Emma´s T20 Journal

[Dave]

Hi Emma,

I took the same entry and exit and consider it valid. Even though it didn’t work out this time!

M1: open gator, AIMS boxes stepping up (higher highs and higher lows), AIMS wave showing increasing momentum.
S12: sleeping gator, AIMS boxes stepping down or sideways (pullback or pause), close to ZL (start of new wave).

Ticks all the boxes!

2. Date/Time: 18/9-2020 8:47
3. Symbol/TF: GER30/ S12
4. Signal Type / Direction : Setup 1 Buy

5. Decision making:
Very tight box, sleeping gator , close to zeroline. Impulswave and a pullback within 40-96 candels.
Placed PO
6.Feelings during the trade:
Its a Ds1 and i should not make it a ds0 by closing it or move stoploss och target.
It´s very tempting though.
7.Comments After Exiting the Trade: It was a Ds1. Should i have taken it if i didnt do the t20?. No because it was most probably the end of wave 4 on m1.
This is what i have a problem with.

Should i take trade like this when my mind screames dont do it! because it is according to the T20 rules. Impuls,pullback, ctzl, Sleeeping gator and tight box.
It is this that is the thing you should accieve of T20? To just do what the rules says? Even if i know more and most probably would filtered this if it was a live account?


8. DS For this Trade: 1 ( re-evaluate this trade to DS0) It was my wantingtotrade-mind who made an error.
9. DS Running Total: 3/4 (75% )

Hi Emma,

How do you consider M1 when taking these S12 entries?
What are the higher timeframe conditions you’re looking for?

I see your point. It was not completley closed(the aligator). But now
afterwards it was problably kind of closed.

That the gator is Open in the direction of the setup.

This is one of my favourite pictures for what we want to see on the higher timeframe. It’s an Immy picture from many years ago.
Open alligator
Push, step, push, step
AIMSwave correct and rising

Thank you for postning and helping me see it more clear.

I can clearly see the difference.
I should have listened to my first feeling that was not to take it

[Dave]

Thank you, and sorry for jumping into your journal!

This must have been a fantastic monday for you Aimsters who trade Dax30!

For me in my T20 I found 1 setup according to the rules. A Ds1 so i had a fantastic learningday.

But i also traded in my mind to practice marketstructure and it was a fantastic LO.

1. Trade Number: Batch 2 trade 5
2. Date/Time: 18/9-2020 8:20
3. Symbol/TF: GER30/ S12
4. Signal Type / Direction : Setup 1 Sell

5. Decision making:
Tight box, sleeping gator , close to zeroline. Impulswave and a little pullback. Red dot.
Also noticed a divercence, but as its not a part of my T20 Rules And the momentum on M1 And M5 Was still good and gator open to the same side as the setup. So placed a Pending order.
6.Feelings during the trade:
Confident and stressfree
7.Comments After Exiting the Trade:
Proud and releifed to finally have a winning trade in my second Batch.
