Usd/Chf
Signal: 16-11-2016 Long
Signal time: 7:00 GMT
Triggered 8:00 GMT

SL: 22pip


Reasons for trade other than signal:
I felt overall bullish on Usd based pairs on some rather very basic fundamentals, after election etc. Unfortunalty I got stops out at 0.5 R loss.

4 Hours later it actually gave me another opportunity with a good looking setup 1, however I did not take it. I wondered later why I didn't take it and I think because of my 0.5 R loss prior I lost confidence in that pair. If I had taken the next setup based on my rules which was at 14:00 GMT it would have been a beautiful 2 R.

I learned so far with my 30+ setup's taken that the strategy is rather forgiving, and so far most of my losses where less that 1R. I am still at 2R TP which I really like because I can see my account getting healthier while still learning and working on my confidence level even though I know I should be just focusing on DS which I'm really trying to do, but of course I get exited when I see profits by default.

I also picked up that my confidence level can be good one day and the next day I am doubting myself again e.g when a loss had occurred. So continuing with T20 batches I think is the best thing for me right now.

Outcome Profit/loss RR: TP reached. 2 R gog

Eur/Jpy Long
Signal: 16-11-2016 Long
Signal time: 6:00 GMT
Triggered 8:00 GMT

SL: 20pip

I took the setup even though it went against my rules, purple line was still slightly inside the box but it should really been outside of box. Also the blue dot had a rather large box, so I took the signal regardless and just put SL below the new box. What also made me taking it was on h4 it had a nice open gator however in hignsight I should have just flicked it. It had my favourite ewave reading also. I stopped the trade out at a 3 pip loss. Basically if box is too large and purple is still inside box it does not fit with my Trading Plan.

I haven't given myself a DS here.

P.s I should also state that I am using the black diamond as my exit signal.

I saw the setup it looked nice within a nice downtrend. I put the PO in and left; SL was nice too. I didn't think too much about it, by next day morning it had my 2 R TP ) I was so happy.

Gbp/Jpy long
Signal: 17-11-2016 short
Signal time: 13:00 GMT
Triggered 14:00 GMT

SL: 33pip

I was anticipating a setup on this pair, but got distracted and took it 13 pips later after initial trigger should have occurred therefore slightly less than 2R return.
It had the perfect ewave pattern, no guess work. H4 not only open gator but price has also retraced slightly to green line.

Eur/Usd long
Signal: 4-11-2016 short
Signal time: 16:00 GMT

SL: 33pip

This was quite a lesson with this trade. I wasn't aware that it woulb be not a good idea to open contracts on H1 on a Friday's; especially afternoon's or late evening. I didn't think about that at all, so I stayed in the trade over weekend and had a gab on Monday with an additional 1 R loss.

So on this trade I coped a 2 R loss.

What I learned from the trade is: that it could have been avoided. I had a conversation with Pedro on Skype about this and got some clarification. When you trade the D1 chart basically HTF's we would not be as affected by gab's as much as on a H1 chart.

Other than the Friday situation I feel I followed my rules.

Outcome Profit/loss RR: TP reached. 2 R Loss (64pips).

Aud/Nzd short
Signal: 2-12-2016 short
Signal time: 3:00 GMT
Triggered 5:00 GMT

SL: 30pip

What I learned from the trade is: Don't trade on Friday's when NFP News is scheduled. I've already established not to take trades late afternoons- evenings on Friday's but even better that I don't trade at all on NFP day.

I stopped the trade out at a 5 pips Loss as I did not want to carry it over the weekend, maybe if I traded it on a HTF that it would be ok I think.

Outcome Profit/loss RR: 5pip
