V. - my wife is also very good at what I call "diversion conversations". but as you point out +20 is +20. Just don't tell her that!

She says in her defence that we had the losses of contact, fair enough. They have been continuing so we have not traded again. Also she is trying to get past 20 pips bank, proving more difficult than expected.

Oh wanted to mention we have for now dropped the 1 min charts, we did a check on what trades are losing money and 1 min trades were disproportionately high. When they work fine but win % wasn't good enough.

1hr pos close doji, reject of 85 level (15/85 trade down). 15 min positive close. 5 min hl, little no upper wick on entry candle.

Counter trend so out +20 (surprise, surprise). Obviously a realistic target is 5750 but what the heck.

1hr pos close but large upper wick around Y's low. 15 min shooting star. 5 min lh little/no lower wick. Mrs V Freaky Fri I'm not playing with RN +20 bank indi went off. So out +20.

We are also going out in a little bit so 2 x +20 and we are pretty happy. No doubt at least we are going to 5685 and lower from there TWT.

Mrs V just finishing putting on the war paint before we leave.

I was having a review of the trades. 3 trades 1 BE, 2 x 20 pip winners which is great and does the confidence wonders. That made me think of the speed wobble we had trading wise some time ago and nothing seemed to go right resulting in a bad month. I ran around trying to find the reasons, went back added 1 min set up back in the pot with mixed results. Ditched 1 min again, haven't had a losing trade since (yes I know that won't last but whilst its happening I'll take it with gratitude). That made me realise yet again just how important the psych aspect is to this little game we play, even more so if its your primary source of income.

Conclusion 1.
So whilst we exited the 2nd trade too early (OK we are going out now and we did have to get ready and I at least knew we were getting out too early) and thats something we have to work on. Consistently banking pips does wonders for us. The mental aspect of trading is crucial.

Conclusion 2.
Analyse reasons for good and bad performance and stick to your trading plan - unless you have found good reason to change it. For us the odd squiggly line on a chart may change here and there, big deal. Trades at extremes (trade 1 on post 1) thereafter follow 1hr, 15, 5 min hl/lh's at key levels with good candles that are not overly large and little/no wicks in direction of move is the core of trades and stays the same.

Cheers.

Great work Dave and thanks for the reminder about having a plan and sticking to it.

Have a great weekend all.

Good start to the week. 15M engulfing off the DP, shooting star then a TL break. 1M LH no wick.

I'm by no means consistent but when I stick to what I've learnt I'm more likely to be successful.

I can't thank you enough V
(and EV for recent 15M examples on acumen's thread).

Counter to the 1hr but a neg 15 min close then a 15 min shooting star. 5 min lh, no lower wick. Gave enough chances to go lower exited +12. Better than nothing.

Just as well we would have been out at BE.

Mrs V was just saying she viewed the 15 min up candle on eur as a retracement then we went offline (internet connection not platform) and missed the eur/ej fall.

Sold the lh evening star pattern 3164. Mrs V apparently wanted me to sell the doji around 3175 which would have been against the 15 min pos close candle.

I failed mind reading at school so I suggested she make her positive mental energies a little clearer and in the traditional manner ie talk woman!!!

It never followed through below 3150 so we got a few pips again.
