Batch 3
Trade 15
Nzd/Jpy H4 S1
Red dot, bit slow to start, thought I might be out at SL at times, but it made BE and continued on. Then this morning, something spooked the market and out at BE with a big green candle long.
End result was BE
R result to date for this batch: +6.8R
DS score for batch: 12/15
Overall total R score: (all batches) +16.8R
My Feelings and Analysis at the time of entry and afterwards: - I was happy with this entry. good gator, smaller box, wave near zero
What could I have done different? Immy mentioned the wave count, I need to work more on the waves

Batch 3
Trade 17
Usd/Cnh H4
Blue dot, slow and steady, made BE and continued on. I checked this very late our time last night and knew something was happening, it took me out only just, I had my SL below the box to give it room and it just got me! It then sailed on and could have been a +3R+
Chart of H1 shows how close it was I just missed with my SL placement.
End result was +1R
R result to date for this batch: +8.55R
DS score for batch: 14/17
Overall total R score: (all batches) +18.55R
My Feelings and Analysis at the time of entry and afterwards: - Saw the apple then the blue dot followed and I was in.
What could I have done different? Very happy with this trade, what could have been would have been lovely ......

Batch 3
Trade 14
Usd/Sgd H4
Green dot, started falling after my entry. Timing was wrong, just under my SL it turned and started going long.
End result was -1R
R result to date for this batch: +6.8R
DS score for batch: 11/14
Overall total R score: (all batches) +16.8R
My Feelings and Analysis at the time of entry and afterwards: - Green dot, and apple before it, purple correct, box not too big.
What could I have done different? Question, should I have manually exited before it got all the way to my SL?

The wave was all wrong, on review I didn't really feel confident about this entry from the start, I should not have been taken

Re: Vicky's Journals
The trade setup was really good. a. if trailing boxes, use 5-10 pips distances as a buffer, and try not to trail, (if possible) boxes that , for uptrend, has a low above the green line. Only trail boxes with a low below the green line. PC happens quiet often and it will get you many times if boxes are trailed too close. but over the longer term, trailing boxes is a really good idea. overall a good trade...vickyp wrote: 24 Aug 2019, 08:08 23/08/2019

Batch 3
Trade 18
Aud/Jpy H4 S1
Red dot, not much doing at the start, then it started to move. The real move coming with the help of Trumps trade war tweets. Down she went.
End result was +2.5R
R result to date for this batch: +11.05R
DS score for batch: 14/18 DS not changed due to correction on Usd/Sgd
Overall total R score: (all batches) +21.05R
My Feelings and Analysis at the time of entry and afterwards: - PO placed, took awhile to start, what a surprise in the morning to see this had dropped so much and out at TP with a nice little profit.
What could I have done different? Very happy with this trade, if I had my TP all the way down at the TZ line it could have done even better!

Re: Vicky's Journals
I just realised it is nearly 2 years to the day since I joined AIMS!
What a learning curve it has been.
All the ups and downs have been worth it.
I feel I have made small steps forward and look forward to bigger steps ahead.
Thanks Immy and all for your help and support.

I can see a big difference. From the time when you had no idea what a setup 1 was to this day. It took time but you're there now. You've learned to ride a bike, nobody can take this skill away from you. well done... time to MAKE MONEY now...
