Started with my dance on new $200 demo

here is the first one. let me know what you think about it.

img 1: bought 0.1 at the 1st arrow

img 2: bought second 0.1 at the 2nd arrow

then it stalled for some time so I exited at the 2nd entry bar itself..

img 3: ...and I think I was impatient ..heh....

hey dongsky, I don't wish to add clutter to your journal by posting my screens.. so I will be showing you a few selected ones which I think may be important ones... or PM you.

Thanks again!

sorry for inconvenience! Actually I was at work when I took that trade or when I was looking at the price. There I have kept the colors "lightest" possible so noone except me could make out what I'm looking at

its not that they won't like this but its just me ..LOL....I'll try to change the colors and post them back.

Thanks!

Hi Nik,

If i will dance your chart... I will be very bearish... considering a strong downtrend move since last week...

what i see, you try to go against the trend... and it's not a good habit to form... i'm not saying you cannot do that... of course you can... a lot of traders doing that, including me, for a quick pips... but one should know what he's doing... before i go against the trend... during a pullback... i should define my target levels where or when to get out...

and looking at your chart... if i will do a counter trend here... i will deploy my scout on the first small pullback... where i put X... and start adding aggressively because my tp level should be somewhere around level B area...

but the correct approach to this chart... (of course by cross referencing by higher time frame charts) i will still wait and look for short opportunity...

i will wait for the price action to reach and retest the previous swing high ... that is at level B and observe PA... and if can feel and see bearish rejection... then i will deploy scout... but if PA will still be bull-intact and will breakout to the upside... passing level B easily... then i will wait for PA to reach or near level C...

........

now, with your entry... i will be very focus and i will not add anymore... to this... because PA is nearly approaching, to me a critical level... that i should be nimble and apply extra care...

now if i am heavily positioned... this is the time for me to scaled down my exposure...

again... it's just me

regards
