Trade Review: Looking for feedback on my first 24 trades (0.73 R:R)
Here is my current journal. I’m disciplined with my stops (losers are generally small), but I’m struggling to catch the big 3–5R moves.
My average hold time is very short. Am I over-trading the noise, or is the current market just not providing follow-through for these setups? Any advice on my ticker selection or timing would be huge. I have attached My journal and distribution curve charts with this post.
