Plan the Trade

Had to miss the session taking care of some business. Looks like some good levels

+17 -41 +19 I must be able to trade to recover. I must avoid ranges, I must avoid ranges, I must avoid ranges...

I think you mean you must avoid ranges am I right?

The thing is I watch you do those video's (which are most appreciated btw) and you make it look so easy with your perfect candles (lol). And then I try it. First one worked out, and then I went down like a sack of shit.

And then, I got this little voice saying (we all know the one), 'well that one failed, odds are on that the next one will'. Then I go back to what I know, bail myself out and then I'm too knackered to carry on.

I've been busy with work of late, but I'm going to try and re-evaluate what I'm doing wrong (I suspect it is fear of failure). What you have taught us makes perfect sense to me, I'm just frustrated that I can't replicate it. Yet.

Sorry for the rant guys.

I think you got it oj just watch the money management no 41 tick losses 13 yes

Thank you for the words of encouragement. Please could you confirm your chart settings thus:

Don't know what that screen shot was but I trade 30 second chart not 15 second chart

Sorry, chart settings/scale.

Ah ok, I was on 15 seconds today.

Edit: Sussed it, scale padding percentage. My candles were filling the screen at the open, most distracting.

low volume so far

if hour doesn't close below 7394, i'll look to buy

No entries so far, missed a few by a tick or two ... patience ....

could have got pb to demand bar .. i missed it

Eish ... still no entries ... missed another one by a tick just now .. would have gone to 10 and stopped out at 1 anyway ...

I ended at -13 with only one trade taken ... missed quite few ones ... I think I am perhaps too cautious in live mode ... will go to sim mode again for a day or so to practice and build confidence.

i took the long here

poor day .. will leave it there

I missed this one too. Pending was too low

+23 11 entries, which is far too many. When you zoom out and look at it so far I'm not so mad at myself. Well done to everyone in profit!
