So during the weekend i have been simplify, objectify and made a waterproof plan. 

I am risking 0,25 this week as well to decrease the fear of losing. 
Update - I am not moving sl to 1R at 2R. Simple it is. i dont even need to look at the trade if i dont feel like it. Intervene-proof

5. Comments and Feelings at the Time of Taking The Trade:
This was a good one. It was an impuls and a correct pullback.
I had a timy hesitation that was based on the winner i had first.
What i need to look at there and then is ”its a Ds1”

5. Comments and Feelings at the Time of Taking The Trade:
This was harder to put on.
The isolated pullback is a Ds1 and its correct during my checklist.
It could have been filtered based on the levels to the left.
But it was clean. I just enter to quick. The overall analysis was correct.

4. Signal Type / Direction :  2 legged pullback with a confirmation banana. short
5. Comments and Feelings at the Time of Taking The Trade:
I was a bit hesitant. But as i am not trying to be hesitandt i took it. It was a break of a Tall TR, and then a retest in form of a 2 legged pullback.
(Was not clean as i want it to be. The impuls was messy)

5. Comments and Feelings at the Time of Taking The Trade:
It has been slow all morning. I had a rent which cased a bit of fear inside of me.
i saw dax moving up slow. And then it was a CLEAN BO to the upside followed by a 3 candle pullback.
This is my trade.
I could not watch it play out. I had done what i needed to, to take the setup.

My first trade was done and the indices started to pull back. Dow looked clean and i went short on a bananasignal.
It was just a couple of pips from the target.
Anyway, a Ds1 and that is my job done.

I placed one trade on NAS this morning. 

I saw that there was a level to the left. When market made an impuls from that level and then a pullback with evverything correct i had to place a PO.
It was rented.

RESULT.png

Ds score 95%
resultat +2R
Winrate 50% 

A high Ds score and a bit low winrate and profits. Why is that?
The setups taken are valid, all are cute. The context of 1 or 2 trades might not be ideal. Some was tagged put BE due to slippage and then hit 3R like a joke.
All in all i would say it is a good batch. I have stopped my DD and are now on the way up.
I have taken away the 1C seeds and focused on 2-3 candle pullbacks and i can see now that is works for me. I need to specialize and narrow down to one entry and this is my entry. I know this one.

In this batch i lowered my size in half and i can see now that i am not afraid of putting on a trade.
The minisize is gone now. I am going n with 0,5% next batch.This batch proves to me that if i focus on the setup and just take the cute ones, i am a winner in the long run.Tomorrow my 2nd batch starts and i dont need to change anything.
