First of all I would like to thank you for your great comments!
Now I am going to "cherry pick" my results for today...no, I had no chance to highlight any of my today`s trades as a profitable. No huge loss, but 3 losing trades in row and I was shaking like a hungry snake. I rather stepped back and tried to analyze, where was the mistake of my behaving. I found it quite quickly, it was a need of action, thats it. I was thinking all the day about evening, how trading will develop and I wanted quick proof from market, that I can still do it.
Lets have a look at the chart. After nice downtrend market turned agressively, both charts were showing same direction.
nr.1-2 I didnt want to see supply area(not broken) in which I jumped...twice. Sometimes is patience the most needed property in markets.
nr.3 I bought too high, exit on trail. sl.
nr.4 I didnt want to break my rules, this trade is marked only in chart
At the end of month I would like to summarize my work in details and set goals for next month, realistic goals. I see myself too often flying very high in the $$heaven$$ .
So what about today? As always, I had a lot of fun. CL was "little" bit ranging and I wanted to hypnotize the time, no more than 45 minutes left to end of session.
trades
CL
nr.1 on higher timeframe I saw long, but first trade didnt work
nr.2 almost hit PT, just 1 tick missing, but I was fine. I realized,that I should be ready for short
nr.3-4 after falling price I wanted to push market more down, but with 1k it wasnt good idea - repeating mistake!!!
nr.5 better timing and it worked
I missed last trade, too much busy with p/l statement, too bad habit
YM
nr.6 nice sharp move with ending downtrend, but that was clear after I closed my trade.
nr.7 what was clear couple minutes ago, didnt have to be clear during my enter in this trade, I went against trend.
I make many mistakes, but I am still alive, that must be very optimistic for many people, who knows me
I am adding myself to your request and there is a some kind of magic circle in this full profit / loss performance.
I am still around zero sum in P/L at the end of month ( and I am fighting with it couple months... ) .
I have to figure out how to move forward, one of my weak property is doing same mistakes, if I would minimize it, then we should see better results.
Ok, I will see it with my sunglasses . I am sorry for my spicy coloured screen, I will change it.
Thank you for your interest
Have u tried Trading lil bigger timeframe ? like 5 and 15 or 6 and 18 ? wad i can see on ur charts is lotta noise so i wld suggest u to try to reduce it as cl moves beautifully and u only need one trade to call it a day on it so y not try to reduce the noise and try to zero in on that trade instead of using 3 and 6 and play thru it ? .. Just my one cent hope it helps
I used to trade on higher TF, but I had always problems with frequency of trades and win rate, which made me really angry
and waiting for a trade on higher TF is not good because I am loosing concetration ( it is moving slower and I want to "see" signals everywhere ).
I would be glad to trade once on higher timeframes, but this means to change my mind , completely. Thank you very much for your advice, it is on my list "to do".
U want to see signals everywhere but whats the use of it when it wont make u money ? again m just talking from my exp just my one cent u are better judge of ur trading .. Good luck with your trading ..
