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

Instead of showing entry times, I would like to see the profit or trade breakdown. Just a humble request.

I don't know how you do it, but I think I am already blind looking at your screen! Do you wear sunglasses while you trade? haha...

Thanks for sharing, this is good stuff.

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

Just my one cent hope it helps

Best Regards

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".

No need to change the screen. Just a comment.

You are doing fine yourself!
