I cringe at the sight of this ... missing the perfect setup because of a technicality. Oh well... nice 2R that we will never get back. But plenty more to come in future.

Today it started with a break to the upside, but is quickly back at LO. I
'll wait and see what happens. very large wicks on the M5.

After a while, it breaks up to the upside, but is a little lack of momentum, creates a small pause (line 1) inserted a PO above the fake out candle. Keeps bringing a pullback but ends too deep for me to take it as a pullback. ( line 2)
After that there is no structure and I am waiting for a new break somewhere. 

After that i realise that my account is not working properly..... 
Will be back tomorrow.

Batch 5 Trade 5

Unread post by eaxh »

I always start the day by checking H1, it was in an uptrend, but also made ATH during the night so i did not really have a bias today. 

When at LO- it tried to go lower and failed, went back into premarket area and i thought... well this is going to be one of those booring days when it is stuck. 

But then.. it made a huge bullish candle, went over the FO and made a pullback between Fo and ATH so anothet test on that level again was probable. Trade Number:

4. Signal Type / Direction :  Pullback entry long

5. Questions Before Trade is Taken:

a) How do I feel before setting the order? A little nervous.
b) Intuitive Signal?  neutral
c) Is this technically The Setup ?
yes it is a clean pullback with a bounce of FO. Clean Priceaction. It had reacted to the ATH, but the 2 R target were at that level so it was a goos chance it would test it again.

6. Post Trade Questions: 

a) How Do I feel after closing the trade? Good
b) Have I done well and why? Yes, i traded the signal and managed my emotions to take the signal and let it get to 2R.
c) Have done badly and Why?  
d) What Could I have done differently?
