This have been the most hard YET the one that have been most rewarding.
Story about the batch.
It started in DD, i had a hard time with accepting that i was in DD. I could not face the fact that i had messed up. I was in denaile and just wanted to fast forward to the point were i was going to be out of DD.
I did not see at that point what i was doing wrong.
”I was 8 trades into the batch and just had BE´s and rents and i just could not continue that way.
I started to look back at my journey, from the beginning and i have not been that aweful of a trader that i am now.
Something was needed to happen. I needed to get to the root of the problem and i did.
I was not paying attention to the market as a whole, i had tunnelvision. I just saw the setup without the context. I had to reach the bottom to realise that.The goal i have is just getting more far and far away the harder i try.
What i did and still doing is that i am being present in the NOW. That the only thing we will ever have. I have to appreciate the now to start to achieve the goals and dreams i have.
What i can do today is what i have to focus on.”
By starting to be aware and present in the now gave me the clarity i need to see the market for what it is. I saw the success i had in the beginnng of my trading journey. I knew a fraction about trading relative to what i do now. I saw that the simpleness in the beginning was in my favour.
I added the box and comitted to trade ONLY in break and retest situations and in continuation situations.
LET THE RESULTS SPEAK FOR THEMSELVES

I need to add that i lowered my tradingsize significantly to not lose the funded account.
I am now enjoying and trusting the process.
I will from now on SLOOOOOOOOWLYYYY increase the size and build the account.
well done Emma, difficult hole you were in and you dug yourself out of it. Ace!
thank you for sharing so I can learn from you. Although these things one needs to experience. It helps knowing others have dug themselves out, and how they did that.
Thank you Minsk

Today we have news in the afternoon. Nothing to be aware of at LO.
I had a couple of experiences today when i was close to make an error.
I almost took a signal in the wrong context. A moment of not being aware. I realised it and corrected it.

I placed a trade on dax this morning.
I am finding myself over analysing now.
I can see the internal structure of a channel in the end of the BO.
I can analyse down to the pip and make even tighter parameters but will that help me in the long run. I dont think so.

Hey Emma.
hmmm No Banana Indicator?
Wasn't it the banana that helped you win the challenge?
I'm disappointed. and a bit worried. :worried
But you know what you're doing. I can't trade without this validation system. I know that I will lose my way without my system without my process.
Regards

Hi Immy!
You have the right to feel both disappointed and worried.
For me though.. i have not felt this sure and confident in my tradingprocess as i do now. With the indicator or not.
It is not the indicator itself that made me win the challenge. It is the logic, context and all the work behind it.
All the hours/day and months and even YEARS with your guidence/mentoring/all the education here and my work that made me profitable.
I have developed an skill of seeing the signal without having it. I havent taken all the signals in a long time as i only take confirmation/directional candles so when the license expired i am still doing the same thing.
Its dont that i dont trade the banana strategy. I have not been more in tune with the correct banana signals in the right context that i am right now.
Hopes it makes sense

Brainfart on nas.
no words needed. at that time dax M5 paused and i was looking for a continuation on dax and then i saw that Nas was more cute. The thing is that i did not look at nas m5..

Signal on dax. I pressed buy bar and then it froze..... it freezed for too long so i could not take an entry... next....
Its a next that is hard to swallow. it was one of those wo just WENT.
I could not have done anything different though, there is nothing i can learn from it.
it was out of my controll.
