Batch 3

Trade 04

Eur/Usd D1 Watlz
Good signal, strong trend candle, smaller seed at bottom. Passing BE, I took half out after the 2R target and let the rest ride.

End result was +3.1R

R result to date for this batch: +5.77R

DS score for batch: 3/4

My Feelings and Analysis at the time of entry and afterwards: - Taking half off gave me profit and then let the rest run to see if more was possible.

What could I have done different? Good trade. This worked well, these are the ones to look for. I notice it is now doing the next push, I wonder where it will end.

I'd not have taken this as setup 1 firstly but if I did, I'd be out way back on the 23rd of July. The box was HUGE in the first place Wave 3 had a clear divergence , Wave 4 was no where near flat , it was push up, pull down....

Thanks Immy, yes I agree. I was watching it, waiting or should I say hoping it was going to change and come back in my favour, but it wasn't. Cutting my losses earlier would have been better, and moving onto the next one.

I don't know if you understand the value of the work you've done. The overall 16R positive result puts you in the top 10% of the Traders all over the world. I think its fascinating. And its the result of DS Training, Setup 1 and Waltz. Don't take it lightly.

Thanks Immy, this means alot.
It has taken years to get to this point and some times you do forget how far you have come and how many others have dropped off along the way.

I am looking forward to building on this success and now increasing my R value back up after having reduced it low after my horror run of loses.
Exciting times ahead.

Thanks again for your patients and all the learning.
Vicky

Batch 3

Trade 08

Aud/Cad D1 S1
Box was large, PO placed. Once it started heading toward the bottom of the box and entry, I moved my SL to just above the green line.
Trailed candle and got half an R.

End result was +0.5R

R result to date for this batch: +7.4R

DS score for batch: 6/8

Overall total R score: (all batches) +17.4R

My Feelings and Analysis at the time of entry and afterwards: - Box was big, but TZ line was far enough to get to BE.

What could I have done different? Looking at it, waited for that little pause candle near the bottom of the box, once this formed, moved my entry to bar instead of entry for the whole box. This would have made about 4-5R.
