it was very close....

Lost GJ
BES ON GU TP remains same....its 01 36 local time and I going back to sleep...

BES paid off TP was missed: sadly yesterday I was less distracted and more able to trade than I have been all week and it was a losing day, I followed the rules. The only thing that could be faulted was the FOMO trade at the GU 20 line,,,I also considered last night going long at the wedge formed on GJ after I was stopped out,,,,,I have rules that say not a good idea, it would have worked this time but not a good idea over time....( in other words just after a loss is not the best time to be wise and rush in to get it back) Not a good day, not a good week, losing days are a fact, losing weeks should never happen and weeks with paper thin profits are not ideal..

Monday 28/06/20
Good long entry GU took a short as well as it retraced major distractions and fat finger mangled to close both in loss, all in all wound up with $4000.00 closed loss, could have closed in small profit a while ago: Left it and tried to mangle trade and did by fat finger again! and closed out wrong trade, was trying to close GU short that was in least profit...but closed GJ by mistake.
GU at present stats is on first retracement running for less than 50 points usually about 20...GJ runs for 50 I suspect I was on a winner with current trades but closed for small profit, I am busy with my patient at present and suspect a donkey would trade better than I have today.....next trade tomorrow ...

Monday at the end of the day.....with what was and what could have been..

Tuesday 29th not the best start for the day, in hindsight a straddle trade would have been better...

BES on GU and GJ short ......looks like GJ wants to make a run for the highs of the day?

Stopped out, will wait and see....

Oh dear....the price of safety, the entry was OK the stop could maybe have been put the other side of the 50 line..

GU stop moved to above 50 line....

For the want of a stop being a bit higher we would be looking at closing for $4000.00 I mention this as we lost 4000.00 last night and got it back....its far better to get it and not lose it....

Closed GU as the up candle on 5 min took out the bodies of the previous 3 candles....normally would have played my hand differently however have loss to overcome from this morning and if GU was stopped above 50 line its $1000.00 and leaving a deficient...for the trading day.. all in all bad trading for the day again.

WEDNESDAY 30/06 USDX counter party to GU Attached along with GU and GJ my entries were good I am tired and thought I would close them and get a better bite of the cherry....basically a physiology fail...am off to sleep and will look at things with fresh eyes afterward, however having missed this buss its best I sit on hands...

Thursday 01/07/21 NFP day tomorrow local time is 1:40 pm I am going for a walk unfortunately I have a trade on that is not in profit> When i come back things will be 1 better 2 worse 3 just the same will be stopped out at around loss of $1000.00, I will lower the TP while I am away, this is not necessary if BE stop is on, well the entry was not optimal, entry is everything..

Back from walk trade pretty much the same, if the price settles above 50 line a BE stop would be wise and TP at 50 pts close to RN which would pay 3:1 RR or $3000.00

15 M chart this time and BE stop about to be applied.....

08:00 chart time or 5pm local time price breaks below 50 line..its not looking good .....

Stopped out for small loss....

Oh dear for the want of a better entry or slightly wider stop, having said that BE is the optimum and having a trade go in and out of profit is sub optimum, the better entry says it all....
