A fresh start! Doji's Trading Journal

[newscalper]

Anyway, after my dreadful day yesterday I decided to look at things more closely today.
Not I'm doing the same thing just in a different manner using supply and demand!

If you say these charts are unclear when I'm doing them while trading live then...shoot me down


Potential demand zone


What it's looking like on H1 (after the following charts occurred)





Waited for failure of M5 supply level


Logic dictates that if it's then pulling back to the breakout zone then you have to drop to M1 to see an M1 supply level fail also



Entered on break of level



This is what it looks like on H1


But there is an issue, to pull back, it had to create an M5 supply level... oh dear



For a moment it looked like it was going to go back down but finally broke through the top. The dark blue areas are newly created M1 zones. As you can see it's a complete guess as to which will fail or hold.


hit the next level up, reacted and I added




And now OANDA have been down for 25 minutes.
Typical!

[newscalper]

now down 35 minutes

[newscalper]

Apparently their entire system is down: no phone dealing either



All you can do is send an email to the front desk requesting closure of all open positions and that's time stamp/proof.



Like they can't just say they never received it.

Just as my long is coming into supply

I'll get there one day... I promise

So, am I on the right track with this analysis>?

I guess time till tell...





must admit it looks a lot more attractive than the previous chart

Still in this one...

[newscalper]

Well, they're back online, my positions are still intact and further in profit.
Trouble is I sent them an email saying close all open positions, which they haven't done - it takes up to 2 days apparently
So do I just hold the damn things, close now, or what? No idea. I suppose if it goes further into profit they'll say 'no no' and close at the time when I sent the email and take back the difference. No point trying to add any more to it anyway - it's coming into H1 supply anyway.


Edit:
Just spoke to a rep - he says as they haven't acted on the email the positions can stay open. I'm going to try to add again in a moment.
I'll see in the ensuing weeks what happens.

Jalarupa,

If you are to grow then you must remove what you have learned from your sight until

THIS:

BECOMES THIS:

Only an internal knowledge can master a chart of a thousand variables.

[Jalarupa]

MO looking at that just makes me wanna hurl at the thought of how far I still have go.

Thank you for the humbling perspective.

Now if you'll excuse me I think I'll go lie down for a bit...
