T20 results

11x TP 2% = 22%
3x BE 0%
6x SL -1% =-6%

Total = +16%

Averages:

55% chance of TP
15% chance of BE
30% chance of Rent

DS score= 19/20 : Very good discipline, have to maintain it next time or make the rules stricter. =)


Technical analisys: Only caught this two issues:
There were two rents where the channel was sideways, should have filtered them?
On last trade got lucky to achieve profit, due to bad technical analysis I caught a wave 1 instead of the 5 of 5, it shows the hunt is powerful and the inbuilt filters do most of the job.

Changes to plan: I only added a little buffer to break even with the new ATM feature to fight slippage, ill report the changes due to it on this next T20 run.
Reminder to keep and eye on channel angle and keep trying to grab only the best signals.

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.

16% return from 20 trades is a very good performance. It means for risking 1% you get 0.8% return every time you try

I would be interested to see the context of time added to this, eg how many days it involved for you to make the 20 tries.

Also of course allowance might need to be made for slippage, as not all stops get taken out at the exact price put into the orders, although you might be able to say the effect was neutral.

If you keep going at this rate you will have a good year.
I wish more people would come on here to share something on their journals

This was from 16 December to 12 January, almost a month trading around 3 hours during NEO, 13~16pm GMT I take 1 or 2 trades per day, max 3, but it did caught the holiday season so I can estimate 2/3 weeks outside of holidays to make 20 trades, I could take a lot more but I am focusing on quality and picking the best of the best.
