Ended at +51 ... wow ... my very first time, I think ... got more a while back but that was because of a gap ... if I can keep this up for week or so I will switch to live again and see how it goes there ... {image}
Nice to see your patience pay off.

Thank you. Did this example fail because at point 3 the bar was negative. And would the correct entry bar have been at the thrust?

Know we've covered it before but, just as a refresher.

Thanks

Edit, or could it have been that empty pin after the thrust?

My take on that chart setups ... I know it's easy in hindsight and the setups is not picture perfect but just for practice ...

you don't enter the 2b long because you are faced with a 2b short setup before the long fills:

When the 1 and 3s are so close together, I think your analysis is probably better than mine ... and there was no proper thrust bar after the second 2b, so no setup there.

Couldn't really understand how Magnum calculates gross profit on 10 contracts for 286 ticks. Shouldn't that be a gross profit of 14,300? Hmmm

Ended at +3 ... today turned into a battle of sorts ... did not start off well ... I should have know better than to take the first trade just after it bounced at a good S&D level ... but I quickly go over the emotions and was focussed again ... and then the second loss when I decided to be a bit more aggressive, eish ... from there emotions started popping up and was hard to handle ... the battle was on ... (next time I will take a small break to just relax and focus before going at it again) ... if I left the 3rd trade alone I would have had my first +25 and BE but I meddled with it .... and then the frustration of all the just missed ones piled up and emotions got worse until I did take a short break with pushups etc ... when I got back I just waited for good pullbacks and let it go and there the +25 was ....

Looking back at the chart, there are SO MANY OPPORTUNITIES ... it is amazing ... there is just no reason to rush anything ... as Mr D says ... patience and practice, practice, practice.

Enjoy the weekend !!!
