 I know what you going to ssay Immy...
These trades are NOT good. 
I took a risk and this time i was rewarded. 
Still KNOW that they are very iffy ones.
UJ.
Trade 7
What i see. On H1 we have a bearcandle marked with a 2. On m5 i can see that the trendline is broken and i have a movement down and a Nr 2.
I place a PO below the 2 and just waiting.
I have had so many loosers recentry that i am more suprised to get a winner than i am having looser.
It was a BE. Commission lost.The idea that this trade is based on is not a stupid idea, but i must say that it was a little too much of hope involved.And entrycandle  too big.

FORECAST AND PREP
 NEWS 13:45 EUR red news, 14:30 RED EUR and USD news
 D1 Up, but with alot to the left.
 H1 Range
 M5 very clear range.
From FO down
As long at the prive is inside this range, spread is going to be too big to trade.

I want the range to be broken.

Problem then, H1 range.
THOUGHTS AND TRADES
The issue i am having today is that i dont want to loose %´s on my challenge account.
I have to remain calm and objective.
First and foremost i have to se a moving market.
DAX tried to break the range low. Did not make it so now price is inside the premarket area and also inside the range that already exists on H1.
An impuls to the upside is happening but as its still inside the premarket range i am ignoring it,DAX is now looking promising. Went below LO openline but we still have another level to look out for. No trade ths morning on DAX.
Thursday LO.png
 FOREX,
Saw that EU and GU was on the move to the upside. I Saw that they both could set up.  

TRADE 9
So i took half a risk on EU on a 3 candle pullback. There was enough room to the next level to be aware of.
EU is BE now . Out be. Good setup, context a bit bad.
Thursday EU M5.png
 
Thursday EU H1.png
 GU did not had that TC i was looking for so letting that one go.

NEONasdaq is now at ATH.
The question is… will it drop or go higher up… 

TRADE 10
Also watching EU. Printed a H1 TC outside the range. Waiting on M5 for a setup.
In on EU with 0.5 risk… Wass 1 % risk and it hit 2 R so I am up 2 % wiiie.
Thursday TRADE 10 EU M5.png
 
Thursday TRADE 10 EU H1 .png
 

Nas has now broken the upper range, but we will see. Did not happen…
Thursday NEO.png
 

i am done for today.

I can see why you caught EU... You did not just find it after a casual look. you are hogging it. As in your were properly interested in it. You took the first trade when there was nothing going on on the h1, which would be a BAD trade though the picture on m5 was good.
Do not even drop to m5, before you see the RIGHT context on h1. In the long run, the first EU trade will hurt you. Very well done on the 2nd trade. I filtered it but I was wrong.

OCTOBER REVIEW

Unread post by eaxh »

Result profit +5,71%

Ds score 74%

Winrate 46%
 Winrate is a bit low…. I had a loosing streak. Because i was scared.. missed very good signals. And taking less good ones.
 I am working very hard to fully grasp the ”what is my setup”.

I am putting alot of pressure on myself and i have a hard time to forgive myself for making mistakes, which just make it harder.

Being in a challenge does now make me wossy less. It is SOO DAAMN HARD to be objective.

And this challenge is very important for me so its not wierd for me that i have these emotions.

The thing is that i have to just look at the setups. Not my equity, not how many %´s i have left etc… because this is ruin my mindset.
I can do 20% mistakes and still make it. Its just human to make mistakes.

I have my riskmanagement o not get destroyed by my mistakes.



 So basically what i need to do more of is just trade the signals and i need to worry less.

And how to o that?

I can look at my journey. Have i been 100% disciplined? NO

Have i been in a huge drawdown? NO

Have i been overall profitable? YES

 And knowing that makes it easier. Its just to trade. I have an EDGE. And it will be even better results if i worry less.What i have been doing good is that i am disciplined when it comes to managing trades and risk.


I will to continue doing so 😊

I usually think of myself as a person that have problem with folowing rules and i tend to look more of what i did do wrong. 

I will have to focus on what i did wrong of course but to know what not to do. Not because i have to dig down in the shame. 

October has been up and down... 
November i coming and i cant wait  :D
  :D
  :D

FORECAST AND PREP
 NEWS 15:00 USD red news
 D1 UP
 H1 UP Very near a level.
 M5 UP
 From FO NEUTRAL
 
 THOUGHTS AND TRADES
 I have no setups yet.

Right now the price is at a resistance. I dont want to trade into it. I need it to break or fall from it. Then i can place a trade,
It broke to the upside so i am now waiting for a retest.

