Journey to consistency

practice is exactly what i meant.
of patience.
need a lots of practice.
sometimes no trading is just as important decision for the account, than buying or selling decisions are.

985 daily R was powerful.

1h S 930 broke daily S 818 still in tact.

now if it's really going down I (think) I should get a PB at 935 next 1h S 896.

net +13 I couldn't stick with my target 897 had a retest back to 935

I'm done for today don't want to take unnecessary risk.

5min S btw at 913 from below that's why I was a little hesitant to take this short from 935 I'm still trying to learn to see how the effect plays out after the cause for short trades I think I have a pretty decent idea on how the effect plays off of from the cause on long trades around critical levels.

*looks like I should have"

it's okay I'll do better once I let of these info sink in.

I did draw my levels right it seems on daily, 1h and on 5min, I have also seen how it reacts above or below a certain level if it has to push higher or lower from thereon on 5min of course more to be seen and absorbed. Now I understand the importance of using multiple TFs and I think I'm learning to combine all of them together.

I just have to keep doing and improving what I have been doing I'm on the right path since Jan'19 I've had 8 winners and 2 losers I'm planning to end the month in some form of net positive.

898 breakout attempt up.

Possibilities above or below a significant level

Anatomy of an up move
Anatomy of a down move

How to differentiate impulse waves from retracement waves.

I must thank Jupiter and his screenshots.

Analyzing yesterday's move, those lines along with anatomy of an up/down are making sense maybe not completely but surely enough its much better than a little bit

Initially after the breakout attempt at 931 which was the 1h R I was expecting for 935 to hold and 5min R 951 to get a retest but it didn't it flew right through 951 and went for 985 which was the main R daily resistance by then I still had hope well I had seen a breakout attempt I thought but then as it came falling down 935,931 was quickly abolished by then I knew this was going to be a resistance now so I waited for a PB back to 935 and it did exactly what it was supposed to PB back to 935 I did get on that short but exited too damn early well today I'm looking at my lines again and regretting that I should have held tight on to that short!!

it went down for 100pips down to 818 again main Support daily S I guess DAX couldn't care less about Brexit vote it had to be traded law of vibration attracting more sellers gaining more momentum as levels kept breaking down to 818, DAX did rise up from 818 which was not a coincidence again market has a profound logic and reasoning I'm quoting Jupiter how true that is!

Conclusion I was wrong about it going up, the main direction for yd was down.

If i had known that and trusted myself I would have sat tight on my short until 818 of course given that price behavior confirmed the direction above or below 1h levels.

The main reason why I keep getting out of trades early is simply because I don't know enough !

My bottomline is improving still and now I can be at least 70% sure that it isn't just a luck, or a temporary good run how can I be so sure ? I'm starting to "really" see the truth, I see the logic why it moves in 1 way or another the main driving force and when it wants to move in one direction to another the hints that it gives .. it's all about S&R, multiple TF, peak and trough, MA's, fractals..... it hasn't been easy AT ALL. But I'm excited "truly" excited to uncover more of its secrets. Back to work enough the ramble.

Daily retrace up wave for now still in tact 818 being the main S main range for daily remains to be between 818 S and 985 R
However on 1h I see something on 880-887 area possibility of this turning down ??

I don't know but I as far as I can see daily up wave that had been going on from 534 to 985 has been a retrace wave, on 1h I also don't see the anatomy of an up wave however on 5min I did see anatomy of an up wave

I think for today 880-887 is going to the focal point, going down to 5min that up move looks like a retrace wave , I don't see any sign of impulse wave push above or below 1h levels evident on 5min.

I'm bearish for today but we'll re confirm everything of course as the session gets going, 1h prior Frankfurt I'll come back to recheck the 1h levels and add extra notes and re-examine everything.

