1st-5th December 2014 : R-4.8


Monday:R-2.3: Neglected to Label Highs, Lows and S&R.  Resulted in shorting at demand. Really inbetween methods and doing neither of them correctly.  also trading EJ!

Tuesday: R-2.5: Mess on the EJ, Much Better on EU, Decided On Method.  More in post, in short; trading with price to 20EMA on pullbacks to demand and 20EMA, or rallies to supply and 20EMA. Losses came from EJ trading with no method.

Wednesday:R+0.9: Short off R+20EMA. An example of correctly trading tuesday's method.

Thursday: R-0.8: Selling at Demand and Failing to SAR. An example of trading tuesday's method incorrectly and incompletely,  I've got to SAR on failure to get back to BE.

Friday: OFF

Notes:  Started with no real method and because I insisted on continuing like this I did a number on my P/L over monday and Tueday I couldn't recover from. (Well I could have had I been a bit more confident on Tues PM,  not messed Thurs up.

Summary: 
  • Trade with Price to 20EMA, 
  • Price blw 20ema = short,  price abv 20ema = Long.  
  • Wait for PBs/RLs to 20EMA which coincided with S/R (can break 20, mustn't break S/R)
  • Used HSL/LSH as entry,  SL low/high trigger,  PT next S/R level (this needs to be stretched in all likihood). Also need to start trail the stop:  track higher lows if long and lower highs if short. 
  • Avoid...Shorts triggering at S level (and Longs triggering at R levels)
    Avoid SSs(or HMs) that O/C are outside prior bars range
  • condense PA in AM if MT4 has over expanded it
  • Must listen to PA not Emotion
Don't trade these days...
  • BOE IR /policy and ECB IR/policy: fall on first Thursday of month = off
  • US NFPS: fall first Friday of month = off
  • FED IR / policy3rd Wednesday of month = off
  • BOJ IR/policy: happen over night GMT = not an issue