 TRADE 1
I placed a trade. Was scared and a bi iffy… But it was moving and it signaled so i was in.
Closed it a bit early. About 1,8%. Ds1

 
01.11.2021_10.09.13_REC.png
 Now M5 is far far up there so i am waiting for a reset of price. Like a s1 on 1 and then a continuation of price. Wont touch it untill then.No more trade at LO.

 NEO.
 NASDAQ
 On D1 its up. H1 RANGE. M5 down, but inside the H1 range.
 Nas is opening to the downside. Have a very big range candle as first candle on M1. After that another one that brakes to the downside and i am waiting for a pullback now.A 20 pips red one on nas. Filtering. Too big, Another one that its to big. And the avereges is no longer to the downside. 
Trade 2
Nas is at the range low. Tried to break to the downside, did not shoot up, it did a pullback instead so i went short.

And i hit my challengetarget .
Wiiiie!

FORECAST AND PREP
 NEWS 13:15 ADP, 15:00 ISM services PMI, 19:00 FOMC and federal fundsrate and 19:50 FOMC press conference.
 D1 Up, very near alot of highs.
 H1 UP
 M5 RANGE
 From FO neutral
 THOUGHTS AND TRADES

 I am not doing anything untill the M5 range is broken.30 min in the session and dax is still in the same range.
Could be because of all the news coming later today.Absolutley nothing on DAXY this morning.
Wednesday no trade LO.png
 
 NASDAQ
H1 is in a very tiht range.
I am waiting for it to be broken..
 Nasdaq is outside the levels….

 TRADE 6
 i am looking for a sell signal. A 2 is printed and i am hitting the sell button.
I am feeling a bit.. like a very little bit nervous.
Its a Ds1 and i am managing it accordingly.Rented. NEXT.
Wednesday Trade 6.png
 
 I now have one trade left. Lets see what happens.NAs is sideways for now…




FOREXEU is looking promising but not ready. I am waiting for the H1 candle to close and then i will watch it on M5 if it has closed outside the range. It did not. Lated it cleared the levels to the left but did not give me a signal.
 

TRADE 4
 Gu printed a Trendcandle outside the range on H1.
a little later there was a 2,3 candle pullback. I tried it. Lets see what happens
My feeling about it is that it will fail.
I have had too much winners lately.
Every moment in the market is unique.

It is a Ds1, i dont need to feel things about the seup.. just let it play out.During the trade i feel calm.

One thing about this one is that i need to look at more levels... could have been avoided. but the signal was valid.
Wednesday Trade 4 GU M5.png
 
Wednesday Trade 4 GU H1.png
 

 
EU is now moving, i am watching it.

TRADE 5

EU H1
cleared the levelt to the left. A signal showed on M5.
I am forcing myself to not be so darn pedantic about every setup. So i took it. What i dont like about it is the wicks.Soon news so am i smoked?.........

FORECAST AND PREP
 NEWS At 13:00 RED GBP NEWS. OPEC meetings all day long. 14:00 Red GBP NEWS.
 D1 Up. Opened above ATH
 H1 UP
 M5 Hard to say, below the open but come from an bullish phase so could be a selloff at the ATH.

  About this day.
Because it is OPEC we can either see a completely dead market or a moving market. Because market hit ATH we might see a selloff and if that happens it will be a fun bear day. We will see.
I have my setup and i will trade it.

  THOUGHTS AND TRADES

 Dags opens and stayes inside the premarket range.
I have the high and low marked and i wont trade untill it brokes with opower and retests or make a pullback outside the range
 DAX broke the range to the downside. Made a pullback so i took it. BE. NEXT
Thursday LO.png
 FOREX

GU had a setup to the downside. There was a level that i ignored. I saw it as an inner level…. Not good
RENt. NEXT
Thursday trade 8 GU H1.png
 
Thursday trade 8 GU M5.png
 

What i have to take with me from this is that this strategy is. WAIT for a trendcandle and THEN look for setups. Dont just trade the M5. That is not the strategy.GU goes below the level and is setting up for a retest. I will trade it if it is a setup.
Trade
Was a BE. I had a tight SL to BE and today it was the result of BE. 
Thursday trade 9 GU H1 .png
 
Thursday trade 9 GU M5.png
 

UJ H1 BEAR TC. Down to M5 and there is a setup. T is a clean 3 candle pullback and i am setting a PO below the 3rd candle.. Was not triggered. 

 NEO

 I placed a trade on Us30…  I am not supposed to do that….
Ds0 and i am not trading anymore today….I have traded very bad today.
Thursday Trade 10.png
  X_X
  :nailbite
  :wits
 

IT IS HARD TO BE IN I CHALLENGE!!!!!

I am dissapointed with myself today.
