I've suffered enough (I think) trust me

Journey to consistency

last trade of the day -0.4% from -2% I might have gotten out a lot earlier (this is another major obstacle) but happy to have recovered from a major DD

it takes "a lot of time" to get good at trading lower TFs I think its well worth it but I wouldn't advise you trade them on live unless until you know what you're doing been doing it 2 years almost still haven't cracked everything I've blown up 2 ...

I wouldn't mind another journal or thread I need all the learning I can get.

20ema 100sma 200ema I still don't think I use them the right way, but they do give me some structure otherwise I would feel as though I'm blindfolded. don't think if this goes above that you buy or sell kind of MA works here, because if DAX wants to ...

how can you have clear rules or "mental road map" when you're trying to "follow her lead" ? because like you said she can change her mind as she pleases to ! what do you mean by "clear rules" ? and how do you define it ?

Journey to consistency

appreciate your feedback!! now that you're talking "green line is the now", "horizontal level is respected", "you can't have a bearish bias" I overanalyzed and I admit I was wrong as you can see I like to come up with excuses, I put the blame on 2m ...

Journey to consistency

well it didn't I'm just making whatever excuse I can get to make myself appear as if I'm the victim instead of just admitting I couldn't read the flow let's admit it now I got the directional bias wrong DAX did go up 40-50pips range during London ...

I bailed out from the same dance on 2m with 2pips. I can't seem to dance along seamlessly. today has been a tricky PA day for me at the least compared to previous few days or maybe because I just couldn't read the flow.

Carpe diem: Intraday tactics for Dax and Dow

my 2m chart looks longish no longer longish, looks shortish. nothing certain. I have no idea where this is going to go now *so its probably best that I stay put* but 15m looks shortish it doesn't want to fall below and yet so much hoops to jump ...

Carpe diem: Intraday tactics for Dax and Dow

Lesson 1 If London goes against my bias don't trade the London open come back in an hour and see if there's tradeable setups.

makes perfect sense !

DAX Futures Mar18

so now you want to go up ? after I bail out with a loss ? before it even hit my SL ? maybe its my problem I'm too "impatient"

Journey to consistency

I also expected DAX to fall to 13140 are then when it refused to drop upon London open I bought it just to realize prominent resistance levels right up ahead. I'm out now with -1.5%dd. Maybe in an hour we'll get some directional bias.

DAX Futures Mar18

I guess I should sometimes still stick with my directional bias and if something feels off just pass it ? Could have saved me 15$. Well that's a done deal. Now according to 15m my bias remains bearish won't be buying it. I'll come back at 17:00 and ...

Journey to consistency

London open sucked big time My bias was "down" however it didn't want to go down and yet had no momentum to carry it above 13215 still think it could go up a little from there. for me I'm down -1.5% dd

Journey to consistency

I wouldn't leave a position running especially DAX, because anything can happen. Another point I want to add is that when you stick with 1 instrument, you learn the little nuances and therefore learn to know what to expect. DAX usually gives a ...

My take on Emotional Discipline

who knew. +150pips don't think much will happen now. if you were on 2m you wouldn't have guessed that we were going to get this much at 17:30 slot which I decided not to trade for now until I perfect London open. I think I eventually would like to ...

Journey to consistency

Think I'm getting better at gauging the direction of the move at London open, and pinpointing a signal on 2m. Next challenge would be to hold onto trades longer in order to increase my winners as opposed to losers aka challenge 2. Challenge 2. I ...
