Batch 4 (D1 & H4)

Trade 07 D1

Setup style Waltz

Gbp/Jpy

End result BE

R result to date for this batch 1.6R
DS score for the batch 07/06
Overall total R score (all batches) + 44.35R

My feelings and analysis at the time of entry and afterwards: D1 showed Waltz, H4 PO out of box, I was not here to see this one continue, as we went away. Got to BE and then bounce.

What would you do differently: Could have got a 1R with the double bottom on H4, if I was here to monitor.

Batch 4 (D1 & H4)

Trade 08 H4

Setup style Waltz

Usd/Jpy

End result 4R

R result to date for this batch 5.6R
DS score for the batch 08/07
Overall total R score (all batches) + 48.35R

My feelings and analysis at the time of entry and afterwards: D1 saw double top had been, then red candle started to move, wave was dropping back to zero line. MA coming together and dropping down, H4 waltz, PO on. I saw this just before NY open. TP reached today.

What would you do differently: Nothing, these are what I am looking for. More to come.

Batch 4 (D1 & H4)

Trade 09 D1

Setup style: Break out of box not a good one

Eur/Gbp

End result -1R

R result to date for this batch 4.6R
DS score for the batch 09/07
Overall total R score (all batches) + 47.35R

My feelings and analysis at the time of entry and afterwards: D1 Break out of box and sideways market, Po set. After inital take off, down hill from then on. Rode it all the way to SL

What would you do differently: Looking at it now, I should have exit and gone short at the double top. Thinking it would bounce again didn't happen

When I read in chat that you were long on EG I scratched my head. I was wondering for a few days. Now I know. This is just a random break of a BIG Box. Not good. no edge there...

Thanks Immy, I went to update my journal and saw you had left a note, I knew you would have words to pull me back into line!
Appreciate you keeping me on the straight and narrow.

Batch 4 (D1 & H4)

Trade 10 D1

Setup style: Banana

Aud/Usd

End result -1R

R result to date for this batch 3.6R
DS score for the batch 10/08
Overall total R score (all batches) + 46.35R

My feelings and analysis at the time of entry and afterwards: D1 Banana, PO set. Filled but didn't continue in my direction. Out before it got to BE

What would you do differently: Immy chart attached, ok to take the signal for the first one, maybe second, but after that it is too late in the wave. Avoid the late ones.

11/08/2021

Batch 4 (D1 & H4)

Trade 11 D1

Setup style: Pull back H4

Eur/Usd

End result +1.5R

R result to date for this batch 5.1R
DS score for the batch 11/09
Overall total R score (all batches) + 47.85R

My feelings and analysis at the time of entry and afterwards: D1 I had been waiting for the candle to fall under MA line and wave to head towards zero line. Entry on H4 from pull back. Was aiming for TP a bit lower at the next box level down, with trailing candle out at 1.5R

What would you do differently: Taken profit at the level before would have had a 2R.

Batch 4 (D1 & H4)

Trade 12 H4

Setup style: Pull back H4

Gbp/Jpy

End result BE

R result to date for this batch 5.1R
DS score for the batch 12/10
Overall total R score (all batches) + 47.85R

My feelings and analysis at the time of entry and afterwards: D1 started dropping, H4 pull back after trigger candle. Quickly to Be, but pull back again was  above my initial entry. Ending at BE.

What would you do differently: Would have worked if not moved to BE, still going short.

Thanks Immy. I have not been as hands on lately, due to school holidays and end of year school exams.
Should be free soon to get back into it.
I have updated my Banana indicator and spent alot of time reading your forum content, viewing charts and looking at the levels.
Emma has been a great inspiration as well.

Thanks for your continued support.
