I have decided to reduce the amount of charts I scan and get to know a few well, rather than try and check more and miss opportunities.
In summary - My hope is I can concentrate on a few and do this better rather than trying to catch all oppunities and miss most of them!

Blue dot, purple correct wave near zero, set PO higher to clear previous high to left.
End result was -1R
R result to date for this batch: -0.75R
DS score for batch: 12/15
Overall total R score: (all batches) +18.8R

What could I have done different: Waited to see if the wave 4 retraced more.