-11 thus far I had been selling since the beginning of London session today has been a very challenging day for me as levels from different TFs collided since the beginning of London price had a retest run to 931 while I was sure that this was a retest run up compared to yd where I was a bit off I was confused by price behavior it wasn't as slick yes yesterday's price behavior for sure......

then 5min real resistance revealed itself I wasn't very right about my 5min level at 913 I sold the retest but I was hesitant because 1h R now S 907 was right below now looking back I do see why price tried to push higher from 907 now it all makes sense 907 broke then 907 retest was at 901 I sold there as well but did not stick with my target which was 880 area the main S on 1h now on 5min there's 888 and 897 if it fails to retest 921 retest is a possibility 878 is on hold the main levels I should wait

31 gets a retest I do see low trough low peak in the making but from the downside I have to be careful of 897

+2pips.

possibility of 914 retest is probable from here or break

it has reached 878
retest back to 898 is probable here.

LOL reached the target and I hadn't even entered that short.

Now what well I can't complain because that setup on 5min was perfect ready to fall to 871 and it did right at the open.

Possible scenario's : a. 871 could break next S 847, b. retest up to 911, c. retest up to 931

I probably should wait for London, but I see something on 881 ... I'll let price confirm, my guess is that 911 should or could get a retest at least I mean it has to it's a question of when.

apparently you can still lose trying to do the right thing I think at this point, it's more of a habit I mean I spent 4.5 years losing that fear have developed into a full bad habit. I'm not proud of that at all, but there's 1 thing I am and that is I sold it at the break of that trend line LOL to me it wasn't just a trend line it sure signified a meaning for bears and as it came pushing towards the trend line and also 1h main S 847 I felt that push and I sold it that was the 15pips my target was 818 daily S but there's 1h S at 830 I was aware of that so I exited.

I didn't stick with my target as usual although compared to how I used to trade just last month where I wasn't really sure where to exit I was missing my lines beautiful lines now I have them ! and I know where I should exit or lookout for possible spike up retest, or temporary directional change, they're my compass its much easier to navigate through the dance with them around and daily and 1h structure in the back of my mind.

Overall I am "really" happy at the progress I've made, things that I've been seeing but there's more to done... it'll never end.

875........ but gotta be careful is it coming for 911 or possibly 931 ?

1h trend line on 1h is on hold for now although it did break on 5min by 830 this could be going for 911 now of course they wouldn't let this 830 go so easily would they

I didn't see 883 retest I see... now there's also 875 PB down to 847 I'm net +11 for the day.

I think I'm becoming good at sells of course more practice is needed tomorrow morning I should study long trades with lines after I'm done with my analysis.

oh I see what you've been trying to do all along.... very clever and very technical looks like I might get to practice on some long trades today but daily R is right up ahead going to be an interest day

Change of plan maybe 981 daily R I didn't see it when I was preparing in the AM.

wrong! 11030 daily R breakout ??!

it's bullish I think my analysis was right, but I couldn't deal with the now I had my plan to buy below 944 but it went beyond 981 so there I was confused on 1h it was a breakout scenario on 5min again perfect point of entry above 10981 it was!!

now I'm thinking where should I buy ?

11006 level of interest, on the upside 5min R 11018, 11002 you had to touch it....
I'm ready if it says it's ready.

11030 is also 50SMA on daily so a lot of pressure to the downside is expected but I'm not seeing much of a pressure but push higher...

it should go below 11006 but 5min R is at 11002 not much room to go below but 10990 is a possibility but in a breakout scenario with bulls this strong I think this should be acceptable ? as long as 5min 11018 breaks next R 11089

I lack patience but its getting better bailed out of that long beautiful ! target was at 11089

net +13

As for some reflection , I've have made real progress as far as analyzing the charts daily,1h and 5min and coming to my desk with a bias every afternoon 1h prior Frankfurt open. I previously said that I was getting good at trading short setups but needed more practice on long trades well I think today I've resolved that challenge, they're more or less the same you just have to look at them and recognize them from the right side ! otherwise the gamble and the confusion will begin especially if you're only focusing on 1m or 5m smaller TFs.

Preplanned sequences and Extemporaneous response --- now I need to practice the latter.
