Very tricky, keeping this journal should help though. Always so obvious after the fact.

It's a miracle, green on a Monday. Too many trades again, although I never hit my new Monday personal stop loss of $325. One of those winners would've been a good one. The chop was making it too hard to hold. Sold for a plus 3 after it reversed too hard for my liking. Ended up making it to plus...

have a good weekend as well, and let's hope so.

Good job. It's nice when you get in to a flow.

I wanted to put up both combines here, when I read back on this I would like this image burned in to my head. The one on top is current, and passing all metrics at this point. I have plenty of time to reach the $ goal, I just want to add a few more layers for myself. New Rule. 6 points of max...

Yes, I adjusted too quick on the first trade. It went almost 20 points from there, was pretty much 1 point from HOD. I'll get the next one.

Last trade in today, lot of probes and not working. I'm using right about 400 as daily stop limit now. Thought about 300, but just too tight for my style.

Ouch, that order I killed too quick is plus 18 and running. Follow the plan is the lesson for today.

trade one stopped out for 3/4 point. adjusted stops a little too quick there. Bad management, at plus 8 here on that one. 1.25 total heat. Liked low 80's zone premarket, just didn't want to get caught up in any speed down there. Nice move off lows so far.

Update from day 4. Comparing to the last combine, still ok trading Tuesday's-Thursday's. Which as I've mentioned, I've also noticed in my personal account. Monday's are usually not good. Friday's are typically losers, but I've had some big gains on Friday when I've caught a good run.

haha, no problem.

I do find it helpful to look back and replay it all out.

Yeah, burn out is definitely a concern. Leave the house at 6am, home at 7 or 8. Get a little study in and get my 8 hours of sleep. I've never wanted anything in my life this badly before. It might take a little pain to get there.

yeah, it's hard when you have a full time job. I go in to work 3-4 hours early so I can watch the premarket, and trade the first couple hours.

Yeah, will take some time to get there, but I'm prepared to put in the work. Hoping by year 5 I'll get a handle on it. Feel like I'm learning a lot being 9 months in. Constant screen time has been super helpful.

Thanks, stopped on that last one for plus 4 right here. Refused to break down there. Holding can be tough, but the bigger winners help me a lot. It helps to make up for some bad entries. I'm happy I developed this mindset starting out though. Once my entries improve with more experience, I think...

Runner got stopped for plus 10 on the last one. Last trade in here is a single lot, up a little on it. have stops in at plus 4, going to let it work a bit. Been able to ride a couple today.

undercut of lows and minor bounce, stops down to plus 10 in case they hold 84's LOD.

Moving stops on runner, in case high 80's zone holds here.

Order one no fill, missed fill 1 tick. 7.5 points move after. filled orders stopped -2 for by 1 tick. Order 2 trimmed half at plus 5. Stops b/e on runner. those 1 ticks messing with me today.
