Emma´s T20 Journal

As per the James Bond film quote.  I am lurking in the shadows… fully aware the shadows are not always the best place to be but also for my own reasons I know why and it’s ok.    Keep going Emma

 

Sam seems to have joined this cult within the cult of AIMS. Enjoy

Today i hit the daily SL. So i stop. 

I saw that dax was bullish on H1. I saw on M5 that it was moving and i took the setups on M1. 
NEXT. 

About the Ds0. I am aware of the uglyness in the impuls. Though established trend, but still a Ds0 as i want them to be clean impulses.

News, CPI.
IT MOVED. Did not take the first pillback on Nas. I see that as climatic. 
M5 pulled pack later and made a bearish TC after it. I went short. I did not feel good about it as it have moved ALOT before it.

News in the afternoon.

I am in a low period. I have a hard time staying motivated when i take rent after rent. 

I should be honest, What i have been doing when these periods happened in the past i found myself looking at charts, spotting different kinds of pullback that worked and tried to look at those too. Or seeing other kinds of price action (different context that consider for the setup).

What that does is that it leads to confusion. 
Last time, which was a coulple of weeks ago i ended in a losingstreak and i did the opposite. I went back to the basics. The original hunt setup. And the result was stunning. Now i am in a losing streak again and i will continue! When i least expect it i have a winning streak again. 

I will not go away from the original path. 

I have my funded account and i will slowly build it up to BE. I always write that it is no rush and it is not. My brain is not always in sync with me and cause a "i have to fix this now" mindset. Like getting back to BE NOW. 
I dont have to do that. I have time.

19.09.2022_11.10.13_REC DAX M5.png

 Today it is JPY and GBP bank holiday 

I am starting the day with looking through the strategy, Watching example. How can HTF look like and how can the CTF look like.
I am feeling a bit overwhelmed at the moment. Scared to make mistakes and have a feeling that its out of my control, Like i am in a downwards spiral.

I am constantly reminding myself of that it is temporary. 

Chart of today , DAX. NAS have too big spread to trade.

I am a very visual person. I need to see things to understand them. 
I always look at pics of what a setup can look like. 
I have forgotten though to see the picture on hte HTF as well. 
HTF is an extremly good base to start with. Aka. the context. 

So i have gathered a sample of HTF and CTF pics to take high probability setups and not get tunnel vision on the current time frame (Trading timeframe)

I have used the 4/5 HTF for this.

1. Down here on the HTF we see a range, a break of that range, a pullback then a strong TC as a continuation. 
    Inside the HTF TC is a good impuls move and a cute little setup. 
2. We see a impuls on the HTF, a pullback and a pullback broken with an TC. Inside it on the CTF we see a setup. I would not have taken it i think as         it is not very cute. but not invalid either 

18.09.2022_12.14.03_REC.png

  Here we have a small break and retest on the HTF. A pullback broken with a TC and in the CTF we see a good impuls and a valid pullback. Second pullback so it is a go. 

18.09.2022_12.15.58_REC.png

 HTF - A impuls leg down, an wedge and that wedge/2 legged pullback is broken with a TC. Inside that a clean and cute setup on CTF. 

18.09.2022_13.42.55_REC.png

 No cute setups in this pic, here i have marked where it is ok to look for a setups. I can also see a HTF pullback in the middle of theese that i have marked. 

18.09.2022_13.47.11_REC.png

 Lets call this one a Double top reversal break on HTF. A small retest is made on the CTF. Though with the wicks there in the setup i would probably not have taken it. But context wise it is a OK one. 

18.09.2022_13.48.55_REC.png

 Here we have an example of a trend change. A HTF pullback in the other direction and a break of the levels to the left with a TC. On the CTF we see an impuls, not ideal but clean. I would probably thought it was a bit too wicky. 

18.09.2022_13.51.12_REC.png

 HTF - A 2 legged pullback, broken with a TC. A setup on the CTF. 

18.09.2022_13.52.33_REC.png

 

 This is just a small sample of all the pics i have in my collection, but they all show the same thing. An HTF pullbach that is broken with a trendcandle. It does not have to be more complicated than that.
