Daily P&L: -0.75 (2 trades, 1 loser, 1 winner)
Trade Summary
Trade 1: Market showed support around the 4720 level, only to sell off rapidly to new lows. Stop-loss should have been tighter.
Trade 2: Stop-limit entry set close by to flip short to capture downside. Could have exited at original profit-take of 4704.75 for +10.25 had I not moved my profit-take. Had stop-limit order been higher (and closer to tighter stop-loss from trade 1), it would have given me a little more flexibility to move the stop-loss and capture additional profits.
Mentally checked out by noon today as a new addition to the family arrived!
