Thread: Mysterios Trading Journal (based on THV)

Thank You for the comment.

I am still ironing out this. Roughly speaking, I'll move the stop to B/E following half of the 3 x ATR (20) value. Then I will TP upon a cross in the opposite direction of trix OR touch of a known SR level, trendline or major pivot. First stop will probably be the 3 x ATR (20) degree.

This really is the most shaky part of my egy so if anyone wants to input, it is welcome.

Morning pipsqueaks,

TOTAL TODAY: 7.5 14 = 21.5

I was not enjoying e/u this afternoon. It had been in a narrow range and I would have got when I took every signal, whipsawed.

I believe I am just going to concentrate on g/u which usually breaks decisively from the morning. I'm taking a look at g/j too although I need a way of filtering out false breakouts.

Man, it's easy to spot opportunities in hindsight but taking them in real time is a nightmare.

G/J is looking appealing. The first circle is the trade I would have taken this morning. My new SL/TP egy could have saved me in the reversal. The second circle I would have taken on the trendline break. Would've, should've, could have

What a gorgeous short opportunity from 1.61200 on cable, I expect some of you caught that. Talk about'no brainer trades'.

Possible long opportunity just below 1.5800, I'll be keeping a close watch on that strong support area.

Couldn't resist a fast 6 on EU

Have a fantastic weekend folks, I'm doing jury duty next week so this diary may not be upgraded.

Another fast 5

VERY tempted to move over into 1 minute screens

Didn't get chosen as a juror, thankfully.

Sticking to 5min screens for now.

Entered long on E/U at 1.47675

- Long and short term trend is UP
- Price has cleared R1
- Price is over coral and cloud
- Divergence on Trix

Stopped out B/E. I moved the stop fast as I detected some resistance about 5 min chart.

LONG: G/U 1.58258

- Upwards Channel
- Divergence on 5min
- Price above coral and cloud

Out -15

Edit: I broke my own rules here. If I had my SL in 3xATR(20), I would still be in this commerce with favorable pips.

22 on GU, that's more like it

SHORT at 1.58001, closed at 1.57786

Chart to follow

7 for the day. Anticipating a complete day on the display.

- Divergence, break of trendline, alter of 15min trix supplied a clue the trade was forthcoming
- Close under cloud and break of coral contributed my entrance

I am considering adding the 15min MTF trix colour as an additional filter. As it was red, it could have kept me from that -15 commerce, indiing the upward station was running out of steam.
