Batch 2

Trade 10
Gbp/Nzd D1

Doji formed after large candle. Trade placed H1 showed S1

End result was -1R

R result to date for this batch: +0.33R

DS score for batch: 6/10

Overall total R score: (all batches) +14.13R

My Feelings and Analysis at the time of entry and afterwards: - Doji formed, H1 showed S1. W5 ended up being a very small wave. Out at SL

What could I have done different? Don't take the doji.

Mid way review.
After the first 10 trades for this batch, and as Immy pointed out jumping about with different time frames.
I have had a step forward and then a step back. Currently at 0R.

What have I acheived so far - I can spot S1, I see many of them. But I seem to get very few. Mostly due to not being here for LO and limiting myself to D1 now.
D1 - I have a good run then it gets undone by a run of losses. Mostly due to me making mistakes ie. taking the doji and one that was not a true trigger candle.

This trading game can be frustrating, I have two options, give up or keep going.
I choose to keep going and hope the break comes soon.

Batch 2

Trade 11
Eur/Jpy D1
Seed formed. 2nd pause candle. Changed direction out at SL.

End result was -1R

R result to date for this batch: -0.67R

DS score for batch: 7/11

Overall total R score: (all batches) +13.13R

My Feelings and Analysis at the time of entry and afterwards: - Nice small seed, didn't continue downward trend. Out at SL

What could I have done different? Maybe the seed should have been lower toward the bottom of the wick rather than half way up the previous candle.
