The Story So Far 

The market opened with a Clear uptrend. 

All I had to do was wait for a setup ... 

Found one that broke out and Restest the highs... I got in ... 6 minutes later 2R (2.1% ) banked.

Saw that GU was in a  trading range 

Posted the analysis screenshot in the Discord group earlier 

Then I set an alert 2 pips below the range low

The alert went off at around the last 10 minutes of the first hour of LO. 8.50 am UK. 

I dropped to m5 to see what's going on.

I then saw price interacting with the lows. 

that gave me the idea to check m1. 

and found this setup ... before I knew it I was in. 

Unfortunately, ATM calculated lot size based on 100 pips. don't know why.

The more I look at the M5 chart the more I fall in love with it. The temperament of M5 is also very good.

The 5-minute time frame allows you to switch to another chart for a minute or two. You can follow 3 markets easily.
e..g EU GU DAX during LO and perhaps US100, US30 and UJ or USDCAD during US session
or
keep 6 charts EU GU UJ DAX DOW NAS on h1 and drop to m5 when you see CLEAR moves. 

If you fall victim to making mistakes, rash decisions, feel rushed due to the speed of m1, then consider trading the 5 minute chart instead. 

HEre is DAX M5 today

I share my trades, analysis, and trading techniques so that the members of this small community can benefit in some way.

However, I also want to see some interaction and back and forth replies to my topics and posts. 

I wonder if I'm doing something wrong? 

I think that because ...
I hardly get any reply. 

Does it mean that nobody likes this content?  (we can track that if people hit Like button or even better reply to the posts) 
Does it mean nobody views this content? (we can track that) 
Does it mean it has no value for most here?  (comment if you agree/disagree) 

Please let me know if you're reading this, what can I do to improve. I'd love to have interactions with others> moreover, I'd love to see others interacting with each other. 

I will continue no matter, as it helps me become a better trader but I can do it privately if there is no public interest. 

Cheers

I am reading this and find it enormously useful! I like to see your thought process and the way you annotate your charts does get that thought process across. 

When I take a trade I will be adding it to my journal, I just haven't taken very many recently.
