Re: A fresh start! Doji's Trading Journal
Thought you went for 20 pips a day?
Do you not plan on "working" for 25 days after this trade?

Hey Pro,
Great to hear from you. The sema and DF is there for reference and extreme visuality ( is that a word?). I teach a couple of people via dropbox and it helps with understanding for them. My daily goal only has to be 20 pips a day for what I need. Notice how I set a stop at +15 and let it run? I don't monitor my trades after I have a stop in. I also don't limit my profits. So even though I did really well that night while sleeping, its a check in my box for the 20 pips for the day, the rest was just a bonus or lot size magnifier for the future trades. If I would have gotten stopped out then I would have traded for 5 more pips the next morning. When I sit here and read charts I will set some targets so I can be done for day if my schedule doesn't allow enough time.

This kind of charting makes 20 pips a day a no brainer!

Rule of thumb:
e) Price retraces to 23.6 to 50 percent of the 'cd' leg for entries.
'ab' legs become 'cd' legs after the initial run.

Re: A fresh start! Doji's Trading Journal
Initial run is over
'cd becomes the 'ab' for the 2nd run.
Retrace and enter.
20 pips.
Done for day!

Doji,
Is this how you would mark the letters? And, how would you define the times when A & B are on the same bar, and those times when they are on separate bars? Are C & D always on the same bar? Thx.
