Batch 4
Trade 16
Eur/Jpy H4
Red dot, PO set. Wave at zero line.
End result was -1R
R result to date for this batch: -1.75R
DS score for batch: 13/16
Overall total R score: (all batches) +17.8R
My Feelings and Analysis at the time of entry and afterwards: - I had been watching this one, waiting for it to broke out of the sideways channel. Should have set my PO lower at the bottom of the box to the left. It would not have filled.
What could I have done different: PO would have been better set lower.

Batch 4
Trade 17
Usd/Jpy H4
Blue dot, PO set. Wave at zero line. Nice S1, gator tight.
End result was +4R
R result to date for this batch: +3.75R
DS score for batch: 14/17
Overall total R score: (all batches) +21.8R
My Feelings and Analysis at the time of entry and afterwards: - Back to basics and my H4 charts, viewing less charts now. I had been watching and waiting! Started strong, so I let it go, moving my stop along with the candles. End result overnight 4R. This is my first much more than 2R, so very exciting.
What could I have done different: Nothing these are the ones I'm looking for.

Batch 4
Trade 18
Usd/Cad H4
Blue dot, box was big, but TZ1 was above, I was waiting for it to bust out of the sideways activity that had been happening for awhile/
End result was +3R
R result to date for this batch: +6.75R
DS score for batch: 15/18
Overall total R score: (all batches) +24.8R
My Feelings and Analysis at the time of entry and afterwards: - I noticed the large red candle down, then it didn't follow through, wave near zero line, and TZ line formed above, As the box was big it gave me room for wiggle. Filled and then the long wick just after, thankfully the larger box saved me. Then the seeds and cherry long. Moved my SL as the boxes formed and it started to move. Due to moving my SL as it ran, this reduced my risk and gave me a 3R overall.
What could I have done different: Overall happy with this one, a few candles that made me think I had it wrong to start with, then it was off.

Batch 4
Trade 19
Gold H4
Blue dot, wave near zero. Pull back had been good, thought it was about to do W5.
End result was -1R
R result to date for this batch: +5.75R
DS score for batch: 15/19
Overall total R score: (all batches) +23.8R
My Feelings and Analysis at the time of entry and afterwards: - I just noticed that the TZ line was done, I didn't see this at the time I put the PO on. Also I was listening to news that gold was going up, which it had. No W5 should have gone short.
What could I have done different: Follow my rules, Vicky play your own game, don't listen to outside noise.
