🧠Emotional Log

**Pre-Trade**
I understand all the confluences within my thesis, I accept this risk as I know if it is a loss I clearly understand exactly why I took to the trade. My stop is protected and if price takes me out there is a chance it is forming something else anyway. Do not be greedy, but also do not hesitate. These are the trades I must allow myself to take.
**During Trade**
My stop is protected, allow price to do its thing. My entry is valid, and I understand structure over candlesticks. I utilised the timeframes as best I could, working from the 1H structure filtering down to the 15M without jumping in. Do not choke the trade, mini 90% rule is in play so let price do its thing.
**Post-Trade**
I understand that price created a mini scoop for a much sharper entry, however, how can we guarantee this will always happen. My entry was valid, and stop was protected, I understood the 90% rule kicking in and managed risk accordingly to price action on the 1H. Nothing more I could have done in this situation and capital was protected.

USDJPY Trade Recap 19th July 2023How am I feeling pre-trade?
I am feeling confident in my mind, I forecasted the risk entry and not allowed little things to put me off the trade. Normally I would be saying things like ‘its gone past the hook’, ‘there needs to be a nice retrace or pin bar’ but ultimately it has all of the ingredients to sell. Ascending channel, meets AT hook with a 1H retrace candle. I am happy I did not allow these past issues to overcome my decision, this is also helping with my entry criteria and structure over candlesticks.
EUR/JPY, USD/JPY and USD/CAD on watch for me today.EUR/JPY:
• If price pushes up to and ideally just above our rayline, then regardless of how it does so I'll be waiting for a convincing impulse back down followed by a tight flag and then I'll be looking to get short with a reduced risk entry on the break of the flag.
• If this setup doesn't present itself then I will simply wait until another setup which meets my plan materialises.
• If there's any ambiguity then I will not place this trade.
USD/JPY:
• If price continues to correct between now and I'm awake to place the order then I'll be looking to get short with a reduced risk entry on the break of this tight one hour flag.
• If this setup doesn't present itself then I will simply wait until another setup which meets my plan materialises.
• If there's any ambiguity then I will not place this trade.
USD/CAD:
• If price breaks the upper descending trend line of our most recent piece of structure, it does so impulsively and in a convincing manner and a subsequent tight flag forms, then I'll be looking to get long with a reduced risk entry on the break of the flag.

• If there's any ambiguity then I will not place this trade.
Midweek Review: New Pairs, New TradesHey everyone Dean here from WealthTIP, were our tip for wealth is to trade, invest, and prosper. So today we looking at a few pairs that could be offering some interesting opportunities before the week ends. To see what we looking at simply watch right through and let me know what you think.
No Forecast (WTICO/USD Trade Update).The market as it has for the whole of October is looking great frame a higher time frame perspective but very poor from a lower time frame one, at least in terms of opportunities which meet my plan. So this is just a quick trade update for you where the short trade that I placed yesterday on WTICO/USD is concerned.
Patience always pays folks and I'm in this game for the long haul, not with the intention of "getting risk quickly" like a large percentage of my fellow market participants are but with the intention of continuing to generate wealth for myself and my family steadily and when you let the market come to you as opposed to you chasing the market you'll feel empowered as I always do and this is going to increase your confidence in your trading ability as it has mine and it's this confidence and this mindset which is going to set you up for success as a trader.
Have a great weekend!

💭 €4,300 In my sleep 💤 (recap)last night we executed a few trades prior to the New York market close and before we went to sleep, this morning many of those trades were in profit and one trade reached its Stop Loss while the other reached its Take profit.
- FTSE SELL / STOP LOSS
- XAGUSD SELL / TAKE PROFIT
While the other trades, such as AUDUSD and GBPUSE were in a decent profit.
Since the target of this account is 10% a day, the account has reached its target before we even started trading for the day!
Questions are welcome and good luck!
XAUUSD Short 10k recapHere's a quick recap of how we shorted XAUUSD this morning at the London open and banked over 10k profit.
We traded a reversal in price coming to the 30% of the fib retracement, from the recent high to the recent low, RSI was up at the 70 level and it was all connected with a trendline.
This is a classic example of the trade setups we take.
Questions are welcome and will all be answered.
Tuesday Watch-list Overview Good evening everyone,
This video is just to go into more detail on the charts I sent out into the group earlier today. We have been taken out of USDCHF for 25pip SL, well done to those who avoided the stop hunt.
I'll still be looking for a short on the pairs as the USD is showing weakness across the board.
The pairs are not yet breaking the previous days lows or highs, so this means they are in NO TRADING ZONES!!!
Remain patient and wait for the setups to arise, you don't have to be in a trade all of the time. Our trade copier has banked over 2% today on USDJPY, do not feel pressured into trading, if you have funds in the copier let the algo do it's thing and focus on trading yourself.
For anyone who would like more information on the paid services we provide at Alpha Trading Group, please leave a message in the comment section below.
Trade safe everyone.
