Batch No.20

Trade No. 10
Date: 17/04/2018

Pair: EJ

Signal Type : H1 Setup 1

Notes and feelings I note for myself before my trade outcome: It just got triggered, it already tried a setup 1 long but failed, a new tight box so giving this a go. Will post chart shortly. My only concern is that H1 chart has a wave 5 already printed but I think anything can happen here. H4 is in wave 3 and slightly diverging so hhhhmmm maybe not best signal to take.

Hindsight notes:

DS1 for this trade. ()

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.

One of the biggest problems of shorter time frames is exactly what you referred to. "too busy on m5 , forgot to update journal"... GREAT... (anything below H1)

The problem is that they (the traders and the short time frame based method) trade TOO OFTEN and because of that it is very hard to record your trades.

This is a vicious cycle, a downward spiral.

One needs more discipline, faster reactions, and "use a larger portion of a limited resource called - The Decision Fuel -

(yeah just made it up, but you get the point) ...

it appears we run out of this fuel fast. One can't take that many decisions that drains our energies...

It leads to over trading,
it leads to higher transaction costs,
it leads to spending too much of life in pursuit of something that can be achieved otherwise...

there are so many bad points of shorter time frames... ...

Could this be the reason why M5 and M1 is marred with dead bodies of traders (gaming analogy) who've succumbed. The tomb stone reads ... "consistent losses for most beginners/intermediate traders" BEWARE the Faster Time Frames...
