This was the pair that ate up my awesome week profit.
A tragedy really,
Disgraceful to see how I let an idea in my mind blind me to the fact that PA was (for the most part) not actually giving me a signal to get started with the idea, let alone the fact that I started over-leveraging my trades as the my first attempts at my idea failed.

No Need to Double Prematurely

Proving a point to myself that there is NO NEED for me to double prematurely (when I am aiming for further targets; going from 1stDouble⇉2ndDouble, AND ESPECIALLY when going from 2ndDouble⇉3rdDouble.)

If I just want to scalp and take advantage of a 6-10pip burst of PA I feel is likely to happen, that is another thing (MAINLY when going from EntrySize⇉1stDouble, sometimes when going from 1stDouble⇉2ndDouble.)


Breaking it down:
If I am at 2ndDouble, that's 12lev, a 100pip target from my line gets me 12%
-if I double 30pips later, I am at 3rdDouble (24lev),
my new AVG line to the same target is 85pips away, and gets me 20.4%.
-----that is a 70% increase in profit, instead of if i just left my trade at 12lev
-----also, my new AVG is 15pips away from the price i add-in at. (So this is a safer adding-in distance.)

###
-if I double 10pips later, I am at 3rdDouble (24lev),
my new AVG line to the same target is 95pips away, and gets me 22.8%.
-----that is a 90% increase in profit, instead of if i just left my trade at 12lev
-----also, my new AVG is 5pips away from the price i add-in at. (So this is a riskier adding-in distance.)

This riskier adding-in distance IS NOT worth the additional 2.4% profit I would get from the move.
Therefore, having more patience before adding-in DOES NOT impact my profit potential.

Week 5
Week Ending 1/20/17
-1.83%
Entries: 26

_20170121_125640.jpg (196.87 KiB) Viewed 2421 times

Week high: 6.8%
Week low: -2.94%

Had a good idea to make the first day of the week easier for me -- on this day I will only do D1 Wick Zone trades. (Allows me to watch charts, but be more selective about my first entries for the week.)

Had a good week despite my results. Most of the time I was in the positive. A funny thing was that I was hovering around 0.6% - 1.8% feeling like I was putting in a bunch of work and not getting anywhere. Then, almost out of nowhere, I found myself in a trade from the extreme with enough SPACE and a good leverage size, and just like that (almost) I had a nice weekly profit.
I also had a few Stop Limit Orders that were picked up right at the turn of the market, it was interesting to see I had a few trades perfectly placed like this. No, I didn't profit on all of them b/c sometimes I was in the mindset to try and add-into the trades for something bigger, and it didn't work out.

I also came up with some different criteria for when I want to start attempting to hold higher leverage trades for greater targets...what I did on UCad was embarrassing.

My last two trades of the week were kind of special. I hit my week low, and decided to stop trading for the week b/c obviously my brain short-circuited as I was trying to Short UCad and lost control of myself. I didn't want to lose anymore money for the week.
However, early Friday a.m., I woke up, looked at my phone and spotted a good opportunity while still half asleep. So i felt good that I was able to overcome my fear of losing more money, and acted on something promising I saw on the charts.

When I was at my week high, my account was finally back to around where it was when I started this latest campaign, back on Sunday, December 11.
Well, I only need 8.21% to get back up there.
I'll probably do that this week.
