Going to have to keep this up to date better, going back and doing them in a batch is really time consuming

Hey Alina

Good to see you are keeping your journal. I will have a deeper look at your trades one of these days and probably rip apart a few if you don't mind but first I have to do @smashin's journal. 6.16% for BATCH 1 is not a bad score at all.. keep going

Hi Immy,
I kept trading but not putting up my journals. The tide turned and I stopped until I had recorded all of the trades that I had done so that I could analyse them. I have been using Trello to record so am going to transfer them over here.

One thing I am unclear on is the number of bars in waves 3-4 to see before setup 1. I have been going over the videos and you have said a variation of numbers in different videos from 100-140 noted in the Elliot Wave book to 40-90 in one video and 50-100 in another. I am sure there is a nuance that has been missed. If you could clarify that I would be grateful.

I love the new layout in the training area. It is so easy to navigate now. Thank you for taking the time to fix that.

Also, I would be happy for your comment on my trades. I am aware that I will be making many novice mistakes.

Cheers
Alina

6. Comments and Trades After Exiting the Trade: Looking back, this was not a great trade to take Purple line was in the box at the signal and the market travelled up quite a few bars before making a fresh Aims level.
