Hey Emma

Hope you had a good weekend

Interesting stats ... I notice that if you had not taken the 2 DS0 trades (not that anyone will be able to maintain a 100% DS ever) ... the win rate is 90%.  
Total DS1 Trades: 9
Total Winners 3 (33%)
Total BE Trades: 5 (55%)
1 Loser  (11%) 

Nice

See ya tomorrow

 Respect the phases and trade the signals.
If inside the range, do not trade.

 THOUGHTS AND TRADES

 Dags Stayed inside the range the first 10 min. After that is set up, but after hittingg the highs so i am waiting for the levels to be cleared before consider trading it.

 At 10:16 price goes above the range. I am watching it for a pullback to the upside.
If there is a signal i willl take it.Signal happened but the signal was not triggered and then the price was inside the range again.

Tuesday.png
 THOUGHTS AND TRADES

 I filtered the initial move on dags due to big spread. Then i am just waiting.TRADE 5
Placed a trade on DAX when it finally went above the H1 range. It was rented right away… was feeling like i wasted a trade on that thin market.


 FOREX

 Gu is in an overall uptrend.

During the morning the move goes up above the resent peak and i drop down to M5 to see if we have a retest of the previous level.
 Gu was flying up and did not give me a signal. Hit a longer term S/R level and went down instead.

So off GU.


 Trade 6


 EU had a H1 trend candele that closed below the levels to the left.I zoomed in on M5 and was THE PERFECT hunt signal. So po in and sl was brought to be quick.
Winner +2 R

 TRADE 7
 Ds1
 I see that EU has hit a level below and them makes a good TC to the upside suggesting that the move to the upside is going to continue. Drop down to M5 and sees a clean 3 candle pullback with a confirmation candle.

Wednesday Trade 11 and 12 on dax.png
  FOREX.GU is moving out from its tight H1range.
I drop down to M5 to see it i can get anything.
I se a break and retest but the signal candle is way to big.

  TRADE 10UJ is above the range and made a blue 1 so i went long on it. Break and retest. Not the best looking one but its a signal.I am feeling a fear of losing money. I dont want to have a negative balance on my challenge account. I start to secondguess the signal. Saying things to myself like… is this a even a signal… do you know what you are doing?
 I managed it a bit different so DS0.

Hi Emma - Great trades as usual!   :bow
 
I have a question - Do you add a buffer to the pending order on EU or is the order placed at exactly the low of the previous candle. For example your trade on EU today looks like it was taken at the low of the previous candle, not the low minus 1 pip? It also looks like the SL is at the exact high of the previous candle. 

Just curious! :)
