I had a successful morning but it was more of what NOT to do. I played with my charts trying different colour schemes but came back to black background with coloured candles. I did remove SMAs. I tried 1min charts but I've spent my trading experience with 5min candles so stuck with them. The what not to do part of my trading was messing with colour schemes during open trades. Fortunately no adverse events. Anyway I'll post my charts. It did feel good, and I didn't get greedy (except up sizing trade size hhmm). Finished for the day.
I traded EU and UJ this am, without the SMAs I think I was clearer headed noting SR. I love using my TL too.
I came within a few dollars of the $1k starting point of my account. The one smart thing I did do today was NOT actively pursue it at the expense of screwing up. I was very happy to finish at $992. Sometimes those last few points/dollars that you really really want are the ones that will sink you FAST!!!
I'd just like to thank Lemercenaire , Oldtraderman, and any other trader who has offered positive / constructive feedback. I am being shaped by influences and experiences, I have a good sense of what I see and sample that feels right, so I feel I am evolving. One other thing, I think I trade better with fewer trades, just scalping max 2 trades at a time, and not getting too ahead of myself. Ideally I would LOVE to get some trades to last longer, but I think concentrating on scalping smaller TF is my priority for now. I feel comfortable as a scalper.
