looks like the overall result was +ve. There were many pips available today, we dont have to catch them all though, but even if the volatility can get scary this is when the system delivers..........

it is! but I am still to anxious, and to much influenced by the I past. To focused on not loosing and that prevents me from winning.
1% a day, that would be nice. I would even settle for 0.5%

Tuesday's NEO should have been a success, but I chickened out. No discipline to follow the rules and trade a perfect trade with all the right signals at the right places to make for a nice easy trade.
It started like so many times before with trying to go in one direction, this time short to often on signals that were not really worth taking. Afraid to miss out. When the right short signal finally came I had to restart my platform. Bad luck, but it still could have been a successful day if I had just followed the rules. It was all there for the taking!!! My actions at the start of the session influenced my trade management in the last trade.

Today's NEO started with a Breakout Long SARd the trade on the Fruit and went short with one add on, should have relied on the market really being willing to correct now after that push up to 11500, but as it is I trailed my SL into wave 4 and got kicked out before it went down. Finished the day with a nice long trade that I closed after it spiked up to 11500.

Gregor,
last campaign was great!!!
That short campaign 410 with fruit entry and add on was great as well. I know it can be tough to stand pressure during stage 2. If SL and boxes are not too big, to me, in stage 2 trailing AIMS box is a rather good compromise between giving trade enough room (SL above signal fruit bar) and cutting losses too much (closing above gator or by trailing candles or at candle in opposite direction).
IMHO )

Cheers
Michael

Hi Michael,

thanks for your comment, always appreciated. On a lot trades over the last week I have seen it shoot up after that down movement into wave 4, but I didn't take into account the slightly different situation with the market turning around after touching 11500 and pulling away from the gator nicely. Those two factors should have given me more confidence to trail the Aimsbox as you said.

Cheers, Gregor

Thursday's NEO served everything one could wish for in the first half hour. Got into the short, but was to slow to squeeze an add on in. At this point I thought about just taking my winnings and turn of the computer, but of course I didn't. Then tried the AA Fruit short. Should have trailed the candles instead of letting it go against me all the way. Tried a few more Breakouts instead of recognizing that the market was consolidating after that up and down. Again trading just Fruits from this point on would have kept me out of trouble and given me more pips in the last trade. Ended the day with a profit, but less trading would have been more today.

On second thought I have to say I actually lost today, because apart from that first lucky push down I didn't really accomplish anything. It would have been my job to protect that profit and not enter into dubious trades with the knowledge that I had already made some pips today.

Fridays's NEO started with a Short Fruit into Wave 4. The second Add On was to much risk taken at that point, at the very least, the SL should have been closer. The Breakout long that followed would have been really nice with an Add On and then close it at TZ1 or trailing candles. Thought about the Breakout Short which happened as zero line was crossed, but didn't take it because I keept thinking about yesterdays sideways market. Tired the Fruit long which pulled away from the gator nicely. Again SL should have been closer going into that wave 4. The day ended with small rent for me, but doing it right should have returned some 100 pips.

Today's NEO provided me with a nice Breakout Long. Got in at the old AimsLevel after it pulled back and closed it near the top of the movement after it pushed up nicely. One Add On would have done the trick, but I didn't want to take the old AimsLevel as an Add On point and the next new AimsLevel I thought to far away. Tried the AA Fruit long next and kept my SL really close there, as I didn't trust it to push through after that last green bar closed in the lower half. Should have just taken the Breakout Short that followed as the market moved nicely, but didn't and stopped trading way to soon. I still have to find that confidence to keep trading and to add on if it moves nicely and stop as soon as I recognize that it goes sideways. Often I do it just the other way round as I want to get my money back if I lost on the first two or three trades and than get caught up in a sideways market. And often like today I have a nice trade at the beginning and than get to cautious, because I don't want to jeopardize my winnings. Most of the time these are days when much more profit could have been made. Sometimes it's like I am standing on the break. I have to be more aggressive on days like today.

Some pips at Tuesday's NEO, but closed my first trade manually way to early. Thought it might shoot up after that Fruit, but that's trading what I think instead of what I see again. Price was actually parallel to the green line. Next push down would have served me a 100 pips more. Tried the long Fruit after it came down to the same line as a few minutes before. Kept the SL close, as it was into wave 4. Took the following Breakout Short, which maybe should have been closed after in pushed down 30 pips. The next three Fruits would have also been profitable, but I am still not aggressive enough when it moves.
