Humpha's big wave journal

Hey Tony. Good attempt there. Always good to be IN the market for the potential run.
I did not take that particular one since there were already 6 consecutive directional candles in the box, but may as well have taken off....

I for one, i use the aims box sl following technique when i see 5min in sync with a 1min trade and initial impulse out of box allows first narrow box to form above be.

Cheers Herbert,
Great to get different views on set ups, many thanks for your reply

Waited for this set-up AO was old with powder blue dot, but took it because 5 min was about to cross the 0 line down and it just felt right, +6

2nd trade for the night - Red news was released, didn't really shake things, shark swam straight under my board so waited a few more minutes then placed PO, paddled in and caught a nice little wave - +8

1hr trade gbp/jpy - lucky escape set PO and forgot to check for red news, work got in the way, didn't look at the screen for 4 hours and then checked - Red news hit and gave me my 1%, 50 pips in 1 candle and hit my tp at 4hr low. THE GREAT ESCAPE, (whew) so with 1% made for the night it was bbq, rugby league and cold beer time without needing to look at a 1min chart.

3 x trades for the night on Monday 30th
1hr trade eur/jpy no dot in line with 4hr and break of major support - 50 pips or 1%
1hr trade aud/jpy, dot and in line with 4hr missed tp by 3 pips and retraced, manually closed for 32 pips this morning when I woke up, had trailing stop of 40 pip in place. Closed for .6%
1 min trade eur/jpy loss of -6pip or .5%

So just over 1% for the night, as it was past 12pm when I finished trading, thought I would update my journal today but demo account monthly records were deleted. Must write them down straight away and take a picture after trade has finished. Good moves yesterday and today on htf's and many 4hr / daily combo's falling into line

Have been a little too bust for trading recently but have watched the charts for last 3 nights. Attempted a 4hr trade below on gbp/usd with stop trailing above aims box but it was just a little too close, Trade was up 41 pips and then retraced to just tag my stop and give me a 41 pip loss. Will learn from that. Need to give it more room to breath.

I have watched the 1min charts for the last 3 nights and haven't takin a trade. I am now live on 1min charts but trading small lots sizes until more confident. This is my first live trade this week on 1 min. Aud/usd +5
