4. Signal Type / Direction :  Push and pullback towards 20 ema.

5. Questions Before Trade is Taken:
a) How do I feel before setting the order? Big hesitation
b) Intuitive Signal?  neutralc) Is this technically a Setup ?
yes. There was a momentum push and a pullback. One tought i had was that m5 was stretched, but at the same time tZ1 was not hit, based on the thought that M1 had a S1 pattern.
So when there was an bullish outsidecandle on m1 i was in. Got in a bit late so got scared and put the Sl at -0,5 R rather quick.
  
6. Post Trade Questions: 
a) How Do I feel after closing the trade?
Good, i was lucky that it did not touch my sl before it went up.
b) Have I done well and why? yes, i took the signal and held on to it. I also changed the TP to 1,5 R wich was just right below Tz1.
c) Have done badly and Why? 
d) What Could I have done differently?

Batch 5.xlsx

 This batch has been like all the batches. I have learned alot.I have taken some trades that i am not proud of. But i think the most importat lesson this batch is all the trades i have missed.
Due to hesitation and lack of self-confidence but also some technical problems.

I have experienced my first real drawdown. it was tought mentally. But i got through it 
 I have had a very hard time with my mindset this batch. I havent been feeling confident about my knowledge and i have been feeling insecure.I am working on that everyday and i can say that it is getting better.

What i have done good is that i have just continued. I havent searched for another solution. I did have that thought when i was feeling frustrated but i was quick to pull myself in the right direction. I am going to be a master of pullbacks and the only way i can become that is to continue and continue.

I start to see the market different. I am doing ALL i can to be in the zone and not be afraid of loosing och being proven wrong.I have also had some trades that went to 1,9 and 1,7 R and then reversed and ended BE.
I am going from now on forward be okey to take profits between 1,5 and 2 R.

I will focus on extracting more profits from the market.
 And i will also TAKE THE TRADES.
 I want to get rid of my hesitation completely.
 So i welcone batch 6 with a little bigger and better awereness and perspective on myself and on the market.

Had some problems with ATM today as well. It worked perfectly fine at first and then it just not set the orders.

Have now installed it again so hopefully it will work now.
