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.

This is NOT a good setu p1. Wave 3 is not strong enough, Wave 4 is too wide (range from top to bottom) and too long (from left to right)... just not good setup 1. nope.

Well there we have it, the end of the second batch.
DS score was 75% so happy with that.
Overall a losing batch so room for inprovement on this.

Still searching for the missing link to help it all fall into place. Lets hope batch 3 has some answers.

Batch 3

Trade 01

Gbp/Nzd D1 Waltz
2 Pause candles spotted, entry. This ran well from the start. After discussions with Immy it was decided to trail this one and see where it went.
I got knocked out as it just went above the latest box I was trailing

End result was 2.6R

R result to date for this batch: +2.67R

DS score for batch: 1/1

Overall total R score: (all batches) +12.7R

My Feelings and Analysis at the time of entry and afterwards: - After being in this for a while, it was exciting to think that this could continue to run. Also good to trail the boxes and see how this works.

What could I have done different? Happy with this trade.

Batch 3

Trade 02

Nzd/Jpy H4
Open gator, blue dot. W5.

End result was BE

R result to date for this batch: +2.67R

DS score for batch: 1/2

Overall total R score: (all batches) +12.7R

My Feelings and Analysis at the time of entry and afterwards: - Blue dot and cherry with open gator. W5 was in play and peak at time of taking this.

What could I have done different? Happy with this trade. Entry a bit later, the blue dot before at S1 would have been better.
