18/6/19
Batch 1
Trade 19
Cad/Jpy D1 Waltz
Good small seed signal. Was going well to BE, then news and a bounce.
End result was BE
R result to date for this batch: +7R
DS score for batch: 11/19
Overall total R score: (all batches) +15.5R
My Feelings and Analysis at the time of entry and afterwards: - I was happy with this entry, it was traveling well. Then news moved it in the opposite direction.
What could I have done different: I was going to say there was nothing for this one, but maybe this is my next step to learn to then re enter in the opposite direction when the trend changes and takes off so well.

Re: Vicky's Journals
Review of Batch 1 D1
Overall I am happy with this batch. my DS score is a bit low, but I have been taking a hard line on how I score and also being the first batch with a new system the first few were going to effect my overall DS score.
To end with a +6R result is a good step in the right direction again.
I enjoy that this system works well with my crazy lifestyle at present, being able to check charts before heading to work has taken some pressure off.
I am looking forward to improvement and the outcome of batch 2.
Thanks to Immy for his imput, training and most of all amazing patients.
Thanks Jasmien, Merry and all for the help and guidence with this new system.

Re: Vicky's Journals
I see a bigger proportion of people being successful the higher the time frame they trade. This is a Testament to that. Such a crazy simple method?. one line, and candles. nothing else.vickyp wrote: 20 Jun 2019, 14:57 Review of Batch 1 D1

The Consistent Pursuit of DS1
The thing that makes me money in trading is when I "Objectively Follow my Trading Plan".
I understand that I can't catch all the moves or all the signals but my objective is to catch THE VALID SIGNALS & ONLY the Valid Signals.

Re: Vicky's Journals
Try Running some of these with the Black Line this batch. Or close half or more at 2R or so and let it run trailing close of black linevickyp wrote: 13 Jun 2019, 13:14 13/6/19
Batch 1
Trade 17
Aud/Jpy D1
Trigger candle, Doji. slow and steady on this one.
End result was 1.5R
R result to date for this batch: +7R
DS score for batch: 10/17
Overall total R score: (all batches) +15.5R
My Feelings and Analysis at the time of entry and afterwards: - Initally concern to take too Aud pairs at the same time, but the signal was strong and a doji. 1.5R TP was good on this one, it has slowed near the box low to the left.
What could I have done different: Overall I was happy with this trade.

US2000 D1 Waltz
Good small seed signal. to BE quickly, then bounce and out at BE
End result was BE
R result to date for this batch: 0R
DS score for batch: 1/1
Overall total R score: (all batches) +14.5R
My Feelings and Analysis at the time of entry and afterwards: - Nice small seed, strong trigger candle. Happy with this trade, but didn't reach target.
What could I have done different: The drop that took me out was overnight, so I didn't get to see this one. Next ....

Re: Vicky's Journals

Batch 2
Trade 2
Aud/Nzd D1
Good small seed signal. Took off well, just short of BE before it bounced
End result was -1R
R result to date for this batch: -1R
DS score for batch: 1/2
Overall total R score: (all batches) +13.5R
My Feelings and Analysis at the time of entry and afterwards: - Seed formed. On reviewing I am thinking the trigger candle could have been stronger. H1 was a good Set up it dropped out of sideways, on H1 would have got to BE and possible 1.5R. Earlier entry on D1 would still not have got to BE for me.
What could I have done different: Immy would the long wicks to the bottom all at a similar level have been an indication to leave it and see what happened next?

Batch 2
Trade 3
Usd/Cad H1
I saw the seed on D1 in the morning but it was too large for my rules. later arvo the setup on H1 looked better. (also mentioned on Slack) PO on, after filling it took awhile to go anywhere. I even thought I would be out at one point. Finally making BE and then out at BE over night.
End result was BE
R result to date for this batch: -1R
DS score for batch: 2/3
Overall total R score: (all batches) +13.5R
My Feelings and Analysis at the time of entry and afterwards: - I was sure this one was going to reach TP after it started running, but it bounced soon after the push down.
What could I have done different: Its been in a sideways state for awhile. Next ...

Re: Vicky's Journals

Batch 2
Trade 4
Usd/Jpy D1 Waltz
Seed showing, PO on. Once it started moving BE quickly. Then at night it started to bounce. I decided to take a third off via ATM and let the rest run overnight. On review in the morning the rest has been taken out at BE,
End result was .33R and remainder BE
R result to date for this batch: -.67R
DS score for batch: 3/4
Overall total R score: (all batches) +13.8R
My Feelings and Analysis at the time of entry and afterwards: - This one was running strong once it got started, just shows you don't know where they will end. Was very surprised to wake and see it hadn't done a 2R!
What could I have done different: I was pleased I had taken the third, next time I will do the half out and let it run.
